Tuesday, July 31


i know this is like so outdated... ,

but im watching hanazarino kimitachihe and it's really good!
i mean, the actors are c u t e !
ha.
wangdongcheng is so adorable.
people, i found 'the one'!
(=

okay,
enough retardness.

i did 30 push-ups just now.
that's not bad coming from a couch potato like me!
well, that's after the hours spent on the couch..
and to clarify, i didnt spent it brain-dead with a dazed expression!
i was smart-ening up - reading.
(=

i think it'll be really great if i can get a whole library of books.
serious.
like a whole room, carpeted and decorated with heavy upholstery?
very victorian! - i totally love that era.
there'll be this nice big couch - so entitled! - and lots of dark wood shelves.
with tons and piles of books!
but strictly not chinese please.
just english, with thrillers romance and comics...
good enough for me.

i just finished a book today.
it's not bad.
though the author admitted to almost losing the plot.
if im her, i'd never say that!
but still..
it's okay.

im starting a katie macallister book now.
manda swears by her.
what if 'she' turns out to be pen name for a guy?
ha!
after all, its usually the guy who writes about magic, dragons and guilds.
but she's a good author.

god, this is sounding like a book club..

"and today, we shall be discussing pride and prejudice, the wonders of the old and out-dated.."

i havent read that actually.
literature freak that i am .
in fact, the only classic i can honestly say i have read is probably black beauty.
which is awesome.
but sad.

oh, i must mention my guilt today:
i havent practice.
but still frightened.
juxtaposition.

yadda yadda.
im hungry again.

Friday, July 27


hi!!(=

i cant believe im tired again.
can you believe it?
can you believe it?
im sleepy again!!

ha.
i sound like a retard.

when i type now,
i keep imagining ben's 'um..okay' respones to whatever i typed.
ugh.

like, whatever dude.

im going to pasar malam later!
hee.
and gonna gorge on all those goodies.

OH!
im having my piano test soon.
and i really really frightened.
i dont usually use the word frightened..
which mean im seriously scared.
im convinced..
this is worse than Os!
and i just failed my prelims.
[i dont even know why there's a prelim for piano but yeah.]
so i was told the prelims was marked in this extreme strict way
but it's still a fail.
scary!

im so not going out these days.
well, except today.
pasar malam!!
must go!
(=

wont talk now..
im gonna fulfill my mission.
attempt to beat the bunny score!
ciao people~!

Wednesday, July 25


ha!
im free to blog!
that is a small miracle in itself.

but im so sleepy that i cant focus. yesterday when i was online at freaking 3am doing mkg, i kept zoning out! maryanne keep nudging me on MSN but i didnt notice. its like, im still awake and all but my eyes kinda..cross? and my mind was miles away.

anyways!
ben read my blog the other day and implied that my blog was useless rambling. well, for your info, most blogs are useless ramblings! if i were to craft a nice essay onto my blog, i'll probably update about twice a month?

won-der-ful!
not everyone thinks as deeply as you do, ben.

and he thinks nicholas and i have something on.
ha!
i think he's bonkers.
f r i e n d s.
(=

im so pasar malam crazy~!
it's like the best singapore tradition, right up the hall of fame with hainanese chicken rice, chilli crab and good old kiasu-ness.
there were nice nice food!
i love the fake shark's fin soup.
haha.
people, dont eat the real thing.
it's expensive and kills sharks.
do you know how they are killed?
the evil fishermen - or shark-bounty hunters- catches the sharks, cut off the fin, and throws the poor squirming body back into the sea, where it'll be inevitably eaten by the other sharks.
gross?
mean?
wait til you watch the video.
d i g u s t i n g.
so, dont eat shark's fin soup.
yeah.

i digressed.
anyway, maryanne introduced me to choc tutukueh!
look so nice - must try!
and...
honeycomb!
and fried icecream.

okay, i was gonna blog more but..
yoga class!
last session.
and i still cant touch my toes.
embarrassing.
bye!

Sunday, July 22


today..is already the 22th.
excatly a week.
im so busy can.
mon was cassundra's bday!
i was really tired this morn. yap's lecture, which didnt turn out as bad as i expected it to, was pretty dry too. i didnt talk much to the girls, just sat there almost nodding off!
but later, i started freaking out. i've got three deadlines looming! talk about puns.
dead, get it? hahahaha.
laugh people, laugh.
anyway, there isnt gdf lec today [will probably have a make-up!].
so we went to pizzahut earlier.
cass.clara.manda.nic.me.
bran.alvin.iman.ben.nick.
we were sitting like...all girls one side and guys the other?
felt just like blind dates!
as if we're having a find-your-true-love-party.
HAHA.
and guess what?
we camwhored at the simpsons' movie backdrop!
[there was this kid staring at us.
probably going..why are they stealing the spot from me?]
and in toys 'r' us.
all courtesy to nicholas.
thankyou!
he's so sweet today.
aww..rare.
we also played at the arcade..i beat nick at daytona.
major ouch.
since im not too good either.
then we watched harry potter again.
yawn.
the book's way better!
plus the csq theatre crowd seems a little retard,
laughing way after the punchline.
like, punchline *pauses* ahahahaha!
stupid.
cass's really touched anyway.
flowers, pizza, movies, arcade, cheesecake and presents!
plus two big soft toys from alvin.
hmm..how come my last bday seems so..
like nothing much?
thinking back, my last bday was really that great.
instead of celebrating with my friends,
this bunch of schoolmates threw me a surprise party.
i cant decide if that's a good or bad thing.
fortunately, huijing and lianghao were there.
at least.
coming back to today..
i spent a lot of money!
yadda yadda..plus i still met the guys for dinner.
talk about broke!
i had to go to tpjc to wait for eehong..then to his estate's void deck.
all cause of his training!
the mosquitos got a good meal out of me!
ugh! i tell you, if i come down with dengue, it's his fault.
siva went with us!
see, huijing couldnt make it and shing is MIA.
we had pastamania!
we could really talk.
siva and i.
it's like we're on the same frequency. so cool okay.
the other days were nothing much..
tues was spent working..
wed..yoga, then i did projects until 3am.
thurs too.
fri.
and today..
tsk.
my eyelids are protesting!!
i still have plans tml!
(=
today..was quite fun!
i met huijing, aileen and shing for lunch.
at fish&co.
wince.
poor!
then we camwhored!
upload the pictures tml or something.
my bed is calling me!
nightie nights!
PS.
i love doing projects with the girls today..
more like girl sessions la!
love them(=

Monday, July 16


5days since i last blogged!
those past few days have been hectic.
i so regretted wasting tuesday away..
ha!
just like me.

wed was crazy!
i was so busy doing the brochures that i didnt go to yoga.
apparently it's not as easy as it seems.
the brochure i mean.
i didnt managed to do much except research and failing to download stupid indesign.
i finished research and organising only at 1 in the morn.
then i slept..and woke up at 5plus in the freaking morn to meet manda -thanks darling!- so i can do my brochure on her laptop.
moral of the story?
i wish i was rich enough to
a) buy a laptop
b) buy every bleeding software adobe has.

anyway, i couldnt finish.
like, duh.
i finished it at 10.30!
a good hour and the half late, plus ponning class.
good huh.
thank god for manda, nic, nat and john.
you guys save my life.
especially manda and john.
one for lending me her laptop and for-going sleep.
the other, for helping me think of excuses.

see, they came down during class break to 'visit' me. then john got this brillant idea that i should fake illness while he ran up to tell that idiot of a teacher that im sick at home and sending him my work. good huh! plus, he helped me print it and did the finishing.

THANKS GUYS!

oh, i had lunch with huijing on thursday!
the last time we met was kinda awkward and weird but we're all better. (=
im meeting her for lunch every thursday thereafter..and hanging out once a month!
the extent of our busy-ness.

i agree with clara, i'll happily bashed up anyone who says poly is for slacking.

and on friday..i went to work..until closing!
nothing's new; im made to stay back.
ugh.
tired can!
and i have music the next morn too.
totally sleep deprived.

oh yeah..
guess who i saw?
andy!
i havent seen him for so long.
i seem to say that everytime i see him..
but its the truth!
i didnt see him, weirong and the rest for so so long.

anyway..sat was packed too!
ha.
im a busy busy girl.
i caught a, like what, 30mins sleep after music?
ugh. then i went to sgh for the volunteering thing.
suddenly, im made a 'friend of sgh [fosgh]' complete with badge!!
i should sincerely enjoy the session but..
i cant.
im supposed to teach patients how to use a camera when im kinda pathetic -at best- with it myself.
there's so many stuff im sill lost at; like white balance, tungsten, acpuncture?
what's that??!!

ee ee yuck!

but later, manda and i met her friends for harry potter.
weird.
read: her friends.
i know huijing always tells me to be more sociable yadda, but i feel just a little like an intruder.
jialin and adrian are nice enough..
but kaiwei seems..i cant place it.

anyways!!
this is much better..
i met all my cousins -oh well, 5 of them and a cool aunt- for pool at hongkong street.

me, sheena, sherrie, stella and vivian

i didnt even knew it existed.
hk street i mean.


and turns out, im not half bad at pool!
i can play....a little.
(=
we played for hours!
then went to archipelago -is that right?- for drinks.
singapore sling.
ginfest -?-
long island.
straight beer.
i like the atmosphere!
very olden..and cosy.
with free flow of peanuts,
of which i ended trying to throw at calvin.
into his mouth and his shirt.
i miss!!
ugh.
haha.
then, lame as it sounds, we played truth or dare across fullerton hotel.
serious truth or dare.
not stupid questions,
but those enough to make you squrim.
well, a little.

so i only hit the sack at, guess?
7am.
til a generous 12pm.
?!@#
that's three nights of barely sleeping in a week!

and guess what?
yours truly is fully booked on-:
mon - cass's bday movie and dinner with the gang
tues - work (i seriously need cash! i probably blew a hundred this past week!)
wed - yoga
thurs - dinner with mom.
busy.

ah, i see lianghao left me a comment.
bad bad feeling about it....
i'll go see.
ciao~

Tuesday, July 10


feels so long since i last blogged..
and guess what??
i finished my journals!!
yays!
only that it's near bloody 2am.
i want my sleep!
but miss good girl here stayed up to do her work.
aint you proud?
(=
tml.. -or today, whichever- do brochures.
-yawn-

there's something wrong with my memory card.
really!
no one's convinced.
and still scold me for losing flying fingers.
jeez.
talking about games..
this is a must try..
www.maggiemarket.com
fun fun!!
i liked hongkong cafe and facial house.
go try!
yes, shing too.
(=

i'll put a link for it next time.
for now, good night.

Sunday, July 8


yadda yadda..been busy all week.
and guess what?
i didnt finish more assignments.
damn.
but i finally handed in my ad, after more editing.
did i mention i hate essgra?
i can never never be a good artist~!

okay, i knew that anyway.

i met huijing on thurs for lunch..like, finally.
her life's so draamaatiic, yet so smooth (well, almost) that she reminds me of the best friends in those chick lit stories.
you know, the main character's best pal who has everything going for them - from the Shopaholic series to the recent good book i read Be careful what you wish for.
kinda sad.
but then, the main character always has good endings right?
it's just that im still at once upon a time.
yeah.

essgra tutorial was funny today.
i was, for whatever reason, standing at my seat. so stupid nicholas took my chair away and stack it on maryanne's.
like dumb, cause i could both see it and hear it. retard. haha. i made him put it back of course.
but.. what if i fell?
he said he'll catch me.
maryanne justed laughed at him and went, nice pick-up line. he went red! well, a little.
funny!
he's always so confident.
hahaha.
see, never do silly childish things! tsk tsk!

i worked yesterday.. from 2 til closing!!
tiring. now, at least.
they all wanted to 'send' me to work..haha. so manda, nicole, nuts, cass, clara, bran and alvin went to cbtl to eat.
and i charged them for the food!
hahaha.
oh well. i had to, right?
but jq later told me to not charge them next time.
oops! (=
i gave ms hoo and meiyi a drink though!
im nice.

i was only supposed to work until 11..but jq asked me to finish the shift cause he didnt want taufik to come.
i dont blame him - taufik couldnt come but he didnt inform anyone. silly huh? jq got so pissed that he scolded taufik, who came in later to return his uniform aka quit.
another stupid thing..all pay will be voided!
so his hours in june became free labour.
tsk tsk.
hence, it was just jq and us 3girls til closing.
and the slam was crraazy~!
gourmet orders kept coming in, blended orders were jammed and the cashier rang non-stop.
i handled all the gourmet and cleared the jam okay?
tiring~
my back ached so much..and i still had to clean the counters. ugh.
cass is right, its not worth it.
but then..jq let us take anything we want from the store.
(=
and yz dropped by to 'see' me. asked me to work for him, really.
well, he can keep dreaming.
i want my weekends!

still, he offered dinner - supper, more like!- and a ride home.
i told him straight in the face, no.
hahahaha.
oh yeah..and i told jq his hair look awful.
hahhaahahhahaha.
so mean!
he threw a cloth at me.
idiot. face it, it looks weird on you.

poor guys.

okay back into sat.
piano today sucked.
or, my results sucked.
ugh!!!!!
terrible actually.
so thou promise..thou will practice an hour daily.
and mote it be.
hahaha.
shakespeare meets wicca.

anyway, i must do my journals now..
ciao!

Tuesday, July 3


supposed to have blogged last night..
but mom threw a tantrum.
there you go,
the terrors of motherhood.
anyway,
purely out of spite
i got up early to blog.
but i kinda regret it now.
-yawns-
im having breakfast,
while typing this,
and scanning my testimontials
in the heat.
can you believe it?
my mom took my fan!
@?!#%


at least,
waking early lets me talk to jingwen
whose school is starting like, now?
ha!
mine starts at nine!
(=
we poor (as in literally broke) souls are meeting at mac to talk.
oh oh oh.
that sounds like someone..!
eww.
okay, we're desperate.


i finished one piece of work yesterday.
essgra.
you know, the mentos ad i mention?
(for some reason, i always pronouned it as mentons, so they all laugh at me. laugh, go ahead! grr.)
anyway, after a long grueling 5hour session in lab2, coupled with some camwhoring sessions and some hair-pulling sessions..im done!
woohoo~
let me show you me grand masterpiece..
and a few shots alvin helped me take.
..
..
TA-DA!
(takes so long to upload pictues..)


damn, the final work cant be loaded.
ugh.
it's okay.
i'll take it as a sign from above...
that you're not meant to see it.
haha!
i'll just show you the initials.
pretty good too!

single mentos among many..two whole packets!

okay..enough for you. count yourself lucky! (=
tonight..im gonna tackle journal 2!

horrors.




22:15


Monday, July 2


i swear, today is a day of discovery.
good and bad.
let me start.

neil humphrey.
writes the best articles!
serious.
just read his latest in this weekend's today paper.
hilarious!
'frail old ladies who totter down the aisle' in Singapore whacking the bus seats like nobody's business. try doing that in Australia, neil!

then.
be careful what you wish for
by alexandra potter.
i love it.
tongue-in-cheek,
sweet,
romantic!
i want the lucky heather!
then i can wish for choc and cakes to be calories-free, lots of free movie tickets, tons of books at heavily discounted price, a long-lost brother, a new bedroom set...
and one cute eligible guy please?

last one.
i cant paint my nails for nuts.
the plan was, im gonna do my own nails instead of paying some overpriced amount just to get pretty colour on my nails.
the end result was smudges of colour on my poor nails and a unsuccessful wash with -can you believe it?- water! my entire toe was 'bronzed pink'! while others use polish remover for their nails, i applied it to my entire toe!
that should teach me a lesson..
im so going for that overpriced manicurists!

see?
inside im a total lit-whore..
not a girly girl!




12:46


Sunday, July 1


okay.
i just read lianghao's blog today..
because i was very very busy.
what with work, school, assignments...you get the idea.
his blog entries..is supremely retard. (=
and the fact that he spoke to that freaky gay so much just shows how much he needs to get out.
socialize can?
did he just imagine that part or what?

oh wait..he swam?
did he miscounted the laps he did or what?
i bet he did.
or did he take hours to finish his 12 laps, with plenty of breaks?

and please, lianghao.
maybe you still didnt know but people do know that i have a blog.
anyway, a blog is for you to type what you want to,
not to publicise your life.
so honey, it doesnt have to be known by every single friend.

besides, i dont go around asking people to visit my blog.
do you do that?
oh jeez.

and..mr kind?
i think i was kinder for being concerned.




14:34



ms ann is sick.. so there's no piano!
to think i practised.
actually..barely.
haha.
i've only been slacking all morn!
eat, read, go online, eat somemore, listen to the radio..
yadda yadda.

i was doing my essgra yesterday..
i was finishing it..
then i saved it..
a..n..d...
it's gone.

like, freak!
ahhhh~
so im redoing..
for the umpteen time.
ugh!!

i hate essgra and gdf!

oh oh!
i've got a B in my marketing journals.
ha!
not bad can.
(=

and you know what?
after a term of being cca-less, im gonna join visual central!
take photos!
snap snap snap!

okay, what else?
oooh yeah!
i met andy in cheers yesterday.
what was i doing there? save money!
and he patted my head.
do i look like a kid?
huh?
huh?
how dare anyone..
hmpf!
