The end of a chapter.

I've MOVED!

2011-02-16T00:54:00.000+08:00

Valentines Day came and went and all ck and I were thinking was, "Shit, our assignment is due on XXX"

That's Life in NUS ):

2011-01-16T19:54:00.001+08:00

Argh my brain is so rusty after nearly 2 months of good old holidays! Now I can't even get through a single webcast without gg to raid my fridge/play with moo/go to the toilet every 15 mins.

Been helping out at D's firm now and and, I managed to close my very first deal last last week! :) Yay! Tmr is my second assignment and I'm kind of nervous. I hope everything goes smoothly cause I spent quite alot of time preparing.

Spent Sat with my cat and we had a happy time! His hair was so long it was curling at the fringe so he went for a haircut. Now it looks like a helmet when blended in with his thick sideburns and eyebrows hahahaha :D

PLUS, he was laughing/scoffing at some guy with bangs just before his haircut and POOF, he ended up with bangs too! :D

hello helmet head!

Okay I need to take a nap I am so sleepy.

2011-01-11T15:48:00.000+08:00

Here is one thing I am going to do in 2011:

Very long ago, I got myself a cartilage piercing.........

........Which, for some reason, evolved into a MEATBALL )))):

Gross little thing in red )):

And so a MUST-DO on my 2011 list is to get it surgically removed because its is GROWING ):

hahaha I know this is very random.....

2010-12-31T04:12:00.000+08:00

Oh god I am so frustrated.

"Sometimes I think we'd do better as dandelion seeds, no family, no friends, no history, just floating off into the world, each on our own piece of fluff."

Hello folks, I'm back from Aussie!!!!!!!!!!! (:

Actually I'm a grumpy gnome now cus Aussie weather was so dry it made my skin scalyish and bad! Horrors! /: When I say dry, think crispy potato chips even when you have left them out in the open for hours. You totally don't have to bundle up your half-eaten bag of chips cus leaving them exposed to air doesnt even make them soggy! Plus, I didn't sweat a drop in my 10 days there! Sounds good eh? Actually dry air isn't half bad, I just really hate my low tolerance to weather and climate changes :(

Note to jx and fio: BRING LOADS OF MOISTURIZER! :D

Anw, I had a pretty good trip, first spending 5 days in Perth and then another 5 in Sydney! (: Perth was quite boring I feel, but we had a lovely apartment in Scarborough that overlooks the Indian Ocean, which was really really really pretty! I've never seen such a lovely sunset from my balcony, and also the clearest blue skies and deep blue waters! Plus, I've waddled in Indian Ocean water okay! Not sea, not river, not lake, not swimming pool but OCEAN! hahahahaha! *very proud*

Late sunset one day, completely unedited! Really wished I had a DSLR to capture this more vividly!

dad and mom (:

Family at our balcony

With the Indian Ocean behind me (:

Other highlights of Perth included the Caversham Wildlife Park, where we met adorable kangeroos (omg I want one!!!), lazy koalas and a fat wombat as well as Sand Boarding at the sand dunes in some obscure corner of Perth! (: Fun fun!

So cuteee! They remind me of moomoo and even gave me their paws! :D

See!! So KeWtzZ! (: But later I saw souvenir shops selling kangeroo paws and got damn freaked out! How can they do that!!?!?! FYI they sold kangeroo balls and scrotums too //: Lol I was actually tempted to buy one for ck to freak him out but that's sort of against my principles...

Aww I love kangeroos! (: Apparently, kangeroo mommies have a very short pregnancy of just one month, and when they give birth to the babies (called joeys), the little joeys are only the size of our thumb and do not have eyes or mouth or tails. All they have are two little "arms" which helps them to climb into their mommy's snug pouch, and that's where they will stay for the next 7 months until they grow up! So cute right!! I never knew that! lol! See, I really paid attention to the guide! :D

And that brown thing sitting there is the famous wombat of the park! hahaha it looks unbelievably lazy and contented and sooo resembled a brown pig! The guide said that its the park's big baby!

haha and a classic pic of a lazy, sleepy koala. Two fun facts I remb are 1) they are uber lazy creatures who sleep alllll day and 2) koalas do not drink water! They get their liquid intake from the leaves they chew.

Aww. They make good tree decos right!

The sand dunes in Perth looks just like snow, cus the sunlight reflecting off it made them look white. Very pretty! (: The sand felt good beneath bare feet too; its really fine and smooth unlike sentosa sand haha.

sand dunes for monster trucks to go up and dwn to scare the shit out of you :D My group driver didn't attempt very scary stunts though, probably cus there were some elderly people in the group. Sianzz!

Of cus must do jump shots in such a vast area :D

bro sand boarding down at top speed and sliding off his board haha

wheee its so fun!! but climbing up (so you can slide down) is effing tiring!!!

haha and that's about it for Perth! (which is why I say its boring) We visited the Pinnacles too, which was cool but just good for a short look around. Apparently many many limestone rocks just sprouted out of the ground one day and it soon became an attraction haha. Its hugeee with no end and I remb thinking what will happen if I'm lost in the vastness of it all. In fact, I was just wondering if there would be a mobile phone signal when my dad's hp rang very loudly in the midst of the desert hahaha. So confirmed, GOT. lol!

The markets at Fremantle were just so so and incredibly expensive, whilst seafood in Sydney beats Perth hands down (Sydney fish market is a must go!!). My family also drove down to a small town called Margaret River, which took agessssssss! I swear I was on the road more than I was taking in the sights of Perth that day. PLUS, by the time we reached there, it was like 4.30pm and everyone knocks off at 5pm in Perth (wth!) Perth is really sparse and hugeeeee, so it takes really long to travel from one place to another, and in my view, I think it sucks. On that fateful day, we also gt terribly lost at night and would have hit a kangeroo on Perth's rather dark highways if not for my bro, who emitted a high pitch shriek of warning so my dad braked in time. I thought it was quite exciting but my mom was damn freaked out haha!

Some touristy shots of Margeret River:

I'll prob blog abt Sydney another time (: I love Sydney and its like a Singapore with great cool weather actually, meaning it was a far cry from laid-back Perth. I've always thought that I'll love a laidback life in the country side with rolling hills and pastures but after gg to Perth, I realise that I've always been and will be a "city" kinda girl. I still prefer busy streets, lots of people walking around, lots of activity gg on and shops that open til late :)

And before I go, I need to talk about a roller coaster of good news and bad news:

Bad news first. On our flight back, Qantas freaking lost one of our luggage!!!!!!!!!!!!! All my clothes, make up, shoes, souvenirs, wine etc etc.......... Turns out our poor luggage got left behind in Sydney.

But comes the good news, they managed to track it down and retrieve it for us, even sending it to our doorstep at midnight last night.

And then the bad news again:

LOL WTF RIGHT! Have you ever seen such a badly injured luggage??? hahahaha.

XOXO.

2010-11-16T15:01:00.000+08:00

Aussie here I comeeeeeeeee! :)

I think there'll be minimal internet there so I'm going to be disconnected from my world for 9 days.

2010-11-14T17:35:00.000+08:00

((:

Okay, turning into the sappy teenager all over again!

I want to know the ending now now naooooooo!
-

Fat cat is still having exams and I'm bored to tears ): In fact, after I rot for a week at home, go to Aussie for another week and half and come back, he's still not done )): So there's no one to play/go out with me these days. depress max!

Hurry upppp slowpok :D

I'm feeling very useless bumming around after exams, hence here is a list of things that I'll strive to do:

1. Contine learning korean (anyone wants to take korean in nus next sem? :D)
2. Find internship for next summer
3. Cook
4. Unravel the mysteries behind how many mods I have left to clear to complete my degree (eh this is very confusing)
5. Read a few good books
6. Exercise (can imagine stupid ck giving the "yeah right" face lol)
7. Enjoy myself in Aussie and eat all the fruits I can possibly eat
8 Get a tan without getting skin cancer (hmm..)
9. Meet a Koala (:

Will add on/delete from the list accordingly hahaha!

Well, have a good holiday everyone! (:

And jiayou to all still having exams!!!!! <3

2010-11-05T18:46:00.000+08:00

It is taking ALL my willpower to keep on going with Corp Fin.

I need a magic incantation for automatic compilation of cheatsheets!!!!!!

2010-10-31T19:26:00.000+08:00

Some unexplained sadness
):

Count down: 9 days

2010-10-23T13:39:00.002+08:00

My fat cat really bought me an ipod touch for me 21st! :D

All the games are soooooooo addictive. I can really chop cucumbers all day lol.

2010-10-14T01:04:00.000+08:00

The history;

If time could stop,
how do I make this more poetic?
When there's nothing more pathetic to be said.

2010-10-03T20:21:00.000+08:00

feels just like it's heaven's touch

Oh man, the injured pigeon that we were nursing diedddddd ): I think it must have had some internal injury somewhere after getting attacked by the bad mimi! So poor thing!

The culprit.

I really think cats are too instinct-driven for their own good! I have heard of like so many cases where meowmeow cats committed a unreluctant sucide just to get their claws on an unlucky passing birdie /: Its damn tragic. Luckily I stay on the 2nd floor or else its gna be "byebye mimi" ):

Nonetheless, mimi is now comdemned to the hall of shame for being "The Bird Killer". haha. Moomoo is so much kinder in comparison! There was once he saw a bird trapped in the fence and he just stood there and wagged its tail at it until my dad saw and rescued the bird... If mimi had been there ah, it'll be like nomnomnom crunch crunch......

hahaha!

-
Anw, I had a really really incredible 21st this year (: I am so grateful for all the love and well wishes and I really wish to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart. *turns all emo* so here's a tribute to all my dearest friends, family and the boyf! (:

1. Surprise party at Macdonalds (I know right.. I must be their oldest bday girl!! haha!!)

haha this is jointly organised by my sistaaa, my cat and uni friends! (: They were good man, because I was totally and utterly unsuspecting....

ck told me we were to go collect sth that he bought from online (I thought he bought me the ipod touch hahahaha!!) and after that, we were supposed to visit the optician to make glasses together cus I lost mine! It was a perfectly reasonable thing to me so I really had no idea!

Which on hindsight, wasn't a very good thing, cus I was wearing v lokcok stuff and I didnt even comb my hair that morning cus I was late for project mtg /:

But it was really fun and sweet, seeing how everyone (all grown up) were in party hats and everything, forced to dance to silly music. Thanks so much guys! (:

And there's even part two! (: midatumn caleb in the park haha, complete with sparklers, mooncakes, lanterns, and lightsticks provided by my thoughtful cat! ((:

It was my first time playing with sparklers other than times when I was a kid! I don't remb them being sooo loud but apparently ck got those that whistle so its goes "pffffffffffffffffffffffttttttt" and then burst into flames! Very exciting! I had a really great time that day! (: oh and I love the wallet from Kate Spade too (: I really love the colour and I wanted to exchange for the bigger one of that style but its was oos!! ): So I got the one in black and cream.

To end off, look what I got in my Happy Meal! haha!

2. 2D1N with summer girls!

My ku summer gfs also celebrated my bday together with Wenyi at 2D1N, currently my favourite korean restaurant!! omg it was so good to see them again, and as we were walking to find the restuarant w leeven and xiangmin leading us, I really felt super nostalgic cus it reminded me of the times we were in korea, navigating to find our way (: Ahh I love you girls! (:

Yummy I super love the fatty pork wraps (: I dont usually take fatty meat but this is heavenly!!

haha they sang my bday song in korean yo! (: major love!! and I love the eyeshadow blend kit they got me from MAC (: thanks so much girls. Lets keep meeting up k! (: and congrats xm! She's a millionaire in korean won hahaha!

3. BFFs :)

You know, I actually can't remb how the three of us got to be such good friends......... (: but there is really nth I cannot confide in my bffs (: aww..

We must really think alike, because we ended up in matching attires that day! hahahaha! Damn weird lah...

Jx knew I've been wanting to try PS cafe for the longest time, so he got us a table there yay! And indeed, it was as good as he had always described! The ambience is great, the service is great and the food is great! (: oh and the cakes...!!!

flourless orange cake with warm caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream! heavenly!

I know this is definitely good by industry standards but I'm just no fan of it! hahaha!

Doesn't it look yummy? (:

I have to admit that this is my first atas bag unless you count the burberry one I got as a gift for interning haha!

see, I brought it out today! (:

and the set of russian dolls! the tiniest one is soooo cute!! :D

and to top it off,

A MIMI CARD!!!!!!!! hahahahahha! Got music somemore!!

We yakked til like 11 that evening like a bunch of very free and very rich aunties! (we wish) haha! Thanks for everything bffs! (: cheers to 3 years of friendship and with many many more years to come (:

4. SM people (:

Dinner at 2D1N again haha but I think this place is now Decki and Sylvia's nightmare cause they got lost and took about 1 hour + to find the place!! whoops! hahaha! Not many pictures for this cus I'm still waiting for them to be uploaded on fb (:

My yummy bday blueberry cheesecake, from Tom N Tom coffee, no less!! (: It might not sound familiar in singapore but its a pretty big coffee chain in Korea!! (:

They actually wrote messages on the box but I didnt know and tore it oops! hahaha!

(: so sweeet!

And they got me a super pretty watch as well omg! Damn touched lor (: Thanks so much guys!!

I love it! (:

5. Mushrooomieeee (:

lol! this is the only picture my photo-phobic friend and I took today! And guess who's the photographer.... ): haha! I dunno how you all take such perfect selfshots!!

Anw, Mushroom brought me to One Rochester for an atas brunch today. And now I know a new quaint eating placeeee to go (: There are quite a few restaurants here set in revamped old british houses, with indoor and alfresco dining (: very nice!

The set lunch was really reasonable too, like a main course, dessert and coffee/tea for abt 21++ (: and it was tasty!

Steak! (: sorry for the over-exposed picture haha!

and the heavenly lava choc cake (:

Thanks for the treat my dearest shrooooms ((: Gosh we're like friends for almost a decade!! We're so old already!! I love youuuu muchie! :))

Wow this is a really long-winded post! But there's more! I also want to thank everyone who wished me a happy birthday and for all the messages on fb etc :) they really made me smile! Thanks esp to lekchia for the surprise present (an x-mini yo!!) and to my cat's parent's too for their gift.

And lastly lastly, my parents who gave me a lovely necklace and $$ yay hahaha, my sistaa and brother, and the person whom I've thanked once but need to thank again: my boyf, the fat chankeet! :D I know you worked v hard to org my party and I accept partial responsibility if you fail all your midterms hahahahahaah! I love you (: Thanks for everything <3

2010-09-30T17:08:00.000+08:00

GUESS WHAT!?!?!?!?

Mimi (my cat) jumped out of my kitchen window yesterday to catch a pigeon!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And no, its not dead! (heng ah..)

But now I have an injured pigeon hospitalised in my backyard /: Say hello to croo-croo!!! (the noise pigeons make)

More about this exciting episode on Saturday! For now, its corp fin timeeeeee ):

I hate you, corp fin )

2010-09-10T04:59:00.000+08:00

oookay, so sheares chicken, no matter how tasty, isn't such a good idea for me. I absolutely cannot sleep with food in my stomach at night. So now its 4.46am and I'm wide awake!

cup noodles, cup noodles, cup noodles.

2010-09-08T01:15:00.000+08:00

I think sleep is the most important thing in life cus a bad night's rest is really detrimental for me.
And I can no longer survive on 5 hours of sleep a day. I die aft like 12pm and lose all signs of life haha.

I just rolled out of bed after a terrible nap that did little to refresh me. So imma big grumpy gnome now! RWARZX.

2010-09-01T01:41:00.000+08:00

Yawns, school has been a complete bitch /: I'm only taking four mods this sem and I am still so busy! I, in all honesty, dropped my fifth mod because I thought I'll treat myself to a slacker life this sem so I can focus on the other things that I want to do but no no, NUS doesn't allow for that! ): Thankfully I have my cat in school with me now, and he's actually studying alongside with me this sem (welcome to my life) :D Lunches + time with him weekly keeps me sane, plus the usual Tuesdays with bffs! (: hahaha! So far, I think we actually haven't missed a single Tuesday! (:

It was Fish n Co today at WCP and among us, we shared 1 X fried calamari, 1 X seafood platter for two and a NY fish n chips plus two free drinks thanks to Troy's Citibank card (: And guess what! At the same time, we also polished off ten little containers of garlic butter sauce //: I really think we are damn sick lor!! I swear while I was daintily dipping my fries and calamari in (heh) , Jx and Troy were pouring it down their throats.

The evidence:

lol yucks really.
I am still damn full now.

And to my cat, just wanna say "thank you" (: I know you've made sacrifices for me, and I want you to know that I really appreciate it (:

2010-08-26T00:36:00.001+08:00

I'm slowly slowly abandoning this blog haha! Really lazy to blog nowadays! I realise I usually think about my blog when I'm really happy/excited or really sad/depressed! I am so mean.

Anw, today is one of the days where I'm in really low spirits.. Communication is such a difficult thing. I dont know how selfish or selfless I can be, and I'm afraid of the consequences of what I do. There should be clear directions and road signs in my life. Do this, and this happens. Do that, and that happens. Then life will be so much easier.

I am so gloomy that even I find myself annoying. I should isolate myself from everyone until I find myself back haha...

2010-07-31T14:25:00.000+08:00

hello, hello hello

I finally got to sleep in today (: So freaking tired!! I had less than 4 hours of sleep in two days because on the first, I was rushing my assignments + presentation and on the second, we decided we had enough of Anam hall curfew and decided to just spend the entire night out. So shopping at Dongdaemun it was, followed by Kbox through the night. Damn fun!! (:

Can't believe I have just about one more week before I'm back in Singapore ): that's like 7 days! I am going to miss Korea and the life here damn badly. On the other hand, it has REALLY been a long time since I sniffed my smelly moomoo's fur! I can't wait to go back and chase after after my furry friends again!!!

Oh, one sucky thing now is that EXAMS are coming ): (like next wednesday can ?! I have 3 papers on the same day) I really need to mug for finance or I will die a terrible death! Sigh..

Okay, gotta go now! Bye!!

2010-07-20T21:07:00.002+08:00

Anneyong Haseyo! (:

Ah I'm back in my room early for once (: And I have time to put up a good long post! It's been a long time since I updated properly. So here goes:

Korea is really a very nice place and I'm loving it more and more. I love the girls that I always hang out with: (:

Here we are, doing some grocery shopping! I look damn auntie with the two huge pkts of seaweed kiaped under my armpit haha! But the seaweed here is really damn good!! I get a seaweed fix every night and my roomie thinks I'm really gross hahaha! But seaweed = healthy!!

Home-cooked dinner party last sunday, a spin off from grocery shopping!! Wenyi and Xiangmin volunteered to cook and started preparing dinner at 4!! So niceeee right!! The rest of us only went there to eat cus we all had mid terms the next day! Ooops! Thanks Mummies 1 and 2! :)

We had beef rib soup with meatballs, tomato ommelette, fried rice, pan-fried meatballs, luncheon meat and mushrooms!! (: Very feng fu lor!! (:

Cheers with yakult haha! :D (alchohol not allowed)

Yesterday I had my virgin try of Ginseng Chicken Soup, something that's really famous here! According to my roomie, yesteday is the hottest day of summer or sth and its a MUST to drink ginseng chicken soup! Very funny hor, koreans like to "yi du gong du"- on super hot days they own themselves with mega heaty stuff haha! I was abit worried that I'll nosebleed to death today but so far, nth happened to me yet :D

Queuing to go into the restaurant! Frm L-R: Roomieeeee, Ida's friend kei ying (I think) and Ida! (: all from HK! I think my canto has become damn zai now haha! I learnt a new word from roomie too! They have this slang word called "hehhhhh", which in their lingo means "damn free and slack"! lol! My roomie always go, "I am very heh!"

LOOK AT THE QUEUE!!! I have NEVER seen sooooo many people queuing outside a restaurant before! And if you think this is the end... you're wrong!! Turn the corner and...

...there's moreeee!! Mad right!! See those tiny people behind the black car on the right? That's where the queue was! Luckily it moved v fast though, cus the restaurant is mad biggg and a supposedly really famous one! (:

Inside the Ginseng chicken restaurant (: Look at how happy roomie is lol! Its the sit on the floor kind of traditonal restaurant and my legs were cramping like nobody's business!

We had one pot each! (: I thought it was just soup and chicken but I was wrong!

Tadah! The chicken's been stuffed with glutinous rice, together with chestnuts and one ginseng (: Not bad quite nice ((:

Hee hee the food really makes me happy (: I love their hot pot thingys too! Had this after school one day at a restaurant just outside KU called BIYA! haha! Free flow of hashbrowns leh! PLUS, the waiter there gave us free drinks, a discount, and kept helping us take pictures. The photos here is he take one lor!

Hot, steaming hotpot! They like to give maggi mee to go with the soup (: Yums!

Very helpful waiter and all of us! (:

Its very fun cus every meal is almost like an adventure! We all can't speak korean and communicating with sign language, pointing and role playing (most commonly as chickens, pigs and cows) is just fun lol! (and puzzling) The svc ppl are all very niceeee and fun! I think they secretly like to serve us and watch us make a fool out of ourselves.

OH! And I have to tell you all a sad story! One day, Liwen bought us to this somewhat old looking restaurant for dinner and when we walked in, it was like damn empty with just one couple at the corner so I was thinking it'll prob just be any regular korean food BUT omg, it turned out t be soooooo nice!!! They had the most fab side dishes, the best kimchi and the main course was damn homecooked and nice tooo!

I know the biscuits very off but do you see that pale yellow stick thingy at the top of the pic? That's like some raw potato thingy and it is damn heavenly!!! And its the first time I see such a side dish lor (: Damn special! Their tofu also had this god-like sauce over it and it was sooo delicious!!

And this hot pot beef stew thing! I didnt eat this cus I chose sth else off the menu and I super regret can!!

Okay but that not the main point!

Anw, the next day I was super gian to eat at this place again so I dragged everyone there and GUESS WHAT, its GONEEEE! Like gone!!! Can you believe it??? It just decided to undergo renovation over night and I'll be gone when its doneee!!! T.T

Damn sad can! ): Sigh.... Really damn sway lor! lol!

Okay end of sad story (:

I'm super happy now cus midterms are over (: I swear I almost died cus I only started studying on sunday, with 9 chapts of marketing and 6 for finance to mug for! haha! But yay I passed both :D Got a C+ for investment analysis (oops) and an A+ for svc mkt! The grading system is abit crazy can?! 70/100 is a C and >95 earns you an A+. Machiam primary school grading system. Then ath below 60 is a fail! O.O

There was a sale at faceshop today and look at the amount of nail polish I bought:

Only 500 won per bottle can!? That's like 60cents!!! :D The two bottles flanking the side cost abt 3000 wont so thats like $3+! Damn I could have bought 12 more bottles!

And must show off my laneige collection haha! I didn't realise that I bought soooo much! No wonder I am so broke ): Like really leh ): At the rate I'm gg I'll have to eat grass in my last week /:

This weekend I'll be gg to Busan with the girls for a 3d2n getaway! (: Can't wait!! I heard the beaches there are beautiful and there's a beeeeeeeeg seafood market to feast at!! Yay!

Til then! (: I do miss Singapore though, esp my family, my cat, moomoo and mimi and my friends! K that's like everybody alr lol! Super wistful can! And yess Mellie-wellieee, KU blocks MSN so I can't go online here unless I use ebuddy which really sucks! ): Add me on skype you all!! (:

2010-07-15T12:54:00.002+08:00

Bahh, korean test in about 2 hours time! But I'm heading for services marketing class soon!! On the bright side, we can leave class once we're done with the test! And I have a feeling I really won't take v long! :D

WARNING!!! Disgusting content ahead!!
Don't look if you're easily disgusted haha!

I have sth gross to show everyone:

Look at my weird allergy/rash!! ): very gross right! (this is my calf btw haha) Its freaking itchy lor!

My self diagnosis is the very dry weather cus along with the rash, my skin is like flaking as well ):

SOBS! I really think I need mittens cus I keep scratching my legs and there're like tiny scabs already ):

Rash rash, GO AWAY!!

HELLO HWEEE! I wish you're here to eat all the food with meee! (: I miss you guys!! (: I think when I return to sg I'll really miss korean food! I'm starting to REALLY loveee kimchi!! I buy kimchi back for you!

2010-07-14T19:23:00.001+08:00

Its MID-TERMS time )):

I'm holed up in my room, trying to study for the korean test tmr. haha. Feels ultra miserable lor! I don't feel like studying in the least. Esp since I'm not even mapping korean back haha.

Anw, I am very pissed cus I just found out that I could have mapped APB here! ): Instead I mapped svc mkt which is actually okay in NUS. Sigh! ):

Did I tell you all I love eating out in Korea? No svc charge, no gst and FREE unlimited, refillable side dishes and ice water <3 It makes the dining experience here so wonderful. Sporean restaurants are way too giam!! Water also wanna charge ):

I am having a weird rash on my arms and legs ): dammit! Its itchy like nobody's business! I haven't figured out if its the dry weather here or a new found allergy to alchocol or sth. I'm moulting like a worm ): sobs.... I need my prickly heat!! ):

hx: lol eh go fb see!! :D fb has killed all my motivations to blog cus I post all the photos up there already lol!

2010-07-06T12:55:00.000+08:00

Anneyong Haseyo! (:

Hello everyone!! (: Sorry for the lack of posts so far. In actual fact, I have so so sooo much to blog about, but havent found the time to sit down and write a decent post. Just some updates thus far though! Seoul has been wonderful and Korea University is such a beautiful beautiful building. It looks like an old english castle:

Can you believe that is a sch??? Nice right! Unfortunately, it is built on a bloody MOUNTAIN and getting around means slopes, stairs and MORE slopes and stairs. Seriously, it is damn bad! And I used to think NUS was the worse with all the stairs but KU is like a hundred times worse. Every night I have to hike up this 90 degree slope to get to my dorm //: haha okay not so kuazhang. Maybe like 40 degree.. SUCKS LOR!

The cat, my sis and zn flew to Korea together with me, so I've been spending my last two weeks travelling with them as a tourist! :D (and missing alot of lessons along the way) Korea is so fun!!! and everything is so new and interesting, right down to their flat, metal chopsticks. I really had alot of fun trying live wriggly octopus, feasting on gigantic crabs and korean bbq, and the nightly beer sessions!! I was really q sad to see them go ): Only yesterday did I shift in to my dorm and start my life as an exchange student :D haha! I finally got to spend some time with my roomie and shes fabulous ((: Med student from HK leh, dont play play! And on a sidenote, I HAVE ALOT OF WORK TO DO!!!! lol! Tht is not supposed to be the case! ):

Okay I have to head off for lesson again soon! I am having some weird rash and I got a feeling I've been drinking too much. Shit. I hope it goes away soon cus it looks kinda gross if you looks closely ):

Will post pictures sooon!! ((: CIAO!

GREETINGS FROM KOREA!! (:

I am turning into a major alchoholic. But the ice cold beer here is to die for!

2010-06-24T16:48:00.001+08:00

Sitting on my bed now, surrounded by one and a half month worth of luggage... everything feels a little surreal! In approximately five hours, I'll be jet setting off to Korea-- the land of guessing and pointing. (I still can't speak any korean other than hello, thank you and I love you) The subway map scares me and I heard each subway station has more than ten, even twenty, exits that lead to different places, and these stations are all huge! My mobile might die on me because Korea is so much more high tech and renders poor sg phones useless. I am a korean "millionaire" and might be robbed. My adventure is about to begin! :D

Don't laugh at me, but I am already homesick. I will miss my mummy and daddy, my sister, my litte bro and my two furry family members, moomoo and mimi! ): And my friends too! I can't believe I am gg to miss everyone's homecoming back from europe andall subsequent binges on chinese/spore food that I am sure will follow.

On the bright side, my garfield cat, my sis and her bf are all flying to korea with me. So much for being independent on exchange trips *grins*

TW/HK had been fabulous! (: Will blog more about it next time! Here's two un-touristy pictures first:

Welcome to Taiwan!!! (: (the watermelon is mad big and crazily heavy lor!!)

See you all in Korea! <3 Loveeee!

2010-06-13T12:04:00.001+08:00

TWO DAYS TO TAIWAN! (:

I am sooo excited!!! I can't wait to visit the toilet themed restaurant there! Its sooo cute, though admittedly a tad gross. I mean, curry in toilet bowls lehs Really look like ahem, LS. And shit-shaped ice cream in "squating toilets".

Look!

haha funny hor! :D

I heard we get to keep the urinals, in which drinks are served!

Will be back with lots and lots of pictures! (: Take care my friends!

2010-06-09T01:32:00.005+08:00

Find yourself in solitude.

"Who are you, I dare ask? Where are you? What are you doing, exactly? Why?
To find out I’ve a suggestion: quit work, take a leave of absence from work or school, and buy that one-way ticket to nowhere.
To travel alone is to find the answers you’ve been seeking and discover the questions to all your unfounded thoughts. It is your world. It is your adventure."

Feeling rather inspired after reading some articles and blogs on travelling alone. I have always been a more social person than not. Although I love having time for myself, like the idea of shopping alone and is happy to sit at a cafe by myself, people-watching and reading the day away, for the most part, I love having friends and company.

So although I obviously hope (okay, fervently pray) that I am going to have a bunch of cool friends in Korea, I resolve to have some time alone with myself in the foreign land, and learn to be a little more free spirited.

Dates with the cat (:

Look at ck all grown up now :D He has officially ditched his glasses for contacts!!

Enjoying some Gusstimo goodness! (: Me likes their green apple sorbet! But I still prefer Bravissimo.

And some regular pictures. I look like I'm missing my front tooth and there's ck proclaiming that his eyebrows are his best feature -.-

Dong Dae Mun's biggest fan! (:

After that we walked around Ion for the hundredth time (omg what do ppl do in spore???) before heading to Farrer Park! Ck was gg to bring me to the famous jian dao jian (scissors cut) curry rice!! :D I am not such a great fan of curry (unless its asam) but I've seen it on TV foodie shows so was quite keen to try also!

Tadah!! (I got this off Google cus I'm too lazy to upload frm my bb but it looks 99% the same-- stuff in a mess of curry :D)

Doesn't look like much right but it is GOOOOOD! (: even for a non-curry fan like me. See how generous they are with the sauce, such that every single thing is drenched in curry goodness :D I love their braised pork and pork cutlet!! Yums.

After dinner we went to walk around City Square mall at Farrer Park, which is for some reason, Spore's first eco mall. Cotton On was having a sale there so ck and I scouted around for cheapo deals and I got myself a casual denim vest for just $15!! So cheap! :D Ck bought himself 2 shirts (: Then having nth to do, we just cam-whored the rest of the night away!

Tee hee! (: It feels good to have all the time in the world to spend together! Muacks!

And must show off my bargain purchase again! lol!

-
Having run out of stuffs to do, we actually whiled our time away at the arcade yesterday, playing basketball, bishi bashi and racing. We also got ourselves a new friend!!!

Tadah!

This is no ordinary little stuff toy because... WE CAUGHT IT FROM THE CLAW MACHINEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D

The very first toy we successfully picked up :D I know its all small and sad but we jumped ten feet the air and shrieked in joy (maybe not so kuazhang) when we saw that we were successful!!! Definitely one of the most exhilarating moments of the day! :D I am grinning now as I recall our shocked reactions hahaha!

"The Claw" (: Just fyi, this little creature originated from Toy Story haha! Super lame one!

Ck forced me to watch Nightmare on Elm Street with him too //: I have stayed far away from horror/gore flicks since being frightened to death by the Exocism of Emily Rose in secondary three, where I was like haunted by scenes of it for weeks after the trauma in the cinema!!! /: So even though this film wasn't that scary, I still spent half the time with fingers in my eyes and the other half with my head under my jacket. AND I had nightmares about Freddy last night. Hrrumph!

Tmr is my sister's last two papers!!! I wish and pray that it'll all be alright and she will come home, all smiles, tomorrow (:

2010-06-04T00:09:00.000+08:00

Here's a piece of funny news: My dad recently got a letter of notification/warning from the police for making multiple prank calls to the station! HAHA! Can you imagine? My dad making prank calls!

Anw, the reason was because he always forgets to lock his blackberry and somehow, his phone then automatically dials 999 (?!) No one really knows why that happens. And hence, I have bestowed upon him the blackberry case that Mel gave me just three weeks ago (thank you!!!!) I must say, I was super touched cus she remembered that my bb case got stolen at west coast food centre and by some magic, she managed to get one more for me recently <3 so sweet right! But anw, I have to give it up to my Dad cus otherwise, he might be arrested soon! lol! He badly needs the "lock keyboard automatically once in holster" function.

(Mel, I hope you don't mind hor) :D

So anw, I had to get myself yet another hp pouch and I found one that I really, really like! :D AND AND, it fits my bb perfectly, though without the holster function ):

LOOK!

Its a Domokun!! (:

Definitely some resemblance there... :D

Cam whoring with domo while waiting for our movie! Ck complains that his face is v chubby so he purposely tilted his head upwards to disguise his fats :D *spills secret*

(:
-
The bad boyf has been ~~not bad at all~~ VERY NICE lately :D Yesterday, he got me a jacket from Everlast because he thought "it'll look good on me"! Wahhh, learn to "por" alr lor!!

Nice??

And he got me the cream cotton on wedges that I wanted too yay. Someone pls stop me from buying more shoes because even though my shoe rack is expanding like crazy, all I wear in the end is my havianahs -.-" I really like this pair though and its rather comfy! Not like my charles and keith one ):

Met Ben for dinner after that together with Wansu, my new friend gg to KU with me! haha! Ben actually spent a semester at KU to earn his Masters so he kindly drew us a map and gave us a crash course on Korean :D Wansu was very amused cus Ben's angmoh and thereee he is, teaching us Korean. Quite a funny sight.

Pages of our sacred manual.

And tag replies:

mel: HELLO THIS POST HAS YOU! <3 lol! And I was really surprised hor, but they did give me a choice mah so I consulted you!! You shld be honoured! :D

fio: Unfortunately, they aren't taking in interns anymoreeee! lol! eh not so ex lah I heard its only ard 300+?

ck: hahaha go cut lor!! But I'm disowning you aft that..... :D

2010-06-02T02:53:00.000+08:00

Major Damage!

I was "window shopping" online and ended up buying a cardigan, a dress, a jumpsuit and a top, all under an hour. I shld nvr have gone to f21.com ):

And now, I shall abstain from shopping until I get to TW/HK.

I have to, I have to, I have to *chants*

Angeline had a surprise for me today! She got me a......

...Good Luck carebear!!! (: haha so cuteeeeee right! I absolutely adore it! (: It has been quite a while since I received a stuffed toy and I felt the same glee today as I did as a kid when I saw my new friend :D

What's more, this is no ordinary plush toy! The care bear she gave me has in-built speakers omg!! I was so amazed! All I have to do is just plug in my ipod and there my care bear goes, beating out angsty rock songs and crooning ballads, while looking all cute and cuddly too!

haha I sound mad, don't I?

Ohkays, this was a really random post haha!

GOODNIGHT ALL! (:

And to Sergeant Iseiteh, you are fat, not me :D

2010-06-01T01:16:00.000+08:00

I ordered the plain, boring looking noodles once because it was on the one-for-one promotion. I remember thinking, "shit, it looks so sad" when the order arrived, speckled only with some herbs and chilli padi (and a bunch of seaweed on top). But after taking a mouthful, I am now deep deep deeply in love with aglio olio. How can sth so plain and minimalistic looking taste so good?!

Yums!

Lol I know that is really random but aglio olio is officially my new love. I really really like Pasta de Waraku's prawn and mushroom aglio olio. It is like, just mouth wateringly delicious. The fact that it doesn't look delicious makes it even more delicious when its delicious! If you know what I mean :D

Past few days have been fun! (: Other than almost daily outings with my cat (we will soon conquer the whole of sg, leaving us with no more places to go), there was a 75 outing (major love!!) and our dear WY's 21st (:

Guitar heroes, good food and great company! It was a really good catch up session! What are we gg to do without you when you go to Warwick yong!! We need your house!! lol! (and you of course....) :D

And my 2 besties throughout jc! (: happy bday soph!!

And a picture from Weiyan's 21st! (: Fellow lok cok woman wy looks so pretty that night! hee hee!

Lunching with Angeline tmr and then dinner with Yongster. I shall make good use of the time in the aftn to get what I need for Korea. Yawns.

2010-05-27T04:15:00.008+08:00

Hello wello mello! ((:

Today is a ground breaking day for me cause I finally, finally plucked up the courage to get my eyebrows shaped!! Despite all the nagging from my sis that my eyebrows look like shit (it looks alright to me what...), I stayed away from all the plucking action even when everyone got their eyebrows done during JC prom because (1) I can imagine how bad it hurts and (2) I am really scared that weird/bad plucking makes me look permanently shocked. haha. Dunno how to hide weird eyebrows lor..

So anw, I found the best place (through recommendations from many people) at FEP! (: Its like this really small shop with English style furniture, and they play the nicest, most soothing music. I was quite nervous though and almost tripped on my way into the shop haha. What an embarrassment. They took one look at me and asked, "First time here?". I dont know whether it was the fearful me or my bushy eyebrows that gave that away lol!

They seated me on a salon style kinda arm chair next and a nice lady just did all the work! She scrapped and plucked and yanked and trimmed but she was sooo good that it barely hurt!!! Is that amazing or what!? I swear I am only going back to them and no other (: I thought the end result was quite nice but ck said I look mildly shocked. lol!! I am actually very tempted to drag him there to get his brows plucked too hee hee hee! But then ck will lose his two signature caterpillar eyebrows and that will be so sad! I don't think I can get used to that!
Well, at least I've gotten over my phobia now! (:

I had a haircut at Artica too cus my long hair is finally getting to me!

/EDIT Yay to shorter hair! I look abt the same but I like how Juno (his name is so cool) layered it. My last proper hair cut was like ages ago so my hair has been totally shapeless. Hence the endless ponytails... In addition, I had a super bad trim a couple of weeks ago and he did his best to salvage it for me haha! In fact, he was downright shocked at the state of my hair and I was super paiseh. He asked me if the hairstylist hated me or sth and I was thinking "Oh god" I just can't confess that the trimmer is my MOM! hahahahahaha!

AND, I dyed my hair as well. hee hee hee. May want highlight it some day but I'm real poor ):

Ck is not to be outdone and he got a haircut too! He's been wanting a change of hairstyle and finally took the brave step to acheiving it! I thought it looked quite nice except for the fringe cus the lady decided to cut some weird taiwanese act-cute fringe for him hahahahah! And so ck went home to salvage it and TADAH! He is now AH WANG!!!!! :D lol!!!

Here's a picture of his side view:

Cool bo? :D But imagine it with ah wang fringe hahahaha! Don't worry you're still cute my cat! :D

Anw, he showed me this webpage with all the coolest mohawk style variations and I am amazed:

A bi-hawk hahaha!! Funny right! Two small mohawks!

Reverse mohawk. Ck, you shld try this! You'll be the coolest boy in town! :D

Shark Fin! I think this actually looks quite cool!

I knowwwww, "What the hell" right!!! LOL! This IS a type of mohawk! Its called Lazy Hawk: a typical Mohawk, except left unstyled, resting on the wearer's head.

Wow

And this is a faux hawk. Nice right! I nvr knew it had a name (:

tag replies
jx: hee hee hee! what are you using to watch!!!

bex: lol yeah I think I know but I not sure leh! Abit paiseh to go check hahahah like so cheapo!! Hope work is fineeeee <3

partney: Are you coming back yeettttttttttttt mugggyyyy (: there's a class outing tmr and I miss you!!!

2010-05-25T20:53:00.003+08:00

Hello peopleeeee!! (: Okay I've actually meant to blog for ages but I always get distracted by one thing or another! I've got like a few entries written on a few separate days but never completed. oops! :D

Nonetheless, I'm really enjoying my freedom but as always, I just KNOW I will look back in the future and wished I have done sth more productive with my time now. You know how when you're really busy, you'll start dreaming of having free time to do like this and that? I had like this long list of things to do lor, like to pack my room and clean and weird stuffs like that. But now that I'm so super free, I never ever get round to doing the things cus there's so many better things to do hahaha! You know, like watching all the past seasons of f.r.i.e.n.d.s. and laughing at the funny parts all over again :)

Okay, so backtracking to two weeks ago.......

...its byebye, Burberry!! (: Time really flies lor, without realising it, I have spent like half a year there! I'm doubtful how I actually survived the work and study! But I think 31st May will show that I didn't exactly survive too well (results coming out haha) Nonetheless, I'm really grateful for the opportunity to have worked for one of the top luxury retail industries in the world. I had fantastic colleagues, and the most fantastic boss from whom I learnt a lot (: Now I just hope she gives me a glowing testimonial hahaha.

Farewell lunch for me at some thai restaurant at Orchard Central. And that's all the people in my non apparel "department"! A mighty two people, excluding the lowly intern (me) haha! Yummies.

Found this on my desk on my last day, from Angeline! (: haha she say I'm her only xiao mei mei friend (-.- I'm like gg on 21 omg) and she had a hard time thinking of what to buy and finally settled on a handmade laptop case which she thought was "cute enough". lol!

That little creature is called "Mr Owlie". hahah so cute right! I felt like this great warm gush of affection for her cus she's been such a great friend and colleague (: Even if she gave me a little beansprout tht day I wld have been happy lor. She recently called me to say that all the staff just got some Burberry notebook and she secretly took for me also. Tell me how to not <3 her?? :D

And a token of appreciation from the company! I was totally not expecting it so it was a very pleasant surprise when Eileen from HR handed me a large burberry paper bag all tied up with a satin ribbon. I felt super rich that day, like I really bought sth huge from Burberry hahaha.

My dad says to pose with my "grad" gift. Moomoo obviously thinks its food, he kept on pestering me!

Yay to my new bag! Although it isnt all that eye-catching, its very roomy enough and sturdy. People who know me know that I always have alot of things to bring along w me somehow... so this is one bag that can contain all my essentials (:

And in case you're interested, here's how the inside looks like.

Met ck for dinner that night in celebration, and we tried this supposedly famous katsudon at Ion (: Did I mention that I forgot to put in my camera battery back in my camera when I brought it to office on my last day of work? ): So I didnt really take pics with my other colleagues cus it seemed a little weird to ask them to pose for my blackberry. I can be such a retard sigh...

Henceforth, the following katsu pictures are taken with my lousy bb camera:

Ck trying to be funny haha. Bunny teeth kinda suits him hor? :D

His katsudon set with freeflow pickles and miso soup, althought both taste abit weird. That egg like thing there is their potato and cheese croquette! Quite yummy! (:

And my chicken cutlet don with egg (: It doesnt look too unappetising lol but the cutlet was juicy and tender! I feel that their rice isn't tasty enough though so next time, I think I'll go for their katsu sandwiches to enjoy more katsu goodness. They look really really good! (:

Okay, I don't know why half of my entry abt wy (now back in singapore yay!) and our newton dinner is goneeee ): Anw, I am very happy that my bestie is back! <3 hurry come back, rest of you SEP people!! (:

Blogger is like all laggy now so til next time people! I am super looking forward to going TW/HK for mega shopping and eating trip and getting really excited abt my summer exchange to Korea too! :D Pls don't start war-ring now N and S Korea ): I still want to visit youuuu ):

2010-05-09T21:33:00.001+08:00

I realised that I didn't have a celebratory post to mark the end of the examinations so...
YAY! (: Exams are over!!!

*Fireworks*

haha abit late I know. I had my last paper on the 5th but didn't have time to let the happy news sink in cus the very next day, I was hauled off to the office again ): lol! Super sian! Luckily, the few of us still managed to celebrate our freedom at MIND cafe + tuck in to a hearty dim sum supper on Tuesday :D

dear people in Singapore haha (:

What's Mind Cafe without Pictionary? lol! Daniel unwisely declared that the "Airheads" (becks and mel) stand no chance against the "Geniuses" and......WE LOST!!! hahaha! Shit. We played Taboo as well and the most impt lesson I've learnt that day is not to partner Mel cus she is simply too fierce and will promptly scare any answer out of your head hahaha. Becks will know...

Dan also intro-ed us to this game which was super gan chiong! Play until my hands were all sweaty!

And one group pic (:

Supper time next! Dan drove us all to Swee Choon but it was CLOSED!! Omg you have no idea how sad I was cus I've been hearing the rest rave about it and of all days, it had to be closed on that night!! (Notice I have no more curfew *smug*) So off we wet to Geylang's 126 instead! (:

I thought the food was quite decent other than the shrivelled up xlb! I love the fried yam balls (when I usually hate yam), the fried prawn roll thingy and the cheong fun! (: The Dong Bo Rou was very nice too! Even though I'm not usually into the fatty sort of meat, I ate two slices of this cus it reallly kinda melts in your mouth! Daniel was q in love w it and devoured two plates along with ck haha..

I love the drinks that they have too! As you can see, its served in that kind of da-bao container, so cute right! I ordered the honey lemon with bits of jelly and it was shiokkkk! The setting was also q comfy and like Dan said, it felt like we were in HK lol!

Yesterday, ck and I went on a movie marathon for Iron Man 2 and Ip Man 2! (: I was superrrr looking forward to both movies and have been dying to watch since they were released. I thought Iron Man was just alright but IP MAN 2 was goooood!! I have a secret liking for chinese kungfu shows ((: When we were younger, my sis and I used to watch Jackie Chan's super old cantonese movies over and over again until we know the lines of all the villians haha.

Lunch at Astons before the movie! I had to devour my prime ribeye in under fifteen minutes cus otherwise, we will be late for our movie /:

My hair is getting long for the first time in my life! Abit feel like cutting it though..

And my cat haha! That's his Garfield-y smile! :D I wonder if he'll allow me to paint him orange one day and draw some stripes on him hahaha! Maybe Halloween ah!

Had time to grab a SB fix in between the two movies! (: ck ordered the new Espresso White Chip frap to try! It was alright but in all honesty, nth beats a cup of Java Chip.

Some usual camwhoring shots and ck acting cute in some old school pose haha

After catching Ip Man 2, it was dinner at Thai Express! (: I super love their phat thai can!!! Its the most delicious thing in the worlddddddd!!

Look at this plate of heavenly goodness! Def the place to run to when I crave spicy food. Omg I'm like drooling at the sight of this :D

Okay! I am off to get my all-versatile Mummy to help shave some length off my fringe cus I have a feeling that I'm dropping hair ahhh! Bye all!! (:

2010-04-30T15:35:00.009+08:00

Lady Gaga being really weird again.. But this video and song is strangely addictive, despite being sinister and downright insane haha! Me likes! :D

I love Fujitsu! My two-year-old lappie was cracking into two pieces at the hinge and they have kindly replaced my entire monitor for FREE! <3 Now my laptop is pretty pretty again ((((: People, those with spoiling laptops from Fujitsu, please get them serviced before your warranty ends!

Last paper on Tuesday 9am! I don't think I'm gg to do even decently this sem but strangely, I don't really care that much. My sister told me that working does this to people.. Suddenly, there are more "real" and impt things and plain old studying don't seem so impt anymore.. whoops. Tht's not good news..

Okay, back to learning how to play Bridge. I regret not picking it up in Hwa Chong where playing Bridge (and Chapteh) was our way of life........

2010-04-29T22:53:00.007+08:00

Last year, we had....

Mr. Weird Durian (:

Grocery shopping trips...

Glorious food...(that was when I discovered my secret talent thanks)

and more! (: (: (:

This year: We had dinner at Kopitiam, spent half an hour at Price Station trying to catch a cock eyed cookie monster, and didn't even get it! (Hmph!)

hahaha my poor cat! Blame it on the exams!! >:(

I promise I'll make it up to you <3

HAPPY TWENNY-FIRST BIRTHDAY DEAR!!! (:

2010-04-27T14:16:00.003+08:00

I HAVE BEEN OFFICIALLY KILLED AND THE MURDERER IS MACROECONS, CODE NAME BSP2001.

2010-04-21T12:35:00.003+08:00

Econs can get reeeeeaaaalllyyy boring....... The only thing that's keeping my eyes open is my canister of Mister Potato, which I'm devouring a little too quickly for my liking. Hahah! But did I ever mention how gooood they are? I think their chips aren't so oily, are a little bit thicker than most (which I like) and has a nice strong potato taste! They are super tasty toooo, and I found out why: Mister Potato is a product by MAMEEEE! And we all know that MAMEE seasoning is :D :D :D with just that slight hiccup that you may lose all your hair if you eat too much. Nonetheless, Mister Potato is just yummy! (:

Mel has kindly jotted down my entire backlog of webcasts one day, and I got inspired so I decided to keep a record. It looks kind of scary really...

Maths: 7
Econs: 5
Computing: 6
Total: 18
That was on Monday.

I have made some progress though, with the score now standing at:
Maths: 7
Econs: 4
Computing: 2
Total: 13

Oh gosh, I actually thought that I did quite alot but it doesn't look like much after all hor?! Shit. haha.

Thanks jayaxe! (:

/EDIT
SHIT, I forgot tt math lects are twice a week instead of once so that's 14 webcasts!! Ahhhh! lol!!

OmGzXZxZxZx!

2010-04-17T12:13:00.003+08:00

Feeling damn shag and I'm super looking forward to my study leave /: It came a bit too late though.. I think if I want to catch up and cover everything I don't have to sleep for the next week already haha...

My stomach has been feeling strange all day and my dark circles are gross /: boooooo I need some warm bed comfort right now!

*stifles yawn*

2010-04-10T19:55:00.005+08:00

Shit Moomoo just swallowed half of the pear core that I was letting him chew on!!!!!! I'm quite sure he is going to have to puke it out as there is no way such a huge thing will come out of his ass /: Ahhhh!! Is it my imagination or is he looking a little green?? )):

Siat super worried! /:

I have been feeling damnnnnn slack lately. So instead of going for Econs tutorial on Thurs, ck and I went to Botanic Gardens for brunch!! (: My colleague recently gave me a fun-shot type of holga camera that works well only with sufficient sunlight so we experimented with it that day :D

Its bloody hot that day and I was sweating profusely. Ck was totally dripping with sweat too! He sweats DAMN ALOT and I cld totally see drops of sweat falling from his brow and arms etc! Machiam like raining! That explains our gross hair haha. This camera takes 4 pictures in 0.2 seconds for as you can see, we didn't have the chance to move...

This is really funny I have no idea how we captured ck's huge nose instead hahahahaha

Very dark lorrrr!

And some random scenery shots.. (: Looks quite nice actually hee hee

At first I thought it was super pekcek not being able to see how the photo turns out immediately after it was taken but its quite fun too cus then, the pictures are kind of a surprise!! I wasted an entire roll of film on indoor photography though (was trying to capture Moo and Mi in action)

Moo has still not vomitted............. ):

Joan: hahahaha you just haven't seen me in a while lor my face is like a CIRCLE! ):
ZHUTING: MY DEAR GIRL hope you had a greeeeeat bday party!!! I'm going end of June! (:
Mel: ooooopsss............ (sorry!!!!) Yeah I'm super dead gg to die during recess week ))):

Work today is super slack though! (: I went shopping with my colleague at fareast during our lunch, then dabaoed back to office and ate for another hour. Shiokk (: She bought her polaroid to office too and we kept taking pictures haha. Now my wall is tacked with super ugly polariod photos of me ): Thts when I saw how roundddd my face is now omg! I am gg on a diet next week!

TGIF today!! (: Really don't feel like working! 6.30 hurry come!! Can't wait for the day to be over. At least there is dinner with the rest afterwards to look forward to.. (:

Troy the smart

Troy: I think your favourite cartoon character must be Hello Kitty!
Troy: Cus it has no nose..
Yueqi: ???
Yueqi: IT HAS NO MOUTH LAH!!!

LOL! What an ass!

I was looking at my calendar today and I realise that exams are less than a month away! Seriously, where did all the time go to?! /: I'm like suuuupppper behind in my school work (Read: 18 overdue webcasts from different modules). Consumer Behavior final project is sucking up all my time too. Can't think of another module that's more aptly named (CB!)

But the happy thing is that after the exams, three months of luxurious summer holidays begin! (: At the end of May, I'll bid goodbye to Burberry and its hello HK and TW! ((:

I've also impulsively signed up for Korea Summer Exchange at Korea U. Sadly though, becks isn't gg and hwee has pulled out so I'm going all aloneeee! Abit daunting but I'm excited all the same (: Just found out that two of my juniors from Crescent will be in Korea's Yonsei Uni as well so at least there'll be familiar faces somewhere! (: CK, my sis and ZN will also be going to K with me before sch starts to play! I feel about crazy but I'll be letting myself down if I don't at least go on an exchange programme once in my uni life...

So just one more month of shit before sunshine comes round again! (:

Some photos from SK's bday (:

I'm too lazy to upload photos from jojobobo's bday! I <3 her polaroid pictures!!

Anw, I saw this in Readers Digest and I think its super funny:

"Arguments with the wife that starts with "What do you mean by that?" never ends with "I understand what you mean now.""

2010-03-21T12:55:00.003+08:00

Yawnsss I'm seriously dozing off now in the quiet quiet library... zzzz

Am currently trying study for marketing while waiting for ck to knock off from work at 4pm hee hee. A maniacal force seems to have taken over the meow meow cat!! He's actually working on a Sunday..!! I feel kinda bad heh cus I know the reason is so he can earn more moolah and accompany me on my flight to Korea... (: Instead of taking the discounted Cathay Pacific flight (which I cannot take cus I'm staying there longer than a month), hes gna take the 3-month open ticket flight with me! And it costs alot more. (He helpfully calculates that it shld take him abt 30 hours of OT to earn the difference) Whoopsss! My noble bf #1! (: Deserves a few more rounds of chicken rice haha.

Yesterday was dear Joanne's 21st and I am now super inspired to have a 21st myself too!! Her venue is perfect I feel-- at OCC! ((: Last night I was telling Mel (party queen and voluntary party planner :D) and talking to her just made me even more excited!! She is like damn pro cus whatever I say, she'll be like.."Just to remind you hor if you do this blah blah blah..." or "No lah that won't work because..." LOL! Talk abt experience man! I'm just wondering what my parents will say.. I'm q sure they won't be too thrilled("aiyoh so mahfun..") lol! BUT I AM! :D Inwardly I'm alr planning my guest list and themes... :D

These few days I've been meeting alot of kind souls! Last night, my friends and I left Joanne's party really late so we missed the shuttle svc from OCC to the train station. And as we were walking out, this cab driver stopped and offered to send us to the station!! For free! He shrugged and said it was on his way anw! Omg damn nice can!! <3 Then today, I really needed a powerpoint to charge my laptop (which turned out not to be a good thing judging from what I've been doing for the past hour....) and this China guy came to me and told me he's leaving so I can take his place if I want. That's so nice also lor. I shall be nicer to C people from now on.

Okay its 1.30pm alr! Better get back to work! Damn I read like abt 5 pages of my tb so far shit shit shit. Tmr and Tuesday I have to report at B's warehouse at 7am for stocktaking.. *sobs silently*

2010-03-14T02:09:00.004+08:00

hello goodbye

Ck's friend has a Polaroid and took this picture of cat a couple of days ago! I really like how polaroid photos look- so old school-ish (: Look at ck's face lahhh he must be busy stuffing his face (they were bingeing on a Japanese buffet spread) when his friend called his name and snapped this candid hahaha! :D

Today Ck brought me to the Charles&Keith sale just opposite his workplace!! (: At first I was rather skeptical cus today's already the last day (confirm no more size 36/37) and the place is like sooooooo ulu (at Payar Lebar and not at the MRT station somemore, must take another bus!) so I didn't really feel like going! /: But I left the place with three pairs of new shoes!! *beams* Super happy!! Saw JiaHui at the busstop with ck haha! I asked him where Hwee was and he said Hweee didn't wanna go cus Hwee goes to sales only on first days! lol! Hard core ah hwee!!

Anw, ck sponsored me the shoes so I'm all sugared by him :D Thanks deeear <3 Next time got sale remb to tell me early hor! hahahahaha!

(I bet he's gonna keep quiet from today onwards)

"Girls only have one pair of feet, so why do they need so many shoes?"
hahahaha! This is such a funny question lor.. It's like asking why you need to have more than one shirt when you only have one body..

Anw, we then headed to Al Ameen stretch for Boon Tong Kee chicken rice!! (: Since he was so nice to me, I decided to treat him to dinner hee hee! Obviously he is still very bo hua hahaha but the BTK Chicken rice is damnnnn goood! ((: We ordered bloody alot again: a big plate of Chicken, Deep fried Beancurd with Thai Sauce (this is heavenlyyyyy), a large plate of beansprouts with salted fish (yummy!) and a plate of Chicken Rice each. Damnnnn full lah I almost died. I am still burping now at 2.30AM /: Argh... So disgusted with myself /:

Picture taken with my lousy BB camera doesn't do the food justice!

Went to Udders aft tht for ice cream (yeah, when I was full to bursting yucks) and we shared two scoops. I really cldn't take it so ck ate most of it haha. Then we headed homeee. I caused the both of us to miss one 66 home by insisting that we walk to the upstream busstop cause there was noisy construction at the downstream one but that turned out to be the last bus zzomgzxzx! So sway! Annoying ck kept reprimanding the poor meeeeee hmph ): haha! How I knowwwwww riiighhhtt.

So now I'm homeeeee. Feeling a tiny bit worried for my Maths test this Fri cus I know nothingggg! ): And tmr Mercedes Benz is holding some Formula1 race screening at their showroom and my Dad got us tickets (hee hee got free buffet) so half of tmr will be goneeeeeeee!

Okay better try to sleep now. Nights world! (:

2010-03-09T12:39:00.004+08:00

Today is a TUESDAY and I am actually at homeeee! Yay!! Never been so happy to be sick for the day! (: Now I'm all showered and clean, tucked in bed, and with an entire day in front of me to sleeeeeep and slack! :D PLUS NO SCH TMR!!! *BIG SMILE* I love elearning <3

Anw, I think I have an inflamed throat and fever all because of the buffet I binged on on Sunday with Boyf's family at Tung Lok seafood /: I think this is like one of the best buffets ever, cause its ala carte so everything comes out nice and fresh and hot!! (: The selection is super good too, with a mixture of chinese and japanese cuisine! Their cereal prawns are to-die-for and I was just like scooping spoonfuls of cereal into my mouth haha. Its really thatttt good! And I love all their desserts and vegetables and soups (:

Anw, I felt super gross after the buffet cus I really ate bloody alot so I'm secretly happy that my body is protesting which means I'll be on a nice and bland diet for the next few days! (:

Super behind in my school work again argh! And I think I'm gg to do very badly for my Econs midterms eiks. Work is all fine and I just counted!!

Approximately 26 more work-days and...

...its goodbye to my daily dose of Hermione! (:

And its off to KOREAAAAA! (:

2010-03-02T23:11:00.003+08:00

DING DONG! (:
Macdonald's breakfast delivered by my Garfielddd cat! ((:

<3

I haven't been studying at all these days after work!! GAHH! O.O The telly is eviiiil! ):

2010-02-28T17:29:00.004+08:00

Why do I tire of counting sheep?

Tmr my nightmare at work should end! //: I've been summoned to copy down alllll the barcode numbers of every single non-apparel item in the Burberry Ion store so they can track sales electronically. My god, its the most tedious thing ever, esp when the barcode tags are sometimes nowhere to be found /: They need more high technology pleaseee.

Hellloooo JX! :D hee hee! Man, you're right! I survived half the semester already!! Only another half to go! Same goes for my internship! (: Can't waiiiit! (:

I'm currently having a love affair with sneakers! I'm totally in loveee with this pair of vintage Everlast sneakers but they don't carry the design I want in my size anymore ))): I was super sadddd yesterday when I found out can! So I settled for something else sneaker-ish but not quite! Its super duper comfy!! (: Happy!!

Had a nice date with cat at our fav Pepperoni Pizzaria again! (: Their seafood pizza is love!! I like their mocktails too (: The XXL pizza they have is damn imba! :D

Okay! There's an Econs midterm this sat! /: Off I go to prepare my cheatsheet!

ITS SUNDAY AND I AM IN DEPRESSION AGAIN! (I know you are too! *pats*)

OH YA! (: I have one good news and one bad news! The good news is...Ck and I WON TOTO!!!! hahahaha! The bad news is... its a miserable 30 bucks! wahlaoo! But we are still exhilarated all the same :D lol!

2010-02-23T22:55:00.002+08:00

Cause I'd get a thousand hugs (:

Just an update, I've successfully outsourced the most sian part of my work hahaha! *beams* I feel so jian4 really! But to prepare the sheets ready for the pictures to be pasted up takes long enough /: I did it alll day and I'm only halfway along the women's collection. Havent even started on the Mens!! lol! I really wanna complete it sooon so I can get on to learn other stuff.

Chase you down until you love me;

Super no mood to study these days /: When I get home after work, I only have the strenghth to sit on the couch and watch tv :D Whoops! Guilt then gets the better of me so I sit down with my books for fifteen minutes and then Mr Sleepy comes wrestling with Mr Guilty and Mr Sleepy always wins so within like twenty mins I'm snugly tucked in bed again! Omg I am going to regret this can!!

You got to cry me out

As I am typing this post I am getting increasingly sleepy. I am in love with Pixie Lott's album! (: I likeeeee!

2010-02-23T10:45:00.003+08:00

HELLOOOO world!

(Fuck, tmr is only Wednesday!)

hahahaha! That TGIF is totally in my system now Mel!! All your fault!

Anw, I am damn annoyed by this very tedious project that I gotta do at work and hence I have a work-from-your-home job proposition of very free people out there who have nth to do. I basically need someone to help me print screen, cut and paste pictures of (Burberry products) into an Excel file (which I will send you). Its a super easy, no-brainer job but just rather time consuming (and got alot of pictures)! I'll pay the person $50 at the end of the cutting and pasting. Super easy money hor!! So anyone interested, msg me k! (: Only responsible people need apply hahahah! [ck, if no one wants to do this.. I am employing you whether you want it or not...:D]

Okay back to work! *sobs*

2010-02-21T20:45:00.015+08:00

FUN IN THE SUN!

Picnic with the clique was awesomeeeeee! (:

LO HEI! (: I only found out that day that there are designated phrases to say when combining the ingredients into one pile!! *gasps* Like when you pour the sauce you must say "Tian Tian Mi Mi!" Hahah! We obviously don't know the real ones so we had to make up our own along the way. Shit funny! :D

CAP 5 CAP 5!

It was a super sunny dayyyy! (: prettty!

And TEO WEI YAN came back to sg for cny!! YAY! (: (she is damn lucky lorrr go on exchange and still can come back for cny)

bestie (:

(:

Group shot! (: I like bex's face hahaha its so cute!

Mel is damn imba at jump shots.

The 5 dollar treee! (: Don't underestimate the seemingly short branch it is damn hard to climb up in dresses and skirts!!

Superrrr fun cannn! (: Love you alll!! <3

After the picnic, I met my fat cat (after his work) and we went to Newton for supper! I took circle line for the first time (!!!!) but it was just like any other NEL train (chey..) haha! Supper was shit sinful lah I am looking increasing prosperous (euphemism thanks). We had lala, kangkong, oyster egg and satay washed down with sugar cane! :D Shiokkkk! ((:

Anw I am super annoyed with the lala seller cus firsly, his lala was served in some starchy weird sauce and secondly, almost half (okay, like 7 of them!) of the clams were uhm, clammed shut lor! I wanted to complain to the uncle and guess what, as if he could read my mind, he came up to me and asked me "HOW IS IT, NICE?!" lol! But I chickened out and didn't scold him; just sort of pointed out abt the closed shells with a laugh and he laughed back (got the nerve!!) and asked me jokingly whether I want him to replace those for me. Of cus I say no righttt!

See!
And this was complelely unplanned for but as I scroll through my cam I realised we have the same expression /: haha!

Ck blacklisted the store by recording down in his Blackberry hahaha! So useful :D
-

Yest was a happy day out too! Ck and I had pepper lunch again (its my newest addiction) and then caught "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief".

Yummy!! Salmon with Chicken! Only $11.50! (:

Looking very happy!

haha funny dear!

We went to Vivo after the movie cus I wanted to get a pair of Everlast sneakers but they didn't carry the design I wanted.. Then it was Sushi Tei for dinner! (: Lazy to upload photos alr heh!

Okay shall go off now and continue with some work. I realisd with great regret that I sorta spent my recess week playing!! And now all the mid-terms are looming omg!

To end of this post, here's sth Mel showed me tdy:

My god, this is the most accurate thing ever. I think it is hilarious hahahahah!! I'm damn tempted to make this my phone wallpaper.

2010-02-17T00:09:00.004+08:00

Maybe its our first mistake, and maybe that's alright

Yay one entire week of holiday from me, for me! (: Its RECESS WEEK! Super duper early this semester!! The school is damn sneaky can, made this week the recess week to rob us of our public holidays /:

Anw, HAPPY CNY EVERYONE! lol! Look how festive I am! :D

Hope everyone is feeling damn rich now heh! I ammmm!! :D I won myself an additional 60+ ang bao from two days worth of Black Jack with my family! Every year we engage in some democratic fund transfer within the family and this year I am finally entitled to some receipt. Last few years I've always been the taxpayer lor! haha! Super happy! (:

Anddd.. we are finally going to have a clique outing tmr: Picnic at Bontanics! ((: Yayness! I'm in charged of getting everyone the pizza and then to journey across from the pizzaria to the big white gate, which is our meeting place. I really have no idea where this big white gate is so I think everyone is gg to end up with soggy pizza while I find my way for an hour or two haha. I'm super excited!! (:

Lastly, I'm thinking of closing down this blog because I want to switch to a more private space where I can really write about my thoughts and stuff without the risk of upsetting anyone or having to explain myself. Somehow I think it is getting increasingly difficult to confide in people-- even the ones closest to me, cus I feel that they will like judge me and make me feel like a very silly person /: lol! I also have some other issues that bothers me but I don't really dare to write here also.. Sigh!

But alternatively, I might just load this place up with photos whenever I feel like it and set up another space completely separate from here (: So this blog will be whine-free haha!

2010-02-10T18:17:00.002+08:00

Hello everyone! Sorry for the hiatus, but I just had like the MOST tiring three days of my life last Friday, Saturday and Sunday O.O It was the days of the Burberry sale, and I was helping out as part of the sales staff. Omg the working hours were crazy!! I was up at 8.30am every morning and the sale went on til 10pm everyday so I was on my feet allll day serving customers! And then after pack up and stuff, I get home at around midnight where another long day awaits me. SHIT TIRING!!! I swear my legs really felt like they were no longer there after the first day and I was thinking OMG I STILL FRIGGING HAVE TWO DAYS TO GOOOO! I wanted to cry lah! hahaha!

Thankfully, I made some really good friends there and they really made time pass alot faster (: There's Phyllis, also from NUS biz and KM whom I initially met at the warehouse and just found out he's from HC AND ALSO ck's CHS schmate and army friend (omg damn small world can!!), Aaron, Gerlyn, Calvin, Ryan etc etc (: Without their company throughout the days I will reeeealllyyyy dieeeee. So the three tiring days were really worth it for the new friendships formed (:

Finally had my weekly day of rest at home today (: I'm really supposed to be catching up on my schoolwork but I spent the day watching mobtv hahaha I can't believe how auntie I've become! Ck is working super long hours at SH and w him busy and me busy, we hardly have much time to meet ): TMR WILL BE THE DAY! (:

OH YEAH! We didn't get to eat the pizza that I was raving about in my last entry because the place was closed for renovation!!! SO SAD RIGHT )): But we had Mexican foood instead!! Yummy! Its exactly as I thought it would be- wraps, slightly spicy and lots of weird looking sauces! I was having alot of fun trying out all the bottles of sauces on our table. Some tasted damnnnnn bad though!!! I remb one of them tasted like sweat. hahahaha! Damn disgustingggg!

Handed in my mkt individual assignment tdy too and it feels so goood!! (: 20% down! Happy! I like my marketing group mates! May we have the best time working together! (:

Okay I shall reward myself with a day to slack today! (: Being busy is good because you really treasure the rest days more.

(OMG my Mom just asked me to go clean our sofa w the leather cleaner neooooooo!!) *runs away*

2010-02-04T14:17:00.003+08:00

Inching towards my happy completion (: But did I say before? The last 400m is always the hardest. I experienced that first hand during the Great Eastern 10k! Hahah!

Read something that I really like (:

I walked a mile with Pleasure;
She chatted all the way;
But left me none the wiser
For all she had to say.

I walked a mile with Sorrow,
And not a word said she;
But, oh! The things I learnt from her,
When Sorrow walked with me.

- Robert Browning Hamilton

Nice right (: Encounters with sorrow aren't always all bad.

Ck and I gg to try this eggciting new pizza place at Hillcrest today! The reviews look wonderfulllll! (: Someone even gave it a 10/10! Can't wait!! (:

2010-02-02T22:04:00.004+08:00

Got my first pay-check today yay! I'm $600 richer!! :D That's $5 per hour in case you're wondering. Lol! Super sad but I actually feel happy cause I now hold a CHEQUE in my hands muahahaa! And it feels sort of like a bonus (:

Abit worried now cus school barely started for a month and I'm falling behind already! I still have half an indiv assignment to go and a couple of backdated webcasts. Also some other commitments worrying me ): Sigh. I pray that I can tide through this. Will need to force my eyes open with toothpicks and finish up my work for tmr!

Aww. I need a plant like that (:

Super looking forward to CNY! HOLIDAYSSSSSS!!! (:

2010-01-30T13:52:00.005+08:00

Yawns! Am supposed to be working on my mkt indiv assignment but I am BOREDDD! So here I am, seating in the library studiously with my laptop but what I'm doing is BLOGGING. Hahah! Obviously getting out of my house to study because I can't concentrate at home is not an all workable solution, esp when my laptop is ard as well.

I just went outside to look see look see at the pasar malam and its like buzzling with activity and blasting CNY songs right outside the library. lol! Great location man -.- But its quite haps. I saw the pasar malam "shark's fin soup" that ck intro-ed to me yay!!! I totally fell in love with it aft he made me try it once and its so tasty that I willingly get deceive into buying haha. Don't judge me okay you all shld go try it too :D

Yest's warehouse experience at Burberry was quite cool. I met this other guy there working as a temp warehouse staff aft ORD (ck, your friend!)and he stated 2 observations that exactly mirror mine.

1. "Its not as glamourous as you think huh!". LOL! Can I say like TOTALLYY. Its like freaking dusty and there were like cardboard boxes everywhere containing stuff that looks like you can find in the pasar malam. But take a closer look and...

2. THE PRICE TAG ATTACHED IS UNBELIEVABLE!! We saw this like quite cui looking flowery chiffon dress for SGD6000!!! OMG! Is that REALLL??

I sneaked a few pictures of the warehouse and I'll upload it next time (: Also right, I knocked my head DAMNNNNNNNN HARDDDDDDDD into one of those metal clothes hanger and I wanted to die. DAMN PAIN LAH!!! Somemore I had to pretend nth happened when I conked into it so hard //: I think I turned green for a spilt second lor.

haha okay back to work! I have to get home before 5 to get chged for Mel-mel's (Meow Meow) IN THE LIMELIGHT (: She ironically, really hates cats haha!

2010-01-28T12:41:00.003+08:00

hahaha omg this picture is sooo cute (: I koped it from hx's awesomee photoblog ages ago and finally found out which folder jx stored them in after he exasperately cleaned up my messy desktop for the third time. *sheepish*

I webcamed with fat Troy yesterday and saw the Belgium streeeets!! How cool is that! (:

2010-01-27T22:07:00.004+08:00

Whew! A full day of school today! (: Surprisingly, I actually, actually, actually LOOK FORWARD to school now!! Hahah! Omg! Am I still me?!! But basically, I really look forward to school now cus its a reprieve from work! haha! Not that I don't like my work but a break from Excel and the walls of the office is always welcomed! (:

Work is getting busier cus Burberry is holding an off-site sale at Expo on the first weekend of February and there's like real lot of prep work! Friday will be my first time gg to the warehouse to help out with pricing! Anw, to the interested people, you all can drop by and perhaps look for some good bargains! (and look for me cus I'll be labouring as a packer I think!) lol! Coincidentally, Robinsons sale will be on during the same days so that's an additonal incentive!

Finally some photos at Timbre with the meow meow cat! (: I had a huge craving for their pizza so we braved the crazy flight of stairs to get to the Timbre at Mt Sophia. I like that branch cus its usually more quiet. It wasn't on that day though haha!!

My camera takes damn bad photos when there is little light.

Sucks right!

Had to take with flash (:

Buffalo wings!

And the choose-any-two-toppings pizza!

We eat damn alot right!! Omg ck is the reason I put on like, 5kg since JC! //: AND he complains I have a ~~fat~~ chubby face! ))): hee hee! But he's FAT TOO muahahaha!

Kidding, cat! (:

Anw I tried China Blue also cus I saw it under "Sweet Concoctions" and I LIKE IT!! I don't really like alcohol (even Magaritas are kinda bitter to me). I like my drinks more fruity and sweet. Honestly I think next time I should just like bring my own fruit juice la haha. The only thing I like about alcohol is the throat burning sensation they give but unfortunately, those kinds that are potent enough to give the sensation are the ones that taste the worse too //:

OKAY! I shall be off now! (: (Evil) Mel's 21st is this Saturdayyyyyyyyy! Omg what shld I wear?!

2010-01-21T20:34:00.003+08:00

YAY!! Finally a free day at homeee! Its a complete luxury to be able to sleep all day! (: Here's what I did the whole afternoon: I piled a mountain of pillows around me, hid myself under two cosy comforters, switched on the aircon, grabbed my fav book, and read until I fell asleep.. (: haha! I swear this is therapeutic!

I've also settled all my module stuffs at long last. It has been a complete headache trying to squeeze four modules into two school days but at least its done now. Now I just have to last 4 mths and try not to die :D

The lack of pictures on my blog kinda reflects how haps my life is now! haha! :D I haven't been going out much other than meeting my cat, some close friends for a quick lunch or dinner, or going for 21sts! (: I always look kinda haggard though so I'm putting camwhoring on hold now! lol! My eye bags look damn terrible and I don't even know why they are there cus I sleep at least 7 hours a day /:

Oh yeah, I'm damn depressed cus my Blackberry case got stolen at West Coast Market /: Turns out that way earlier before I discovered my loss, cat subconsciously saw this guy coming to the table beside us and this sly guy dropped his keys. Then when he picked up them, he also picked up sth else- which ck guessed was my case. Wahlao. Case also wanna steal. I'm damn pissed lah. They don't sell the case anywhere else and all those I saw in the stores are damn ugly. Sigh!

Super happy that its Friday tmr! (: Will be meeting bff Troy for lunch before he flies off to Belgium ): Mannn, I hate goodbyes.

Okay I shall head down for a quick run. Have a great weekend folks! (:

Oh yes, and thanks everyone for their concern! Thanks fiooo ((: much loveee!

2010-01-17T23:06:00.003+08:00

I will survive.

Today I learnt that it really helps to talk about your problems, and it really helps to turn on the tap and let out some pent up frustration. I've been keeping alot of things inside, silently trying to figure out my next move, and its really eating me up inside. I just kept hitting brick walls, until I feel myself losing sense of my direction, and that made me feel even worse. Quota filled, it's policy, I'm sorry. I know brick walls are there to show us how badly we want something, but I'm really tired of going against it.

Nonetheless, I feel alot better now after some company, a few big hugs and a healthy dose of advice from my cat. Sometimes I really don't know what I'll do without him and his TLC. Thanks dear ((:

I'm still abit confused as to what to do now. I'm not sure what I will wake up to tmr, but probably that same sinking feeling that I feel even when I sleep. I really hope that, as my sister says, I will find that things all fall nicely into place tmr. I don't know whether I will be going ahead with this work and study thing. But cat is right, both outcomes will be good for me. I have nth to fear, and nth to be worried about. I will just have to play the cards as they are dealt to me.

Work tmr! (: I love Monday mornings because they are so busy and time flies.

2010-01-14T19:58:00.002+08:00

The rocket semester begins now!!

This is probably my last post before I go insane! haha. Two-oh-one-oh marks my first attempt to juggle both work and study! I'm a little apprehensive and worried, especially about the time when the projects and what not start pouring in and everything starts to demand my time and attention, but on the other hand, I'm also kinda looking forward to the challenge (: I'm going to need aloooot of luck and grit!

Here's sth inspiring that I like to read every day. I got to know it from the seminar I attended with cat, and I love it (:

"This is the beginning of a new day
God has given me this day to use it as I will.
I can waste it, or use it for good.
What I do today is very important because
I am exchanging a day of a life for it.
When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever,
leaving sth in its place that I have traded it for.
I want it to be gain not loss, good not evil,
success not failure,
in order for me to never forget
the price I have paid for it"

This was sth that a world-class coach for American football read every single day off a piece of paper he kept in the back of his jeans pocket! I think its a good way to start off the day (: It makes a lot of sense!

Hokay! (: Work has been quite fun and I rather enjoy my job scope (: Now I'm doing some market research on Gucci and Prada. My boss gives me quite a free rein on how I wanna do it, so its quite flexible! Only thing is that its a lil lonely with my intern friend now goneee! So, ask me out to lunch when you're in town people! :D

I hope my appeal gets through tmr. I seem to spend everyday wishing for sth to take place. I feel so out of control /:

Mushroom made my day tday by popping by for lunch suddenly! (: We had lunch at Coffee Club and shared the most delicious mud pie as dessert. It was HUGEEEE and frigging satisfying I tell you! I went back to work much happier :DD hee hee!

I've missed school! (: I'm sooo glad to have Becky, Hweee, Dan and Mel! <3

Dear -

Please please please do bend the rules a little in my favour. I will be eternally grateful, like really really ):

I just wanna say how happy I am to have my friends and family, whom I can always depend on to cheer me up when I am down and to offer me advice and encouragement whenever I need them. Thank you so so much (:

2010-01-04T00:13:00.003+08:00

I need some sunshine

Feeling rather shitty today, as if something is troubling me but I can't place a finger on what it is /: I feel like I'm about to lose something dear to me ): I hope that's not true.

2010-01-03T12:39:00.003+08:00

GOODBYE 2009, HELLO 2010!! (:

Ah time fliessss! I'm not sad about the end of 2009, but I'm extremely depressed about the end of my four glorious days of holidays!! Work on Monday againnnnn sighzxzx! lol! Okay I shouldn't be like this! I love my work!! <3

Work has been quite alright actually! (: I'm learning how to generate meaningful reports from a whole ton of omgwthbbqzxzx data that comes in weekly, and I realise that a retail store don't not just bring in items from the next season and start selling. They have an ENTIRE team of people doing all these reports to monitor topsellers and sales in different functions of the company to keep track of what turnsover the fastest. Here's a fun fact of Burberry: They are the pioneers of the Trenchcoat!! And these coats were originally developed for and worn by British officials in the past, hence the military feel :D In fact, most of the stuff on the trenchcoat used to be functional, whether to secure the soldier's berets or to cushion their body from the recoil of their rifle.

Hermione is sooooooo pretty! I'm like staring at her poster everyday in office :D

ALSO ALSO, I got myself my Blackberry Bold at lasttt! ((: Omg I am sooo in love with it, its so pretty! The keys are a tad bit small so I sms like a snail but other than that, I think its the best phone in the world aft my trusty K750i :D

K I'm off to eat my lunch! (: Will blog more about Lekchia's 21st when I get more pictures from Simonnnnn! (:

2009-12-28T00:11:00.007+08:00

santa baby

Tmr (or rather today) is my first day of work! (: Am a little nervous but also rather excited. I wonder what my colleagues are like? I wonder what the culture at the company is like? I wonder what my boss is like! So many questions! I will get them all answered tmr (:

Wish me luck everyone! (:

Meanwhile, here are some photos from Xmas party at Mel's lovely house!

happy! (:

FOOOOOD! I love bff's lala and aglio olio, the meatballs and chicken, mel's sheperds pieee, osk's heavenly resturant standard MUSHROOM SOUP OH YEAHHH and hweeee's mushroom cheese and everything everthing omg so hungry now

the guys like white I think haha!

I am joan's secret santa! (: Hope you like your present joannn! (: Will miss you when you're in Sweden T.T

my present from secret santa! (: She claims in her note to me that she likes me because I am full of shit. Thanks Mel! lol!

Yay pretty earrings! (:

Okay I better go sleep now I need to be awake, alert and smart tmr! (:

2009-12-24T23:46:00.007+08:00

my love will get you home

Today I just kept thinking, "omg I'm starting work next week!!" Feeling a bit sheepish now cus I kinda proclaimed that I am very familiar with Excel during the interview haha!! That's not exactly true... Will definitely need to do some ahem, homework before reporting to work on Monday. I hope I get staff discounts too fio!!!

I am super excited also because I am FINALLY going to get my new phone- a BlackBerry! (: My K750 has served me well for a whole five years now and I really SUPER love it but its falling apart! ): The camera has long stopped working, the control stick is sometimes wonky and two of the keys remain on the key pad only with double sided tape. So yay to a new phone! (: Ck is gna get one too so we can bbm each other and save our exploding phone bill. haha.

I can't believe another year is ending. Time really flies. I remb from the seminar one of the speakers said, "If you're not grateful for what you have now, you will never get what you want". I just wanna say that I am so grateful for everything I have in my life.

My family (:

My pets and best companions (:

The bad boyfriend (:

and the friends! (:

omg this photo is so ancient!

(:
Thank you for being in my life, you you and YOU! (: Love!

2009-12-24T00:52:00.004+08:00

Everyone, meet Gilbert! (:

Isn't it adorable!!! (:

It's ck's new pet hamster and our new baby! Super cute righttt! I think it looks alot like Ratatouille! :D We both thought it had a "gilbert" face so we named it Gilbert but later on, we suddenly rembed that the shopkeeper told us its a little girl. Whoops! Maybe we ought to change it to Gillian... lol!

Anw, Gilbert is extremelyyyyy naughty and it's very lucky that ck is a doting father/owner! haha!

<3 Gilbert (the name stucked)
-

Xmas potluck at Mel's place with the people was soooo fabulous!! (: FULL STRENGTH TDY!! Mel's house is beautiful, the food was fantastic, and the company was even better!! (: I feel soo so happy tonight. I kept thinking, I am so going to miss all of them when they go away on Exchange ):

Gift exchange was really fun too and my secret Santa was Mel herself! She got me a pair of really really pretty f21 earrings! For my future Cleopatra get-up. Eh Mel, make your bday theme like Egypt or Grecian or sth leh! :D

Shall blog about it when the pictures arrive! *Looks at Mel....*

Lastly, the one big thing that made me really happy today is that I've taken my very first step to make staying in Singapore worthwhile:

I landed a 6-month internship at Burberry after an interview with them today!! (:

Yay! Really really happy! I think it is going to be a fulfilling experience and its such a great chance to discover the luxury retail industry at such close proximity. Its actally a really big decision because it means delaying my graduation but I'm still working out the details now (: If all goes well I'll still get to head to school for a couple of modules to spend time with my friends and work towards my graduation.

Many things to think abt now! I need all the luck I can have!

2009-12-20T21:42:00.003+08:00

Hellooooooo everybody! (: I am back again after four long days of attending the Wealth Mastery course by Anthony Robbins. I think I learnt quite a fair bit from it, both financially as well as mindset-ish (: But ck and I were totally displaying un-motivated behavior by turning up LATE all four days of the course! HAHAH! We actually wake up early every morning (in time for the course), call each other, convince each other that we wouldn't miss much in the morning anyway, and then go back to sleep -.- Looks like the course didn't do much to us as YET :D

But you see, I have a theory. The course goes on from 8am (YES, AT EXPO) and ends at between 10 to 11pm. That is pardon my french, fucking long!! So if we force ourselves to wake up early in the morning, we'll be sleepy and dying by 4pm. That makes the last 5 hours UNPRODUCTIVE! If I just miss 2 hours in the morning by sleeping that bit more, I am productive through out the day! Makes sense? :D I love my theory!

Anw, instead of going on and on about the course, I shall just share one investment-ish quote that I think is quite cute! haha!

"Risk is a four-letter word ending with K"!

Hahah! Funny right! Risk is the enemy of all investors!

Some photos from Becky's bday at New Asia Bar! (:

With the birthday girl! (:

I'm looking like a ghost/vampire without makeup. That is not good news.

YAY! (: Favourite friends! (:

Fat cat with his long dimple hahaha

Now I know why my friends keep saying my head is big, because it IS! )):

2009-12-16T00:26:00.003+08:00

Discovered the place of the lifetime- New Asia Bar! (:

Gosh, the place is beautiful! ((: I am soooo in love with the view and the place as a whole. Coupled with great company in celebration of Becky's bday, I had a wonderful evening (:

Spent the day shopping with Weiyan and Chankeet! The 4-storey f21 at 313@Sommerset is LOVE! <3 I wanna shop and shop and shop! (: Luckily I am attending the WEALTH mastery course tmr with my cat which can hopefully help me to manage my finances better! :D Unfortunately for me, my bank account is starting to look rather sorry for itself.

I had a manicure done too! The last time I did them was during my jc prom hahaha. I am soooo lok cok. My nails are now a bloody red and I like them although I had the full intention of having them in a deep violet. Too bad they did not have the colour I wanted /: The manicurists were rather lousy and they filed my nails crooked.

I'm feeling a little tipsy now after two glasses of champange. The fourteen of us opened three bottles of champange at New Asia Bar. It was sooooo fab (:

I love my friends and I've missed them. Somehow we did not organise many outings this hols and I'll be missing the one on Thursday. Can't wait for our X'mas party at Mel's place on the 23rd (:

I'm praying hard to hear from B soon (: Call me tmr, will you?

Goodnight people (:

2009-12-15T00:30:00.001+08:00

Awwwwwwwww *heart melt*

ck is thinking of getting a pair of hammies! yay!! I'm so happy! Now I just hope Auntie Mak will allow him to :D

2009-12-12T20:49:00.002+08:00

Does anyone know where to buy stir-ups leggings? (:

2009-12-12T01:06:00.018+08:00

Wishes do not just come true
-

Been feeling extremely lazy with my too-good life now (: I'm totally spending all my time watching "Together" on mobtv when I'm not out! hahaha! Blame ck for getting it for me and now I'm all couch potato-ey! Anw, I think I'm putting on weightttt!! My face is all chubby and round! Oh noooooooo ):

So, some updates on what I've been up to!

1) I've withdrawn from SEP, confirmed. I'm a little bit sad about missing this opportunity, but I took a really long time to make this decision alongside with many parties, so now that I've really finalised it, all I can do is to make sure I have no regrets (: I will make this semester a worthwhile one.

2) Pulau Ubin trip with cat last week was super fun except for the mosquitoes! /: I swear mozzies love ck and there were like, this swarm of mozzies following him like flies to smelly socks!! haha! I'm proud to say that we smacked and flattened at least ten of those little irritants! :D

The best part of the trip was our new found friend, Cat! (named aft the cat in Breakfast at Tiffany's). What an extremely creative name. haha

So cute right! I gave it some biscuits and it just kept trotting and following us! :D I know, I'm acting like some crazy cat lady, feeding strays whenever I go /:

ck puzzled by how much he and his new found friend look alike..

aww cuteeee (:

Oh man, I miss it soo! Unfortunately it got distracted by some guys who were fawning over it and it trotted after them instead! ck vehemently dissed cats and their materialistic ways aft that. (He forgot he's also one haha)

More random ubin pics!

Look at ck's angelic smile hahaha

FUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN! ((:

3) BFF outing!
With fat Troy around, what's better than a buffet to fill up his bottomless pit of a stomach?

SOOO, it was Kuishinbo for the three of us on a sunny Thursday afternoon! The jap spread was alright (sashimi and teppanyaki!!) but not mind-blowing fantastic. And there was no dong dong dong one two three at all!! Cheat my feelings! Nonetheless, I really enjoyed the company of my two best guy buddies! ((:

After that, we chilled at Coffeebean to engage in some interllectual discussions about life and world peace. haha. Just kidding :D We yakked like old, happy and very free aunties! lol! Troy displayed extra auntie behavior by buying 2 cakes that were going at half price. Auntie jx followed suit. I was still DAMN full from the buffet and I dunno how in the world they can eat another two cakes!! Where did all the food in their stomach go!?!

Half price cakes after 5pm! SUPER GOOD DEAL! :D

<3 bffs! (:

4) Siblings day out! ((:
Went kbox with my sister and brother! It was the first time my bro tagged along and.....
my sis and I almost turned deaf!! ////:

Our brave brother attempted songs like Grace Kelly by Mika and Bad by MJ. Helloooooooo! T.T We applaud his courage but......... :D

Anw, to give him his due, as he moved on to safer tunes like secondhand serenade, he started to sound less like a screeching eagle and more human. lol!! Damn funny lah sometimes I can't believe my little brother is so big now! Even taller than me!

The Star -.-

It was super good fun!! :D Dinner at Astons next!

Yums! (:

Act cool shit of a brother! lol! Looking like he's jabbing my nose wahlao

round face sister with bangs haha!

5) Sentosa with cat! (:

We went tanning today cus its such good weather BUT after slapping on lots of suntan lotion on us, it seemed to shield off most of the rays so we're still about the same colour now ): Utter depress!!!

fat face ahhhhh!

can you spot the dog? (:

We left Sentosa around evening and headed for dinner at Kim Gary! The food is quite yummy! (:

meow meow!

ck's cheesy baked rice! Very niceeee and super alot of cheese! And its so cute, served in a dimsum thingy (:

my hot plate grilled chicken chop! Yums!

ck's artistic shot of our iced milk tea haha

I was super full cus ck kept giving me spoonful aft spoonful of his cheesy baked rice! I think its his fault that I'm all fat now haha! He slyly gives me a portion of his food all the time so that he can become skinnier.. Damn evil! :D

We then spent hoursss shopping at PET SAFARI! (: I saw the cutest baby pom and I'm trying to psycho ck to buy the breed but he thinks its furry and useless. Hmph! But being pet-less and lonely (his mom isn't a big fan of dogs), he ALMOST settled for a hamster today lol! But didn't lahhh. I bought treats for Mimi and Moomoo too! (:

Oh yeah, the xmas tree at Vivo is hugeeee! Here we are, looking really stupid w it lol!

K that's about it! :D Finally put up most of the photos in my cam. I kinda blogged according to the pictures in my cam lol.

What a long blog post! I also met up with Mushrooomiee as well as nana banana kl during this period! (: No photos though cus I didn't bring camera that day ): It was sooo good to see them!! Mushroomie will be graduating from nus soon omg so fast! and kl will be in Switzerland with fio and jx next sem! How cool is that!! Hope you all have funnnnnn! ((:

Okay off I go now, feeling kinda hungry! Bye folks! Enjoy your holidays! ((:

2009-11-29T23:21:00.004+08:00

"At least you can have a foreign friend even if you don't study in a foreign country"

This was what a friend from the States told me today when I told him about the possibility of not being able to go to Sweden for exchange.. Ah well, I thought it was a simple yet comforting gesture.. Thanks Ben! (:

The whole exchange thing is now just stuck in the middle of no where. I do not know for sure the outcome of my mapping, so I am unable to get myself to withdraw once and for all and finalise my decision..

So right now, my only action is to procrastinate more /: Which annoys me tremendously! //:

-
Today, my cat accompanied me to TP to do all my shopping for groceries and such! Hahah! Shampoo, conditioner, tanning oil, facial scrub, make up remover and the likes! :D Thanks dear! Sorry I made you walked like 10000000 rounds around Watsons looking for my desired make-up remover! lol!! :D

Really happy that I got all my stuffs plus I got my contact lens replaced too! Lousy optician gave me the wrong degree the last time, causing me to be like half blind for a super long time. Hmph!

So many things I wanna do! I wanna paint my nails, cut my hair, dye my hair, exercise more and get a tan! Yippee! Holidays!! (:

I am thinking of picking up a language for real- inspiration from bffs Jayaxe and Troy. What should I learn? (:

2009-11-28T00:19:00.004+08:00

A NERD NO MOREEEEEE!

I have a lifeeeeee againnnnnnnnn! (:

<3

Garf and I went for Astons PRIME today for my very very belated birthday treat! Can you believe it, I have been busy with school and projects since late September /:

Guess what this is!!

No, its not a time machine! It's..... home to the biggest, juiciest slab of beef everrr!!! ck and I were totally gaping at the chef when he opened the silver lid and started sawing a thick piece of steak from the slab. Sadly, we were so stunned that we did not think to take a picture ): hahaha!

Anw, the waitress saw both of us gaping at it (omg so paiseh) so she came over and told us its the HOUSE CUT! :D And the beef has been marinated in red wine for the past 36 hours!! OMFGWTHBBQ! That sounds heavenly or what! Of course, that became my DINNER! :D

LOOK HOW GIGANTIC IT IS! All 250g of beeeef!! Seeing that I had cheesy macaroni and a baked potato as my side dishes, of course I died halfway eating the steak even though it was so so good! Frigging filling lah! So I packed the rest home hahahaha. I think Mel will like the cheesy macaroni cus it is super GELAT. Like super super super! I thought of her as I was eating it cus I remb her raving about Kenny Roger's one in a super excited way..

And ck's King Salmon Steak! (: Garfield cat likes fish hee hee! Also quite nice! (:

Happy us! (:

We also did a bit of shopping throughout the day! ck bought me a new chain from SK jewellery cus the necklace he gave me the last time broke ): Thanks deear! (:

I finally got myself a decent one piece swimming costume from Arena too! :D I've always thought swimming in two-piece is just plain weird! Like cannot swim properly! Two piece is stictly for tanning! haha! Garf got himself a matching pair of swimming trunks too LOL!! So funny! Tmr we're going swimming together! (((:

Yay! (:

2009-11-25T03:01:00.002+08:00

One more downnnnnnn! (: Two more to goooo!

Finance was really frigging screwed though ): I was all depressed about it but given the tirade of upcoming papers, I don't even have the chance to mourn over it. Sighh. To think I thought that was my most confident paper- it being open book and all, but the closeness of all my papers really took a tow on me. Sigh.. Lesson learnt: I must choose and plan my examination dates wisely next time!! And not have them on conseutive days with PM AM papers next to each other.

Paper tmr again at 5pm and the following day at 1pm /:

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! Yay!

2009-11-21T21:53:00.002+08:00

Yipppeeee! One paper down! (:

I'm slowly marching towards the climax of exam period, towards the 3 killer papers in a row! T.T

BUT..BOOM! :D It'll be FREEDOM thereafter!

I have something awful to confess/acknowledge and that is, I AM EXTREMELY EXAM PHOBIC. Omg, I can't believe it myself. I mean, isn't my life fraught enough with exams that I really should be immune by now? But I'm not ):

Because of that, I always can't get to sleep before my first paper, regardless of how prepared or how tired of preparing I am /: I got into bed at 1am and I was still lossing and turning at 3.30am. So I got up for a hot drink and to read my Harry Potter book to take my mind off exams. And then I fell into a fitful sleep from 4 plus to 5 plus, dreaming of the marriange between AIS and MA. Like seriously the stuff I learn about each just started to blend with each other, and obviously it made no sense!! //: What a nightmare!

And so, I got up at 6.30 feeling like I've been run over by a bus.

Nonetheless, the horror of the first paper is over! ((:

FINANCE FTW!

2009-11-19T22:53:00.003+08:00

One dayyy to the start of my end! lol! Every day I am haunted with such negative thoughts ): So unhealthyyy! Last night I was dreaming of managerial accounting and the variances that I can't understand. Woke up feeling super grumpy + tired!

My skin is like frigging atrocious now with all the coffeee, irregular sleeping hours, and stress. One consolation is that I've been mugging at home of late, so that gives my skin a breather from make-up. I don't use facial products other than cleanser but last night I was so horrified by the state of my skin that I stole all my Mom's one hahaha.

Anw! Guess why I've been mugging at home! :D I rented my bro's room for $10 for 10 days hahaha! A small bribe to kick him out of his own room. Its really conducive to have a room all to myself to study (:

I've been a complete mugger toad. The last time I went out was for dinner with chankeet on wedneday! (: But that was a happy one cus we had steamboat at tiong bahru plaza! I'm totally craving for hot soupy stuff of late. OH YES! On that day, ck and I was at redhill waiting for the train. We were sitting on those benches and just talking and laughing when this crazy indian came up to us and saidddd, "FUCK OFF, NO ROMANCE HEREE!" and mumbled something about he not liking romance and shit. I was like damn wtf and to my surprise, ck got up to scold the guy! hahahaha! He asked him what's his problem and to go away hahahaha and cus the stupid indian can't talk properly and was like making weird rrrrr sounds, ck kept imitating his sounds. OMG I was like totally laughing away! Such a crazy shit lor!! Must be some deprived idiot.

I wanted to shout YOU FUCK OFF LAH but that is really unbecoming hahah! Seriously, studying accumulated this whole canister of pent up frustration in me so such crazy dudes are, come to think of it, a great outlet :DD Too bad I didn't utilize it!

Okay back to studying! I LOVE MIS!!... NOT!

2009-11-16T22:59:00.003+08:00

Don't want it to start, can't wait for it to end!

Four days to my first paper!!

All the best everyoneeee (:

2009-11-12T20:08:00.003+08:00

Mugging finance the entire day for tmr's test(!!) is killing me softly.

And despite that, I still have one and a half chapters to go! T.T

2009-11-11T23:26:00.004+08:00

Madness in the library with the Queen of Snort

Mel: what is pu gong ying? peacock ah

Yueqi: LOL! I have no idea you know. I thought its some princess?

Mel: wth! OBVIOUSLY ITS A BIRD! EVEN I KNOW LOR! YOU SURE YOU HC ONE OR NOT!

Turns out Pu gong ying = DANDELION. YEAHHHH SURE MEL, A BIRD..

2009-11-08T23:09:00.005+08:00

First day of intensive studying for the exams! (: I toaded at my favourite heartland cave all day with my sister but progress was quite slow. Exams are creeping nearer and nearer by the day!! Eeeps!!! Ended off the evening with dinner at Jack's Place with my cat, sis and sis's bf (: We all felt that Astons now beat Jack's Place hands down though. I loveeeeeeee Astons! <3 Chargrill chicken!!

Yesterday was a fabulous day because Garfield and I went.... SWIMMING!!! :D :D :D And its not at some boring ordinary swimming pooool- we went to the big fun fantasy land kind at Jurong East! Wheeeee! Look!

SLIDES!

I took the shortest (yellow) one, which I think was the scariest, and the highest (blue) one, which was superrrrrrrrrr! I really really love the tall slide cus we get to slide down on those gigantic floats so you'll kinda land nicely on the pool like some zen buddhda when you shoot out at the bottom! For the yellow one you had to go floatless so the speed was alooooot faster and I totally just flopped, tumbled and fell flat into the pool! Painnnnn! I was laughing damn hard at ck cus he came out of the slide backwards hahahahaha! Damn funny!! He said that to his horror, he just started turning the wrong way round the moment he start sliding off on his float. LOL! Fat lahhh =D

And the wave pooool! (: See those big floats, damn shiok to relax on!! I wanted to ninja one home and simply forfeit my $2 deposit but I realised that they actually took down ck's particulars! So if the float goes home with me poor ck will probably be hounded by them! hahaha! I was clinging on to ck's arm most of the time like a koala cus I kept getting submerged by the waves and ck had to keep fishing me out. lol! So awfulllll! The waves are quite big okay!

So all in all, it was great great funnnn and I reeeeally enjoyed myself! heeeeeeee! Can't wait to go swimming again! <3

2009-11-06T16:28:00.002+08:00

I AM SO SO SO SO SLEEPYYYYYYYY!

2009-11-05T12:44:00.013+08:00

Yippee! Finally a day at home! (: I can't believe that the semester is ending in three weeks!? It felt so short! Exams will soon be upon us again! Fwahhhhh ):

Anw, the Great Eastern 10k run is over! And I'm not dead yet! :D haha!

Here we are, posing with the medal I don't deserve! lol! I was late for the 10km flagoff and was allowed only to run the 5k route cus the roads were to be opening up soon after /:

After the run, chankeet and I rotted at Gloria Jeans to wait for our stomachs to wake up for lunch! Since we had nothing to do, we camwhored alot and I was laughing really hard at all the photos we took!

ck insisted that his ah lian poses beat mine hands down! lol! Yeah okay okay, let you win!

And the disfigured aliens meet!

We had lunch later at Ding Tai Feng which sucks lah! So unsatisfying /: Then ck came over to my place to chill and after he left, I conked out for the night!

Two days before my run, I went to get new running earphones too! :D I really love themmm! Super light weight, comfortable and I thought they were pretty too..!

...until my mom and sis say they look like hearing aids /: What killl joys. lol! Now I kinda think so too haha! T.T

The cat without specs! (: I thought he actually looks quite good without them! :D But look at his retarded face in the 2nd picture!! damn qian bian right! lol! Feel like boxing him >:)

I like this photo that he took on the same day and then photoshopped to kinda change the colour tone!

Looks cool right! Like some tragic emo girl :D Save for the fact that I look TOTALLY nose bridgelessT.T

And one last thing I must blog about- MY MEATBALLLLLLLLLLL! These days I've been fretting about it cause it feels a bit sore!

Seee that eeky tumour thing?! I hope its because ck photoshopped the picture that it looks so red......... (but I don't think so)

(shit man........)

So I did some research! And I found out that my meatball has a scientific name! Its actually a...

KELOID!

"A keloid is a big lump that can arise from any skin injury. Keloids that arise from piercings tend to be round or oval and can grow to a very large size. Keloids are essentially abnormal scar tissue -- the body's exaggerated response to a trivial injury"

When I read that, I basically only saw the words in bold! SHITTTTTTTT!

Also, just days ago I was telling ck I feel like getting a naval piercing, and then I saw this:

"One final word of warning. People who pierce their ears in many places tend to pierce other body parts, too. People who form keloids in one place tend to form keloids in other places, too. Think about this before you have another piercing."

lol! Looks like I shouldn't do so unless I want my meatball to have a twin, or a family for that matter //:

2009-11-04T15:20:00.003+08:00

I HAVE A TEST AT 6pm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But I have no mood to study at all ):

And so I'm sitting in the arts canteen now blogging, with weiyan opposite me playing games on her hp.

Its a gloomy gloomy dayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

I want to climb into bed without a care in the world, and sleep..

4 hours til the end! (:

2009-10-25T23:46:00.012+08:00

INTENSIVE TRAINING for the run starts today!!! Isn't the cheetah handsome? (: I really love it!

(unless its chasing me)

Anw, THE RUN I IMPULSIVELY SIGNED UP FOR IS APPROACHINGG! AHHH! And I'm no fitter than I was 3 months ago! lol! This week is the last shot I have to either magically expand my lungs or implant some powerful legs /: Hopefully, working hard this week brings me a biiiiiit closer to completing the race! hahaha!

And so, I was determined to run today and my nice cat agreed to accompany me to train at ccab! I yield only one conclusion: The run is going to SHINGZ me if I don't train like a dog for the next few days! T.T

On to recent happenings! ck and I finally went to ECP to cycleeee! It was a funshine happy sunny day with a breeze so the weather was really perfect! (: We got ourselves a twin bike and set off on our cycling expedition! Wheeee! I really like the feeling of the wind against my face as we cycle- so nice and relaxing (: Somemore since I was sitting behind shaking leg, I could just not cycle at all and let ck do all the work! *evil grin*

Some photos for now! (:

Our baby for the day! (:

ck in the sky!

about to jump into the sky! My arms look twisted and weird right! hahah!!

happy cat!

happy me!

/edit

Ck "nearly got into a collision!" Just look at the look of sheer terror on his face! LOL!

I could barely balance the huge bike- the front seat is frigging high!

Eeky hair from all the sweat! Like jx's best friend from lecture :D Only his is 1000000 times worseee! /:

ck's toes look beaten and bruised!

Cycling at ECP isnt complete without stopping for a C-O-C-O-N-U-T! :D

"Are those black bushy caterpillars on your face....?"

In the heat of summer sunshine
I miss you, like nobody else
In the heat of summer sunshine
I kiss you, and nobody needs to know;

Today, the carpark barrier was up but I had a bad day.

2009-10-10T14:58:00.005+08:00

Finally a day of rest! (: I woke up at 11am (slept at 9pm) and have been lazing around, reading and surfing the net since! BLISS! (:

Last week was a totally crrraaazzzyyyyy week all thanks AIS, because my group's presentation and project was due a day after another. THE HORRORS! The work invovled was mad crazy and we've been slogging in school til the wee hours everyday, ending with us sleeping at 6.30am the night before the deadline! hahaha! Weiyan and I were in charged of printing it out and handing it up and we were sooooooooooo x10000 happy when we FINALLY popped our file into those white boxes. YEAHHHHHHHH! Triumph!

I had a fantastic birthday dinner with my friends last Saturday! (: Initally we wanted to go to the Sushi Tei at Paragon but Max suggested we go to the one at Raffles City and goshh, the out there is really really prettty!! I love the layout and ambience there (:

Pleasantly surprised! (:

Everyone was very fansinated by Garfield's camera! hahaha! and hence alot of camwhoring followed! (:

Really pretty pictures right! (: I had a really great day!

Thank you everyone! (:

2009-10-04T23:35:00.002+08:00

Turning Twenty (:

In a blink of an eye, my 20th birthday has come and gone! (: I spent my birthday in the business school library studying like a crazy woman but despite having such a muggertoad birthday, I actually had a really great oneeee ((: I kept smiling to myself all day as I received texts from friends and messages on Facebook! Thank you so much everyone! I know I didn't reply every single one of you but I hope you all know how grateful and happy I am to receive your message (: Much loveeeeeee!

Now on to specifics! I'll like to thank my bestieee Teo Weiyan for dragging me out to study on my birthday because quoting her, "studying at home on your birthday is sooooo borrringgg!" lol! Actually studying can't get very interesting but it was so so much better with her around (: yays! Thank youuuu girl! She also gave me a packet of M&Ms (my fav!) and a pretty homemade card which she banned me from reading until I get home cus she is too shy :D Mushy content HAHAHA! And then to bff Jx for the lovely postcard (: A much smaller thanks to stupid bff Troy who didn't give me a card but came to mess up my hair big-time while saying Happy Birthday in the library. I forgive him though cus I know his intentions were good :D And then also to IVAN LIM!! (see, I treat you as my bff and I remember you!! :D) for the phone calllllllll! (accompanied by accusations and threats hahaha!)

Next up is a huge thank youuuu to my darling Garfield cat, who surprised me in school with a birthday cake ((:

Hair messy and looking crazy from all the studying! haha!

<3 It was a pretty durian cake and very yummy! hee hee! I had a great time dear! xie xie ni! :D

And then when I got home, I found a birthday card that came in the mail from Lekchiaaaaa with a Robinsons gift card attached! (: Aww that's really unexpected and sweet! Thank youuu! (:

Last but not least, to the clique in school that I absolutely cannot do without! Thank you for the gorgeous Michael Kors watch and the card! (: I love them! I also just found out from Fio that they wanted to get me a rabbit at first! Fio told me that in the end, they concluded the poor rabbit will probably get eaten up by Moomoo and Mimi when I'm asleep and hence junked the idea! hahahahaha!! Frigging funny! (And they aren't wrong about the conclusion..)

My first dainty watch! (:

And lastly...

MY DAD BOUGHT ME A MERCEDES SPORTS CAR!!!!!!

YEAH RIGHTTTTTTTT! :D lol! That was taken during the F1 screening at Cycle and Carriage! (: More about it next time! hahaha!

Studying has drove me crazy!

And so to end off, I had a really really heartwarming birthday (: I cannot ask for more (:

Loss.

I do not like this word at all. Everytime I think of losing things dear to me, I really can feel my heart aching. Sometimes in my heart, I quietly chant, "Dear God, please don't take this away from me. I love it so very very much. I promise to treasure it mroe from now on" But loss is just a part of our lives. We must learn to accept it and move on, no matter how hard it is.

I was patting my Moomoo just now, watching him curled up in his corner, snoozing peacefully until I sat down beside him- where he quickly awoke to acknowledge my presence and then lay down beside me, wanting me to scratch his tummy. I looked down at his furry little brown face and trusting eyes and suddenly, I'm so scared that I would one day not have my Moomoo with me anymore ):

Its a simple, passing thought like this that makes me determined to cherish all that I have now.

Today, my cat and I talked about me leaving for Sweden next year. Although I am excited for my exchange trip, I can't help feeling very sad that I will not get to be with my cat for half a year. Half a year is not a very long time, but it is not a short time either. I've never been apart from my cat for more than two weeks- the two weeks when he went to Taiwan for army stuffs.

I've thanked him umpteen times on this boring blog of mine, but I'll like to thank him again, for being the most thoughtful, understanding and sweetest boyfriend that anyone can ask for. For today alone, thank you for offering to send me home tmr so we can spend some time together, for the plans to go running with me in prep for 10k, for understanding that I need to study, for wanting to come to Sweden, and for always making me smile and laugh and happy (:

I love you, big orange cat! (:

2009-09-20T21:32:00.002+08:00

I just re-watched the video montage that ck made for me for our one-year anniversary a year ago! Looking at the images really transports me back in time and I can't help smiling at all the happy memories we've created together.

I love you my cat! (:

Attended my first garden wedding at the Botanica Gardens today as one of my Mom's friends got hitched there! (: They were one of the 168 couples who got hitched today- 20-09-2009 (: What a nice date!

I'm really sleepy now so heres just two pictures from today! Goodnight world!

Tree of love! <3

My little bro (not so little anymore) and I (:

2009-09-16T23:19:00.002+08:00

NOT!

Had my source-based test (yessss ages since I did one of these) on Nation Building today and to no surprise, I don't think I did so great! /: Its been soooooo long since I wrote an essay that I was barely coherent in trying to string my sentences together, let alone present a well structured argument! I left the lecture hall feeling a bit dazed and wrung out. haha.

One more test to go this Friday! Its Finance, and although I did my revision, I don't feel ready! I feel that I'm still conceptually quite weak.

Sorry for such a boring, muggertoad post. Recess week will soon be upon us! (: Can't wait!!!

2009-09-14T22:37:00.000+08:00

Been busy busy these days mugging for my two tests this week /: Funny thing is whenever I'm busy, I will feel this irrational urge to blog. lol! Anything to avoid/prolong having to study! Not good, not good.

Anw, I was studying at my favourite hide-out today- complete with messy hair, oily face and a big frown (at my finance notes), when the Meow meow cat appeared suddenly to surprise me! (: Not catching me at my most glam moment but thanks dear, you made me day! (:

Over dineer, we were talking about his future puppy and I am soooooooo excited!!! :D Chankeet thought of a reeeeeaaaaaalllyyy cute name for his dog!!! Its called......

STUBBY!

HAHAHAHA!!!

I can already see it in my mind's eye! It'll be a nice light brown, chubby and plump, with a smiley face, twinkling eyes and a pink tongue sticking out. And then four plump little stubby legs!!! SO CUTE! :D Can't wait for Stubby to take shape, although it might have a change of name if it turns out un-stubby-ish! hahaha!

I'm thinking if I should do my Managerial Acct tutorial now or study for my Singapore Studies test on Wednesday.

2009-09-13T18:22:00.003+08:00

Absentmindedly making me want you ;

Lost momentum in my revision so here I am! There's a mad amount of Nation Building readings that I have to read, and the only characteristic they have in common is that... they are all BORING. The lectures are interesting enough, but when you are combing through photocopied pages after photocopied pages of never-ending small print, nothing can be really interesting anymore.

There is a bit of something irking me at the back of my mind, like a small, sharp pebble in my shoe that I cannot seem to remove. No major discomfort, but uneasiness all the same.

Here's something inspirational to share with everyone! (: Although I'm not a Christian, I really like this piece of poetry that jx shared with me! (: He has this knack of identifying inspirational and deeeep stuff that he knows I'll like! yay bff! (:

God has not promised skies always blue,
flowers-strewn pathways all our lives through.
God has not promised sun without rain,
joy without sorrow, peace without pain.

But God has promised strength for the day,
rest for the labour, light for the way.
Grace for the trials, help from above,
unfailing sympathy, undying love.

I remember I was discussing with Troy and Weiyan one day about the draw of Christianity, and Troy said that the belief of knowing that someone is out there, loving you and guiding you unconditionally, is extremely powerful.

Somehow, I can feel it whenever I read this poem (: I don't know if anyone else feels that way, but to me, God is just God- an unknown being looking out for me; someone I pray to for comfort and in trials. I do not know the identity of the god I silently and subconciously pray to.

2009-09-12T02:34:00.002+08:00

Please let me find it!!! ):

Had a great day with my Garfield cat today (: I feel that my cat has become a happier and more optimistic person of late (not that he wasn't in the past but even more so now) and I'm really happy for him! (: Through him, I saw self-motivation and self-control materialising to a whole new level. Thanks dear, for always inspiring and encouraging me, and lending me books that you think will do me good! I really appreciate it! (:

We watched the Time Traveller's Wife and I think its a brilliant movie! Seriously. I don't know why the newspaper reviews gave it two and a half stars?! It deserves way more than that! I munched on nachos throughout while my cat snacked on his favourite sweet popcorn haha. I think thats the only snack he's ever tempted by!

After that we had dinner at the foodcourt downstairs. I didn't eat anything cus I was sooooooo full from the nachos. Only drank some Garfield's fish soup and ate a few strands of seaweed. Hahah! Cat also bought me two very very long pieces of chewy gummy-sweet from those pushcarts ard cineleisure (: Its approximately 18 inches long can! :DD

Nike Plus Human Race 10k is here again! I AM GOING TO JOIN IT!!!!

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name;
And for that name, which is no part of thee,
Take all myself. "

-Romeo and Juliet

Jx introduced me a little to Romeo and Juliet today and I found myself falling in love with the strange, beautiful language- used to tell such a hauntingly bittersweet story..

2009-09-04T23:37:00.003+08:00

Four weeks into school and I'm falling behind again! Somehow I feel that I'm studying alot more than the previous semester but I don't seem any better off /: How ungratifying! I hope its not because my engine is sooo rusty after hols that I feel I'm studying alot more when in fact, I'm not. lool! I neeed more timeeee!

For one, despite pasting a big planner entitled "WE ARE THE ROADRUNNERS!!!" (I know, we're embarassing:D) on the wall for my sis and I, we have both yet to embark on the success-guaranteed training schedule that we've so carefully drawn up together. Oh nos! I don't want to have a 10k big walk!! O.O

TGIF today! /: I was really super shag after Finance tutorial today having worked my sluggish brains so hard to follow what was being addressed in class. Somehow the class made me more confused! After that was Bizcomm and luckily, it was still relatively slack and the two hours passed pretty quickly! The highlight of the night was MALA STEAMBOAT BUFFET with my favourite friends at Bugis! ((:

tadah!

Okay, that wasn't ours. I koped this off Google images haha but yes, ours looked something like that :D Yummy! The soup was pretty hot but I'm the soupy kind of girl and I have a love affair with chilli so MALA STEAMBOAT is the ultimate combo! (: Yummmy! I ate sooooooooooo much that my stomach was like damn hard alr hahaha! Stretched to its limits!!! I'm not kidding cus both wy and joan poked it! lol! Horrible man!

Next, we headed to some nearby dessert place for dessert! Honestly I cannot stomach anything else and as it was also getting late, I left for home first! (: As I was walking back, I started to feel damn shit all of a sudden //: Think all the chilli was getting to me lol! So I sat down at Mos Burger for a while to catch my breadth before I struggled to my feet to take a cab home. Aiyoh. Me and my horrible, lousy stomach //: The uncle in the taxi kept talking to me and even though I was like dying, I still had to keep talking to him. But weirdly enough, when I alighted from the cab I felt quite fine again. lol! Taxi uncle got healing powers!

Ck just told me he walked over burning coals!!!!!! OMGGGGGG!!!!!

Been awhile since I wrote a decent entry on my blog.

I did get a load off my chest. But my feelings are complex and sometimes, contradictory. I change my mind easily and occasionally, my thoughts are too volatile for even me to grasp. It makes me feel like I'm a total pushover, absorbing everyone's opinions to blur the edges of my own. Sometimes I feel that I'm adjusting what I want repeatedly to fit my own expectations and that of others.

I've always been a person happy in my comfort zone, but recently I felt that I've changed! I'm suddenly yearning for changes in my life. Don't know whether to feel happy or sad. Have I gotten tired of the life I'm leading? Or am I finally ready to embrace something new? (:

ANWS, I went for the NUS Jazz Band concert yesterday night with my cat, Daniel and Fio to watch the bff Pian Piang (haha!) perform :) It was a really great performance and I enjoyed it immensely!! Think I was sitting quite entralled throughout the entire concert.

(:

Then Jx drove all of us for supper at Newton! I was actually quite full but seeing the yummy spread in front of me was too much to resist :D So I ended up eating a lot /:

School at 10am tmrrrrrr yawnsssssss!

On a completely random note, I really want to thank my Garfield cat for being here in my life, after two years and more. I was really touched by the way you said you'll take care of me and make sure I eat all my meals on time when I said I am going to die early of some evil stomach disease.

I love you dear (:

Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up.
It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed.
Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up.
It knows that it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve.
