Dear Chris..

To a lovely couple - my dearest Ming & Di, have a blissful marriage~ *hugs*
i dedicate this entry to you both.. =)

the wedding was beautiful and i teared during the march-in.. I think that's the most touching moment.. to see the couple walk down the aisle, hand-in hand..

Their sweet wedding song which i helped pick..

Till The End - 陈达伟 David Tan

All these precious moments
With you by my side
Must be a gift from heaven
That's holding me all night

I don't know how I found you
I'm thankful that I had
Now that I have a love so true
To hold ,to keep ,to share..

*In my heart ,I can no longer hold inside
All of the love I used to hide
I'll always be
with you until the very end
In this world
there is no place I'd rather be
You are my life, my soul, my girl
And through it all
I know that you've come to see, that
You 're the one
till the end..*

All my friends around me
Say you'd be gone too soon
Baby ,I'm gonna make them see
We've found our way back home

Repeat chorus *

We'll always be,
Till the end..

-------------------

real busy!!! so sorry.. so no time to come online lately to chat or blog.. i realised my last entry's a month ago and its still unfinished.. haha..

but im still happy.. though im beginning to miss frens i've not seen for quite some time.. =(

let's all meet up soon k? after all ur exams..

nites all, back to my work!

2006-10-09T20:47:00.000+08:00

surprised i finally updated??

haha.. sorry really been busy with my work and all.. can't wait to sleep when i get hm everyday.. and weekends will be either catching up on sleep or running out to meet frens etc..

but i've been sleeping at home the whole of sat & sun.. WHY??

cos clumsy me met with a freak accident while keeping a plastic folder in the wardrobe on fri night after getting hm from the lantern-playing..

the folder slipped and struck me directly in my right eye.. i cried out in pain lor and couldn't see properly after that.. ken saw a visible scratch on my cornea.. i was so freaked out cos i could see a line in my blur vision..

he sent me to NUH A&E for treatment immediately.. that was at 3plus am on a sat morning.. i was so scared can.. worried my vision wld get affected.. luckily the doc said that its not a deep cut, just a linear abrasion and our cornea has regenerative functions that promote healing of minor injuries to it.. PHEW..

but i was a blind bat for whole of sat, esp in the day cos of the uv penetration direct to my eye.. cornea injured so couldn't filter the uv rays.. i put on a self-invented eye patch(from tissue paper and scotch tape) and shades in the day.. watched tv till i fell alseep cos it was so tiring to look at things using 1 eye..was much better after i woke up cos night time liao.. so i slept and slept thru my sat and sun.. today on mc to go see eye specialist for follow up and also the dentist..

my wisdom tooth's been giving me problems for the past week.. bottom right gum swollen like dunno wat and the right side of my face also can see the swelling.. was supposed to see dentist during weekend but the eye injury was more serious so i beared with the pain first..

did a x-ray for my teeth and i need to remove my wisdom tooth after the swelling subsides.. pain arh..

to be continued.. i tired liao... paiseh.. haha..
-------------------------------------

Midautumn festival! went to west coast park with cousins to play with candles, sparklers and lanterns.. that was before the mishap happened..

bday with ken & my family on 14th.. an hr before midnight struck .. my strawberry cake frm rive gauche! looks nice but abit cheesy though.. i like strawberry shortcakes that r not cheesy leh.. hehe..

my bday in office.. see my messy table and all my work lying ard..

my evil colleagues got me 6 rolls of toilet paper cos i was having diarrhoea earlier that week.. and they got 6 diff ppl(i wun expect to play along with) to come to my table at intervals and pass a roll of toilet paper to me while wishing me happy bday.. so malu lor.. and they said something like "this is good quality paper, use sparingly", "dun go toilet so often la" etc..

and they played a prank on me, used the "someone wants to see u urgently in the room now so quick come down!" trick.. i actually fell for it k.. but they all very sweet la.. esp my 2 babes sn & ew! thanks to my supervisor wk, jel & sa too for the bday gift!

career suicide they say.. cos my deputy supt saw me holding all the toilet rolls and he walked over to find out why we were so happy.. we were making alot of noise taking photos lor.. they made me pose for silly photos and i gladly obliged in the name of fun.. haha..

bday bbq surprise with ken & my darling cousins + frens after work that day.. seletar reservoir! was a surprise location and its really quite special.. BBQ food was super yummy! i didn't move a finger that night cos i was the STAR.. haha.. i just sat there to be fed..

Bday with my sec sch pals & joanne.. sushi lunch at westmall sakae then karaoke at JEC!! xuan din join us though cos he had something on.. was funnnn cos long time since i met them liao.. thanks my dear frens for remembering my bday.. *hugs*

then i moved to United Sq to meet my usual favs from jc for a bday dinner at globetrotters.. they bought me a slice of cake frm Chocz! niceee..

Last night's DND was a smashing success!! even though we din win the title (we're nt the richest division eh?), everyone did wonderful.. =) Yay no more late nights in office doing rehearsals and dance.. Luckily DND once every 2 years.. PHEW.. other dunno how many performances i've to do each year..

im so tired so just let me post a few photos cos i haven got the rest frm them yet.. my camera was used for video-taking so photos all with other ppl's cameras..a

Hotel room for the girls, compliments from our deputy director.. Yeah! its nice.. Orchard hotel.. same place where the first NJC prom was held outside school.. and yah we were the lucky ones to be the pioneering batch!

played around with the bathrm for the exhibitionists.. there's a glass window to see what's going on inside, for conservative ppl like me, please draw the blinds when u go bathe or use the toilet..

then we played with the wigs and they all had a good laugh cos we looked so ridiculous.. haha.. and es was grumbling abt looking like Ruhua after they made her wear the red lipstick.. and they said her amount of makeup was to be our benchmark for performers on stage.. Ewww.. red cheeks and lips..

The dramatic look.. they kept asking me to add more makeup cos we'll look pale on stage.. i had a hard time removing all the mascara and eyeliner.. plus glitter....

From left to right: sa(sharon) the Roman Goddess, sn(shernice) the Chacha Dancer frm Latin America, Me the Middle-Eastern bellydancer & ew (esther)the Italian Opera Singer..

parting shot.. MUACK!

Okie lots of packing to do.. better get down to work.. did a little last weekend and i already filled 4 big boxes when not even 1/4 of my room is done.. oh dear.. i'll need alot of time liao..

after all the sparkle and dazzle of DND dies over this weekend, i'll have to face the harsh reality of the thick pile of outstanding letters on my desk.. Argh! All those heavily involved in DND are high high up on the charts.. haha.. i am not ALONE.. =P

a great working team really makes all the difference..

Having Karaoke with colleagues on Wed after work, dinner with glads jer & kel(and im not sure who else if there's any) on thurs.. that leaves mon & tues to stay back and clear all those letters..

Dishwalla - Angels and Devils

this is the last time
that I'm ever gonna come here tonight
this is the last time - I will fall
into a place that fails us all - inside

I can see the pain in you
I can see the love in you
but fighting all the demons will take time
it will take time

the angels they burn inside for us
are we ever
are we ever gonna learn to fly
the devils they burn inside of us
are we ever gonna come back down
come around
I'm always gonna worry about
the things that could make us cold

this is the last time
that I'm ever gonna give in tonight
are there angels or devils crawling here?
I just want to know what blurs and what is clear - to see
where I can see the pain in you
and I can see the love in you
and fighting all the demons will take time
it will take time

the angels they burn inside for us
are we ever
are we ever gonna learn to fly
the devils they burn inside of us
are we ever gonna come back down - come around
I'm always gonna worry about the things that could break us

if I was to give in - give it up- and then
take a breath - make it deep
cause it might be the last one you get
be the last one
that could make us cold
could make us cold

I'm always gonna worry about the things that could make us cold...

a song i've been listening to lately and i think its quite nice.. the feel of the song..

KT Tunstall - Other Side Of The World

Over the sea and far away
She's waiting like an iceberg
Waiting to change
But she's cold inside
She wants to be like the water

All the muscles tighten in her face
Buries her soul in one embrace
They're one and the same
Just like water

The fire fades away
Most of every day
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're the otherside of the world to me

On comes the panic light
Holding on with fingers and feelings alike
But the time has come
To move along

The fire fades away
Most of every day
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're the otherside of the world

Can you help me?
Can you let me go?
And can you still love me
When you can't see me anymore?

The fire fades away
Most of every day
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're the otherside of the world

The otherside of the world
You're the otherside of the world to me...

-------------------

2006-07-27T22:42:00.000+08:00

So happy my div came in 1st for the innovation competition!!

-i thought but not-

2006-07-23T16:26:00.000+08:00

Okay ready for updates?

let me finish posting these backdated photos.. going back to the section BBQ at Parc Vista (wr's hse)..

so much food.. overloaded with sotong balls and sausages.. *urgh*

whatever's left of our section.. hehs.. and the girls.. few of them couldn't make it in the end.. but we still had fun!

wr, his fraternal twin an army regular and his youngest bro who's a sec1 at NUS high sch.. do they all look alike?

group photo! =)
--------------------

NDP guards' family day preview at kallang stadium on 8th july Saturday..

was so hot that day!! but it was quite worth it cos it never fails to move me each time i attend the parade.. sounds cheesy but im truly very proud to be a singaporean..

jack finally had 2 photos that looked normal!

we went geylang for frogs' leg and beef kway teow after the parade..

then i went boat quay to meet kel,glads,jer and just for a drink at this jazz pub called Jazz@SouthBridgeRoad or something like that.. photos all blurry that night.. glads & i shared a lychee martini & mango margarita.. nice~
--------------------

sunday.. we all went for SWS's Beautiful Sunday concert at esplanade.. but due to some communication breakdown, ken & i din manage to get in.. Hmmmmm... but impt thing was they got to go in to watch and see how esplanade concert hall is like..

they were craving for coffeebean so we brought them to suntec's outlet after they came out frm the 1hr-long concert.. cos US is crowded with starbucks.. coffeebean is more rare & they think the coffee and cakes taste better too..

and then we started to see who's tongue can touch their noses.. and we concluded that chris has an extremely short tongue.. hahaha.. she barely stuck it out frm her mouth despite trying really hard..

i love the last pic with chris laughing at jack's tongue cos it looks sweet! =)

and i found out that pink lillies are what i really like!! my new favourite flower~.. i love white lillies too but i think the pink one's really nice with the tinge of pink inside..
--------------------------

Our chalet at chevrons.. Wed12th-Fri14th..

BBQ!! food was GOOD.. had 3 types of steak, shishamo(capelin), corn, peppers(yucks), portabello mushrooms, button mushrooms, small cheesy sausages(nice!i din taste the cheese) and of cos.. chicken wings!

and so.. jack's the steak chef, ken's the shishamo chef, joe's the chicken wings expert & chris' the mushrooms&peppers chef! Me? i was waitress and kopi-soh for the night.. haha.. super tired frm work lor.. went straight after i knocked off frm work.. i was also the official food-tester.. =P

they bought us Malibu(passionfruit) and together with our various flavoured Absolut vodka, our drinking session began.. followed by mambo at Zouk! i almost died at work the next day.. too havoc liao..

will follow-up with karaoke photos and the rest of Taipei, which was a lonnnnnggg time ago.. haha..

im not in a good mood today, in fact not exactly having a good week... think the workload and stress frm everything is caving in on me.. good thing is, i got a good night's rest..

movie with steff, joe & ken last nite at PS.. a word of advice: PLEASE do NOT go watch Nacho Libre.. it killed me, as well as steff.. joe & ken were fatally wounded.. hahaha.. its super lame & boring can!!

when im tired, who will listen to me?

2006-07-16T23:02:00.000+08:00

the ones who stayed the whole night for me and helped me carry all my stuff, take photos and all.. love you all.. esp my dearest chris!

and here's some less-than-glamourous shots of me.. clockwise frm top left:
they decided the actual way to put on the hood like how witches do,
tried to make me fly,
threw a balloon to me & letting me get addicted to playing with it,
made me take a pic with my mouth full of food so i look like the balloons i was holding..
and joe took a pic of me that looks pretty normal but i was in fact tucking in my shirt at the back..

and the fun shots!

my graduation gifts~.. thankiews all.. and the the memorable day ended off with a sweet lychee martini.. Mmm..

OKAY!!! Taipei Day 2 photos continued and will END with this post.. i will start on day3 the next time.. haha.. totally lost the suspense liao cos i dragged for so long.. but better late than never right? *hiak*

the game that cheated my money and feelings at the night market.. *sobs*.. not my money la but steff & ken egged me on to play this cos seemed like so easy to win since raccoon had his butt half in the hole.. managed to tip it over then i realise they CHEATED!!! they put like ROCKS or wat in his tail lah!!!!! so heavy lor it cannot even drop into the hole.. took this photo as evidence..

*wails*.. felt so cheated.. and somemore they put more money for me to try to grab the tail and let it fall in but the stupid tail was so heavy it couldn't even be lifted up la!

my cute raccoon... farewell..

so cute right! they sold really adorable puppies at the night market.. & i purposely posted another pic of the 抓抓乐 game to diffuse my exasperation.. haha.. the mrt station at night.. and i can't help but commend on how organised the taiwanese are at the station..

we took the train back to 西门.. brought the 3 guys ard since its supposed to be our 地盘already..

back at 西门丁..

the 臭豆腐 challenge! ken couldn't take it so i helped him finish the remaining 2.. HaHa!.. dat was my 1st time eating it in taipei (other than my virgin try in singapore, huan bought so i tried 1 and couldn't stop whinning abt how stinky it was.. made my mouth smell like it was decomposing)..

but after this 1st try of the authentic one in taipei.. somehow i got addicted to the taste and started my '臭豆腐之恋'.. hahaha..

steff & joe din try at all lor.. joe said he tried last time liao so dowan to try anymore.. steff din even wanna go near it.. the rest of them standing ard waiting for us to finish the smelly beancurd..

aft we sent the guys off, shopped ard abit more & spent goodness-knows-how-long at this small shop doing our handphone chains, keychains etc.. so tired dat we juz made ourselves comfortable sitting on the floor while the lady did our gifts..

my very dirty shoes after the rainy + muddy climb at 杨明山, steff's ones not so dirty cos hers can be wiped clean.. our adidas sneakers!

and we played ard with the cam trying to take artistic shots.. we were that bored..

okie dat marks the end of travel log for Taipei day2 liao.. FINALLY right.. hahaha.. sorry lah.. i hardly get enuff sleep everyday ever since i started work.. so pardon me for that k..

nights all! 3 more days to chris' return on thurs~

and wed i got karaOkway outing with my fav office kakis after work.. hehe.. they're really a fun bunch of girls to be with.. xiaozhu's our grp's bodyguard frm today onwards, she's POWERFUL.. =P

-beautiful love-

2006-06-27T23:16:00.000+08:00

photos continued.. still on Day 2.. hehs..

the hungry vultures upon reaching 淡水.. went into this yoshinoyo-like shop that sells rice & noodle sets.. we all ordered diff sets to eat.. complete with a drink & side dish..the bamboo shoots were nice!

i had beef noodles & they put all the green stuff dat i dun like so was busy trying to remove all.. steff had curry rice & i can't rem what the 2 guys ate.. hehe..

but we were wondering why the made the ladle so heavy! it was like solid ceramic soup spoon which was really quite big & heavy.. my thumb got cramped after i held it for too long.. wat a tiring meal..

took a bus to the 渔人码头.. and it was still raining.. stopped raining for awhile when we first reached the mrt but started raining heavily again on our way to the 'Fisherman's Wharf'.. urgh..

spent our time indoors, walking ard the mini seafood market & then kept ourselves busy with 抓抓乐 again.. hahaa.. that's the kinda stuff-toy catching machines that's sooo hot in taipei.. we got addicted too.....

juz reliving some of my childhood days..

we could only take pictures frm indoors.. and sat ourselves at the cafe upstairs.. ordered a round of nice cakes again (the choc heart-shaped one was spoilt though.. super sour already.. Ewww)

and THEN......

we took out a pack of cards and started the first of our other addiction during the trip(besides 'zhua zhua le').. DAIDEE!

played for a few hrs and rain didn't stop so we gave up eventually cos no way we wld be able to see the beautiful sunset.. SUPER SAD can..

took a grp pic before we left the place.. to prove we were at least THERE..

also met a grp of 3 singaporean guys (forgot their names liao, oops!) on a ard-taiwan backpacking trip.. and so we all made frens.. proceeded to take the bus to 红树林 mrt station & to Jiantan where we went 士林夜市 for our dinner~！ *drools*

the very "湿" ShihLin night market.. these are 2 of the guys we met..

asked ken to help me hold umbrella while i was taking photos cos it was drizzling.. and he wasn't doing his job, i had to hold tup the brolly myself cos he was busy smiling at Joe's camera..

joe took a pic when we got attracted into another 抓抓乐 shop.. haha..

豪大大鸡排！！ and the 大香肠!! both super yummy~.. and the fried chicken steak was so huge & cheap ! like 35NT i think.. sausage was expensive though.. but very good! see how happy steff looked after biting into the 鸡排.. and one of the guys was brave enuff to try the 麻辣臭豆腐..

it was steamed one not fried one lor! 超臭!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

okays will continue tmr.. sleepy liao.. nitenites.. counting down to 6th July~ we go eat good food!

P/s: sorry chris, got piece of bad news.. i din manage to ballot for the additional invitation card so u may have to sit in the viewing rm with ken to watch the live broadcast of the ceremony.. really sorry.. hope u dun mind ya.. i only have an invitation for 2 (parents).. but hope still got small chance of having empty seats last min & u can go in!

and ya u'll have the company of ken, joe & jack at the chalet during the day.. and the 2 of us will join once we knock off work!

2006-06-26T00:32:00.000+08:00

the feeling of being part of those 8.30-6pm working ppl finally sank in on one fine evening when i was on the mrt home & staring at fellow workers.. and im in the new stage of my life already..

not that i don't like what im doing now cos im actually quite happy that i've a nice working environment, with good bosses and really warm & helpful colleagues.. a big-family kinda feeling when i work.. though the work is kinda challenging in terms of testing of my hardiness & resilience against "unfriendly elements"..

but i was actually quite sad abt it for awhile cos all of a sudden i miss so many things abt the school life..

i miss being a student..

miss wearing uniforms(missed that right after JC days).. not having to think abt what to wear to sch everyday..

miss having school holidays..

all my free periods..

and in varsity, all my free days..

not having to wake up at 6.15am every day of the week plus one in every 3 saturdays..

i actually miss attending lectures and copying notes.. haha..

i miss catching up with steff & glads almost every day.. cos we usually try to take the same geog modules & so share similar timetables..

i miss jc days with Ao2 when we always eat together in the canteen as a class.. and hanging out with the 'Fantastic 4' each time the band had a break during pracs..

i miss copying homework & physics TYS with 3/4 of my upper sec class.. hahaha.. and having so many ppl getting punished together with you as well..

i miss the days we hung out at JEC till 10pm almost everyday.. at Pandan reservoir trying to make stones 'skip' or just sitting there to chitchat..

i miss the rvcb days..

i miss some friends whom i lost along the way.. but i cherish the friends i've made along the journey too..

and that will definitely include you Chris, my dearest girl.. the one who stood by me from 1996 till today.. be it the diff classes we went to after sec2 streaming, the diff JCs and CCAs we joined, the diff interests and courses we took or even the diff countries we are in now.. im thankful cos u've always been there for me..

here's to our decade-long friendship! *bigHUG* love you to bits~

okays i better go sleep liao or else can't wake up again.. starting to work late & all.. this is when the real WORK begins.. so sleepy so sleepy.. give me strength to stay awake tmr.. =P

shar & mich, don't forget our meeting this thurs!

journey down 杨明山 din look too inviting.. so steep! steff see liao also 'sweat'..

started raining heavily while descending.. walked ard 杨明公园 and to see the 花钟(Flower Clock).. and so we started posing with our umbrellas in every photo.. 1 guy (read: joe) was trying to be cool & not hold umbrella.. but in the end rained so heavy he had no choice but to grudgingly pull out his brolly too, esp that he needed to take photos..

funny why we only took this pic of the gate when we were leaving the place.. cos we entered from the other side ma.. so exited frm the entrance.. haha.. so cool hor our umbrellas.. =P

how pathetic we looked.. i was alone on the other side of the road cos we weren't 100% sure which side to wait for the bus.. signs were abit misleading.. so i waited opp in case we missed the bus.. the bus stop no seats one, juz a miserable small signboard.. waited like 30mins for the bus to bring us to 北投 then took mrt to 淡水..

reached 淡水! rain was reduced to a drizzle.. we all prayed hard that no rain so we can see a beautiful sunset at 渔人码头..

(to be continued..)

2006-06-19T20:05:00.000+08:00

on the mrt to jiantan(i forgot how its written in chinese liao).. no one take photo for me....... *grumble*

quite fascinated with this, an emergency button in each of the cubicles in female toilets.. in case u ned help or face some trouble..

reached our mountain-climb starting point.. the guys wanted to ask abt our return journey first before we embarked on the morning climb..

clockwise frm bottom right: the happy ladies b4 climbing, 花痴 steff, the guys at the summit, steffie's daisies, 1st grp pic when my hair was in a mess, paranomic view of taipei city from the viewing tower..

with ken in front of the viewing tower @ summit of 杨明山..

thanks for all the well-wishes and smses asking if im better ya.. ya im much better le! still eating porridge and drinking soup cos my throat's very inflamed and hurts quite abit.. but at least i feel much better already..

im glad that i have quite a nice working environment and really pleasant colleagues, as compared to many i've heard abt who hate their work.. my 'customers' are the most difficult to handle but i'll be be better at it with more experience!

im starting to feel like im working as a private investigator.. =P

-for everything you are to me-

2006-06-18T23:49:00.000+08:00

after a long break.. another 5 photos.. hehs.. sorry been so busy and prob lack of sleep dat i fell so ill..

met up wif glads, jer, steff, joe & ken on fri night, went 6th ave Venezia for ice-cream.. was feeling a tad unwell during the day in the office and got worse when i was out with them.. anyways joe & steff bought me a cute mug for office!! so sweet of them.. thankiewss my dears~.. shall post a photo of it soon..

oh ya, went home & took decolgen then slept.. was shivering the whole night cos i had chills.. woke up at 7plus in the morning feeling utmost horrible can.. took another panadol and went back to sleep till late morning.. was groaning and making alot of noise in my rm cos i was in pain.. aching all over, head pain and body feeling so yucky.. by then, wasn't getting better so dragged myself down to see doc.. 39degrees fever.. urgh.. no wonder i felt like crap..

so slept the whole of my sat away, din manage to go for my jc class gathering.. sighs.. but lucky met up with my few closest classmates the night b4.. so dun feel so bad la.. anyways i felt so much better after taking 1st dose of my doc's medicine and after another nap.. doc gave me MC for Sat-Mon so by right im on MC tmr but im going to work la since im better, unless feel sick again then will go hm rest lor..

i got test tmr!

anyways i will try to figure how to make my blogger work, cannot post more than 5 pics leh.. will take so long to finish my whole taipei trip log lor.. and i got the esplanade performance pics to post as well..

ok some pics..

steffie & i b4 we started the climb up 杨明山.. still looking so eager and happy..

i was dying halfway up the hill lor.. the slope was so steep la! ken had to push me frm behind cos i couldn't move liao.. haha.. this pic happened to catch him when he missed his footing and slipped cos his climacool shoes got no grip on the wet pavement.. he 'performed' several of such stunts throughout the duration of the whole 杨明山 expedition.. hehe.. *oops i very evil*

at last we reached the summit! no one else was there to share our joy.. haha.. cos we climbed till it started raining.. group shot using the joe's tripod.. steady shot! but our hair not steady.. the wind so strong!

dat joe asked me not to tidy up my hair after the wind blew.. cos he wanted to take a picture like this!

haha.. after the summit, all our photos had umbrellas in them.. cos it rained non-stop from then onwards.. u shld see how stylo we all look with umbrellas.. hahaha.. they all had blue brollies except for me..
and joe so act cool, refused to hold umbrella until this pic cos rain got too heavy liao & he can't afford to get his camera wet.. hehe..

chris is coming back!! 6th July.. im so excited!! can't wait~
i missed u so much my dear.. U must call me the moment u reach singapore k! its been a year since i last saw u.. *hugs*

a long week ahead...

"...i'll be missing you.."

2006-06-12T23:09:00.000+08:00

the 鱿鱼庚 we ate.. its like thick cuttlefish soup..

and i made a mistake.. the name of the nice shaved ice shop is 3 siblings, not brothers.. i said 三兄弟 previously..

Day 2 breakfast.. super budget!! juz opp our hotel.. but food rather bland, like for older folks.. but very cheap la! i drank warm soya bean milk and ate a 馒头 (i like! sweet ones)..but their mantou was like plain.. totally plain, no taste.. haha..

and the xiaolongbao we ordered there as well.. the 3 of them ate a 蛋葱饼 or something like that.. but i dun like 葱 so i din eat.. ewww.. hehe..

taking the mrt by 淡水 line to 'jian tan' so we can take the bus to 杨明山, first stop of Day2!

okays, seems like i can only post 5 pics a day.. haiii....

2006-06-09T23:53:00.000+08:00

something is wrong cos i cannot post pictures at all.. ken changed my browser to Oprah instead of IE and seems like blogger's not working too well with it.. hmmmm....

anyways im using IE for this post now and i'll just post a few pictures k cos im really tired already.. the formatting is problematic still so my pics r not in order k.. kinda messy.. hehs..

the lotus that have yet opened in full view of ppl, according to wk.. and it was in full bloom the day i had my coffeeclub session.. yay~.. the session was at the pavillion upstairs and its like in the middle of a pond place with running water and lotus plants.. nice ambience!

ken & joe busy eating their Ah Zong Mian Xian..

steff & i..

this was secretly taken at the kopiclub session.. blankoed faces for confidential reasons cos they r all the directors, heads and deputy directors.. for our session they catered a thai buffet frm Siamkitchen.. food not bad but kinda oily..

my new colleagues and i~.. taking the 'newcomers' photo..

okays really got some prob loading photos, only managed to load 5 so i will juz stop here first b4 i lose the whole post..

*BIGYAWNnnnnn*

2006-06-01T00:30:00.000+08:00

laptop's finally reformatted! thanks to ken for staying up to help me finish the whole process..

just came back frm glads' belated bday celebration! had so much fun eating & catching up.. took photos too but my laptop not equipped fully with anitivirus prog and all so not too safe to connect to my external harddisk or SD card so i shall post pictures when everything has been properly installed k?

6 of us had dinner at suntec crystal jade kitchen, gave her a 9-in-1 hair styler to play with & a very sinful Chocz chocolate mousse cake.. its really yummyyyyy~.. then all had a drink at millenia tcc b4 going home.. tired but happy!

sorry for the delay ya.. not much time to blog cos im home so late everyday.. theory training has been quite fun so far, like a tutorial session.. except that i've never talked so much in a tutorial class b4.. juz keep asking questions and having a very interactive session with my in-charge wk..

she's super nice can.. and i really admire her for the way she works and her level of interpersonal skills..have not met someone like her b4.. though she was the one who really scared me during the gruelling interview session, i found out she's not like that at all.. was juz to test our hardiness i guess.. hehs.. she's quite wacky too & its fun sitting outside her cubicle, always get to witness her antics and all..

work's been pretty ok so far, other than me being drained and dead tired at the end of each day, pretty much enjoy my day at work cos i have really friendly and helpful colleagues! Yay~ but there's an 'iceberg' which i hope to melt with time.. =)

got my security pass made liao, super horrendous photo la but no choice, take liao.. made a big booboo with the 'loss' of my temp pass but im so glad i din lose it afterall.. haha.. chose maroon colour for the backing of my name card, so exciting!! got own name card~.. hehs sorry i quite suakoo cos this is my first job ma, din know can have name card..

name tag also being made liao, for use in interview rooms.. those 'private' meetings with my "clients"..*shudders*..one of the hurdles to cross for my job but i hope to handle well..

'coffeeclub' session on fri with the CEO, directors of the various divisions.. all the bigshots.. woah.. its a routine for newcomers.. a buffet lunch catered just for new staff to meet the impt ppl of the organisation.. i heard our menu's thai food & its pretty good, esp the soft shell crab! *drools*

lucky i din join alone so not so scary.. otherwise jus me, my section head and the unknown VIPs, would be so stressed.. got shernice with me! and a guy scholar who juz joined, so we got company..goodgood..

and a meeting with the head of HR and corporate dev dept on tues.. dunno why hafta meet all these impt ppl but received the email so will jus have to go and see wat goes on..

and i haven been feeling too well.. fever ok le but think cos of fatigue so been coughing quite badly and throat + nose combo is back even though im drinking lotsa of water.. hmm..

met keegan with glads yesterday for dinner at PS after work & that boy is still such a joker lor.. but he makes us laugh alot everytime we meet cos of his wit & antics.. priceless.. haha..

ok bathe then sleeping le.. i need to remind myself dat im working already, no more 2pm schdays or free days.. its 8.30am everyday and im on duty once every 2 saturdays.. the first is this sat cos my team is on shift.. will update soon once im more free.. and i promise there will be photos galore! hehe..

some leftover pics of Day1..

steff & joe at changi airport.. oh we were having sakae sushi after passing immigration.. and the usual salmon addicts (read: joe & i) had sashimi and i had my spicy salmon gunkan too.. hehehe..

the boys on board..

towards end of Day1.. wat is he eating???

and him too...?

its 猪血糕！wah i din dare to eat lor when i saw the sign.. but joe persuaded me to eat it after convincing me that it tastes like like muachee.. i took a small bite only.. and it really did taste like that! haha.. cos of all the peanut thingy..

okays will continue with Day2 etc another time k.. Day2 onwards got too many photos to process liao.. haha.. gimme some time.. thankiew.. i need joe & steff's pics too..

bedtime!

that's steff's giraffe and my xiaobai..
------------------------------

i wanted to blog abt work but i CANNOT, so hmm.. will juz say abit.. hahaha..

monday was basically quite slack since it was 1st day.. made a new fren! this pretty girl called Shernice, also a fellow geog major who's graduating this sem.. but wierd that haven really seen her b4 that.. anyways we click rather well & she's such a nice person! yay~ so we meet at mrt station to walk to office in mornings & take the mrt hm together after work.. not forgetting our lunches, toilet breaks, filling cups etcs..

day1 was like the handshake & intro day.. heard so many names, saw so many faces i can hardly rem any of them.. my division is supposedly the biggest in the company so there's more to come.. and we had the 2 hr long briefing for newcomers (6 of us, the other 4 r new too but already been there for a mth or 2 liao), i was so tired frm the flight & lack of sleep i actually dozed off abit.. OOps!

2 of us girls had lunch with deputy supt & supervisor.. both my small bosses.. is a usual practice for the boss to treat newcomers so we went to some nice chinese restaurant in tanjong pagar for lunch.. was hardly ingested cos we were kinda stressed sitting with them on first day of work..

oh ya! though im currently a temp, they gave me a workstation & its got my name there! took a pic wif my hp but haven uploaded it.. so another day la.. and i got a red metal cup! my favourite colour~ & got my own lotus note acct and domain on Day2..

but i wanna complain cos i dun have a nice username!! so sad lor.. shernice's one is 'shernice' and guess wat's mine? SLPNG.. argh! why cannot be shirlynn? now all my lotus notes, CAS etc all hafta log in with this SLPNG.. and wat im saddest abt is that at first glance i wondered why they gave me 'slping'(=sleeping) as userid.. maybe it had to do with me dozing off.. i looked ard & i think i must be the only one with a userid like that cos everyone else's seem to be their name.. hmph!

*sobs*

enuff of whinning.. loved Day2's orientation tour ard the building, including the city gallery & resource centre(library), gym, recreation centre & facilities, blahblahblah.. so fun taking the lift up and down! haha.. cheap thrill i admit..

anyways embarked on the 3mth training liao.. so starting to have work to clear already.. better than when we were reading the 'Survival Kit Textbook' on Day1 which is a folder that contains sheets of info to read & learn.. its as thick as my 2 modules worth of readings in a sem la! scary..

my workplace is surrounded by food havens lah.. North South East and West of the building.. im quite sure i will get fat.. sian..

okays i go bathe and sleep early liao! for once!!

seems like something good's in the brew.. *smile* and im happy abt it too.. hope all turns out well cos its looking gd so far=)

-a penchant-

2006-05-23T23:40:00.000+08:00

Day 1:

on the plane with steff.. had this super solid turbulence that made some girls scream on the plane.. haha.. scared us stiff lor.. cos we suddenly plunged.. our hearts almost jumped out..

arrived at CKS terminal 1..

see any point in this photo? hehe.. that's Kwon Sang Woo in samsung phone ad!

the 飞狗 (FreeGo) coach that we took from airport direct to our hotel at 西门.. cost us 135NT each.. that's ard S$6.75.. the seats were more comfortable than the airplane seats lor! i like the headrest cos can be adjusted to 'secure' our heads in place instead of rolling all over the place..

beng, see the group of ppl behind? can see auntie (shiyun) in blue? haha.. we took the same flight and coach.. and so 巧, the girl beside her is Esther, my lower sec classmate! the world is so small.. they were with their ntu classmates going on 15day backpacking tour ard taiwan..

4 of us!

1st stop after unloading our stuff in hotel.. 阿宗面线! but not fantastic leh.. its all pig intestines, no oysters one.. dunno why the hype over this stall.. alot of ppl lor.. we had good oyster mee sua at other places.. will blog abt that another day..

三兄弟's 芒果雪棉冰(i think i shld've remembered correctly) and the strawberry one.. SUPER YUMMY~.. like snow..

and our favourite haunt.. hahaha.. will elaborate on this again..

steff trying her luck! we spent so much time and $ there.. haha.. but had returns lah..

the dinosaur quite cute hor?

‘青蛙下蛋.. steff's favourite drink..粉圆加爱玉.. its like ice jelly with boba pearls..

okay something wrong with blogger photos.. can't load my 2 other pics of Day1..

will try do it tmr or something k.. need to sleep le!! keep dozing off at work.. haha

btw yes i started work liao~.. day2 of work is better than day1.. heh.. will tell u all more another day..

nights!

2006-05-15T10:13:00.000+08:00

okays i'll be sending in my laptop for reformatting later so this shld be my last and a very short entry b4 my trip.. got ambushed by some malicious spyware that is totally having fun irritating me by popping up now and then, and my adware cannot detect or remove it.. urgh..

stomach started feeling wierd again.. better buy more medicine in case it acts up during the trip.. hmm..

the wedding dinner last night was quite nice! at meritus mandarin hotel.. food was pretty good and the concept of the wedding presentation was quite sweet with a video presentation of what took place earlier that day for the wedding couple, including the sabotage and a series of obstacles for the groom & his frens.. was quite hilarious esp at the end of the clip when the couple did a thank you speech but the groom was like blanking out in front of the camera, dunno wat to say.. "Err..err.."

and he ended off with, "Dun sabo me & make me drink so much tonight! I have to WORK." and that got all the guests laughing.. haha..

anyways ive not exactly packed nor finished packing.. shall finish up by tonight.. hehs..

yay~ my trip starts tmr!! flight at 1pm so will be at airport by 10am or so.. eagerly anticipating the fun!

meeting my cousin to do some stuff.. gotta go!

love you!

2006-05-14T13:19:00.000+08:00

thanks wil!! he sent me the pics he took during the steamboat at glads' house..

im not sure if kel plays the piano.. but it juz seems so not him to be sitting there.. heheh..

preparing the food.. see how happy glads & i were, esp me.. cos there was alot of good food waiting to be cooked and eaten.. and i was really hungry then..

ken & i.. somehow i seemed slack in the photos..

halfway during the feast.. all the gleeful eaters..

the stars of that night!

fun shot! but can see some of them din play along.. *ahem*

jr took this.. quite artistic eh? through a ritter sport box.. and kel's expression is priceless.. haha..

the class im so fond of, Ao2~

-----------------------------
this was on fri nite.. 2nd night i was out with cousins..

clarke quay.. ming & di's 1st ROM anniversary.. they r really adorable together when they r not quarrelling.. hehs..

dat's me & xin.. forgot what we were trying to do.. and the couple in front of us was marie (jens' younger sis) & her bf.. 4 couples out together that night.. on our way to Hooters.. hehe..

something's weird with my stomach nowadays.. been having diarrhoea for no reason & feeling sick.. dun think i ate anything funny.. nonetheless, thanks to wy! told me abt the drinking 100plus cure (i tried that, it worked!).. and ms chan said to drink kopi O without sugar to cure diarrhoea.. my parents always used the soursop juice method..

can give them a try next time any of u has diarrhoea too.. whichever is available..

was a tad disappointed when it was confirmed that the SD performance will be taken out frm the esplanade concert cos the few of us practised so hard, esp the 3 of us who just picked it up and finally can play with the rest.. but after hearing the detailed explanation that it was due to logistical problems with transport and the stage arrangement, felt much better..

nevertheless, SD will still be performing for the july 9 'Yuhua in concert', so will continue to practise for that!

if free, try come down to watch the Beautiful Sunday concert on 11th June at 3pm k? free admission so can jus go watch.. but might have a long queue so do come a little earlier so u can get seats..

okays got a wedding dinner to attend tonight, lotsa stuff to get done b4 that.. so buai~

2006-05-11T11:46:00.000+08:00

kel's belated bday dinner at Brewerks last night..

this was the drafts selection sampler set that jer ordered.. We all tried some.. Eww.. i hate beer..

jer taking a sip frm the first glass.. we were supposed to drink in the order they arranged the glasses..

beer talk..

the fish & chips i shared with glads & jer.. portions were quite huge.. 3 pieces of fish.. we ordered grilled wings to share too.. had to save room for ice cream ma.. not bad! but couldn't taste the beer batter though..

Kel & his gf rs..kel must've been shaking his head at supersonic speed.. my shutter speed not fast enough to catch him.. heh.. they shared a big burger..

his elation upon receiving his bday gift frm us..

as the cologne says: Clinique HAPPY for Men.. kel trying to show his happiness..

walked and walked before we finally decided to settle at this gelato parlour at liang court.. artivo or something? glads & mua.. their peanut butter gelato is good! i had that & the oreo one..

kel revealing his violent tendencies.. but rs seemed all too willing still..

there's something evil in his smile.. haha.. rs had no eyes to look at him..

my favourite gang of 4 from jc.. =)

had a wonderful time with them, catching up and of cos, GOSSIPPING.. hahaha.. and i just found out a big secret too.. so exciting!! thanks for keeping me in the loop.. heh.. *winks*

the goldheart pendant i wanted so much to buy cos it6 was only $65 & i really liked the design.. saw it while we were shopping for shar's bday gift a yr plus ago i think.. at novena sq goldheart.. wanted to get it for myself & checked everywhere after that but they said was a christmas pendant & no longer in production.. oh well.. but i think i juz saw it again at citigems!! din get to check the price though.. shall go kpoh ard for fun.. =P

meanwhile also meeting up wif frens & so happy i spent a day with my favourite girls steff & glads.. had a gd sushi lunch at bugis sakae then went shopping.. they both bought stuff like clothes but i din cos im on a budget now for the trip.. heh.. must sacrifice first then can enjoy..

steff left us to go get her ipod nano so glads & i continued out shopping at cityhall.. had such a good time with them! been soooo long since ive been out with the both of them.. so im really happy today! we walked so much till my back was aching.. we went gelare for dinner cos tuesday is WAFFLES DAY~.. haha.. the only 'low' of today was when we got caught in the rain & had to run back to parco bugis.. heh but was quite funny cos glads & i were laughing like mad as we ran..

-and im glad that we do-

2006-05-07T23:37:00.000+08:00

my exams over last fri!! and i have a new blog template.. hehs.. but haven done the migration of template yet.. a simple one, changed to a new colour scheme.. hope it'll be pleasant to the eye! No pink this time.. hehe..

many thanks to ken for taking time to help me do it.. =)

anyways, had a whole day of band prac on sat.. first SD prac then go on to main band prac all the way till ard 9.. was pretty tiring but was worth every bit of my effort cos i can play 95% of 2 out of the 3 confirmed pieces for SD (steeldrums) liao.. and im happy they not playing kokomo anymore cos i cannot seem to catch the melody that im playing..

oh yes chris! i haven got the chance to tell u this..but im in the steelpan/steeldrum grp! its called JuzSteel and a short performance by the steeldrum ensemble will be included in the esplanade concert on june 11th.. boon was playing at first but not anymore due to some reasons.. so the only 3 rv ppl r wy, jan(our junior by many batches) & i, quite a rare opportunity & the experience has been pretty amazing so im really really glad i was given a chance to join them since it started off as a yuhua grp..

anyways girl, know u can't make it for the esplanade concert but no worries ya cos i'll be performing with the steeldrum grp again on 9th july.. will u be back by then? shld be right, since my grad's the following day.. then u can come watch me play!! =)

got this frm wy's blog.. Do go down if u r free that day k? Since its a free concert and on a sunday.. esplanade concert hall's seats r quite comfy, can jus go in and sit sit then listen to music.. hehe.. =P

paiseh wy, hope u dun mind me kapoh-ing it after reading ur entry cos i was going to scan & post the pic but since u edited it & made it 'right' liao so i use urs k.. saw what u wrote & i agree totally.. understand what u mean.. realised it only when i was home yesterday & reading the pamphlet in detail.. then read it in ur entry too.. sighs.. really quite sad..

hey

had quite a fun prac on sat.. was my first main band prac since i took a mth's leave frm band prac for exam break.. only attended SD pracs for short while every sat during exam period cos i was still learning how to play & concert's in abt a mth's time.. din stay for main band though since i was on leave & also easier to practise for main band parts..

yc so cute lor, actually asked us to pose twice for a mini section photo in the middle of prac while ms chan was concentrating on other sections.. shall post the 2 shots up when i get them.. we posed with the fear of being caught.. was pretty exciting though.. hehe..

whole week of programmes lined up before my taipei holiday on 16th.. really looking forward to a rewarding trip! exciting cos we're doing it free & easy.. juz 4 of us, planning wat to do and where to go for the 6days.. on a tight budget though.. practically emptying my bank account to non-existence for this trip alone.. 1K goes *Poof* for air tix, accommodation, transport and expenses.. sighh.. but i WILL enjoy it~

sidetracking... sometimes i wonder if certain persistence in my beliefs and expectations do more harm than good..

someone once said, "no expectations = a pleasant surprise for every small thing that's done"
is that really how things shld be..? maybe im juz being hard on myself & ppl ard me..

jus for that one day.(make it two)

maybe its becos i thought it makes a difference cos its just for that one day.. not everyday.

still, shouldn't tranpose our own perspectives onto others, not being fair.. cos its juz me being me.

im sorry, didn't mean it..

2006-05-01T22:06:00.000+08:00

Happy Labour Day holiday to all! True enough im still "happily" labouring away today.. *bigSIGH*

tagboard seems to be down cos i can't see anything.. hmm.. will reply msgs when i next check it k..

4 more days to salvation..

can't wait.

going bonkers stuck at home for so long....... this must be my longest exam period..... *whines*

all my 'power & imagination', 'scale & identity', 'moral geographies'.. PLEASE get digested!!

amidst all the melancholy & depressive tensions building up within me,

still blessed.

but i miss you.. =(

Love Corrinne May's songs.. a momentary reprieve from all the exam stress.. she's really a Singaporean we ought to be proud of..

want to get her latest album cos can't seem find her songs anywhere else..
have the previous album's songs liao but not this..
New album 'Safe In A Crazy World' is nice!

if interested, go to her website at http://www.corrinnemay.com/ and u can listen to both her albums there! datz wat i did..

here's the title track of this album and i think its pretty good..

Corrinne May
-SAFE IN A CRAZY WORLD-

I try to smile my tears away
I try to keep my cool
Oh but one more door gets in my way
I feel like such a fool
Trampled and bitter
My heart just wants to bleed
and stop believing in me

It feels like nothing is for certain
and that nothing comes for free
When they're lowering the curtain
to the theatre of my dreams
I stumble and I crumble and I'm
Sinking to my knees but you
You cradle me

Chorus:
You keep me flying
You keep me smiling
You keep me safe in a crazy world
You understand me
Embrace my fragility
You keep me safe in a crazy world
And in your arms I find the strength
to believe in me again

Noise keeps chasing me
No matter where I go
Oh and life likes pretending that it's
On a TV show
When it's hard to tell what's real
From what the world just wants to preach
You are the voice I seek

You keep me flying
You keep me smiling
You keep me safe in a crazy world
You understand me
Embrace my fragility
You keep me safe in a crazy world

Bridge:
'cause when I'm wrapped up in your arms
Nothing else can touch me
What a wonderful way to recharge
I feel like I can breathe again

You keep me flying
You keep me smiling
You keep me safe in a crazy world
You understand me
Embrace my fragility
You keep me safe in a crazy world
And in your arms I find the strength
to believe in me again..

------------------

urghh.. feels horrible being imprisoned at home..

can't go anywhere, wanna do something else also cannot.. really long dreary period........

table strewn with the sea of readings dat i've to plough through.. so many papers to read, so many tiny words.. giving me a headache..

exam periods never fail to make me feel horribly depressed & allow me to experience the worst of mood swings..

sleep-deprived too, but not making much progress still..

so much to read.. so much to study.. so much to memorise.. 3 more papers.. 3 more......

ahhhh...

i am so sO STRESSED.

very neglected, by myself..

seriously think i need to pamper & cheer myself up more.

im drowningggggggg.......

sorry for being completely random & disorganised, thoughts rather fragmented now..

"手牵手一步两步三步四步望著天
看星星一颗两颗三颗四颗连成线
背对背默默许下心愿
看远方的星如果听得见
它一定实现.."

"...........想这样没担忧唱着歌一直走.."

-要手牵着手-

needs a hand and a reassuring hug.

Craig David
-Unbelievable-

Always said I would know where to find love,
Always thought I'd be ready and strong enough,
But some times I just felt I could give up.
But you came and you changed my whole world now,
I'm somewhere I've never been before.
Now I see, what love means.

[Chorus]
It's so unbelievable,
And I don't want to let it go,
Something so beautiful,
Flowing down like a waterfall.
I feel like you've always been,
Forever a part of me.
And it's so unbelievable to finally be in love,
Somewhere I never thought I'd be.

In my heart, in my head, it's so clear now,
Hold my hand you've got nothing to fear now,
I was lost and you've rescued me some how.
I'm alive, I'm in love you complete me,
And I've never been here before.
Now I see, what love means.

[Chorus]

When I think of what I have, and this chance I nearly lost,
I can't help but break down, and cry.
Ohh yeah, break down and cry.

[Chorus]

Now I see, what love means.
---------------------------

thanks to all who've been showing so much concern ya.. not exactly getting better yet but i think i will la.. hehe..

the trip to the sch doc almost took my life.. made me cry for the first time at the doctor's when im so grown up liao.. i din wail or bawl loudly lah, jus the soft "owww.." and tears rolling off that kind.. *sniffsniff*

was an excruciating experience & i dun wanna repeat what happened liao.. haha cos it reminds me of the physical pain.. will definitely learn my lesson frm now on.. dun go to the sch doc if u have a bad injury or wound.. =P

but then again, its also now i realise how a smiling and caring nurse can really lesson ur pain and make ur day when u r not well.. =)

steffie's teeth broken! met her awhile in sch today and poor girl doesnt wanna talk much cos its so traumatising.. i see already i also feel the pain.. luckily her nerves removed frm the 2 teeth liao.. but it was the 3cm syringe needle the dentist used for injecting anesthetic that made her cry.. come, give u big *HUG* for being a brave girl..

heard a nice song!! 'Every time we touch' (Yanou's Candlelight Mix) by Cascades.. who has who has? heh..

best quote i heard today:

"if Science doesn't consist of competing theories but instead has 1 unified theory believed and accepted by all.. it is not called Science anymore..

... it is called Religion" hehs..

-i feel the static-

2006-03-26T19:54:00.000+08:00

Like Lin JunJie's new song..

-Sarang Heyo 只对你说-

Monologue:
[Its been so long baby,
So many hours so many days
我心里的这一句话还是想对你说
Sarang Heyo..]

站在寂寞的舞台上
灯光下拖着自己的影子
音乐重复我们共同的忧伤
不是每一次的演唱
就可以淡忘明天没有你
in my heart we'll never be apart

残留手上的香味提醒我
在数位相机里留下的承诺
每一封简讯传出的思念
都对你说

Chorus:
*Sarang Heyo, means i love you
代表着我离不开你
每分每秒每一个声音
只有你撒娇会让我微笑
Sarang Heyo, 只对你说
i will love you and forevermore
我答应 baby you will see
每一个我都属于你*

残留手上的香味提醒我
在数位相机里留下的承诺
每一封简讯传出的思念
都对你说

[Chorus]

oh baby i will love you because
我都属于你

---------------------
seems to be an unlucky period.. az's finger got cut & got stitched, bandaged up like a drumstick..hope it recovers soon..

and im in pain too.. argh.. an insect bite that got inflammed and developed an infection.. so huge now.. on my left hip bone.. its really really painful.. feel like crying.. think i need to see doc if it continues to swell cos i cannot sit properly.. hurts when i try to sit down or stand up cos it tugs at the skin.. really hope the swelling subsides soon.. -Owwww..-

woke up with a sore left eye this morning.. slightly infected cos was all red and watery.. but now better already.. dunno wat's wrong with me too.. urgh..

*huggies*

2006-03-24T15:07:00.000+08:00

i got the call!

got offered the job~ but they want me to start as temp staff after my exams and will offer me the proper contract once i get my degree..

hehs.. dat was wat i was so busy with.. interviews and preparation for the grilling sessions..

12 candidates shortlisted for 1st round, i got through to 2nd round with 3 other ppl.. and jus got notified abt being selected! not sure how many got through though.. hopefully im not the only one.. haha.. cos its kinda stressful.. seriously..

oh i haven mentioned wat job?

i'll be working as a public liaison officer (PLO) at URA.. quite a mentally and emotionally challenging job actually.. hmm.. and i guess the temp stint will allow me to decide if i wanna join them officially cos that's what they want me to seriously consider before i sign the appointment..

but still, getting through the 2 rounds of selection thinking i totally flopped is still somewhat encouraging, esp since its my first official job interview! haha.. i already had a backup plan if i didn't get it.. but i really think its worth a try la even though it is not an easy job.. hmm..

ok going for my 5pm tutorial and 6pm lec! Tataz~

2006-03-23T22:21:00.000+08:00

Jann Arden -Insensitive-

How do you cool your lips, after a summer's kiss
How do you rid the sweat, after the body bliss
How do you turn your eyes, from the romantic glare
How do you block the sound of a voice
You'd know anywhere

Oh, I really should've known
By the time you drove me home
By the vagueness in your eyes, your casual goodbyes
By the chill in your embrace
The expression on your face that told me
Maybe you might have some advice to give
On how to be insensitive, insensitive, insensitive

How do you numb your skin, after the warmest touch
How do you slow your blood, after the body rush
How do you free your soul, after you've found a friend
How do you teach your heart it's a crime to fall in love again

Oh, you probably won't remember me
It's probably ancient history
I'm one of the chosen few
Who went ahead and fell for you
I'm out of vogue, I'm out of touch
I fell too fast, I feel too much
I thought that you might have, some advice to give
On how to be insensitive

Oh, I really should've known
By the time you drove me home
By the vagueness in your eyes, the casual goodbyes
By the chill in your embrace
The expression on your face that told me
Maybe you might have some advice to give
On how to be insensitive

---------------------
a song i recalled again when i heard it recently.. still think its nice..

the little things that matter, or maybe don't..

a little, maybe just a little.

2006-03-22T19:04:00.000+08:00

my section at the bowling tournament.. the only one not in prev pics is fauzi, our new alumni percussionist cos he jus graduated.. i like his funky specs~

why yc, wy and az all use orange balls?

my junior, sectionmate and bowling partner, jw! we still not bad la.. haha.. but bowling was quite fun overall!.. the last time i bowled was many many many years ago..

there's this new chinese(hk) singer i just found out about, called Janice 卫兰 and her english songs are so nice!! but i can't find the lyrics so cant post.. will do so when i find the lyrics to some of her songs k..

-唯独你是不可取替-

2006-03-20T22:11:00.000+08:00

the last time i blogged was not long ago ma.. but i got complained against.. hahaha.. okok..

feel a HUGE load lifted off my chest today.. easier than the prev time though it seriously got me thinking if this is wat i want.. nonetheless it was nice talking to wk and she doesn't seem as scary as i thought.. =)

anyways, the right side of my body aches so much after bowling on sunday!! my right forearm, right leg and another major muscle (actually its fat la) on the lower body.. hehe.. owww.. i only got to exercise one side of my body for bowling ah.. unbalanced leh..

ok here are the photos:

my partner, jw taking his ball.. and is that sanjay flying in the background?!? hehehe..

and jw flies too.. i dun think i strike a nice pose when i bowl.. think i look like a duck.. haha.. lucky no photos of me.. sometimes i realise im on the wrong footing when i get to the line and i actually skip(literally) a little to change my foot.. hahahah.. i must've been a joke..

what wy and yc chatting abt?

just hanging around..

azr concentrating..

ARGH. blogger's photo upload tool got prob again.. can't upload after these 5.. i'll try again k.. meanwhile be contented with these 5 first.. hehe..

2006-03-16T22:42:00.000+08:00

suffered the worst case of insomnia last nite.. tossed and turned in bed for 2 whole hours before i finally slept at 5am.. when i am supposed to wake at 6.40am..

no more tea for me at night next time.. esp when im stressed..

ahh.. wed so busy, thurs so busy and tmr supposed to be free also so busy.. still got report to rush.. need to send by sat.. and my weekends also packed!! so there goes whole of this week.. mon is project submission and an impt appointment for me in the afternoon which i NEED to prepare for..

dilemna.. first combined sd prac on sat at 2.30 so i really think i shld be there early since i cant play anything yet.. but if i cant get my part for the grp report finished by tmr and sent out, dun think its possible already.. sighs.. and band prac 5-9..

sun morning's bowling tournament! din get to practise with wy and azri yesterday cos of the hsbc thingy.. just hoping to ROLL the ball well during the competition.. haha.. but heard frm wy that jw's not bad la so.. GOOD! will tell him to forgive me for being such a lousy partner..but i will play to the best of my abilities of cos~

27th reflexive writing deadline.. then cultural proj that's nowhere near starting but presentation and report submission deadline looming near as well..

And my first exam on 10th Apr (final quiz they call it but its the same thing.. 100% C.A lor).. i really need to start working on the cheat sheet thingy soon even if i S/Ued it..

1 more gruelling grilling round to go.. and its supposed to be worse.. never expected today to be so tough! totally got stumped at some point..

Ahh.. i shall better mentally prepare myself..

i know im speaking in tongues sometimes but im quite uncertain abt things for the time being.. will definitely tell when/IF the time comes k!

-busy as a bee-

just a little time, a little while.. will suffice.

Craig David's 'Unbelievable'.. anyone?

2006-03-14T23:28:00.000+08:00

pretty champagne roses in a vase..

at the wedding dinner at Hyatt hotel.. the kids with his grandma..

my never-ending supply of red wine.. kept getting refilled when i din want it..

the bride and groom.. groom got sabotaged to sing a song for the bride and she was so sweet to help him out cos he was dying of embarrassment..

ken, noel and jo..

------------------------
ate the smelly beancurd at the pasar malam at jurong east.. almost fainted from the smell and the way my mouth stank after that.. like some decomposing thing.. ewww.. only wierd ppl like huan like it.. hahaha.. 臭豆腐，真的好臭！！

and spent such a loooong time squatting at popular flipping through secondary sch textbooks for my gender grp project..

for tmr and thurs, still keeping my fingers crossed..

such a busy and stressful week.. sighs.. and have to finish my part of the report by sat for wen to do the conclusion then still got a final edit b4 mon's submission.. and not forgetting sat prac frm 2.30-9pm and sunday morning's alumni bowling tournament..

time.. i really need more time..

only good thing is i had a sweet sleep last night.. hmm.. must be the wine.. =)

sweet dreams

2006-03-13T00:25:00.000+08:00

michie~

pretty babes!

i like this pic cos they look so happy.. with the menu?!?

hahah.. cute not? we're like happy kids lor.. and nel is really on abt it, complete wif knife and fork!!

i love these ppl to bits!

-------------------------
ming's marital home.. a sneak preview..

i like the colour scheme!

and i love L-shaped sofas.. this zigzag wooden bench is so unique! the dining table will be placed at the crevice area so the bench doubles up as seats for the dining table as well as for guests who are watching tv or wat.. i like this one!

took a view of the main door area.. the brown cupboard is the altar for their thai buddha statue.. i told her it looks 'holy' cos there's a blue neon light inside the glass area.. din take it in this pic though..

what's this?

ohh.. entrance to the kitchen!

the kitchen.. u can see the washing machine kept within a 'cage-like' structure.. haha.. i was lame enuff to ask her what crime it committed to be imprisoned this way.. black kitchens look quite stylo.. u wun see the dirt or mess u create on the preparation table.. as clearly.. hehe..

master bedroom.. the greenish frame is part of the design.. its hollow.. i attempted to stand behind there and get her to take a pic of me to prove my pt but i realised i wld look silly..

and i discovered the right most wardrobe opens up to reveal her dressing table! doesnt look like it yet without the mirror and cosmetics but will soon be la.. quite smart eh.. wun take up extra space.. can hide it inside the cupboard when not using..

yay! got stadium opposite her place! still being built la, jurong west stadium or wat im not sure but next time we can go swim swim, sing sing and play there then stay over.. haha.. good good~

good luck to myself for the coming week.. lotsa stuff lined up.. *crosses fingers*

never thought this could be so stressful.. many more considerations than i had expected myself to think abt.. sighs..

worlds apart.

2006-03-11T10:26:00.000+08:00

going bangkok wif steff, joe and ken ard mid-may.. yay!! haven booked though cos we're trying to confirm details first.. but shld be a 5D4N thingy.. so excited!! cos ive been dying to go there.. haha.. only thing is pity glads can't join us cos she going shanghai wif her st.nicks bunch liao so have to budget abit..

i wanna go on a trip wif chris too.. but cos she's back only for short periods of time so quite hard to plan 1.. but girl, if u think can.. we shall plan one ok?? even if a short one also can.. wld be fun!!

digressing, i spent over $50 at watsons on thurs.. gosh.. i wonder why i always spend the bulk of my money this way.. in sec sch i can easily chalk up bills of $20-30 buying stationery at Popular.. haha.. chris knows abt this cos we were all the same.. buying bookmarks, coloured pens, files, pretty letter paper and i cant even rem what else already.. but mostly are stuff to give or write to friends..

those were the days everyone spent most of their time and money getting stuff for frens.. actually i still do even till now.. saw the boxes and boxes of notes, letters and gifts from frens since sec sch while i was springcleaning for CNY and it really made me smile when i read through some of them..

how funny how friendships change sometimes even without you realising..

okays, time to prepare for prac cos im meeting wy at 2.30 for prac.. im trying something new and its so exciting even just learning it!! there are times i feel like i've been so stagnant and in fact slackening in my percussion skills esp after i entered jc cos we don't practise strokes the way we did back in rv.. which is such a pity.. im striving to improve that cos i dun want to lose this something that ive been proud of in my life.. and of cos to pick up something new is what i wanna achieve as well..

performing is not my priority, the mere process of playing is what keeps me going..

keeping fingers crossed for next week..

was listening to Don Mclean's song after hearing the korean actor sing to his gf in 'My boyfriend is Type B' and so it goes...

... "and i love you so.."

simply classic.

i felt as though i dreamt through today..

finally went to my exclusive club last night.. the one i hold VIP membership at..

yes, i went to say hi to my family doctor.

urghh.. and it was the usual "oh, its u again? same ailments ah?? let me see.. nose and throat got prob this time or issit stomach flu??"

im such a good patient of him lor, i know all his routine liao.. listen to breathing, open mouth and make myself feel like puking to let him see my throat, and then he doesnt have to waste his icecream stick on me.. haha.. cos im the model patient for every doctor..

i usually dun like to visit him cos its so expensive can.. i usually walk in for less than 3 mins, walk out and the consultation plus medicine is like $30 liao.. gosh.. too bad they dun allow me to buy antiobiotics without prescription cos its a controlled drug.. otherwise can save money..

anyways i finally went to see him cos my nose's been blocked with a thich mucus for almost 3 weeks liao.. and my throat got infected too.. some viral infection of the nose, needed his antibiotics to clear it so no choice.. esp since i realised dat traces of blood started appearing on my tissue.

not good, MUST see dr cheong liao.

his memory is quite gd, still rem the things i said to him like where im studying and all.. asked if i was graduating.. yupyup~

took my med after i went home and i slept so well last night, woke up feeling so energized.

then came my mistake of taking antibiotics AND my cough syrup.

i only read the fine print of "May cause drowsiness" after i drank it down.

uh oh.

prepared to go sch meet steff & glads for lunch + to do some work b4 my 6pm lecture..

glads had proj so i ate at genki with steff first then we went forum to look for g.

while waiting at yih canteen for steff, the cough syrup took effect liao & i was falling asleep can.. really so drowsy ehh.. and the antibiotics made me feel so lifeless, totally drained of energy..

so in the end i went home instead of staying for the lec.. sighs..

slept frm 3 to 6pm.. haha.. i slept so much can.. the night before also slept 8 hrs or more liao.. woke up in time to eat dinner..

ken came to visit me with a tin of ninjiom sweets(i like these eh) and a little note.. thanks dear! still try to bluff me somemore hor..

took my 3rd dose of medicine for the day liao.. looks like im concussing anytime..

my msn nick "High on cough syrup" seemed to have an effect on my frens cos i seldom have so many msgs coming in to ask abt it.. haha.. but dav's one was funny cos he msged me with "I ask polis go catch u!".. zt also said something like "You drug addict ah?" hehe..

hahah.. and yes, i will rem to ask dav along for our outings next time IF we r not singing k.. must rem he doesnt like to sing..

林俊杰's new song '原来' is quite nice..

okays i go orhorh liao.. long day tmr, band prac! must rem not to take the cough med or else im gone for the whole day liao.. hope i still have energy to play..

Zzzzzz..

saw a face that looked so sad today, ready to cry again anytime.. tot i haven seen that face for a long time.. but in a way its a gd thing too.. sounds sadistic right? haha.. no lah cos u all wun understand.. pls dun be sad k?just give yourself more time babe.. *hugs*

你拥有最灿烂的笑容。。

-so smile for me-

2006-02-23T14:27:00.000+08:00

saw this on the scores we got on sat to practise.. such a familar logo.. brought back so many memories.. joining the band was something i've never regretted.. and its one of the grestest love and passion in my life even till this day..

it was through rvcb that i found the bestest bestest friend in my life.. i believe we all know who she is.. hehs..

and in njcsb also, my best pals like glads darling, jer and kel..

oh, and not forgetting one more person i met there.. hmmhmm..

-----------------------------
xin's 22nd bday on sat 18th at downtown east, courtesy of her doting bf.. i went over with ming on fri to help out her & dl.. di(ming's husband) joined later and i was such an extra with the 2 couples lor cos we went fisherman's village for supper and its such a romantic place by the sea.. haha..

i seldom get to play lightbulb but dat night i was exceptionally bright lor.. nonetheless, my first time eating there and i must say its a really nice place.. just a little dark to eat, could hardly see any small buggies that might have dropped into our food.. haha..

ming's fren owned the most 'happening' restaurant/bar there so we enjoyed discounts and got to choose any songs we wanted them to play.. woo..

went home in the wee hours of the morning cos decided not to stay there since i've band prac the next day.. met azri & wy for late lunch at jp swensens and azri made it his treat.. thanks ya az, next time our turn! was drizzling but we reached yuhua on time.. i left early for xin's bbq and cake-cutting..

her star cake! xin's another star-fanatic.. went all over to find a cake shop that makes star-shaped cakes.. finally found it at prima deli.. the strawberries on top look so yummy can!!

ming & i borrowed xin's bouquet to pose for the photo.. heh.. the 100 roses were handmade by dl for xin.. and the 1 purple rose in the middle is supposed to represent "u're my one and only".. its real pretty! took him 1 whole day to finish it.. woah.. and he did a pretty good job cos the roses looked very nicely made.. nicer than the ones i tried making in the past.. haha..

the couple.. very shy hor cos everyone staring while they took this photo.. heh..

dl's army buddies are really gd buddies.. he "hired" them as official bbq chefs for the night to help him manage.. and they did it without complaints! got ordered ard abit lor but they still were very nice abt it and cooked + served all the guests food..

taken with family..

ken & i..

with the lovely bday babe! her bday on 22nd actually.. 1 more day~ hope u like the emporio armani white perfume we got u..
took this with my hp.. not bad eh but the flashlight gives a bluish glow to ppl's faces..

--------------------------------------
kbox wif joe and ken this afternoon.. i mean, yest..

joe said girls like to do this cos will make their face smaller.. hey it din work for me! hahaha..

the guys..

3 of us.. the last photo while ken was sober..

cos this was how he looked after taking ONE tequila pop.. was flushing red hot and face swelled abit.. oh dear.. think his allergy is really quite serious.. and he started feelin tipsy & sleepy.. took a short nap in the end.. ok, no more alcoholic drinks for u next time..

sang from 3-7pm then joe sent me to cityhall to meet my pj classmates for dinner and he went dating with ken.. oh well.. haha..

had dinner at citylink's asian kitchen.. food's so-so only.. then coffee at raffles city starbucks.. the guys.. was so surprised david(li) was there too! cos we hardly see him during sec sch gatherings.. and his memory is so bad la! asked me how come he knows zl(our classmate) cos he forgot where they met.. sec 3 & 4 classmates la for goodness sake..

then he dropped another bomb on me that confirmed he has limited memory space.. he thought i was from 4G la!!! wah.. i told him earlier that zl's our classmate then later he went like "Eh, u from 4G one right?" *faints*

dav ah.. need to recharge ur battery liao..

anyways, haven met them for goodness knows how long.. talked alot.. gossiped alot too.. heheh.. was kinda nice talking abt funny incidents frm the past.. dav, dy and beng..

2006-02-12T14:02:00.000+08:00

had AGM yesterday evening at yuhua followed by section dinner at westmall sakae.. was in quite a rush cos meeting got delayed and so were everything else that followed.. din get to eat lunch b4 the AGM & the meeting ended ard 8 so i had gastric till i wanna faint liao..

during the meeting, sat with zt and he got really annoyed with someone.. wah i was so scared he'll suddenly explode and turn back to shout at the person.. luckily he din.. but he did mutter something angry under his breath though.. oops.. but i understood how he felt la.. juz dat i kept quiet abt it.. and we kept shaking our heads at each other in resignation.. heh..

my section ran off so fast aft the AGM cos all were so hungry liao.. had a hard time catching up cos wy & yc ran so fast lor..

had somewhat mixed feelings during the meeting, dunno why too.. i think u have been a very capable leader who's well-deserving of the band's respect.. and it's kinda hard to see u step down & leave the band.. nonetheless, its ur choice & im sure u have ur reasons for it.. still, wanna thank you for all that u've done..

dinner was my usual favourite so enjoyed it.. plus it was the first time we ate out as a section (not in full attendance though).. they kept asking why i only eat salmon.. haha.. i dunno why too but cos i like it alot ma..

left early cos already postponed the other gathering back by an hr plus.. left them my sakae card and rushed to jp.. they all reached liao except me.. and were all sitting like '不良少年' on the stairs of the overhead bridge when i arrived.. haha..

so happy to see gz back!but he's leaving again rather soon la.. yh was there too, not our regular but still welcomed..

took photos at dinner & the gathering as well but haven uploaded yet.. will post aft ive uploaded k.. and wy, i'll send u when i get them loaded ya~

had a ULTRA long but good talk.. =)

and arguing with jo + huan (ultimate combo) on the phone is really hilarious.. i laughed till i almost rolled on the floor cos huan + i couldnt stop shouting at each other & jo always gimme the "i already said my piece liao, u go reflect" kinda response.. sorry la, i bluffed u about doing work.. haha.. jo felt so "betrayed".. i really brought my work lor!

i think im somewhat moody lately, maybe its the stress of many things on my mind.. hope things will get better next week..

on a good note, steff's nie application and interview got through! happy for my babe.. my turn to send out my resume.. finally got it done.. Phew..

ken got me the pink nokia 6111 for vday.. gave it to me early cos he was afraid they'll run out of stock again.. thanks dear, its really nice..

oh ya, i like ryan cabrera's song 'Photo'.. anyone has it?

萧萧's new album is quite nice! esp the tracks '想忘了', '对不起我爱你', 'Clumsy' and '忽略'..

got clamped by the bus door on thurs while boarding bus to go sch.. hurt like anything.. and i was so angry cos the bus driver jus closed the door while i was boarding & he reopened it when i went "OUCH".. and thing is, he jus looked at me, turned away and never did say sorry..

URGH. i din say anything, was so angry at first cos it was so painful okie. wanted to complain abt his irresponsible & rude behaviour but later i decided not to la, maybe he needs the job to support his family, maybe it was juz a bad day for him.. give chance ma.. haha..

heard Corrinne May sing live at the arts buzz @ central forum.. she's really really good..

this entry's quite fragmented cos my thoughts are as such too.. heh.. sorry abit it..

a song corrinne may sang that day..

-------------------------------
-Everything in its time-

Sometimes I wonder what lies ahead
How long till my hunger is fed
They say it's hard to make it in this part of town
So many people on this merry-go-round

Some folks try astrology
Some turn to crystal balls
To find an answer,
To get through it all
I just fall on my knees and I try to pray
In the silence I can hear Him say

The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you, the answer will come
Hold on to patience and watch for the sign
Everything in its time

I often feel like I'm two steps behind
Somebody must have moved that finish line
There are a thousand reasons
Why I should give up
But I'm stubborn in the things I believe

The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you, the answer will come
Hold on to patience and watch for the sign

'cause maybe there's another plan
One I still can't see
A little surprise, like your love in my life
Funny how time changes how we see

The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you, the answer will come
Hold on to patience and watch for the sign
Everything in its time
Everything in its time

yay! see my jackets r not in a huge heap now.. only my belts on a clothes hanger.. i hung my jackets with my tops in the wardrobe..

i packed my room liao and decided to fold all my spag & tube tops into a drawer, then fold all my sleeveless tank/racerbacks, group them by my own way of categorization and display them as above..

BUT surprisingly after i threw out so many bags of clothes, my wardrobe still looks full leh.. hahaha.. think its cos i packed my jackets in.. they r all on the extreme left of the wardrobe.. how come still looks messy huh.. but slightly neater liao.. right?? hehs..

i was looking at my old passport.. the one that was supposed to expire this year but i got it changed juz b4 i left for the States, in case they stop me from leaving due to name and photo issues..

i still laugh at myself each time i see my signature cos nobody told me im supposed to replicate my signature if neccessary.. i just signed according to my latest "invention" at that point in time.. i was in secondary one btw.. and smiley faces with stuck-out tongues were pretty cool THEN..

and i wun show u all the photo datz on that passport.. hahah..

glads & i after a round of photocopying in the sch lib.. taken in the central library..

climate lab was pretty fun today.. playing with the psychrometer cos we were supposed to take some measurements for humidity.. we looked like the "crazy geog students" as steff said.. and we ate cheesy mushroom during the practical.. hehs..

joe bowling at cdans after our cny visit to capt han's place.. practising for his tournament while ken & i watched..

the new s'pore singer Jocie ( 郭美美 ) has a song i like.. called '勾勾手'.. it has a sweet melody & her voice's quite unique.. sounds like a mix of celest chong & hmm.. i dunno who.. haha.. here are the lyrics..

--------------------
心　被海风吹过
咸咸的自由
还隐隐作痛
当太阳沉没
我们的故事全剧终

伤　被时间追过
今天的自由
是一道彩虹
带我迎接明天最亮的晴空
抹乾眼泪往前走
用微笑召唤幸福海鸥

Chorus 1:
我们勾勾手
不准不快乐
就把舍不得
都丢进回忆的黑洞尘封

我们勾勾手
如果遇见更好的人
一定要更坚强
勇敢去追求

Chorus 2:
我们勾勾手
要比谁都快乐
就把舍不得
都丢进成长的黑洞尘封

我们勾勾手
如果遇见更好的人
一定更坚强
勇敢去追求

一定更坚强
把爱勇敢追求..

2006-01-24T14:18:00.000+08:00

photo from jer.. he took this when he went bangkok.. the sunflowers nice right??

i like the pandas!! so cute right.. from the MTM skincare ads..

gathering with some of my ex-colleagues from notebook loans team at swensens.. after dinner, ice-cream!! should see how we fought for the ice-cream when it came.. and we left the yucky green pistachio almond for azzlina & uncle ryan.. haha.. frm left: mingui, gabriel, fabian & keewee..

why got spoon sticking out from my head? with MG..

our 2nd dessert.. apple crumble!! all can't wait to attack..

lin & uncle quite lugi cos they kept working on the project while the rest of us gluttons were eating away.. maha busy talking on the phone..

foodbuddies! me and gabe..

all busy eating..

foodbuddy1..

foodbuddy2, me.. must do same pose..

and they were still doing the gowns project.. aiii.. no more dessert liao lor.. ryan in charge of the nus graduation gown system for his FYP.. so i'll be the 1st batch using his system if i graduate by this sem.. lin is co-op staff in charge of gowns..

finally he got to eat the crumbs we left for him.. i had to take a break..

the whole group..

my bro tian & ken.. he went simlim to help my bro choose a hard disk..

im his elder sis! why ppl keep saying im the younger one??

okay going for my lec.. 4pm.. today doing physics.. ahh.....

2006-01-21T18:31:00.000+08:00

the very "special" calendar steff made.. gave one each to me and glads.. so cool!! hahaha.. and a cute postcard as well.. thanks babe!

my sci lec is driving me nuts.. these 2 weeks have been so much chem + bio.. and the physics component haven come yet lor.. never touched bio before and ive long returned chemistry to the 1 teacher dat gave up on me..

phospholipids, polypeptide chains, triglycerids, haworth projection.. WT?!?

im learning from scratch and its really not easy.. brain switches off halfway during lec cos its too fast for me to understand.. guess i have to spend more time studying it during my free time with kenny's help of cos.. taking this mod with him and he's breezing through it lor cos he's a trip-sci student in jc and now doing lifesci..

and he so yaya can, always tell me things even b4 the lecturer says it.. "this is a peptide bond... blahblah.. that is a kink.." and then smile at me when the lecturer finally teaches it later.. *pui* horrible you!!! urgh..

got 11 quizzes, 1 each lec.. actually 10 but some ppl go email prof abt missing 1 lec due to them travelling during CNY period so worried will affect their CA.. then now he add 1 more quiz and say will take our best 10 scores.. so its ok to miss 1.. but now got 1 extra quiz lor..

1st quiz was pretty easy, and somemore its MCQ, open book and can discuss one so i can talk to kenny during the test and argue if the answer is B or D.. eh but he gave 1 wrong answer, lucky i discovered the trick to the question & told him to change answer otherwise we got 4/5 liao.. See? i also can do it k.. =P dun belittle me ahh.. haha..

been hearing lotsa "stories" of ppl ard me.. some sweet, some amusing and some really sad..

sometimes it bewilders me how love really blinds.. its not determined by how high ur IQ or SAT or even GRE scores may be, cos it seems that even a highly intelligent person can be downright foolish in relationship.. but then again, who aint?

many a times, we ourselves do silly things which r beyond comprehensibility.. i myself included.. and we give chances, take chances.. which human being's infallible? but on a personal level, i wun tolerate anyone who physically abuse his partner in any way.. quarrels r inevitable, occasional raising of voices and shouting matches maybe.. but not any form of verbal abuse like hurling of expletives, slapping, punching, shoving or actions which hints at hostility.

i dunno why but tears juz welled up when i heard that and a dull pain ached in my heart.. i felt so sad for her and it really hurt for me to know how she was treated.. i do know how much she loves him.. i dun deny that he loves her alot too but if i were her, i'll be long out of his life cos i think a guy who can't control his temper is really scary.. and he might be capable of even scarier things in future..

maybe its cos ive seen and heard too much of these cases within the family.. if there's once, there will always be a second time.. over-generalisation it may seem, but i dun think this assumption is undue..

i know my dad din exactly grow up to be a mild-tempered person, and ive heard about how he "managed" his anger when he was younger.. but never have i once seen him raise his voice or hand at my mummy.. their quarrels r restricted to the hostile exchanges of words, their sulky faces and probably a few days of cold war(dat only happened like once from wat i can remember)..he changed and mellowed so much ever since he got married and had us..in this aspect, i admire him.. and i admire the love they have for each other..

ultimately, its still up to the individual how u want ur relationship to be like.. i dun believe when i hear ppl say dat their temper was beyond their own control or dat the other party deserved to be hit.. its really ur own choice..

to hang on or to walk away? it really takes immense courage to choose between the 2.. and being an outsider, im in no position to say anything..

though its hard to understand, i still respect ur choice.. i just hope that that would be the last time it happens.. from the bottom of my heart, i wish u all the best dearest..

which brings me to this.. even if i dun say it out,

i thank you for being in my life. =)

2006-01-18T03:14:00.000+08:00

ok i posted all the backlogged photos liao!!

finally.. ahh.. anyways i seriously need to finish springcleaning my room by next week cos ive been procrastinating for so long.. shall start with my clothes then books.. cos these r the major things crowding my room.. hehs..

ok la enjoy the pics! i lugged my camera ard while clubbing so i can take pics to post for u to see lor.. =P

on a totally irrelevant note, i really dun like it when ppl put themselves down or think of themselves as less than worthy..

esp if u r my fren or family, it puts alot of stress on me to hear that.. and it can really upset me..

anyways, i think i stayed up late enuff, nights all!

2006-01-18T02:56:00.000+08:00

all my tops.. only the tops cos i separated them from the bottoms.. i dun have alot of clothes la.. got alot of old stuff that dun fit anymore or cannot be worn liao.. time to throw out stuff.. think can donate to the salvation army.. then can make space.. haha..

2006-01-18T02:54:00.000+08:00

my "bag prison".. or so kenny calls it.. i still use them ok!
