If you'd been wondering, where I've gone to,

& sometimes when we touch

2009-08-09T00:48:00.001+08:00

At times I'd like to break you
And drive you to your knees
At times I'd like to break through
And hold you endlessly

At times I understand you

And I know how hard you've tried
I've watched while love commands you
And I've watched love pass you by

At times I think we're drifters
Still searching for a friend
A brother or a sister
But then the passion flares again

And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

I am so living in my own world.

YO!

It has been a remarkable two years. I wouldn't have realised if not for a random email from my sis. It did freak me out a little when it came to me that the resemblance level was pretty high. Speaking of reminiscing, zzb used to see one another almost every single day during poly life. The last time we met was probably during graduation in May but that wasn't even a gathering to really catch up with each other.

So after a unsuccessful trip to Timbre previously, I dated all of them to ION Orchard first bcos my colleague kept laughing at me for not been there. What a massive crowd on a sat aftn! Only a brief walk around to all the high-end shops before a quick dinner at Sushi Tei. Kind of amazed by the fact that they managed to dig 4 levels underground at the crossroad & connect the shopping malls.. but we actually took 1/2 hr from ION to Paragon :/

Finally the night at Timbre. The place where we were seated was extremly warm, leaving us sweating & cursing. Seafood platter and band was good tho. Managed to catch the reflection of NDP preview fireworks from tall buildings. haha...

From innocent teens to now, already-or-stepping-into adulthood, times have changed. The reality may have mould us into selves without us noticing. 1.66 & srz started school just this week & srz was mentioning she missed poly times so very much. Some memories were deeply engraved. I remembered every proj meeting erupting into nonsensical laughters & fun. Like roleplaying at sf's and her bro giving us weird stares, rehearsing inside mlt12 late in the evening, the ah-bian act for GBE, the signature Mocca act by srz, Bagus! Bugis walking tour...... & so on. No luck for these kind of things now. Going to school after work can be a dread, staying vigilent throughout the 3-hours lecture can be taxing and the journey back home always seemed so far. Balancing between work, school & personal life can be tough. Not to mentioned my finals are in a week's time and I am absolutely unprepared!

A HR trainer from my company said to me- Paper qualifications only serve as a stepping stone. Ultimately, it's your performance at work experience that counts. Which very well justify everything im doing.

I am learning not to regret but to move forward and trust myself. So open your eyes, I am changing my world. :)

Love everyone!

Love Sundays!

No more ice creams. No more chocolates. No more rice. No more bread. No more crackers. No more McDonald's.

Only fruits. Only soup. Only tofu. Only vegetables. Only fish. Only cereals. Only exercise.

Damn it!

My weekends are always like a race. How much I wished to sleep a little longer, but every single minute counts becos i have endless tasks to do. No otherwise for these 2 days. Consumer Behaviour test is just next friday, and Marketing presentation the following Monday, and i have my shows to catch up with too. My wardrobe is upside down, my room is in a mess, i desperately need to fix my nails and add some colours to it. Not to mention there are 10,000 pairs of shoes lying around, and i so wanna visit the salon, or even take an aimless stroll out anywhere.

I sometimes do wonder why i put myself in such a state. & worst of all, i hardly see the money rolling in becos almost half of my salary are used up for repayment of all my study loans. (Ok, i admit i may have hidden part of the truth) But still, i hate Maybank.

oh, don't trust whatever I said. I am full of procrastination.
I should really start thinking what I want.

I need food.

[/edit]

Time check 5:09pm

ok, my papa jus came into the room and laughed at me because..

and made the night seemed so wonderful.

:)

Time Machine.

2009-07-05T00:29:00.001+08:00

I'm already at the verge of losing my voice, and i could feel it when i was all hysterical while watching will's episode on you tube. I think i shouldn't mentioned i'm happily munching my famous amos cookies... Feeling so drained. again.

*
It was in our plan to spend the lovely friday night at Timbre, but seeing the queue needs at least a few hours' wait, we strolled back to Saizeriya at Central for dinner before finally settling at MS for overnight singing.

Expectedly, we were all too tired to get high, with me dozing off from time to time haha... It took an hour to drop them off at their place and i finally reached home at 5am. Not to mention the detour the uncle made when he exited at avenue 1, going from wlds to adm station, when he can actually turned right and go str to my place! That aside, i totally love spending time with them, although we are always indecisive of where to go, and they kept on critisizing my horrendous laughter. That for sure isn't my true self, i have the most humble laughter. hahaha! Anw, i thought a night activity like this actually fully utilized my weekends and made them seemed longer. Shall rsvp for Timbre few days in advance the next time round :)

*
Few weeks back, our whole family went to Sakura at Admiralty Park to celebrate Father's Day. It was my first time to the park itself and i thought the place is pretty, erm before it gets really dark luh. Despite it being quite a ulu place, the crowd was big even before operating hours. I couldn't stand those uncles aunties and children squeezing their way through, and the desserts are disappointing. We'd to queue so so long to take a scoop of ice cream and jus one scoop bcos there're too many else waiting for their turns. But we have always wanted to go there, because of the tv ad papa saw. hur. marketing gimmick.

so........ overloaded with food! :D

:)

BLANK.

ah jie finally got her LV Bag from UK!!
& we 3 poor souls took the opportunity to experiment how well we carry it when she bumped into her colleagues. since we can't afford it, not at least in these few years. So it's for memory's sake. The point is, WE CARRIED an LV BAG. Not that it's a big deal anyway... hahah :D

coming up with more..................

meanwhile, i need some solid sleep!

with love,

Hello the-not-so-gorgeous-world, I am feeling so high perhaps due to the lack of sleep or the shooting glucose level from overdose of junk food. Had been looking forward to Saturday, because it has been ages sisters/cousins hang out together. So I threw all the stress of the tight deadlines of my assignments to the back of my brain, and woke up very early as usual for our trip to City Sq. And now, Saturday is over. Soon my precious weekends will be over.

Just last week, we headed back to NP's annual campfire, tho not very much of any fire burning. Totally missed the relaxing school days. It's really weird and funny, yet comforting to see how all of us grew & changed. :)

trend spotted: the more senior, the shorter you are! *rolls eyes*

5th batch, but machiam don't belong together haha

the funky 7th batch :D

Need for a booze.

Stretch your hand and touch my heart, and you will understand.

I often feel that I'm hopping to another world whenever I'm with different pple, each seems to be totally detached from another. The jigsaws of my life it may be, but no doubt there are those that I truly enjoyed, with my truer self being extended, esp when surrounded by pple whom I love their company. Then as the clock strucked twelve, these moments instantly became surreal.

I am that indecisive, almost regretting every single decisions I made. Only to say I feel like escaping the situation whenever I feel stagnant. Yet I am afraid. I do get sick of it, get sick of putting a strong front but ended up getting nowhere.

How I wished to go back to school, and be a nthg-much-to-worry-about-except-cursing-at-the-humongous-load-of-projs student.

The comfort zone is definitely far beyond my reach.

Sometimes, I am equally amazed by myself. Like how pple wondered why I came pull myself up at 4am to do my assignments.

It's time to search for avenues to fulfill my self-actualisation needs, bcos we know each level can co-exist.

Looking forward to weekends baby!

LOCKED.

Beating thrice as fast.

2009-06-04T21:53:00.000+08:00

My feet were hurting t h i s much from so much of walking, moving & setting up for the roadshow, in the pair of yellow wedges. Chartering a plane would be the only viable option to skip the long passageway from Suntec to the train station. But hello earth, I still have to, & could only drag myself thru' citylink. Amazing thing is, when i couldn't resist (again) and stepped into m)phosis, all those pain were gone! As tho all the sa%es transformed themselves to cushion my aching feet. From the bottom of heart i swear tht these are true solid facts. & they (my feet) felt like a ton once i was out of the sa%es zone.

Sales shopping is probably the next best thing.

Tell me can anyone still keep your monies under the pillow?

I better get back to flipping my Consumer Behaviour & get going with the 5th para of Case 4.1
:/

Girls are meant to be girls.

2009-05-31T17:53:00.000+08:00

Two years ago, I thought bout it. Two days ago, I thought bout the same thing. It might be just enough with that one word. Girls, are girls afterall.

Now, the only regret might probably be not taking enough pictures with everyone during graduation.

i must be laughing at her...

C for Classic.

the not-very-class photo haha!

why keep taken fr lower angle? killer double chin :(

probably the best picture taken

Glad to have every single yous thru my 3 years :)

2009-05-30T23:22:00.000+08:00

Pretending we were cover girl, or perhaps having a photoshoot to be featured in cleo. i totally enjoyed the fun of flipping thru mags to look for ideas, laughing our heads off when we saw the end result, and giggling at the fact that us being models ain't a mission impossible! Tho' it isn't perfect, but still very cool ok. Nod ya head, u gotta agree with me! and i love my sis to bits for our same level of insanity :/

hello, and goodbye.

2009-05-26T23:57:00.000+08:00

I'm like refusing to turn in to bed, b'cos before i knew it, the next moment i opened my eyes, it's time for work again. Not that I detest working, but it's like being hit back to reality after a nice long dream.

A lot of thoughts are running inside my mind now.

See you.

Made a wish.

2009-05-25T13:37:00.000+08:00

Grasses are green. But it seems like the lush green grasses you always peep thru your tiny windows, were never under your feet. In the not so close proximity. You wished you were there.

Because of who I am, I can never, one day be who I look up to be.

Ironic as it is, that's how we fight to be stronger each day.

Faithfully;

2009-05-10T22:34:00.000+08:00

We made plans for Sakura buffet, to find out ytd that it has been fully booked. So we could only turn to Bei Sheng, not a very wise choice. Despite all the hassle of crowding outside the restaurant in the humid weather, rushing & lack of the service fr the staff, dishes which ain't entirely satisfying to our stomaches, people still came forward in hope for a wonderous Mother's Day Dinner.

I bought a red carnation on my way there to meet them, knowing only today what it represents. :)

A table full of dishes, with service staff waiting to clear your plates round the clock.

Super hot mum, getting on with the trend even as she aged. She's wearing my sis' top & using my Naraya bag btw. haha.

weeeee, inherited good genes. ha!

with loveeeeeeeeeeeeeee,
Happy Mother's Day!

Life's full of simple surprises.

2009-05-03T23:47:00.000+08:00

I kind of liked the way we are now, enjoying moments together and I hope it remains this way :)

My, I wondered how y'guys scrutinize each and every word on my blog! They are far too straining to the eyes for normal reading. I'll go for large now :)

Labour Day, to be free from labouring but it's getting on my nerves sitting around with nothing much to occupy my time. The human clock in me has been set that I wake up before 9am without fail on no-work days. And today being 1st of May, marked my one month in the working society! :)

I kind of enjoyed emailing with my sis about anything and everything every day at work. I was stunned when I saw a foreign contact in the reply list... and oops! She actually added a client in by mistake:/ hur hur. It has been really some time since we last went shopping together especially now when her wkends are burnt by classes and exams. And so we went window shopping for branded bags one fine Sunday. I only camwhore so much when I am with her and only do irritating things (like camwhoring in the train with all eyes on us, and yet we cont snapping giggling away) with her. What on earth. Then we dashed back for Star Awards and wowed & wooed when we saw Dai Yang Tian, and cursed & sweared when Joanne Peh was announced the Lead actress. What on earth. haha!

my cute lil camera pouch!

Must try: Starbucks Hot Chocolate!

Anyway, I caught 17 again with Sukie after savouring the 1/2 price waffles at Gelare on Tuesday. I remembered my sis asking if I'd watched this show and I said no right away, thinking it'll just be any other lame show only featuring everything bout the hot Zac Efron. But nah, there was actually a plot, a storyline!

A week from now, I am gonna get busy juggling with work and classes. I can't wait to return to being a student again since the last I held a pen and lect notes can be dated back to... 8 or 9 mths ago. But I loathe the thought of having to study for exams.

You, Stand strong :)

from moments to memories.

2009-04-19T16:11:00.000+08:00

Blink, and I was back from Taiwan for more than a month. I craved so much for those food back in Taiwan, which made me felt so cheated for the yucky shui jian bao i bought at the pasar malam, and Mr Baoz from City Sq. They were not only far from what I ate then, but tasted horrible to me. The only item that tasted as great was the japanese snack since it's pre-packed. Get it from Market Place or the Japanese Supermarket at Central. Heavenly!

I am so lazy to post the pictures from Taiwan because there are loads of them, but I want to excite pple with it. haha.

Anw, guessed I've mentioned that we saw Jolin on the day before we came back, bcos the venue of her autograph session is right in front of our hotel. I thought she's really pretty in real life! Slim arms, lean body, big eyes, perfect hairstyle & colour...........

The afternoon before the day we depart was spent at Miramar Entertainment Park/Shopping Mall. So that's the place I always see in drama. I ain't REALLY afraid of height, but i felt like i could die of fear any moment as soon as we were at some height. I totally detest these kind of slow torturing moments. Cable cars, ferris wheel, etc. but I'm still gonna hop on Singapore Flyer thou.

I looked stiff in every picture bcos I dare not move, afraid that the cabin would jerk and fell off, and I die unglamly. At least now, I am alive looking at my unglam shots.

my, you're so hard to resist.

Back then.

2009-04-12T01:38:00.002+08:00

Time check: 1.38am

I know it is against the law of diet, but it keeps me in a foul mood to go to bed in hunger. Being greedy Singaporean, I tabao-ed plenty of food back from city sq for the sake of the worth deal and I simply love buying a lot a lot of food! Auntie Anne's, Secret Recipe, Egg Tarts, Mr Baoz- so much till I wonder who will finish them. Anyway I only had 2 bites of the cheesecake cos it turned out to be the coffee flavoured. Ok, I confessed that I actually came back from Brandon's bbq and ate another egg tart when I got home. Hur hur.

Headed to Tampines One with Ho-Tan Mavis. Singaporeans! They flocked to new places at the very first minute to join the crowd. I am one of them. But the only shop we went was Uniqlo, which we queued for like 1/2 hour before we got into the store. More and more shopping malls are springing up and others are under renovation for expansion. Damn it, I'm feeling uncomfortable from the top to the bottom- I need to shop!

I duno how I am supposed to feel like, to be working when everyone else is busy with university application, to be starting sch in May when everyone else is eagerly waiting for acceptance letter. At the very least I don need to be bothered so much. I set my route and I will walk my path beautifully. I love my job because it doesn't make me dread going to work every morning and somehow I know there are stuffs worth looking forward to. They make me realised that working society can be great, nice people still exist.

There are more important stuff that needs my attention, thou I very much hope to escape from it. You being nice to me at this point of time just makes me feel even worst. I can't let it go like that with the matter of time. Why couldn't you understand and come to your senses?

Strange.

I am not a person who can convince you about good food, or rather the last person you would wished to hear from, be it from the way you see how I enjoy them un-enjoyably, or trying to come up with amazing adjectives & vocab to define every single detail bout its worthiness. Looking at the pictures is enough to get your taste buds go wild, and stop swallowing so hard so that you won't drool.

Avee's Guide: Top 15 Must-try!

1~ Original Flavored Egg Tarts from KFC 葡式蛋侤撻
Available only after breakfast hour. There are a few different flavors to choose from. We'd original & kyushu sweet potato, and concluded that original's the best. The crispy crust, soft & fine texture of the fillings, everything just melts in your mouth. Every bite sends you to heaven. & srz actually bought the original egg tart box consisting of 6 heavenly tarts home :)

2~ Fried Egg Roll 蛋餅
Resembles Egg Crepe you can get from Shilin outlets in sg, only difference is that it tastes way better. The skin of the wrap is very chewy & Q, with combination of egg, cheese, floss. The famous Yong Heng Dou Jiang (located jus opp Eat Dragon Hotel) sells these too, but a random store we went jus opp Cityhall station were as satisfying.

3~ Pon De Ring from Mister Donut 波堤

http://www.misterdonut.com.tw/product/index.htm
The packaging is enough to lure you inside the shop to have a peek at the selection of donuts. All the 甜甜圈 are soft and chewy, far from donuts you find in sg which taste very dough-y. Best consumed immediately bcos the 六小富 I left overnight weren't as yummy. The have promotions after a certain timing at night to clear the stocks, and they have everything packed nicely for you.

4~ 30-cm Ice Cream from Luo Dong Night Market 巨无霸霜淇淋
The legendary 30-cm tall ice cream! I figured it's more like bing-qi-ling rather den xue-gao, bcos of the icy texture. The shaving of the ice is very fine & the chocolate taste is strong which explains why we haave to had it despite the cold weather. Available quite commonly at the night markets (3rd pic from Dan shui).

5~ Green Onion Pancake from Luo Dong Night Market 葱油饼

I was kind of hostile for trying intially since it's cong. It will be a major regret if I did not try it. It smells nice, surprisingly. Perhaps we added egg which covers every tinge bit of onion taste. They match it with some kind of sause, and the combination is perfect. Pardon me, i don't have a perfect shot to explain how tempting it is. The stall (3rd pic) in Shilin has an extremely long queue so we'd to give it a miss cos we were shivering in 12degc.

6~ Dumplings from Liu Ho Night Market 饺子
The 1st dish we'd when we're at Liu Ho, and I secretly wanted to try it again before we head back to our hotel. Everything about it remains deeply engraved in my mind. I thought it was really really near to perfect. Sold at TWD 4cents each, with minimum purchase of 10. If you wished to eat in, minimum of 10 per pax! I can't imagine swallowing 10 at 1 go so we ordered take away.

7~ Blended Fruit Drink from Luo Dong Night Market 水果牛奶冰

I think i can never find such authentic original fruity drinks in sg, with generous amount of cut fruits to top it up. The fruits are sweet & succulent. The bright colours of different fruits displayed makes u wanna buy them all to try!

8~ Tong Luo Shao from Luo Dong Night Market
We happened to pass by the stall on our way back to hotel & thought we make it our breakfast. I didn't know that these can taste so nice bcos those I'd in sg were like dry & hard. But no! They were soft & tasty and red bean inside were huge and sweet. Even random ones I bought at 7-Eleven tasted good. Hmm, maybe you equally as ignorant as me with no childhood- I got to know that Tong Luo Shao's Doremon's fave only at Taoyuan Airport. Ha-Ha.
The best picture I could find on the internet. Mine looks way more tempting, with cute cartoon characters...

9~ Ah Zong Mee Sua from Shilin Night Market 阿宗面缐
Needless to mention, this is definitely a must-try. Adding chili to the hot dish makes you sweat & near to bursting into tears. Shiok. Dine-in available with plenty of seats- seats only.

10~ Japanese Strawberry Snack from 7-Eleven
Random snack we bought from 7-11 to munch while on the train to Kaohsiung. Turned out to be surprising pleasing. It has texture of biscuit buts melts in your mouth. Eating a whole pack by yourself won't make you get sick of it, but tempts you to run to 7-11 for more! I saw similar ones at Market Place, RC only at a much higher price of cos.

11~ Mala Hot Pot Buffet from Fei Tian Mala Hotpot
One look at the small range of food displayed indeed led to some disappointment. But my view changed after dining in, because food were great, staff are nice. I kept complaining to the staff why there isn't chocolate ice cream available.. haha and in the end he dug out 2 peanut-chocolate coated ice cream for us before going to another outlet. Dipping the you-tiao into the mala soup bound to trigger your taste bud. I love the noodles and the seasame mochi as well. There's also plenty of fruits, drinks, ice cream. Worth it :)

12~ Panda Buns from Mr Baoz in Yilan 包子先生
I've no idea to say that we were in luck or out of luck. After spending time at the waterfall in Yilan, we were searching high & low for Mr Baoz. We asked for directions from various locals and after a damn long walk, we were led to some famous store selling tradtional buns. I mean famous till the extend they get pple coming just to buy the buns in bulk, and the queue is always there waiting for batches of baos hot from the steam tray. It was only when we were on our way back from Luo dong Night Market that we chance upon Mr Baoz. Damn it so you are at Luo Dong! Ok, I guess we were in luck:)
The popular panda bao was the best, comes in 3 flavors if i din rmbr wrongly. Filled with rich red beans paste. A pity we only tried it back in our hotel when it turned cold. It even taste so good, bet it's heavenly when steaming hot.

13~ Potato Chip Hotdog from Liu Ho Night Market 热狗
You can find this commonly anywhere in night market or along the streets at night but this is the only store with patterns for the coating & flavours. We'd the potato chip crust (on the extreme right), and it was so very crunchy. There's even cheese toppings. Oh, sinful.....

14~ Nai You Bing from Dan Shui 奶油饼
Smells good, taste good. I duno how to describe how wonderful it is. Other goodies in the store was as tempting.

15~ Sweet tooth from Cold Stone Creamery
I think it taste even better than Ben & Jerry. The servings are filling to our tummies, the waffle crust is crispy, the texture of ice cream is smooth, the taste is authentic, the strawberry flavour I had is rich. From the first day we saw the advertisement in Xi Men Ding we wanted to give it a try, but called off the idea cos of the unhelpful weather. So when we were in Kaoh Siung, we knew we had to have it. You would want to lick the last bit off your bowl haha..

Of course, there are more delicacies worth trying that I almost wanted to list down 20 rather than 15. Like the Mochi from Yilan's famous bakery, red bean dumpling from Din Tai Fung, Modern Toilet Resturant, Mua Chee from roadside stall, all the desserts, etc...

and gosh. i really do miss Taiwan & the food so much when i passed by Pasar Malam yesterday and saw the shui jian bao, tong luo shao................ *tummy growls*

The Golden Key!

2009-04-02T21:51:00.000+08:00

The previous post, together with a series of letters with clues are actually efforts for Ms See's Key to Freedom celebration. It was kinda lame but we din have much time for preparation. Started of with a Letter of Acceptance by NBS we faked out, with instructions to come to my blog for the clue, leading her to JP Stormz for hair chemical svcs. My sis suggested makeover which I thought was really fun, but I reckon Ms See will be hysterical throughout the photoshoot. So anw, I rushed down after work for the celebration at San Francisco Bay at BV. Came across pretty good reviews about the newly operated western store. Not too bad an experience with overly-friendly staff who kept smiling at weiming, but food was a lil not much of proportion & salty. I didn't try the pizza with purple sauce! Chilling out at bar plans turned out to Esplanade... Makan Sultra selling disgusting sugar cane juice and merely-a-few-oyster oyster omelet. A very simple celebration but feels great chatting nonsense and planning next meet up.

Happy Birthday ah Joyce :)

Celebrating having you onboard with us!

It's amazing how talking to a friend can make you calm down and feel so much better. He may not realised it, but lil things he did, minor things tht he bother to rmbr will make you feel good. At least you will be aware tht you presence is felt. The person closest to you may not seem to know you the best. Anw, it's also way too cool to have a friend emailing you from overseas. Everything feels so much like when I'm reading a book, the sentence structures & the way they put things into words.

Reading pple's blog can really affect your mood, in the sense that your happiness/joy/sadness is contagious. I am not in the mood where I can pretend I am flying hard up in the sky, adding the whoo! ah! yea! But Avee will stand strong. It's time to face the world.

I haven't had the chance to enjoy the Swensens 1-for-1 lunch treat, & the same goes for Shokudo Bento Lunch and Hardrock Cafe. Aww, no more chances. What a waste.

Understatement.

I woke up this morning, stare into space all the while. So.. it's in a mess and I hate this feeling because everything is not within my control. I just don't wish the worst to happen. Sometimes I don't really know myself. I rather shun everyone else out of the picture & keep things to myself. Perhaps I just dun want pple to see thru my mask.

Sometimes, somethings truly pains n hurts. Ugly thgs.

Shaped by circumstances. I've learnt.

& i wonder who i can turn to.

Hitting the right path

2009-03-25T00:29:00.003+08:00

If I were to think back for every regretful decision I made, likely tht it can account to more den a million. Perhaps this is why I grew to leave everything to whr fate would bring me or in the custody's of someone else. From tiny lil things like why I bought that pair of shoes, to future-affecting decisions why I chose DTRM 3 years back instead of design, I could only reproach myself. And my own way of encouraging myself & drill the fact into my head that there's no way back since I made the decision not to be led by the usual practice/custom, is to constantly remind myself I can't possibly afford to be like anyone of you. I'm only left with the option of running ahead of others, & I will do it good. In between the reality tht forced me to make a one-way ticket decision, there are still beautiful things in life which is worth my smile. :)

As well as things tht makes u wanna kick pple in their ass. Gosh.

Then fallen, Now learning.

2009-03-19T19:58:00.000+08:00

HI HELLO. I LOVE MY BED PILLOW BOLSTER. I AM GOING BACK TO TAIWAN AGAIN. I NEED TO LOSE HALF OF MY CURRENT WEIGHT TO BE LIKE ANY TAIWANESE GIRLS YOU GRABBED ALONG THE STREETS. LOOKING AT THE NICELY TAKEN PICTURES OF THE DELICACIES CAN SERIOUSLY MAKE ME DROOL. I'D MORE THAN 1000 PICTURES THERE. SPORE IS SO FREAKING WARM. MY SKIN IS OVERLY DRY MY HAIR ARE SO BRITTLE. I FEEL SO USELESS NOW THAT I'M BACK TO REALITY. I WANNA FLY AGAIN. WITH MY SIS. NEXT TARGET.

I have not felt truly happy, nor smile from the bottom of my heart for some time. I have no clue what's with me or perhaps this is the symptom of growing up- age and laughter are in reverse order. I am never feeling at ease, not like there are a thousands stuff for me to worry, but I just feel that something is missing, something is not right. I have been avoiding, and will still be escaping for the next week. But I know I loathe the way I am now.

I just feel like going for a run, to shout at the top of my lungs, to burst out crying.

I wished I'd money enough for me to do the things I want to, at least it'll take away some of my worries.

Guide me.

Glad tht it got off my mind

2009-02-11T21:37:00.002+08:00

According to dictionary.com, "spinster" refers to a woman still unmarried beyond the usual age of marrying. So i ain't no spinster but a young lady still waiting for fairytales to happen. haha!

I hate to mention this, but time really flies passed so fast that you do not have the chance to pause for a breather. How we wished time can freeze, or turn anti-clockwise. I wished too. Just three more days and we are off the cage towards freedom, which also means aimless. Though how much I secretly wished that my alarm will not go off every morning at 6.30am, I have to admit I might (& most probably) missed my 5 months in RiTZ. No doubt the initial path was tough, but I grew to realise this is how reality was meant to be. As the months passed, we grew to understand more things, very interesting things and there are countless fun moments I'd working there. I think I shall save other thoughts till next week. Afterall, there's Thursday, Friday, Saturday to go!

I've got no tinge bit of clue for what's next, but I am so looking forward to BKK shoppings, Taiwan honeymoon, hotel partying, catching up with family/friends, idling & snugging at home and lots & lots of relaxation activities. Leave the worries for later and enjoy to the max first!

For the past 5 months apart from work, it's still work and occasionally some entertainment. For this, I feel that I kind of forgone the time to spend with my family, especially realised so after my father met with an accident last week. Nothing too serious, but ah pa had to have a week's off. During this period, we had more chance to catch up with him, talk to him & spend time together. Ah jie was telling me the other day that she was afraid that when she'd to leave him to find his way back cos of an appointment, he might be so blur to lose his way. Cos afterall, he's been car-bound for so long. I believed a lot of pple will feel the same way: You felt that your mum & dad have aged so much when u finally had the time to take a close look at them. Sometimes, I didn't even had the chance to speak to my father for days, let alone seeing him. Mama too, but she'll still call us each to ask if we're coming home for dinner. So, one of my resolution (to be enacted after itp) is to spend quality time with them.

I love my family. I love my friends too :)

*Yawns* Off for mask~

he says, you listened.

The year of Ox is arriving in 24 hours 40 mins! Nothing too exciting about new year itself but I do enjoyed having an excuse to shop, doing spring cleaning, going for prep shopping with family and the taste of the festive mood. Though the festive atmosphere isn't like past years and I didn't had the chance to really shop. Spring cleaning only started today which was very very very tiring. If there's a best CNY mood award, my place would have it.. just like any other years. But it's good, at least there's some sort of family warmth spending this festival together.

fifteen days and counting...
good that we had some time off after offical PH before heading back for the final lap. I can't wait for shopping sprees in BKK!

Pictures after CNY. You'll be amazed by my lovely-cnyly-decoration house :)

GONG HEI FAT CHOY!!!!

you after you afterall.

2009-01-18T21:43:00.000+08:00

Alright, joyce i am updating but make sure you ain't reading this during office hour at the small cosy corner of yours. haha! :D

like the same way it goes...

A route without vows.

2009-01-01T16:36:00.004+08:00

Perhaps better.

Happy 2009!

Countdown this year was kind of special. Revival 2009 Countdown at Hyatt with the bustling crowd. Absolutely love the moment when everyone chorus 3, 2 , 1 HNY! And walking along the streets everywhere with people greeting & wishing you. I must admit srz & I were abit giggle-ish the entire train journey which is the funniest part of all. I start appreciating festive seasons.. love it to the max!

And to all friends I have not spoke to or seen for a while, really glad to receive forwarded textes from y'guys. Thou' to speak the truth, more than half of the time i don't read them hahaha. but still, it's heart warming to know that someone out there still remember you. Good year ahead for you, fellow mates :)

Flash back 2008: I see alot, learnt alot, think alot and definitely grew up. Stepping beyond the phase of a teen is not smth one anticipates. Idk about o9, cos i choose to run... we'll see :)

Goodbye 2008. Chapter closed.

With love,

that was a whole 365

2008-12-30T20:20:00.001+08:00

Falling sick on the eve of eve isn't the best gift to end 2008 with. It was kind of a struggle when my alarm triggered this morning, but aching body & heavy head sets in so I could only call in for MC. I used to brag how fit I am cos I rarely fall sick. But ever since internship commenced, today was the third time. First was the very week I started work which I blamed the laborious hours under the sun for F1 race. Second was during the period I was so tied up with Autodesk event. Both was just plain serious flu & cough. This time round's bcos of the fever which makes me extremely uncomfortable despite rolling in bed the entire day. How do I hold the entire tmr at work, how do i hold the countdown at Hyatt? Pssst! I wanna join the fun at countdown de lah! :(

Christmas this year was memorable maybe bcos I have no memories of celebrating in the past years. I love gift exchanges, from shopping for the most suitable gift for that person to seeing his/her expression when he/she unwraps the gift. Definately worth the squeezing amongst the horrendous crowd at gift stores.

The first half of the eve was spent at a X'mas Lunch event held at O'learys. It was an indescribable feeling of fear when I came to know the news about the S'Flyer, & the heavy downpour on the actual morning. Reason being O'learys was located at S'Flyer & fear of the operation being affected was intense, and heavy rain which might really deter the group from taking the river cruise. Good thing the event went all well.
Dinner with srz & 1.66 (ho gave a miss becos of drew! haha) at Ichiban Sushi and without much plans plus the fact we didn't wanted to get stucked in the crowd in town, we headed back to my place in hope to count down peacefully. Wrong move! hahahahahhaha but anw, it was good chilling out & bunking in with each other. Love this feeling :)

Post x'mas at Fisherman's Wharf with chen & yan (jie was plcuking berries in Cameron Highland! haha) after our work. Lousy food but great company followed by Cafe Iguana before heading home because I had to wake up early for work the next day.

Then Sunday was gift exchange with Sukie. We were planning to settle at this Western restuarant at The Cathay but the queue was amazingly long so we head to Cartel with my fave freeflow bread loaf :) Thanks for the gifts specially flown in from Japan & i love my gift to you so so much! hahaha. The sad moment came when I made request to meet for lunch cos I wanna return home to catch the shows on cable tv.... to find out that those free channels got cut off. Right that day! So depressing can! No more channel surfing, no more taiwanese variety shows, no luck to catch the telecast of countdown 2009 in Taiwan :(

Thank You all for the presents :)

I'm seriously feeling very awful now. Hope tmr will be good.

Happy Golden Birthday to my best friend cum lovely sister.
SMOOCHES!
I wonder how it feels like to be a year end baby haha :)

Shadows of you surfacing, dreams with you returning

Hello,

Updates rolling in soon.

Growing up but missing out

2008-11-23T08:05:00.006+08:00

Hi,

The digital clock on my laptop reads 8:06 AM. It sure makes me sad listening to that song.

It seems to me that i am unable to create a smooth flow for what i have to say, so I'm just gonna blabber whatever that comes to my mind.

Life like every other thing, is a contradict itself. Right now, I hate growing up because of the clueless direction I am heading. But it's not like I have an option so i am practically living my life on a day by day basis which is what they called aimless. Well, actually this isn't my agenda so let's skip the sorrows. Afterall, family is still the best companion. Home is still the best place.

I met up with Sukie on Friday straight after my meeting for dinner at KR's. It's kind of funny when now, we are speaking in the switch position. Like once, all she talked about was JBP & i would shared with her the happenings in campus. She, having gone through what i am going through at work, and I, having gone through what she is going through in school just throw suggestions & opinions at each other. Time really flies, especially at this juncture, idky.

Work, sometimes I dread the mornings to a much extend. But then, the day just pass and a week. We were always bombarded with questions like 'How has things been going so far?', 'What have you learnt?', etc. What i truly think is useful about the internship is all the negative stuff we are going through. It's just a matter of time when we will be exposed to the ugly side of world. Well, not exactly only bad things luh. Rather, the working society, connections with people. It makes me grow up in the sense that i will think more than what i used to think in school, i understand that there are much more concerns for each issue. Soon, the 20 weeks will be gone. No matter how much i sometimes wished that Valentine's will be tomorrow, I will definitely miss every single thing i detest now.

I was browsing FaceBook just now which sometimes i don get what's so interesting with all those games people got so addictive to. What i like is because it gets my kaypoh hormones triggered! Seeing pictures of disney they uploaded, the feeling is just so weird. They were the people who sat beside you during lectures, gossiped with over lunch, went out with together. All in like half a year ago, and now they are at the other side of the universe, living in the magical world every kid in us loves. But i reckon I can never live alone abroad because I rely very much on my family, be it emotional or what.

Anyhow, I just d/led another photo editing program which i think it's so interesting even before i use it (becuase i've no new pics to edit). There's so much icons to play with!

Next week is sure gonna be busy. SRZ is flying :(

X'mas Party anyone?

No one knows.

2008-11-16T16:35:00.002+08:00

PS. Picture heavy.

EPISODE ONE: CHEN'S 18 (+3)

SMOOCHES :)

This little brat actually played cards with the 3 of us thru the night till 5am in the morning and still looked so energetic! He taught the 3 lao jie jie new games even. Damn smart!

EPISODE TWO: 1.66'S 18 (+1)

*all unable to open eyes bcos the flash is too bright!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Let's hope every day can be so wonderful...........

Our fond memories...

2008-11-13T22:40:00.000+08:00

Pa & Ma along with Da Jiu, Dua Ghim went to Genting Highland for some getaway gambling session on Monday. Now, the thing is they never ever left the 3 of us alone (despite us being grown up). It has always been any one of us going overseas to Taiwan, HK, etc. I guess they were so worried we wouldn't be able to survive or eat well without them around, so on Sunday i got home in the afternoon to find lots of rations. My mum even boiled extra water and bottled it having to worry we don't know how to do it ourselves (well, perhaps yes for me). Anw, 2 days of sleeping in the master bedroom is shiok shiok and made waking up an even more dreadous thing on earth. On Tuesday, sis even rushed home from work and made yummy pasta for the 3 of us.
It wasn't much of a difference to me actually but sis says she missed them so much!
As always, the only way of them showing love & concern is by making us FAT, so papa bought loads of junk food back. There's this cookie which i thought wasn't too bad as i thought it would be. It even matches a lil to Famous Amos i swear!

Back track to last week, on Saturday was Chen's big 21 and I had to cab down from Sheraton Towers after work. Basically the entire day i was whining to srz how i wished to be there with them for the decorating & preparation. Believe it or not, I never had a birthday party my whole 19 years and I'm so looking forward to one! Glad the board touches her... few nights of effort paid off :)

If anyone would have seen on Facebook, u would know I took 45 mins to reach office for a 10-min bus ride from Paya Lebar on Tuesday after my meeting. I practically toured the whole of Tanjong Katong, went to East Coast Park area, even to Marine Parade. The worst isn't this. But i shan't disclose how dumb i am on that day. sheesh. Tuesday's not too good a day, for me and for srz.

Meanwhile, awaits more detailed updates.......

Shimmering stars, fallen.

2008-10-27T16:16:00.001+08:00

WHY ISSIT THAT WHEN I SET MY HEART TO GO JOGGING ON THAT PARTICULAR DAY (LIKE TODAY & LAST SUNDAY), IT ALWAYS POUR LIKE PEE & POO! GEESHHHHHHHH

*************

Eating prawn mee as earlier as 9am on a Saturday morning, the first thing when you reach the office, was exactly what I did. Eating a lunch's portion of rice which prolly was the total of what i used to eat in a week is becoming a norm. I eat decent meals & proper food plus junk food everyday. I guess I would probably have tasted all the famous delicacies in Singapore by the end of my internship. It will be no wonder if you people can't recognize me 5 months later. No, 1.66, we wouldn't slim down, not anymore.

FRI (Manhattan, Indochine): SAT (Waraku, Yoga): SUN (Partyworld, Pasa Malam)

photofunia's kind of cool. we were experimenting in the office!
&&, 4 more months to go. . . . .

euphonious vow.

2008-10-19T15:43:00.002+08:00

For a start, I've no kicks as to what to say. Today is finally a rest day at home & I'm slowly savouring the time I have. There're many things running thru my mind, as a grown-up who is supposed to give a thought about her future, as a child who is supposed to lighten the burdens of her parents, as a societal member (if there's a phrase like this?) who is supposed to be armed & ready for the crisis, as an intern staff who is supposed to give in her best during the 5 months to best prepare herself for the rocky roads ahead, as a friend who is supposed to provide encouragement & suggestions to others, as me who is supposed to give myself some positive self-talk & discipline.

We had a long chat with Mr Lim, or rather listening to him. The things he said makes total sense and is indeed inspiring. But what I hate most is this kind of feeling where I was hit with the same old question- What do I wanna do in the future? Simple reason being I have absolutely no ideas about it and not even bothered to truly give a thought. All I did perhaps was to run away from it, & keep mumbling grumbling "i duno wad to do".
Attitude & Discipline, I admire the him for his determination to do things he wanted to do. I know it's no point rushing myself for anything, because I know myself very well what my heart is thinking. The drive isn't here yet. I shall fine-tuned myself & set my heart for it. To begin with, a jog in the evening! :) (Cheese, looks like it's going to rain.)

Work is getting better but sadded sadsad Tim & Sam are leaving end of the month. I don't know if I should say it is only the 3rd week or should I said it has already been 3 weeks. The former because we still have a long 17 weeks marathon, the latter because it feels like I've been there for so long. Anyhow, we are still lucky that this period is so called peak season so we've chances to participate in more events. First up was a graduation cum mixology competition at Balaclava last Sunday. A taste of how an events run from a backstage point of view thou we did nothing much. There's much more to learn in time to come. Cheerios!

Other than these, my life so far is like a typical working adult. Waking up every morning hoping the alarm wont go off, hopping on the ever-so-packed train, dozing off on the bus, working, catching a movie/shopping/dining/catch up with friends/gossiping, got home fell asleep right at the moment u touch your bed and before you realised, the alarm went ringggggg again.

p/s the thunderstorm is scaring the freak outta me!

the happily-ever-after post

2008-10-05T18:20:00.003+08:00

much like a breeze to even catch a glimpse

p/s Life's not like a movie. we can't replay nor rewind.

19 wishes of you.

24/09 Wednesday
I just drank a glass of Bordeaux or smth and I can feel the gastric juices gushing all directions. I was hoping i could sleep in earlier tonight bcos i'm so drained & there's many stuff to do tmr. Anw papa made dinner today- star potatoes, fries, fried har gau, chicken wings, grilled fish, beans, eggs. He's sucha great cook. My partner in the future must be too (giggles)! Caught Mamma Mia with mk & his 2 friends at AMK Hub just now. The show's great and i love the songs! His friends are equally funny haha. Headed to Sq2 with him to buy ingredients for his Korean meal (& he texted me few moments ago saying it was a failure haha!)

Oh, the masks are here. Tell me when y'guys wanna collect them :)

22/09 Monday
srz (mentally) dragged me to gym in the morning before headed for massive foot exercises tgt with 1.66 at orchard, bugis & ms. Damn, no more 1.50SGD to gym anymore haha. Had great time shopping tho I was really really tired. We were constantly in search of not-so-office-wear kind of office wear. AND i'm so freaking gek bcos i saw replica of the dress i bought for $20+ online everywhere n Bugis St. What's more disheartening is tht my.body.is.not.long.enough. :(

21/09 Sunday
Starbucks with Mavis while we waited for the Grand Prix briefing at Suntec. Our uniforms are awful. Good thing I'm posted to Gate 1A with hoho which is where all the VVIPs will enter thru woooo! Luckily the training ended before 7pm and had quick dinner with zzb at HK Cafe before celebrations at Long Bar. Great night, thank you i love y'guys!

pics at Facebook :)

20/09 Saturday
Simple dinner at Shokudo with sukie. Music Dreamer Live! cafe was really cool and we stayed till near closing. I was really surprised with the arrangements & efforts of sukie. It's really nice to sit there for hours listening to the lame jokes of the singers and their vocals. Thank you!

19/09 Friday
Delectable dishes at Soup Restaurant with family for combined celebrations for mama & I. :)

16/09 Tuesday
Tanning with Mavis at Sentosa. It was extremely sunny and shiok. Yummy lunch at Subway, wonderful window shopping, and ended with desserts at Ben&Jerry. I love tanning!

15/09 Monday
Sukie's 19th. So sorry I almost couldn't find the Tong Shui cafe. haha but still, Happy Birthday! 5 years and on :)

2008-09-19T22:53:00.000+08:00

*blurps* i'm still super full from the finger-lickin'-gd dinner at Soup Restuarant.
=)

p/s. srz is lame!

Everything in life has a place (& when one thing goes)

2008-09-19T15:36:00.000+08:00

I'm trapped in the 4-walls of mine for 2 days, feeling seriously bored. Except all other normal human routines, I've been watching Hot Shot (omg! super funny!), KHYY, reading, packing my room, day dreaming and nthg else..

There's so many things on my mind now. Putting on a front & acting the reverse way is just hoping to cover up how scared i actually feel. I may have thought of ways to salvage, but I don't have the courage to do so. And life at this stage isn't promising nor fun. We are often hit by the same few questions about our future. It's not up to me not to worry a tinge bit when some people may have alr lay a perfect path ahead. There were endless things I wished I have done, & stuff that I hope to do. That aside, I met a sec sch friend of mine a few days back on my way home. It's really nice to catch up with old friends, just so it feels the same while i chatted with Mr Tang on msn whom i've not spoke to for zillion years. haha, what i'm trying to put across is that i like this kind of feeling, of catching up with old mates.

I feel like eating sizzler! I wanna go tanning again next week! =)

Talk to me, you speak with me
Don’t sink before you rise baby, don’t fade away
You hesitate, you seem to wait
For all the time we had, feels like a world away

Who’s to say, we’ll be ok
We will make it through the night, don’t wanna wake up in this state
I just want us both to smile cause we’re the same

And I know that we’ll will never change
Look I bought your favourite ice cream, I don’t want to see it melt away
If you walk out now I don’t know if we could be the same baby
Just talk with me
Cause’ I want you to stay here with me
I want you to stay here with me

The true identity.

2008-09-14T01:49:00.003+08:00

For once, my fingers shall be quick in editing and updating of recent events.

[add]
Before that, I'd love to proudly announced that I finally finished watching 命中 after elephant years, I met up Ms.Teoh after elephant years, & I actually cleaned the elephant years of dusts off the mini fridge, washing machine, dish dryer area till bling*bling*!!! =)

I was on the phone with my sis ytd night, & she was bragging how cheap the stuff were in HK. I regretted not exploring enough last feb when I was there. Anw, she'll stock up my majorca eyeliner and fake eye lashes for me :)
[/add]

For all the time we had feels like a world away

2008-09-07T23:32:00.001+08:00

This isn't supposed to feel distant. We would have combed the whole of Chatuchak, cursed & swear at the atrocious weather, gotten rid of 1 kilo thru' extensive sweating.

To cheer myself up:

funny to me will do. HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

p/s. Dear Diary, you are TWO.

part II:

2008-08-17T23:11:00.000+08:00

Every single incident seems to exist to hit me harder, further and deeper.
Will tmr be a better day?

Aug 17 looks familiar.

All that happens when your dream comes true is a slow, melting realisation that it wasn't what you thought.

2008-08-17T18:27:00.004+08:00

Will someone just do something to make me feel a little better?
okay. that was yesterday but i din have time to blog it :X
but still, I needa life! after exams... ... ...

Meanwhile, school's like ~~past~~ history.

To SRZ/1.66:
Can u enlighten me when to change the calculator to rad/deg mode for tht i-detest-most integrals of trigonometry fxn!

p/s. am not getting back to books. it's table tennis at 7.30 y'know! Take a breakie! :)
& oh, i MUST MUST mention that 溏心风暴 is so so so so superb! im waiting for bo-si-co!

a title you create.

2008-08-12T20:57:00.002+08:00

Boy, i felt so guilty for ignoring your calls and texts for the first, second, third.. and endless times. I swear I din do it on purpose initially. Ahhh but i guessed there's no return if not i'll have to cough up story which i'm incapable of doing so. I really feel damn bad bout it. I am sucha pig. I duno why there are so many unknown incoming calls recently, which most I didn't managed to pick up cos my phone was (& is constantly on) silent phone. Ha, I should have thrown my phone into water.

I spent an hour and a half this afternoon eating the enough-to-feed-a-pig's serving of lunch while finishing up with final 30 mins of L Change the World and then Olympics. I think more of the time were spent looking at the guys. Nah, I like to watch swimming, gymnasium, synchronized diving and the females for weight-lifting seriously look like hulk to me. Oops, but they damn power, since i could only lift 0.5kg on each hand at the gym.

Anw, I've made up my mind to definitely further my studies because I don wanna let 080808 be my last campus day in my life! Not quite sure of what exactly but leave those to later on lah. I'm one with no goals, no ambition, so what? I can live a fulfilling life too. Gah, am not that optimistic always. Anyhow anyway, I miss school. I woke up on monday morning and wondered how will it be like to be at RM's tutorial again. No more cwp....................................

If I had only one wish, I'd like to turn back time.

Long Long time ago.....

Cao Ge's Welcome To My World

Wine Appreciation

she's HIGH HIGH HIGH alr!

pictures ain't obvious, but 1.66, srz & sf were all lobster RED! :D

more than wishes.

2008-08-03T01:30:00.001+08:00

It's kind of........................................................ unbelievable.
It seemed like only yesterday that we were in the beginning of year 3, getting used to lectures being so empty w/o 02/05.
But now, 5 more days.
WOW.
am looking forward to itp thou :)

The most amazing thing happened today.
I accidentally cut myself quite deep on my finger with a blade, bled like mad. I realised i'm superrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr afraid of pain. Anw, I was trying to cleanse the wound in the kitchen, felt giddy, blackout, thumph!
I still can't figure how I fainted & fell in the store room. so that resulted in a bruise on my arm.
The whole incident was so funny. Qiuhua can faint too! Best part is all those while, my pig sis was sleeping inside her room luh.

I have a strong healthy body.

SHOPPING!
hello victor, where's my pay?

ok. abrupt.
off to mountain resorts=)

8, ... 3, 2, 1.

2008-07-30T22:47:00.002+08:00

Happy Birthday to boyfriend :)

Yippie, there's Mr Bean at Dover MRT!
but why only when I'm left with 7 days of future there?

Dear laopok sch, I will miss you in the days that come..

2008-07-27T12:52:00.002+08:00

No, it's not with me to measure the extent of truth.
Or rather, i chose to believe it wasn't true.

You are still who you are in my eyes.
Just a matter of say, u'd failed.

My life,
too good.

p/s. I WANNA GET SHOW'S DVD!

now, too late, to turn it around.

2008-07-26T23:21:00.000+08:00

Today, 39 more minutes to go.
...

I think I need more sleep than I need to blog.

Ok, screwed it. Am gonna update for my own memory & reference sake. I don't wish to look back in my archive and find nthg in a year's time.

So, today was a bon and relaxing day I forgot I could also have! I woke up few quarts before noon, did my mathematics tutorial, laze back on my bed and fell back asleep. The next moment when I opened my eyes, the mahjong khakis were alr having their usuals and parents bought fish burger for me. Them being so nice, I could not bear to admit the buffet & desserts from ytd were still having their place in my tummy. Then, I spend the rest of the day before sis came back editing photos/doing math assignment. And had a great laugh editing pics in the presence of my dad/writing a complaint letter. Oo, I watched Go, Go, Jacky too.

Yesterday, the day before, the whole of last week, the previous weeks and many weeks earlier... It was definitely more than just projects that took up my precious youthful time. There were few lousy shows that I watched, RQ's bdae celebration, F1 job interview, mini shopping, Cao Ge's concert, Newton Food Centre, wine appreciation, Napfa test, sis' bdae, ok I don't rmbr which are those I mentioned before, or did not do so. You can have a look at my organiser if you are seriously interested.

Even projects, there are elements of fun in it. Am sure gonna miss them, miss school, miss class, miss cwp! Holala, I was so high when I received an attendance warning letter! But trust me, I am a student with good conduct. I just so happened that I was late for class on a few occasions. Pretty girls are like that, ask me sis :)

Happy Birthday ah jie:)

tomatoes bigger than apples

2008-07-10T19:29:00.006+08:00

It may seem nothing special.

but, comparing with a 15-cm ruler

it is actually the size of my palm

so enormous tht it could probably cover mama's face.

okay, i was VERY amazed by it.

in case you didn't know how normal tomatoes should size, get up & open ya fridge.

lost, and never found

2008-07-10T05:55:00.000+08:00

it’s all set, but i can’t help being sad..

Oh man. The reason why I'm always up like 4am every morning these days is because am basically immune to my hp alarm. I seriously intended to snooze an hour or so only at night but ended up being awoken by mama who was getting ready for work at this kind of hours. & what to do to kill this guilt?

so sick! can't bring myself to like school for god's sake!
plus there's NO motivation this week gee

your life too far from mine

2008-07-06T21:24:00.002+08:00

2008-07-06T04:12:00.002+08:00

Part I

EEKS! IT TOTALLY FREAKS ME OUT AT THE THOUGHT OF COCKROACHES SCURRYING ACROSS THE SAME FLOOR I STEP ON EVERY DAY. AND I JUST SAW IT, LIKE RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT. MY HOUSE IS SO INFESTED THAT I SERIOUSLY THINK WE NEED PEST CONTROL.
There will be no ends if i start sharing experiences (unfortunately) with these eekers. Like the other time during MST period when i was trying hard to concentrate in my room, the idiotic lizard kept diverting my attention as it marathon the four walls. & another was a night after i returned from work, I saw this fat cockroach in e living room. I need to protect myself! so I stuff the door gap of my room with towels. Ants are too common, I kill without opening my eyes now. Killer!

Part II

Nyctalopia is a condition making it difficult or impossible to see in relatively low light. It is a symptom of several eye diseases. Night blindness may exist from birth, or be caused by injury or malnutrition (Vit A). The outer area of the retina is made up of more rods than cones. The rod cells are the cells that enable us to see in poor illumination. This is the reason why loss of side vision often results in night blindness. Individuals suffering from night blindness not only see poorly at night, but also require some time for their eyes to adjust from brightly lit areas to dim ones. Contrast vision may also be greatly reduced.
The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) of Vitamin A per day for women 14 years old & above is 700μg. Sources of vitamins A are liver, carrots, sweet potatoes, papayas, mangoes, spinach, butter, pumpkin, egg, peas, apricots, broccoli, kale, cantaloupe melon, etc. Obviously, a picky person like me doesn't consume more than 5 of the above mentioned. But i think i need to starting eating more... bring me mangoes ah see!

Part III

It's like 4+am now. Papa's already awake making coffee and getting ready for work. There's still a long list on my post-it note waiting impatiently to be strike off. The previous week was extremely packed, but fully utilized- shopping, ktv, hang out w/ sec sch mates, movie, night safari. And..... tummy is growling like mad now. A big packet of chicken rice 'nough to feed a pig was 11 hours ago. i miss mac breakfast:(

p/s. am glad i chose to be myself afterall, i don't really need to care how you see me & i don't have to go against my will to do things so torturous. Be the spark:)

anw, awwww so gay. hahahahahhahaahahah

365 back & ago, tears & misses.

2008-07-01T00:33:00.002+08:00

I'm fine.
I need more time, like ALOT more please.

Where are my perks?

2008-06-17T22:35:00.001+08:00

It's always when exams are round the corner that I feel the stress, and I hate it totally. My self-discipline was eaten up as years go by, and I could no longer mug diligently like I used to. I am wayyyyyy lagging behind, that is despite drawing up such a pretty schedule. ROARS! Every once I think of the endless knowledge to be stored inside my mind, there's nothing but shivers & fears. Days of nothing-but-notes will continue for the rest of the entire week.
On a positive note, I won't spent a single cent since I am surviving on salads & bread. Eh no, I just went down to the minimart to replenish my rations and spending a measly few bucks can cause me such heartache. Blame it on the splurging. Excessive splurging. & this reminds me that sis' returning tmr night.. can't wait to see her loots from HK!

Good Luck! I'm spending my night with ASM and IMIT.. savouring the power of every word under the moonlight. How romantic! :X

Go, Go! CHARGE!

Brighten up.

2008-06-12T00:23:00.000+08:00

That was enough to put on a silly smile on my face for quite a while.

Thank You :)

Thrown upon, from the fantasized world.

2008-06-10T23:50:00.003+08:00

说真的, 我其实很不喜欢现在的自己. 很多時候所追究的事与物根本背于心底所许, 反而是受周围环境和社会不断的影响. 一直努力奋斗, 熬过一次又一次, 口中说是为了设下来的目标而坚持, 但始終是因想超越他人的存在, 当那万人之中耀眼的星. 就连停下脚步想想是否走对了方向, 都怕就此浪费时间赶不上所有人繁忙的步伐. 我很多時候的确是顾虑他人會怎么看我, 才做莫些事. 久而久之, 我的思想已模糊.. 不清楚自己想要的是什么了.

我讨厌成长, 它让我失去我曾有过的笑容. 简简单单的事足以让我快乐, 知与不知都笑着过. 這灿烂而发制内心的笑慢慢消失. 现在的笑变成了种应酬, 一个面对外界必备的面具. 思想成熟后, 烦恼也自然增加, 更是把每件事情复查化, 想了又想. 是, 大家都好怀念旧時光.

有時后简单反而更快乐. 住在乡下的朋友真幸福, 无忧无虑的日子, 绿油油的草, 蓝蓝无边际的天空, 很真诚的心. 我好想念.. 想念那段短暂的日子. 或许是雨天的关系, 让我有所感触吧.

越是单纯的人, 才懂得什么是幸福

如有选择的话, 我希望回到过去... 你呢? 但愿如此囉 :)

说了這么多, 还是回到了原点.

Pieces of me

2008-06-09T05:22:00.000+08:00

Minimal energy level yet my mind can't seem to shut totally and I am feeling super bloated and uncomfortable. There are so many things left undone, so many serials waiting for me to watch, so many GSS calling, and dreadfully, so many notes to flip through. Work was better this time round, with lesser BGL crowds so that I could have more of my 10-seconds fresh air. I swear I saw someone of your resemblance, so much so much alike. Perhaps brighter, smarter, cooler, taller and perfectly pretty eyes:) and damn eh, GJH doesn't allow us to work for PC Show. MY MONEY!!

!can't wait to do smth to my hair
!can't wait for shopping sprees
!can't wait for Night Safari
but i don't wish to move on, because somehow, the route ahead isn't as promising..
my dream is never to grow up:)

the lachrymose recollections

2008-06-06T22:04:00.000+08:00

Some time back, together with chen (preferably known as alivia now! haha) and with the help of my papa+mahjong khakis.

p.s. I no longer looked forward to weekends now. irksome. feeling like shit now.

when it comes to you

2008-06-05T02:07:00.001+08:00

uh-oh. I meant to edit my previous post and add on updates but apparently, it's gone.
I've mentally gone thru wad I am gonna update, & even jotted down notes inside my mobile but apparently, there comes a sudden urge to go back to my serials:)

SCREAMS! BKK/TW??? (Mavis says Dubai, cos she's eager to see e constructing of world's tallest and largest whatsoever, more imptly, srz's BGL!)

every'g so outta control

2008-05-17T00:06:00.001+08:00

It seems like every now and then, with few years allowance in between, something drastic will hit the world. Then, the following day, tons of publications on newspapers are scattered throughout the cities in all parts of the world. Right at this moment, a kid may be under the debris yelling in her last breath for help while us, comfortably sitting in front of the television munching chips away & complaining how unfair life has been to us. I guessed we'll never know how it feels until you are the victim in the incident. All these whiles, we have been pursuing a-less-than-important goal, directing through the wrong route. People will never learn to treasure, until it really hits them hard. Well, the same goes for me...

then I realised I never once had you

2008-05-16T23:39:00.001+08:00

I don't fancy these celebrities, but I must say that this is really quite an interesting show. It was unbelievable (& unrealistically so, perhaps not that I know of it) that the thieves were able to plot such smart tactics. My initial point of mentioning this show is because of the setting at Stanley Market. It gets me so high whenever the scene, exactly like in the picture below, appears on the tv. Pretty hard to register the actual sight of roads, houses, shops, etc. in Hong Kong with those I see in the serials. Nah still, the point is... I've once laid my foot at Stanley Market, with a picture of pj at the same exact spot as evidence!

Thinking back, how much I missed the strange stares from people all because of my sexy blue stockings. How I (or we) wished to fly to HK again by AirAsia next year because they are having free seats promotions till today. It only seemed not too long ago that we had our trip, but in actual fact, that was a 3 month ago issue. Life's ticking away horribly fast, giving us no chance to set our minds down for a rest. September September, Taiwan Taiwan, may you be my dream come true.

Oh, Gorgeous Nineteen NSY:)

My lucky devil.

2008-05-09T22:23:00.000+08:00

I love this watch and am so gonna get it, if not in other colours or that design I saw at Casio store the other day. So pretty :) Aww, I want more of Wednesday's kinda shopping trips. And despite the drowsiness from the medication, I pulled myself thru' the lecture and hopped on the train to Bugis with zzb. Speaking of the medicine, it kept giving me gastrics but I've not much appetite. Finally today, I came home with a growling stomach and actually gobbled down tons of rubbish. Am a happy satisfied pig for now.

Ugh, projects peak hitting again! Going for job interview tmr and internship interview probably next week. Good Luck SRZ on Monday!

& Happy MaMa Day!
Father's gonna cook on Sunday:)

Be Good. Ciao.
Loves,
Avee.

Against her will

2008-05-05T00:28:00.002+08:00

THE PAIN ON MY HIND GUM/TOOTH IS AGONIZING. AND THE WORST IS IVE THE URGE FOR KTV VERY MUCH. SIGH. AM NOT FEEL TOO GOOD THESE FEW DAYS REALLY. DAMN THE PAIN.

ON A SIDE NOTE, I HAVE HOT PINKY NAILS :) I MARATHON-ED BULL FIGHTING ON FRI/SAT AND I ALWAYS LOVED THESE SHOWS DESPITE THE TYPICAL STORYLINE. &&, I NEVER GET SICK OF WATCHING QIANX3SHOU'S MV, THAT'S WHY I ANNOUNCED HIM MY NEW LOVE. THE ONLY GLEE I HAVE OVER THIS WEEKEND WAS PROBABLY KNOWING MY LONG AWAITED PAY HAS BEEN BANKED INTO MY DEPLETING A/C! CHEERIOS!

when the night falls, and the lonely roars
that was
you once read, and followed my lips.

2008-05-04T23:52:00.001+08:00

THAT MAY LOOKED NOT A BIT ATTRACTIVE NOR APPETIZING TO YOU, OR PERHAPS YOU DIDN'T EVEN REALIZED IT WAS SOMETHING EDIBLE. BUT YES, I AM TELLING YOU NOW, IT'S AI XIN OREO CHEESECAKE MADE BY THE OTHER FOURS SOME TUESDAY AFTER CLASS AT SF'S. WOOHOO, I KNOW IT ISN'T APPEALING BUT EVERYONE SAID IT'S NICE. THAT WAS QUITE LABOUR INTENSIVE, BUT WORTH THE WHILE. WE CELEBRATED IN ADVANCE AT WARAKU AT CUPPAGE PLAZA ON WEDNESDAY, AND TODAY'S THE ACTUAL DAY. MERRY MERRY NINETEENTH BIRTHDAY ZZB'S HO! :)
AXXXXW WISHED HER HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WE KNOW! WE KNOW! HURHUR :D

no one follows the queue, no one.

2008-05-02T01:15:00.000+08:00

I'm so going back to the good o' days. At that moment where skies are blue and grasses are green, life's nothing less than perfect. Everything seems so well so stand still, don't stray, I will reach for you. Even now so, shower me with some confidence. On that particular train ride, how much I wished it never stops, taking me through the quiets of greenery. If only bad things turned good and the good goes better, best of best.

I will prove you wrong.

Of a sudden, all sorts of emotion welled up- love and misses. At times, we wished that living in this harsh world can be a more relaxing & less taxing task. To live like in the novels, movies, dramas, fairytale is my wishful dream. Oh, I want to be alone.

It kinda of struck me on my way home last night that Mavis's birthday was the last birthday celebration zzb will, as a whole, havoc together. No more full attendance after September 02. Well, 4 dreading months will breeze by and more so than ever we should heed the advice to start enjoying campus life. Geez, hold on those emotions till when the time arrives.

In the midst of uploading pictures, shall fire them up over the weekend.

keep me attached.

2008-04-27T21:06:00.000+08:00

Bull Fighting- looks like this is the only serial that got the eyes of the Mahjong khakis on the tv while having their usual rounds, even dua-gim who's only after Korean dramas all these while. Heard good reviews from quite a few so I've been bugging mama to rent them for weeks. Only into episode 4 because of school & work that doesn't permit the time. Plus, i still have my HK serials to catch up with yea?

Every hour passed seemingly slow, with me checking my watch every now & then, counting down before this lecture ends, before school calls it a day, before I can finally knock off. But two weeks just breezed by without me noticing. Soon, will be the project peak period. Gosh, am not looking forward to the days ahead. Despise growing up seriously....

Went shopping last week with my sis and I managed to hook her to online shopping too. What's better than going out for shopping, eyeing on an item & enjoy the hassle-less to bring out your own wallet to pay for that? Good thing is, I finally, like really finally, paid off my debts. I know I said I will practise self-control and not bagged new items home for a while. You guys must have guessed that I'm kidding, right?

Love, bye:)

where it leads me; to you.

2008-04-18T23:59:00.004+08:00

It's always only when you fall, then you'll learn...

You make me tingles

2008-04-18T23:54:00.002+08:00

Today, marks the fifth day of hitting the campus and too, not being to catch any glimpse of cwp anywhere. On my way home, I thought bout positive stuff that is to keep me going and not receive warning letters in my mailbox again. Apart from giving myself an excuse to spend on necessities (called new clothes & shoes), experimenting mix n' match and excitedly discusses it with your peers, gossiping bout how this couple fell out, giving people the Manhattan Onceover when you've nthg else to do, bitching bout other people who's none of our concern, criticizing this particular person's dress sense or hairdo, sharing or rather digging inner thoughts bout each other, making fun and mocking at the usuals, rushing out of mlts cos the zhuzhatang's calling... okay the lists' getting abit long, but the main is still being able to lead the ever-so-carefree life because all the fuss is only over the 2 magical words called exams and projects.

Life is slowly adjusting itself to the right mode, and I've always enjoyed mass conversation in msn with fellow zzb, like right now. But then again, back home after school is kind of boring. Whereas working is different because the hours are much longer, plus the fact that when you reached home you're so deadbeat you could fall asleep right that minute. Alright, the verdict's that I actually prefer working, which isn't making any sense to everyone out there slogging.

Grrr, did I mention I cut and highlighted my hair. It's so freaking hard to maintain which I finally realised I can't wait for it to grow longer. Tomorrow will be the last dance class! So drained, never feel like laying my hands on the tutorials. Sentosa in less than 12 hours' time!

A collage to spice up this post!

From This Moment On,
Because Of You.

So fast So far

2008-04-14T23:54:00.000+08:00

No idea what to blog, I just wanna rant. I know everybody's asking us to treasure this one last chance of being able to hop on the packed train at 9am, sitting thru mundane lectures, bombarded by endless assignments, and so on.. which in short still having the pleasure to enjoy the life revolving around study. I overhead a conversation between a University student and a working adult whom apparently are of senior-junior relationship. And so they were conversing about school vs work, then the guy mentioned something like "Responsibility in school, you only have to answer to yourself." Obviously at work, there's that man so well-dressed in the cosy room shaking his legs you have to report to. But somehow, I still couldn't bring myself to enjoy campus life despite today being the first day of school. So much of dreading already, oh dear.

Little John Little John, it's no point going back since you weren't be there anyway. How can I find you? I miss working. I like earning money. I swear I'm cutting down on my expenses, no more shoes, no more clothes, no more bags, no more restaurants, no more shopping for this month especially after the heartache on my head. I am saving up for better tomorrows. Yes baby I can do it, I took up Financial Planning last semester rmbr? eh shit, then I'll have to abort my new phone plan on thursday. Depressed lah dumb!

ahhhhhhhhhhhh, no signs of you anywhere. Am soooooooooooooo depressed even more! I am getting crazy for goodness sake dumbo you

Goodbye.

2008-04-14T00:26:00.000+08:00

few pence of adrenaline rush
then, seems like we'll never meet again.

2008-04-14T00:15:00.001+08:00

a thousand and one of don't-feel-like-attending-school.
can't feel the joy of the last semester.
good thing there's them.

Sorry like the angel heaven let me think was you,

2008-04-10T05:23:00.000+08:00

This feeling so unbearably excruciating...

Oh, as the clock ticks it is freaking 0523 now. First it was the pounding head that hits during work which got worst after i knocked off. I couldn't take it and took painkillers plus a nap when i reached home. Then there was this constant ache on my hind gum the past few days and a pus on the side. So it was a hindrance to eat and even reflex actions. Finally at 0300 eyelids felt a lil heavy but I tossed & turned, after 2 hours there was no signs of dreams & drools. Tummy growling like mad too. I decided to have my usual- meilu with instant oatmeal.

As I was blogging (using the desktop), I was wondering where my sis is. And the fact that I can be using the desktop is because her room.. there's no one! So, I recalled she mentioned she's off to Batam, with Kelvin I guessed. She's too free you see, being forced to take leaves by the admin staff.

What else can I scribble bout? Lemmi see...
My 2 and half months of school vacation, how it was spent. Good topic! The most-well utilised and meaningful vacation so far with a lovely overseas trip to Hong Kong, numerous jobs taken up which equipped myself with essential working experience (including Events Helper at Career Fair, Promoter at IT Show, Food & Beverage Fair and Sales Associate at JL), Class Chalet, meeting up good o' friends, tanning (thou' only for once it was successful), etc. Don't think I earned big bucks just because I worked for 4 different Co. Nah, I had to save up for the school fees so it's not even enough to cover my usual expenses.

Budget List:
a) $100 for Mama, Papa (u can't imagine my jia-lui-lao-bu kept asking for it jus because I worked!)
b) $100++ to ah yan for the eye wear stuff (yea I still rmbr don worry haha)
c) $500(>) strictly no using, to save up for paying off my bank loan.
d) $200 to be banked in, to offset the money I've alrdy used so far heh heh;)
e) Balance from pay-(a to d) shall be used on miscellaneous and shopping for a bag, pumps, heels, make up, hairdo and more! :)

Time check: 0609
I'm still hungry luhhhhhhhhhhhh. KTV later, yippie loves!

牵牵牵手。

2008-04-08T00:08:00.002+08:00

Dear Diary,

Nope, I did not MIA. The previous week being tightly packed, gave no chance for a break. And the same would apply for the remaining 6 days before we lay our foot into Y3S1. Hola!

Recall:
1) I met up RQ after the longest time you can imagine for karaoke session and desserties @ cartel's.
2) Quit my pilot occupation and had dinner at Fish & Co. with Sukie for updates of each other's life. Stop dreading work!
3) Annual routine to Bright Hill's temple with relatives to pay respects to late maternal grandparents and hee, i got to eat my fave lingling ice-cream from the umbrella vendor. Dinner with parents and combed the supermarket :)
4) Every girl's favourite past time with yo tanning buddy and now, buying make-up/skin care products mate. Our date on the weekend school reopens, rmbr heh!
5) 2 days rituals at AMK with endless joss sticks, endless kneeling. Bahh, sometimes we wonder what's on the adults' mind.
6) Getting the grip of it at work and Me am beginning to enjoy it, esp during night time. Working around nice people is the best anyone can ask for. April fool came to have lunch with me one of the days.

Yay, so looking forward to Thursday. <3

thou it may be a lil off the timing, but still

Happy Birthday! :)

The most beautiful seventh day in August had never been an ordinary day ever since she met you. They said when God created everything on Earth, he used seven days to do so. He had the loveliest items in the entire universe placed right in front of you. Thus in the journey of life, no matter the ups and downs you have had encountered, learning to cherish makes all of your experiences sweet and unforgettable. On this day this date, there was more to it.

Dreams had never once felt so real, to the extend she rather never wake up. Maybe so, reality would not hit her that hard. No one buys Love At First Sight this time of the year. It was time and your actions that pulled the both of you closer. In front of you, she wasn't her own self. She managed to gulp how tough things had been for her and how much so she almost given up hope. Thoughts remained anonymous to you, all because they refused to form into strings of words to be spoken out of her mind. She- a face full of fragile emotions, was poised at the lip of disheartening. There was once you asked, and that was the end to it. You weren't him whom she longed for, but she couldn't bring herself to give the short-lived memories a halt.

What she knew and what she thought she knew about you were all mixed up, everything strange and familiar at once. Among the maddening crowd, stood you who seemed to be soaring up from the earth into the flooding night sky of stars like a magnificent statue, like do you always shine. It's hard not to wonder how you did that- to have all eyes mesmerized on you. And if anyone would have known, that was despite numerous imperfect conduct.

In a mask of tears, it's hard to continue further. Now, comes the day she chance upon you along the streets, with the hand you are holding belonging to someone else. She knew this day will come. Perhaps in 6 years' time and all left was 6 feet underground.The seventh day of every month became a regret. No, she realised how joyous the moment was when you ran away. Broken heart can't be that bad. Shut up then get out of her sight.

There was no one she can confined to. She got over it, in pretense. A strong front of the million faces...
It's this feeling I get when blur skies turn to grey....

Shunned.

I feel like an obasang this afternoon, but a hip one. I was carrying bags of grocery as I walked out of the supermarket. But wad a nice girl I am. I stocked up some food at home for mama because she has OT these few days. I bought ice cream $8.55 for 2 tubs for my sis and I don't mind growing fat together with her. Hee:)

I thought of a cleverer way to display Hong Kong Pictography.

Bought this Gottena Grand Prix cookies from Candy Empire the other day which I thought was quite nice, and it's all gone now. I packed some in a box and gave it to rz at work yesterday, or else I'd have gotten rid of everything myself. Well, I meant nice to let 3 of them share. haha

Saturday is becoming Sisters Day. I bet cos my sis is tied down by the hip hop class, she couldn't line up any program. So we would always make some last minute plans and rushed like mad, then ended up late for class. Yesterday was Taka to find rz and Art-Friends to get materials, then MS for Fox Fashion Escapade (but we missed it anw) and some shopping. For once, we weren't late for dance! Ugh, but Me wasn't fit for dance all because of the freaking Mari Kita on my back. It's to the extend that I had to face down to sleep, and wake up several times in the middle of the night to apply Aloe gel. We were thinking about tanning again this coming week. I'm afraid not duh.

Back to the mundane lifestyle. I have a whole week ahead without plans. Was quite disappointing that the coach to Genting from KT was fully booked. Not about the destination, but the trip itself to relax and enjoy with friends. Anyway, the others pushed back the trip to April, while Me am pathetically topping up my Cash At Bank then.

Yan popped a question during the train ride. I think I know the answer, and it has always been so. It no longer circles around you, but having someone by your side to lean on. Yes no doubt there still are misses but they have gone beyond you. What's with it now is that someone to spend your weekend with, to talk on the phone every others nights before bed, to hug tightly to feel his warmth, to experiment culinary skills and exciting stuff, to explore never-been-to places, whom you hold his hand and go on the street together. The sweet talks are disgusted. Me am fickle minded. Quite a bit of miss now..

Hee. What's better den sticking my eyes on BW's serials? and what excites me even more, is that he has lots of drama coming their way! but seriously, there are many nice shows awaiting: 珠光宝气, 溏心风暴之家好月圆,学警雄心III, 烈火雄心III, 法证先锋II, etc. So anw, The Seventh Day is a sister production of Under the Canopy of Love. Perhaps a little to slow moving (thus boring), D.I.E. is better! Alright, this paragraph aint making a tinge sense to you if you don't watch HK serial. Maybe in time to come, I will be mama no.2 who spent years (definitely more den a decade) watching HK dramas and to date, she could always guess the storyline. Every time. haha

I made a promise (but usually are meant to be broken yea? teehee) to myself that I will stop splurging on clothes before I lose some pounds. I guess I'll never ever be able to buy new clothes again if I abide strictly to it. Shoot me, I ate 2 rows of the bar ytd to kill hunger because I'm in no mood to wait for mama to whip up the dishes for dinner. Anyhows, those sugar-rush pdts are cheap (5 for $11, but I din get five lah!) from the Food Fair. Biscuit Ritter Sport's nice eh. Told ya I'm turning into a glutton. Ok, back to the issue of Shopping- The Best Treats/Remedy for Girls. I think I almost spend my 3 days pay on shopping last Friday with sf and rz. It was great, esp after the horrible episode. Random, Sophie Kinsella's novel is great for mini-shopaholic-me heh!

I was so glad I finally got myself a MP4, laying an avenue to kill time while on train rides. That was only initial glee. I should have known better, because it was a cheap deal from IT fair. To cut the episode short, the service staff said it'll take a month because if it can't be fix locally, they gonna ship it back to China. Duh, I almost laughed-out-loud. Whatever, I was told to return a month later to retrieve that piece of thing.
And (after waiting several hours) I met up the housemies for another round of shopping again. After sf left to join her gang, we caught The Leap Years. That was the second time (aft Pirates) sitting at the 1st row. This time round it wasn't that bad. As usual, she laughed at her usual volume. Not too bad a show, Li-lin's hot, Ananda Matthew Everingham's hotter!

I have no idea what's wrong with me lately. There's this constant mental struggle going on- to do this or that. Soon enough, I may need a Psychiatrist. Roars!

Round 2 of HK photographs coming up. Have a Peek:)

Won't go home without you.

2008-03-13T01:13:00.000+08:00

I STINK!... even after a thorough hot bath, all thanks to the 10 hours in the enclosed polluted environment. Oh my, time crawls slower than a snail with such simple task and bosses who are too nice a person. A mighty friend of mine told a tale without blinking her eyes, and I just had to nod or utter a few words to play along. We could only laugh at our silly ideas on the train ride home to bury that indescribably sense of guilt. At least she's around, and we missed working at the IT show. Guess wad, even those sickening J&xr will look adorable now please! Made in Germany, quality guaranteed.

Ah I'm turning into a glutton. Boo! That's endless to-dos on my list. Shopping, tanning, dancing, gyming, haircut & highlight...

Happy Gorgeous Nineteen TWL! :)

One candied date with love.

Well, one blink of an eye we're into the a-quarts of 2008. First batch of itp students are on their go, pacing themselves in the working society right now. I thought work for past few days were great, which I've best enjoyed compared to many previous ones (thou' most of e times were slacking). One thing, I think for once I ate rice for every meals, yucks! The greatest amount of rice I stuffed myself with in my entire life will be the past 4 days. Mixed vege rice, Roasted duck rice, Chicken rice, Nasi Lemak.....

There's uncountable ants on the desktop desk in my sis' room. Creeps and I've actually crushed so many with the cotton pad that I used to remove my nail polish moments ago. And this reminds me of my sis becoming the Most Disgusting Creature on Earth because she successfully destroyed that flying creature the other day. What a freak, she smashed right on it with i-weekly and crushed its bones into pieces. Poor little thing, count yourself unlucky that you met her. Grrr!

Alrighto, am off to pack my stuff and get my pipi outta the house for class chalet:)

oh yar, gyming chenchen! I feel like ive gained pounds after the rice issue.

Bring me balloons- because it feels good to be like a child, gripping on to them and walked along the streets, while little fellow kiddies eye with envy. (But back in reality, it's quite embarrassing if you don't offer the balloons to that kid right?) It was an extremely filling lunch at Botak Jones to celebrate the commence of Birdie Days. Catching up sessions, it was a nice and simple day.

One fine Saturday morning, I made Oreo Cheesecake with the help of YYsuperman. The end results ain't too bad, but I thought the biscuits were a little high in glucose level eh. The same day was hip-hop after 0 attendance for the 1st lesson. So fun but challenging for my zero dancing background. Oh, I made new specs (which I reckon classmates will tease cos of the xwm's-sister-status) and pairs of cool coloured contacts. It was yet another simple and lovely day all due to the good laughs at my sister. & I sudd rmbr smth, I prefer reading CLEO compared to Female & Seventeen. Duh, random.

Anyway, I love mama for the simplest reason. She's the only who knows me inside out to that extend. She bought fish burger for me yesterday hehheh:) And I am going for movie with her tmr. loves.

p/s. I will update bout HK trip soon after I get hold of the pictures from boobzy superman NSY!
p/s. Poo poo ain't too good still, at least no more tummy discomfort, no need for disgusting medicine!
p/s. Alrighty, off to catch my episodes. shittie results' out tmr!
p/s. am back to days of Iwish-Iwish-Iwish. :(
p/s. I love this song and I kept browsing my own webblog just to listen heh=)

To only see, miss, love from afar

Hello Dearest-Most Familiar Town-Weather-Air-Faces-Diary,

Much misses I am back safe and sound. The trip was indeed an experience for us 4 brave young souls. So unbelievable, so proud of it. A Valentine's never to be forgotten :) Shall save the details for another time, perhaps tmr after movie.

Pre CNY period was mainly family time, shopping with mummy/yan, spring cleaning, and steamboat and stuff. CNY day 1 was traditional house visits (was fun taking pics), d2 was walking from end to end at home with mummy, d3 was ahyi's place then ktv and finally the best part where cuzzies came over for games (got us very high, screaming & all), d4 was sukie's place then movie and home to lao yu sheng, d5 was town and meet up zzb to sf's followed by mine. Subsequent days was going out to get stuffs for the trip, preparing and packing. Then it was Valentine's! It was the day!

Alrighty, am going to my room to stripppppppppp cos it's freaking warm esp without a fan right now. Missing the 13^oC already man, time to tune back to the 26^oC ahh!

now that things have come this far

2008-02-08T20:59:00.000+08:00

Perhaps I should have agreed to go over for mahjong, or even go out for the movie. am not feeling down, just plain misses...

remembering life two of us have been

Happy Lunar New Year! I'm wearing a authentic gold ring, once in the ownership of my great-grandmother and now belonged to my mum. It'll huat huat me in the year of Rat :)

Alright, let's be frank now.
My dad rushed back to Malaysia yesterday noon & is supposed to be back by evening today but obviously he isn't, my mum is having her routinely exercise with the usuals at ex-ah ma's house, Da-sister should be with Kelvin at his relative house if not mahjong too, superman is at KTV with Leon's family at tpy, and Me am alone at home at now on the very 1st day of the Lunar New Year. Poor thing.....

We were saying perhaps there won't be ex-ah ma's house for us to gather next year. The situation this year is definitely worst off than last year's- no food/drink, no cny decos, no sofas, not even proper tiles on the floor. I miss ah ma, I miss how those usuals complain & nag, I miss the scene whereby some were engrossed in the Chinese-style Blackjack, I miss the noise and festive atmosphere, I miss times where people longbang in other's vehicle and ah ma brought us to whosoever house to bai nian, then we'll get so excited when we see chocolates. Things have changed, so much so I bet it's out of the adults' control. Boringggg...

Hmmm actually it isn't really as bad as what you've read so far. At least we did had some fun- mummy screaming at us in the morning to wake us up, 4 girls dolling up themselves and mummy starts to get hiao, getting to taste new year goodies, cam-whoring. But I foresee a boring day tmr. Grrrr!

Sidetrack from all the new year hoohoo, I am very satisfied because I finally found the song in the Nikon camera advertisement u guys probably would have seen on TV. It's shortlisted in the Viewers' Choice contest. heh=)
& there are so many movies I wanna watch- the long due 27 Dresses, CJ7, Kungfu Dunk, Ah Long Pte Ltd.
Me am very looking forward to HK, so feels like doing projects when I did research on the transportation.

春节愉快! 發發發!

'nough to never look back

2008-02-04T00:53:00.000+08:00

because that will be the last time, nevermind the courage. It's of no use. Let's see until then what happens.

I can't get enough of shopping! It's great shopping with my sister because both of us wouldn't be in the right mind- she'll psycho me & i'll psycho her, and we ended up with lots of new buys. I managed to resist at certain point, holding all that for my hk trip.

Yipeeee! Me am so looking forward to Valentine's, & perhaps CNY cos it's time for girls in the house to doll up tgt with nice pretty clothes!

oh, i'm thinking of h/ling my hair red.
oh, i'm sick of my blogskin but i can't lay my eyes on any:(
