Chipmunk invasion

2011-11-15T15:49:00.003+08:00

Hello lovely people! Missed me? A chipmunk has taken over my blog and invaded my own personal space! Evil evil one.

This chipmunk has got really big cheek pouches. Makes me wonder how much food can be stored in there. But anyhows, I have chased the chipmunk away and I'm trying to claim back as much space as possible. :)

So here's a picture in case you guys have forgotten who the owner of this blog is. :))

Lets see if I can try bring this place back to life again. Till then~

Oh Ziyi You Raise 'here' Up

2011-02-22T14:36:00.004+08:00

I was looking at the traffic feed on the left of my blog layout and came to realise one thing.

I have a steady stream of "visitors" from all over coming over to this space. Why? My space? Seriously?

And upon closer look, it's Zhang Ziyi who brought them all here!

WHAT?? 5/9 visitors came because of her??!!!

Hahahaha! Cant believe the topless Zhang Ziyi post that I posted way back is still the only thing that constantly brings people to this space. So topless celebrities still get the utmost attention from people all over. Looks like in order to make this space a lil less dead, I should post entries like that more often heh?

BAH!! JUST KIDDING!

I aint got the time to go do such things man.

Zhang Ziyi, you are definitely a constant hit. :)

Saying Hi

2011-02-22T12:49:00.003+08:00

It took me a long time before I decided to come back to this site and look through all my past entries.

There was once when a friend commented on how much easier it was in the past, to know how I was feeling. This blog was the best way. But now, it's so much tougher to decipher my thoughts, to know what's on my mind and to know why I'm feeling a certain way.

At that point of time, I couldnt help but to start tearing.

I started to think back on the days back in NUS and compared them to the life I'm leading now. Life has become so much duller and it's really dismaying to know that I'm pretty much alone in this whole new environment.

It feels weird now to sometimes meet up with friends from the past and know that I have nothing in common to talk to them about. And the feeling of being the odd one out from the past unknowingly starts coming to engulf me all over again.

Whenever I see an ex classmate's blog posts, I can feel the happiness within her whenever she pens down all those thoughts. I wish I could be like her. Embracing whatever that comes along her way with an ultra positive attitude.

I have goals to hit, dreams to reach. Time to gear up and start running towards them. And it's also probably time to start updating this space again. Soon. The next entry will be up again soon. :)

Shit pile

2010-09-13T03:33:00.002+08:00

I foresee a busy life installed for me starting next week.

Not exactly liking the thought of it but there isnt much I can do. :(

Well it actually is a good thing if I end up being busy whole day long. Beats having nth to do at all right?

*shrugs*

and as i look back

2010-09-08T03:21:00.005+08:00

6 August 2010 marks the day I officially end my school life in NUS. Stepping down as a MC/Dinner & Dance director was not as great as I thought it would be.

I had mixed feelings within me while I sat there and watch the top 5 gave their rounding speeches, the 2 VPs gave out the comm certificates to the respective directors, then the certs to the special mentioned comm members, Dingli giving out the plaques to the 2 active members of Science Club, plaques & certs MCs and then plaques to the outstanding MCs.

It was definitely a memorable day and I am extremely thrilled that I got back something more than expected. I gave, I gained, and I grew.

The past 3 years are probably the best in my 22 years of age. I forged new friendship with many new friends. Got myself several close friends too. Am still extremely glad that I chose to join scamp & rag dance in year 1, the events that got me so involved in Science Club.

NUS Science, the place where the memories lay. Science club, the place which created the memories. I'm leaving the place now.

A new chapter of my life is gonna unfold and I am not a bit excited at all. I know I have to move on. It's gonna be tough but I will hang in there. Life is going to be SO different I know I will wish school has not ended.

We are all going different ways now but I know that's not the last goodbye for we will meet again. So till then, my friend.

"Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetime, is certain for those who are friends."

Impossible? I'm Possible

2010-09-01T00:16:00.004+08:00

The past 2 weeks were crazy. With bash and dinner & dance on the 2 Saturdays, I spent practically everyday doing stuff in prep for the 2 events. Sleeping at 3/4 am was almost a routine and it totally drained me out. The 2 events went off well and I sure am glad that positive feedback was received.

Though there were certain things which constantly annoyed me throughout the whole process of preparation, I am still glad that I made the choice of running for the D&D D post and that my whole comm and I pulled off a wonderful show.

At least now there's something I can look back on fondly when I grow older. Sweet memories like these will just stay on forever.

I really like this picture with my dearest comm (short of 2 peeps). SO colourful!

Meliae! Loving og mates who came and support the event.

And also the NUS peeps/gang. Haha
Lovely Bs. <3>

Bam, aka my sweet & capable VD.

and Love came down too!

the manager of supperclub treated Bs to 2 drinks each, and that was enough to send me spinning.

Dinner & Dance - Old Hollywood Boulevard

the 30th SCMC, love how everyone made it a point to come dressed in old hollywood style.

Flag comm 08/09 :)

Sweet Sylvans who went down to support 3 other Sylvans. Haha.

Sadly, I didnt have much time for pictures with many others. It's really sad cause it's my event, but yet, there wasnt a chance for me to take pictures who those who came down to support. :((

And even if I did take some pictures, they were all taken by others which I have no idea who they are. Urgh.. All I can do now is to just wait patiently for all the pictures to be uploaded onto Facebook and for them to be tagged. :((

Now that all's over, I've got reports to do, accounts to settle, logistics to clear and lots more. Urghh. It's really not fun at all. After all these are settled, work is gonna kick in. I'm totally not looking forward to it. Really apprehensive of everything. But there aint no turning back now. Just gotta gear up and give it my best.

2010-08-13T02:27:00.002+08:00

I've been very lazy nowadays. So lazy that I dont even read blogs anymore. And aside from being lazy, I've been rather busy too. Busy with D&D and stuff. It's funny how I'm getting busier after I've graduated as compared to when I was still in NUS.

Camps this year had been awesome. Both Scamp and SOW were good. You can say that it's the first time I got attached to such awesome OGs. OGs that bother planning outings after the camps and making it a point to keep in contact with each other. Nothing like these occurred in the past. And to add on, Rag & Flag created wonders this year. Science Fac got back the Chancellor's Shield and this has got to be the best FOP ever.

All the 5 FOP projects are SO successful that I'm feeling the stress pouring in. D&D has got to be double as successful since it's the last project. I'm hoping that D&D would be such a hit that everyone will wanna go for D&D next year, the year after and many many years later. Haha.

I've got so many more things to blog about but I am just too lazy.

I've got night cycling tomorrow but I'm still down with flu that just doesnt seem to be getting any better. So I shall now head to lala land and hope that I'll be slightly better tomorrow. good nite! :)

time waits for no man

2010-08-02T03:31:00.002+08:00

Everyone around me has watched either Inception, Despicable Me or both. But I, have caught neither of it. NEITHER! I'm like so freaking lagging la..

I so want to catch these 2 shows but I just can't find the time to do so. :((

I bet by the time I find the time, none of the cinemas will be screening them already. I the really think I should go catch them if they are still on by this coming Wednesday.

And the reason why I've been missing in action for the past 10+ days is simply because of my last and final camp in NUS. I can't believe that I will not have any more of these camps to join in the next 60+ years of my life. Sounds pretty drastic huh?

I will definitely miss the sleep overs in school, crazy dry & wet games, beach games, getting dunked in the sea, seeing freshmen play '7 wonders' and many many more. Life will never be as fun again.

Honestly, I'm afraid of starting the new chapter of my life. Life will be so different I dont know if I'm able to adapt. I know I have to even if I can't.

I still remember how I used to wish I could quickly grow up, start working and get married and have kids when I was still in my 10s cause I disliked studying with all the exams going on. My mom would then say that it is always better to be studying and having fun. It beats working hands down. I didnt believe her back then, but now, I do.

The short 3 years in NUS has got to be the best 3 years I've ever had in my life so far. I made far more good friends than ever. Friends I believe I will never stop contacting for the rest of my life. The memories created and the friendships forged. I'm really glad I took this path.

Now that everyone is embarking on their new chapters of their lives, I sincerely wish everyone all the best.

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

Hahaha okay enough of all the emo stuff. I just couldnt stop. I think I've typed enough to revive this dying blog though it isn't an interesting one. Shall do up another interesting one some day this week. Good night!

all we need from you.

2010-07-19T20:04:00.002+08:00

It's funny how one can treat one's friends even better than one's family. You talk bad about your family members but sing praises for your friends. So that's what family is all about to you.

I think everyone's immune to your blabbering but I still cannot stand your nonsense. I seriously dont know what's so nice about alcohol that it can get you so addicted to it.

You claimed that $50 is nothing to you because it's not even enough to pay for your 2 days worth of beer. 2 days of beer worth >$50 is 10 days worth of lunch for me. If you're so generous as to offer the money to your friend, why not give it to your children who are even more in need of it?

And everytime you hear about how your "FRIENDS' children" treat them, you think that we will do the same thing to you. Just because of these hear say, you see us in the same light. I dont know what you want from us. But I know all we want from you is to be a loving father, a father who will not treat his children like dung.

Can you?

im short of that.

2010-07-15T02:04:00.004+08:00

WOO HOO!

I've finally changed my blog layout after much procrastination.

The whole page is orange.

Orange background with nice maple leaves.

Orangy-pink text box.

Orange header.

Woo! Now you know I'm an orange lover.

And since you're here, why not drop by Science Bash's website to take a look??

I did up the blog too! So darn proud of myself though it's not extremely nice.

HAHAHA!

But at least it looks decent enough to be presented to people!

-----

I havent been getting enough sleep lately.

Going to bed at only 1/2am and waking up 7/6 hours later isnt really working for me.

My eyebags and dark eye rings are freaking prominent now.

I really need to replenish my sleep soon before the next camp comes.

I miss listening to emo songs. Maybe I should flood my ipod with them and listen to them wherever I go. Maybe I should.

Graduate LOH!

2010-07-12T22:50:00.005+08:00

WOO HOO! I'm OFFICIALLY a graduate of NUS.

Commencement was last Saturday but honestly speaking, I didnt feel very excited that day.
The ONLY adrenaline rush was when I was standing at the cross, next in line to walk up to the Dean and receive my fake canister. (I was just fearing that I might trip and fall and become the joke of the day.)

It was a joy though to see everyone in their graduation robes smiling so widely in front of the cameras. I assume everyone was just glad that studying lives are now over for them.

And I thank everyone who came down to the commencement to congratulate me. I'm really thankful for all you guys' presence in my uni life.

And a especially big thank you to my parents who came down too. I think I made them proud. I think la huh. Haha.

More photos on FB!

Old Clothes Collection

2010-07-06T23:48:00.002+08:00

Attended 30th Flag's last Old Clothes Collection (OCC) at Hougang last Saturday and Sunday and I enjoyed myself to the max. I've always loved going down for OCC cause it's meaningful and fun at the same time.

But there are also times when it's frustrating and I cant help but to go off without even saying thank you.

Scenario 1: You see someone on the sofa (door opened) and you knock on the door. No one responds so you ask "excuse me, is anyone at home?" Still no response. Knock harder and ask louder. This someone turns up the volume of the TV and ignore you ttm. @I*#^B)&>"!)&
Like omg! What the hell is wrong with this person?? No need to explain more huh.

Scenario 2: You knock on the door and someone walks over from the kitchen/bed room or wherever it is. He/She sees you and starts saying nonono without even giving you a chance to say what you are here for.
Omg seriously, so scared for what???

Scenario 3: The person is willing to listen but when you ask for their old newspaper/clothes or electrical appliances, they say they dont have any when the items are stacked up in a corner right in front of them AND you.
Ok lah, dont want to give just say you need them. Dont lie without battling your eyelids.

Scenario 4: The door is closed, but you hear sounds coming from behind it. You knock and wait. The sounds either go louder or softer and sometimes completely off.
Honestly, that is me in the past. Haha.

But despite all these, there are really nice people who give the little they have or even go all the way to dig and pack whatever they can for us. These are the people who warm your hearts and make you realise that there is still love and compassion in this world.

Another Miracle

2010-06-28T22:20:00.002+08:00

I cannot believe that someone would actually be so irresponsible as to abandon an important post just like that when that person in fact plays a freaking crucial part in this whole event. Call me petty or what, but I am just pissed. Seriously. Why the last minute notice?? WHY?!

I've seen cases where members leave the comm halfway, but definitely not when the event is only 2 months away, and especially not when the person plays an important role. A damn important one on top of that.

I seriously am panicking already. With so much things not settled, and the number of people gone down to only 2 in that sub comm, it's pretty bad.

Just hoping now that the whole event will be a success without any major faults. And now will be the time where I need a miracle. A huge miracle.

dumbfounded

2010-06-27T23:55:00.003+08:00

It sucks when your good intention got seen as an act of selfishness, and then ended up being condemned as a selfish daughter.

Those words left me dumbfounded. And frankly speaking, instead of feeling angry, I felt disappointed. Sad. Heartbroken.

My eyes got all teary when I heard those words. But I had to be strong and not let my tears fall.

Others can see me that way, but not you. You are my parent and you ought to be the one who knows me the best.

I couldnt retort. There wasnt much I could say anyway.

Though you were probably not clear-headed, I'm still upset that you actually saw me in that negative light.

I dont wish to clear the air, cause I know it isnt gonna be of any help.

Being the stubborn me, I probably wont take the initiative to strike any conversations too.

It's sad how things turned out this way. It's just sad.

Last SCAMP

2010-06-27T12:25:00.000+08:00

I just came back from my 4th and officially last SCAMP, and I got to say that it was the awesomest camp ever.

It is the 3rd time I joined the camp as a senior but yet, it was the first time I got so bonded to the whole OG. Seniors freshies all together.

It is also the first time I got attached to such a super duper enthu OG (Martiny). Everyone's energy level was seriously UP THERE! Awesome much!

And and! It is also the first time that I came back from a camp without getting sun burnt. So surprisely, I am currently NOT dartk/tanned.

And this batch of scampers have got to be the most creative batch ever. The cheers that all the different OGs came up with were ooh laa laa. Martiny too!

Now that SCAMP is officially over, it's down to SOW, Rag, Flag and lastly D&D. I'm starting to feel lost and am also starting to lose my drive to start working after D&D.

Oh well, enough of the unhappy thoughts.

I didnt have my camera with me for the 1st 3 days cause I was busy acting as a freshie.

So only pictures from Sentosa and Butter Factory.

Awesome bunch of seniors. Loves much!

Lovely and high bunch of girl freshies. Girl power!

And the bunch of "人不可貌相" guy freshies.

And of cause, my lovely bim and bom who attended SCAMP for the very FIRST time.
Now this is a picture that has to be shown. Every year, the seniors love to torture the freshies by making them play this game called "ouch orh bi orh bi". It's such a torturous game that I personally hate it to the max.

Basically, a person starts the game by shouting another person's name (A) and A is supposed to choose to whack either the person on his left or right (B). So B when being whacked, is supposed to pinch the person next to him (C) until C shouts ouch.

So if anyone wishes to sabo anybody, the one who gets pinched is to tolerate the pinching till he thinks that the whacking is nuff.

So the below picture shows the bruised thigh of a senior (Ally) who got whacked by her own guy freshie. Tell me!! How can a guy hit a girl so hard to this extent!?!?

Call me coward or whatever but I still think that this game ought to be banned. One day, someone will just end up having a burst blood vessel or smth.

So that's the cool Martiny at Sentosa.

And after Sentosa, everyone changed into something nice before heading down to Fort Canning for the Special Pal revelation.

The food was good and I enjoyed watching the seniors and freshies play "dont forget the lyrics".

And ending off the night was the party at Butter Fac. The whole club opened to us and only us so it was really exclusive.

Lots of dramas over there and lots of cheering too.

But honestly, I havent enjoyed myself at a club like how I did at Butter for a long long time.

Anyhow, I'll just end this post with a picture of my lovely siao char bors of Science. Loves. :)

Disappearing act

2010-06-20T01:58:00.003+08:00

It has been 2 whole weeks since my last post. I'm getting really lazy nowadays. Didnt even turn on my laptop when I had nothing much to do.

Father's Day is tomorrow but yet I dont have feel the need to celebrate the occasion like how other children plan to celebrate it with their dads. I guess its probably because he, as a dad, is doing things he should never do, and NOT doing things he should do.

I still remember how I used to write in my diary wishing that he would be those loving dads who will bring the whole family out on shopping trips and also not to come home drunk every night.

It's been more than a decade and I still have the same thought. But I've come to terms that he will always be who he is. No one and nothing can ever change him.

I just hope that he will start learning to appreciate us. His family. The ones who will be there for him when he ages, and its NOT his alcoholic friends who will be there.

But we all wonder and ponder, 'when will this day ever come?'

Too many durians

2010-06-06T01:22:00.002+08:00

Who in their right minds would buy 26kg of durians (~14 durians) for a family of 5 to eat man? 14 durians is like freaking a lot. So much to the extent that I think it would take probably 1 whole week for to finish them all.

And the worse thing is that the total amount spent on these durians is a whooping $208.

THAT CAN GET THE WHOLE FAMILY A GOOD MEAL AT A FAIRLY REPUTABLE RESTAURANT CAN!

Mom was so upset cause the money was spent so unnecessarily, which is damn true.

Now, I'm just hoping that I can start bringing in income for the family so our financial status would improve. It better be soon!

Pep Pep a model?

2010-06-02T01:03:00.003+08:00

I entered Pep Pep into Chic Magazine's Animal's Next Top model.

I suppose the photo with the highest number of likes will be the "winner".

But Pep Pep is lagging behind!! He's got only 19 votes. HAHA!

I think the picture I sent in isnt cute enough. The other photos are like soooooo much cuter.

But I still hope you guys can help me like his photo k!

It's this picture that I sent in. Cause he looks like he's smiling and the colours are pretty nice.

Soooooo, please do me and Pep Pep a favour and go like his photo here!

Thank you very muchhhh!! :))

Shrek: The Final Chapter

2010-06-01T00:31:00.002+08:00

I finally caught Shrek today!

I felt kinda suaku cause it was my first Shrek movie.

Hadnt caught the first 2 before but luckily this has got not much links to the first 2 and I was able to understand what the whole movie was about.

And I gotta say the movie's really good!!

I didnt know why Chris used to like Shrek so much but I think I do now after watching it. It was hilarious and yet touching at the same time.

I love how puss showed his big eyes to donkey when he asked for his tongue.

And how Fiona and Shrek shared the last moment before Shrek "vanished".

And how the dragon donkeys flew around and looked so cute.

So many so many!!

Well, so if you havent caught the show, go catch it now!! It's really worth it!! Seriously!! :))

Graduation time

2010-06-01T00:16:00.004+08:00

This is what we will all do on 10th July 2010.

The day when the few of us will throw our mortarboards up into the sky and shout "hooray!"

I had been living in fear for the past 1 month, fearing that I would fail any one of the modules. But thank goodness I passed them all.

It's sad though that I didnt do as well for my other modules which I thought I would fare well for. It thus pulled my overall cap down and damn, I missed my merit by abit.

But oh well, I am just glad that I'm able to graduate with the rest of my cohort and start earning some kaching soon!

Hello working world, please be nice to me.

Wedding bells

2010-05-30T23:33:00.006+08:00

I attended a cousin's wedding dinner yesterday at Swissotel Merchant Court.

And surprisingly, I have only 28 pictures in my camera. No pictures with the relatives. No pictures with the bride and groom either. Tsk tsk.

The food was alright only or should I say, bad for the price of each table.

And there wasnt much interaction between all of us, so it was pretty sad actually.

Plus the fact that Dad was uber drunk that night, and was spouting lots of nonsense through out the night, which made the night even more horrible.

But oh well, am just glad that there wasnt any drama that happened.

That's my mom and my aunt. Both skinny women. Like DAMN skinny.

And my irritating brother who is so unfairly tall, while me and my sis are so unfairly short. URGH!

And that's my 2 aunts on the left, bride in the middle and my mom on the right. Pretty bride huh?

And if you noticed, my neck is burnt. Consequence of applying sunblock everywhere except your neck. =.=
And this is the 3rd cousin's wedding that Chris attended with us. 3 in 4 1/2 years. Wow.
3rd wedding in 2010.

2nd wedding back in 2008

1st wedding back in 2007.

And did you realised that I wore black to all 3 weddings? It seems like I've only got black dresses. LOL.

And and! I like my hair in the past more la! My hair sucks like mad now. Urgh. Especially the stupid fringe which always splits open in the middle, leaving a lobang there!

Okay, enough of complaints. Gotta get some sleep now. Good night world!

My new doggy

2010-05-27T01:39:00.004+08:00

Ah ma bought me this doggy from ALIVE! carnival last Sunday!!

I had been eyeing it for quite some time but didnt buy it in the end. So I was DAMN shocked when Ah ma gave me a plastic bag with the doggy in it.

SOOO sweet of her. It's like the softest soft toy I ever have. I swear it's super nice to touch and I super love it!! Haha.

Ah ma, if you're reading this, here's a big thank you to you!

Once a Gangster

2010-05-27T01:07:00.004+08:00

Chris won 2 tickets to "Once A Gangster" starring Jordan Chan and Ekin Cheng from 8 days.

Boy am I glad that we didnt purchase tickets for that show, and instead watched it for free. It has got to be the lousiest show I've ever watched in a long long time. Read reviews prior to the show and was pretty shocked that it received lotsa "1 star" and negative reviews. But we still went in with open minds.

Halfway through the show, there were already lots of question marks forming in my head and at the same time, I was yawning quite badly. The plot was quite messed up, stupid to be exact. Effects were pretty blah.

And it so happened that we both wore the same colour today. From top to toe! Black and white on top, and white on toes!

And the date ended after the movie and Chris was sweet to send me back. From PS back to my place, and off to his school again. Felt so bad for making me send me everywhere. Haha.

PS: Thanks my love!

I can see myself getting busy soon. And results are coming out in 6 days time. I'm worried. And scared. I really hope I pass all my modules. Pray for me too please.

Thank you.

byebye again

2010-05-17T23:32:00.001+08:00

Going off to Johore in bout 8 hours time! Not exactly looking forward to the trip. The whole itinerary sounds so scary, packed from 8am all the way to 2am everyday for 3 full days. =.=''

Oh well. At least I have ah ma to accompany me. Haha. See you all again in 3 days time! :))

Love's Birthday

2010-05-17T01:42:00.014+08:00

Celebrated Chris's birthday 2 Saturdays back. It wasnt any fancy celebration, just a day out followed by dinner at My Secret Garden.

I'll just let the photos do the talking, together w some captions. :)

First up, uber late lunch at Holland V's kopitiam.

And next to Bugis Illuma because dinner place was nearby.

And I didnt know that there is this rooftop garden like place in Illuma. There is also a casino like arcade on the floor and omg, you should see the number of children and adults there. It's crazy.

I like this dress which I waited for for damn long from Runwaydiva.

We then proceeded to My Secret Garden, where I had made reservations for dinner

And it's beside this bright orange
The place has got nice ambience and the food's not bad. But the service is abit blah..

My gift to him, which I made him carry the whole day but did not allow him to open it till dinner. Haha.

SO happy reading my "card".

And next, time to open the present! First layer.

Almost there!

Yay! 1st layer gone.

2nd layer.

Woo hoo! Finally!
He had beef,
while I had seafood aglio olio.

and when we reached home, there was a birthday cake waiting for him from sis and bro.

Happy birthday boy :)

Well that's about all! Tudoos! :))

Iron Man II

2010-05-15T02:05:00.003+08:00

Caught Iron Man 2 on Monday with Chris and I kinda like it. I dont know why so many people are criticizing the show because I personally like it. Haha. The story line was abit weird at times, but overall, still alright. The effects were pretty good. At least to me la.

Okay, I've nothing much to say anymore. How bout 4 pictures for viewing? LOL.

Oh! And look at what my beloved heels did to my small toe. It was damn painful la! I was practically limping the whole day yesterday because of this stupid shit.

And I cant believe I'm going to Malaysia AGAIN. JB this time, with company. I hope my passport is ready for collection by Monday. If not, I can kiss my $350 away already. It better be ready!!!

Nice feet

2010-05-15T01:58:00.002+08:00

Hi Mister, what nice feet you have!!

Can you believe this?? Omg, I couldnt.

This guy sat beside me for at least 5 stops before I the seats opposite were unoccupied and I could move over. I mean, look at where his shoes were!!! Right below the seat, righttttt inside.

Oh my goodness. My heart almost stopped when he took off his shoes and stretched them like nobody's business.

Look at that pathetic seat to his right (picture's left). I was initially sitting there and practically had no space to myself for his arm was constantly knocking into me. =.=''

I almost jumped with joy when the passengers opposite me alighted. Haha!

Omgosh, seriously.

Back for more

2010-05-11T00:58:00.005+08:00

Hello all! I'm back from the short getaway to Genting & KL with the lovely peeps. It didnt exactly feel like a graduation trip (the girls had been saying that it wasnt gonna be a grad trip all along) since all of us spent most of the time in the casino pair by pair. And we didnt spend much time in KL too cause we slept too much during our last day. I didnt even get to visit the theme park at Genting!! :(( But I still had fun because of the awesome company!

But the trip started off real bad. I didnt get to fly off with all of them at the scheduled time because my passport had a validity of less than 6 months. Like seriously dumb. I thought 3 months was sufficient cause my passport was due to expire in September. Zzz. So at that point of time when the lady at the counter told me that I couldnt take off with the rest of the group, I just got stunned. She then proceeded to say "well, or you could go down to ICA and extend ur passport, then get on the flight at 7.10pm."

And so I did. Taking a cab down to ICA to extend my passport, which I couldnt do because my present one has got the maximum validity of 10 years. I could only apply for the one time off travel document which was a freaking piece of paper that took 2 hours to process. I waited for a whole 4.5 hours just for that stupid pieces of paper. Like URGH!

So I rushed back down to the airport hoping that I was in time for the 7.10pm flight. Well, I was. But the freaking ticket cost me another $90, inclusive of some $40 penalty charge because I didnt board the plane at 2.40pm. Like WTF?? Why charge me for not boarding the plane man?? Seriously...

And when I finally got into the boarding room, an announcement came saying that the plane was delayed and we could only depart at 7.50pm. By then, I was getting abit wrecked out. Too many things were happening in one single day. As though it was some sign to prevent me from going on that trip. I even considered going out of the departure gates and get back home, which I didnt.

And on the runway, another announcement came saying that the flight was delayed for another 10 minutes because they ran out of runway. *#^$^@(!_&#*!)_+@^!!?!?! Ran out of runway?!?!?! How can that happen man?? Like huh?? By then, I was like praying non stop in the plane, praying for a safe landing. But thank goodness nothing happened. *choy* And Im now safely back in Singapore, at home.

But I would never had gotten past all those without Chris by my side. He stayed with me through out the day, from the aiport to ICA, back to the airport, up the plane, to KL then to Genting. With no qualms and complaints, and Im truly thankful that he was there with me all the while, calming me down when I was freaking out in the boarding room and in the plane. I wouldnt know what to do if not for him. ("V")

Alright, enough of the zillion words.. Time for some pictures from the trip, credits to Yong Shen, the superb photographer who took lots of pictures for us and only a few pictures with him inside. You're great Yong Shen! :)

Paired shots @ the hotel, on the first night. #1

Natural & candid

Group picture outside 好友记 on 3rd day

Best girl friends

('v')

down to KL for dinner, and as usual, candid!!

The night was young, and we had a few drinks, playing the Circle of Death. We all got high afterwards.

Not forgetting sweetness among the madness

I love Chris's side profile. I want that sharp nose of his!!!

Okay, that's about it. Many more pictures up in Facebook.

Good bye and good night.

The Rehomers

2010-05-02T03:13:00.005+08:00

The people at Rehomers are really lovely people. I admire them for spending the time to help helpless animals lead better lives.

Some were abandoned by their owners due to the emergence of diseases and such.

Take for example,

"Jojo was given the death sentence by her owners when her ringworm/fungal problem left her hairless, but with a few strains on her inflammed skin."

Not every dog is up there for adoption because of abandonment. There are cases where the owners really have no choice but to give them up. Well at least all the owners still have the heart to give them up for adoption and not leave them by the roadside or what, leaving them them to fend for themselves.

I wish I could help these poor animals. I know adopting any one of them is out of the question. But maybe mum and dad would allow fostering??

I should ask mom tomorrow.

Do hop over to The Rehomers and have a look at the sad plights of the animals. Try to help them in whatever ways you can. Im sure there are many more out there that needs help. But the least we could do, is to help those that we can. :))

puny nose!

2010-05-01T19:05:00.004+08:00

I wanna have a smaller and sharper nose!

Maybe something like this?? (okay, my photoshop skills still aint that good so this nose still looks weird)

Though that will be a totally different person. LOL. (nope, Im not gonna show you the original picture nah nah nah)

But I'm liking the look of a small nose on my face! hahaha. If only we could photoshop ourselves in real life just with the help of the "liquify" tool.

Well, just gotta accept the fact that no one can be perfect, and I can only dream about having a small, sharp puny nose.

Screwed

2010-05-01T18:49:00.002+08:00

"Certified lamers" was what my class back in 2004 call ourselves.

And that was our trademark on our class t-shirt, which I use to wear at home now.

I've completed 4 papers, but am only feeling good for 2 papers. Kinda screwed up for the other 2 papers, which are my core modules. *SIGH*

I hope I get at least a pass. Just a pass and I'll be happy. At least that will ensure me my degree by July. Just give me the pass please!

One more paper left and I totally aint in the mood to study anymore. It's open book man! But not like open book examinations are easy to do. Oh well, gotta pray hard that I dont screw up this last paper. Please please please!

Instant lunch

2010-04-29T14:50:00.004+08:00

Just had my instant lunch at home, and it was pretty good!

I had Grilled Teriyaki Salmon with Jap rice and it did taste like the normal Teriyaki Salmon set we have at Jap restaurants. Okay, not that good, but about 7/10 similar. Lol.

It comes in this black plastic box and all you need to do is to either heat it up in a microwave or steam it using the usual wok if you dont have a microwave at home. Really fast and easy!

There is the Teriyaki Chicken one too if you are not a fan of Salmon. Sis and bro gave the TC one thumbs up too!

It's really suitable for people who dont like to go out and get lunch/dinner (just like me) cause it's instant and filling! Can get them at NTUC (frozen food area), think it's about $3+?

Anyways, I've already finished 3 papers and have 2 more to go. 1 tomorrow and the last one next Monday. I seriously aint in the studying mood already. I haven't really started on the revision for tomorrow's paper but yet Im here blogging.

Will be going to Msia (Genting & KL) with the girls next week after our papers for our Grad Trip. Quite funny to go to our neighbouring country for Grad trip? But oh well, we're all kinda broke to go anywhere further. :((

Hope it will be fun though! Alright, better head back to my notes already. Tudos!

M for Meridian

2010-04-21T02:29:00.004+08:00

A bunch of us are in school now, staying over to mug for exams.

Suddenly I realised that 7 of us were all from MJ.

WOOTS MJ ROCKS.

So in the middle of this night, we took a photo, with poses from the MJC cheer. (meridians would know)

It feels good to know that there are so many friends around me who are ex Meridians.

Awwwwww...

Chicky the ugly chicken

2010-04-21T01:22:00.002+08:00

I found Cola a new ugly friend.

Meet Chicky the ugly chicken. He's Zheng Yi's chicken pencil case.

It's damn hilarious looking please.

Penimals are supposed to be cute, but this Chicky is................................... HAHAHA.

Ok I ought to be studying. Tata.

Complementary colours

2010-04-20T01:20:00.002+08:00

Peiying showed us this really cool "illusion" kinda thing in school today. It has something to do with what they call, complementary colours.

Stare at the black dot in the middle of the rectangle for about 30 secs.

Then close your eyes, and visualise the image again in your head.

You should see a difference in the image this time round.

Have?

Try something "abit harder" this time round.

Likewise, stare at the black dot in the middle of the buddha statue and you should notice a difference too.

Do you see it??

Well you're supposed to see a swap of colours in the visualised image. That means, after staring, the visualised rectangle should be green on the inside and red on the outside. Something for the buddha, gold/yellow for the sky and blue for the statue.

My mom and sis cant see it. Neither can Wei Kit & Brenda.

Try it and see if it works on you! It's really fun!

Stop idling

2010-04-18T00:08:00.002+08:00

My first paper is on the coming Saturday, so i seriously dont know why Im still idling around and not making full use of my time studying.

It's like I cant seem to focus anymore. :(

I just hope my overall cap wont drop. Afterall, it had been increasing since sem 1 and I certainly dont want my "hard work" go down the drain during my very last sem in NUS.

I need to study. And maybe make a trip down to the temple too. Haha.

Sidetracking, I'm suddenly feeling pretty sad that my schooling days are over. Cant believe I'be working for the next 30-40 years. So saddening.

When I was schooling, I always longed to be working. Now that I wont be schooling anymore, I wish I have more time to stay in school. What an irony. But well, I've gotta accept this fact. At least I will still be involved in Science Club's stuff, at least till August after D&D ends.

Will need to focus on D&D after exams end and make it a blast this year. :) Back to studying microorganisms now, tudoos!

Fong Seng no more

2010-04-15T02:14:00.002+08:00

I am never gonna have prata from Fong Seng ever again. Never ever.

THe 4Bs headed to Fong Seng for "dinner" at 8+pm just now, and upon much hesitation, ordered prata instead of noodles/rice because we remembered that the latter wasnt very nice.

So each of us had 1-2 pratas and were eating and talking when Valen went "OMG! Is that a HAIR??"

And with the fork, she got it out of her curry and scraped it onto the side of her plate. There it was. A "Q - mo" (Q hair).

Like "WTF x 10000000000000000000000000000000"

It had to be either from THERE or THERE, you should know what I mean. Seriously. Disgusted to the max.

So poor Valen had only 3-4 mouthfuls of the 2 pratas cause she was too disgusted to continue eating.

The guy at the shop still had the cheek to come back with a new bowl of curry, when the hair could jolly well been in the WHOLE POT of curry.

I continued eating my prata without any curry and it was horrible. Prata without curry is a NONO. So to prevent anything like this from happening again, no more Fong Seng. Well not like it might not happen at other places. But ya, the quality of their food is seriously going down.

I should have taken a picture of the hair and send it to NEA for complaint, but was too slow in doing so. Zzz.

Penimals & doodles

2010-04-15T01:58:00.003+08:00

There's actually quite a number of my friends who are using animal pencil cases and its always a joy to see all the "animals" put together.

Vaneh has a giraffe and I have a dog.

His name is Cola, who cant really lift his head up without anybody's help.

and he has a beer belly.
He never fails to grab people's attention and I love him for that. HAHA.

Sidetracking, Vaneh is really talented in drawing.

Gosh I never knew she drew this boy and his dog on her own. As in free drawing, not based on any other images. So talented. If only I have 1/10 of her artistic talent. :(

So cute la!

Sleep sleep sleep

2010-04-13T13:49:00.000+08:00

I was studying, or rather, copying notes, when I fell asleep.

And when I woke up, there was this imprint of the back of my watch on my "lower arm".

It just shows that even copying notes is a hypnotising action so great that I fell deep into sleep exerting so much pressure to leave that imprint.

Oh gosh, I'm such a sleepyhead.

Anger & Danger

2010-04-11T23:39:00.004+08:00

We were both angry, and at that moment,
we were this close to Danger.

I saw the other side of you.
"You" were so distant.

Life is truly full of ups and down.
A while ago, we were still laughing and joking.
Moments later, everything changed. Everything.

I dont know how long it would take.
But I know it wont be soon.

boring life

2010-04-07T23:52:00.004+08:00

My life is getting so boring that I've got nothing to blog about. I dont even think as much.
And that makes my blog super boring. So boring that I dont even bother coming in unless I wanna blog.

I've been working my arse off for the past few days. To the extent where I would wake up to go to work, end work, reach home, watch some TV, bathe and sleep. Then the cycle repeats again.

But on the bright side, I've earned some moolah for myself, which is a GOOD thing. :D :D

And I cant believe that I'll be graduating SOON. Like real soon. 3 more weeks to the final exams and I'll be out of NUS. Provided that I pass all my modules. And then it's out to the working world, which I am seriously not prepared for.

I still remember how I always wished I was a grown up when I was younger, and my mom would always say it is always better to studying than to be working. I used to think otherwise, but now, I think it's true.

But I think it eventually boils down to whether you are doing something you like or not. If I were to be working at the zoo or something, it probably wouldnt be as bad. But the thing is I wont be working at a zoo. So things are different. I just hope the next 1 year will be smooth sailing for me. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Meanwhile, I've to start focusing and study for the finals.

13 weeks of stuff to study for in 2.5 weeks time. Excellent.

When the Blues unite

2010-04-01T10:18:00.002+08:00

A bunch of the Sci Club people wore blue to school on Tuesday and it was a nice sight. So Simone suggested that we took a picture together. All the Blue people.

And Mr Chia Song Zhe Andy for dont know what reason decided that Baby Patch should be in the picture too. So Andy looks cartoonish carrying Baby Patch.

Once a NUS Science student, forever a NUS Science student.
Once a Science club member, forever a Science club member.
And Blue rocks, for now.

"Stand up! Be proud!
Say your name, out loud!
We are from, Science Fac!
Mighty, mighty Science Fac ole ole!"

Bitch war

2010-03-31T00:03:00.003+08:00

I managed to catch Ris Low on 987 today and I was rolling my eyes at every sentence she said.

Yes, she was late again for the 2nd time in a row and she still had the audacity to say she wasnt in any wrong and yadah yadah yadah.

And I just heard news that Rozz MIGHT be leaving 987 because of her! I do hope it's some wrong info cos I like Rozz.

She's funny and natural on air, unlike thay biatch who fakes an accent and speaks horribly.
And her blog! OMG!

As taken off her blog,

"With the magic of make up, I can now conceal my eye bags, eye circles and pimples with ease. Camwhore time!"

I dont want to post any of her pictures up here in my blog because I dont want to see her ugly shit face everytime I come here. Like seriously, wrong angle, wrong pose, bad make up.

Isnt she supposedly a model or something? Then doesnt she know from which angle she looks best in? Her pictures are all seriously VERY unflattering. Makes her look fat. Thinking of the pictures alone gives me shudders.

Anyways, I didnt use to hate Ris Low so much. In fact, I didnt even bother reading up news on her. But now that 987 AND Rozz is in the picture, I cant help but to bitch bout her.

Oh btw, she either needs to change her camera because the quality of her pictures SUCKs, or she needs photography lessons. :)

Blitz Outing

2010-03-30T18:57:00.006+08:00

Met up with the blitz team last Friday for the first time in..... 5 or 6 months? It had been AGES since the 5 of us met up.

Valen and I met up first to shop for Dajin's super belated birthday present.

And cause the guys were still in camp, we waited till pretty late before everyone reached and have our dinner, at Waraku Pasta.

I was starving so decided to have the pasta + gratin meal, which included a side sald, corn soup, drink, choice of pasta and prawn gratin.

My choice of pasta, Mushroom and Scallop Pasta with Wafu sauce. It was superb! The scallops were plentiful and very fresh. And the wafu sauce complimented the pasta really well making it super awesome.
Valen had the 2 pasta set, where she had 2 choices of pasta. The seafood in tomato sauce,

and cabonara with yolk.

Dajin's Oyster & bacon in cream sauce,

And Jun Sheng's spicy prawn cabonara.

The pastas were all really good and I would definitely go back to try all their other pastas. And with that, a group picture at Waraku's before heading down to Ben&Jerry's at Dempsey for dessert.

The girls shared 3 scoops of ice cream, strawberry cheesecake, chocolate and cream&cookies.

And a last group photo before Dajin left for Brunei for ~3weeks. Reckon the next time all of us meet again will be during the Starhub Urban Freestyle Run.

Miracle

2010-03-30T00:58:00.004+08:00

Everytime you come home reeking of alcohol, the fire within me starts raging.
You know you can no longer use us as an outlet to vent your frustrations, so you turn to poor Pepsi who is forever defenseless against you.
There's nothing we can do without letting Pep be traumatised by you.

I still hate the fact that you went back on your words.
You said you would never drink again.
But everyday, you come home reeked of alcohol.

Peace will never be found without a miracle.

They say miracles do happen, but when will we see "our" miracle?

disgust

2010-03-26T18:49:00.001+08:00

well I'm disgusted. Liking some other girl's album of narcissistic photos; 'me myself & i' isn't smth a Gf would like to see on her bf's facebook page.

Seriously, turned off.

Drink & drive

2010-03-22T22:15:00.002+08:00

I hate it when you think that people are constantly trying to challenge you on the road.
And then you put our lives at stake by driving up till 140km/hr on a busy road. Are you out of your mind or something?

Seriously, you ought to stop thinking that every driver in a modified car/lux sedan is only out to race every single driver on the road.
I can only shut my eyes tight every single time Im on the car and pray that we arrive at our destination safely.

Never drink and drive. These 4 words stay true.

包今天

2010-03-22T21:11:00.004+08:00

Had lunch at 包今天 (Marina Square Basement) last Saturday with Chris and was surprised that the food was actually quite good and CHEAP!

包青天，我的祖先

we had char siew sou,
seafood cheese baked rice with lots of prawns and scallops! awesome to the max!

ding ding noodles with luncheon meat and egg. i loved this more than the baked rice. its amazing how they can make maggi noodles taste so good. haha

some mango drink which was a tad too thick for me

And the total bill came up to only about 22. No service charge nor GST.

And I really like Chris's side profile. Nice nose you've got there. haha

And if you are wondering why my cheeks dont look balanaced, that's because I've got food stuffed in my right cheek pouch. hahaha.

The French Shop

2010-03-22T20:15:00.004+08:00

Headed down to The French Shop, located somewhere in MacPherson with my family for dinner a few days back. They serve french cuisine there and the previous time my family went there, they were raving about how good the food was and yadah yadah yadah. I didnt join them previously so this was my first time there.

I was initially pretty excited to head down to this dining place which my whole family had praises for (pretty rare) and upon reaching the place, and taking a look at the menu, I was like "wth, how good exactly is this place??"

Well the interior was pretty well done up but it was really nothing more than a normal stall located under a HDB.

And the food. Gosh, totally not worth the money.

Dad's tenderloin which was ~300g costs $30+ and he said Astons' steak tasted way better than this.

Mom's basil leave & tomato spaghetti which was seriously overpriced, tasted normal.

Bro's chicken thigh in dont know what, was mediocre.

And my grilled dory with garlic butter, was soso. It left a fishy taste in my mouth after I finished the whole thing and it was totally disgusting.

I like the way they serve the iced water though. Cups with a glass bottle filled w iced water. Dont have to constantly ask the waiter to top up your cup. Just do it yourself!

And thats my parents drinking me and bro's soup of the day. It was carrot soup and none of us likes carrots. Notice how their hands are placed at the same position. So cute.

And Dad ordered a jug of Stella Artois for him and bro, in which bro had only 1 mug. =.=' My dad seriously needs put forth his word; he said no more drinking for him.

The bill came up to over a hundred bucks for 4 people, dining at a shop under a HDB. =.=' I would rather eat at Swensen's or somewhere else than here.

Not gonna go back there for any meals in future. No no no.

Lunch love

2010-03-19T20:37:00.000+08:00

Chris and I have been going out to several places for lunch nowadays now that he has got his own transport. Haha! I'm finally being chauffeured instead of the other way round now. =x

In the past, I would be so lazy to go out for lunch that Chris would always buy takeaways for me while he made his way to my place. I know I know, how can someone be so lazy as to even not go out for lunch right? But there are also times when I would go out to meet him for lunch instead of asking him to get lunch for me k. But nonetheless, he's super nice la! Loves!

So anyway we headed down to White Sands with the intention to have lunch at Coffee Club, provided that their 1-for-1 promo was still on. But sadly, it was over by then. So we had lunch at Sakae instead!

They now have this pink plates on top of the normal coloured and red plates. But we had none of the pink plates.

Had the usuals;

chawanmushi,

sushi, and handrolls (no pics)

and added kimchi ramen

and salmon teriyaki which seemed to have shrunk in size. That small piece for 9.99++!

And we were sitted at the very same place where we had our lunch during our 4th yr anniversary. LOL!

Lunches are now love. :)

Munchie Monkey's

2010-03-18T23:55:00.000+08:00

Had lunch with Dpah and Valen at NUS's Munchie Monkey's on Tuesday noon.

Have heard that the place is a really good place for chilling and dining. BUT, to my disappointment, the food was quite BLA. And not very price friendly.

The food was taking pretty long to arrive................

And when it finally did, we were all like ermmmmm....

Well at least Daph's Beef Burger smth smth smth looked decent.

Me and Valen's Spaghetti Vongole which was NOT filling at all. But I have to admit that the clams were really fresh.

Seriously, I wouldnt go there for my meals in future. Maybe just for the drinks/desserts and place to chill.

More posts to come!

Starhub Urban Freestyle Run

2010-03-15T22:06:00.002+08:00

Have you guys heard about the Starhub Urban Freestyle Run?

It's the 1st ever FUN run held in Singapore, and trust me, it really is fun.

It's a 6.5km long run, but the emphasis isnt on the run itself, but rather, the 9 obstacles along the route. There will be 9 different FUN obstacles which every participant has to overcome in their own way.

1. Water Barricade @ Padang (Discovery Channel-inspired, Man Vs. Wild: Jungle-like, overcoming natural terrain)

2. Hubbing Station @ Esplanade Waterfront (large jigsaw puzzle)

3. Parkour Arena @ F1 Track

4. Giant Drinks Can @ F1 Track (Cooling Station; mist and shower)

5. Sports Tunnel @ FA Track (Sports Channels from Starhub TV; run through a cut-out figure from a big TV)

6. Giant Shoe @ Raffles Avenue (2m high giant shoe, climb and jump)

7. Fashion Runway @ Fullerton (photographers, scenic views, they’ll get copy of their photograph/personalized CD)

8. Car Jump@ Fullterton Road

9. Slip n’ Slide @ Padang

It's definitely not the kind of SOC army guys go through, but rather something really edgy and fresh.

Price is now $55 for public, but if you guys are interested in joining, do get your friends down together cos it costs much cheaper if you sign up in groups.

For more information about the event itself, check out the SUF Run website here now!

Childhood pic

2010-03-15T01:51:00.002+08:00

Found this photo on my bedroom floor last night. Think it was dug up by my mom while she was cleaning our room. Haha.
i
This was taken when I was in primary 6. Almost 10 years back. I kinda like this picture. I looked so young and innocent. WAHA.

I dont think I've changed much, given that an ex primary school classmate recognised me at NUS Open House today.

And BTW, the orange tag on my pinafore is a senior prefect's badge. Yes, I was a senior prefect. Haha, still very proud of that. :)

As long as you love me

2010-03-13T02:21:00.002+08:00

Omg, Class95 is playing this classic song right now.

I love Class95. They never fail to bring back lots of fond memories to me. Classic love songs. Oh gosh. I love!

"I dont care who you are, where you're from. Dont care what you did, as long as you love me."

Think I'll find one day and list out all my all time favourite love songs. Especially those from the 90s. Just the though of these songs bring a smile to my face. :)

小龙包 craving

2010-03-13T01:13:00.006+08:00

Chris had craving for Ding Tai Feng's xiao long bao today, so our lunch was 两笼 of 小龙包.

But beacuse my appetite has been really bad nowadays, I only had about 6 小龙包 while Chris ate the remaining 14.

And the appetizer; 小菜 is a must whenever I visit DTF. I always get really upset if their 小菜 gets sold out whenever Im there.

Headed off for SVC meeting in school after that.

Tomorrow's a long day for me. Training in the morning and work in the noon. Its something similar to what I did last June; giving out flyers to promote Starhub's Urban Freestyle.

Will blog more about the event either tomorrow or Sunday. Tudos!

Girlfriends Love

2010-03-12T01:10:00.008+08:00

The 4 girls finally met up, with every single one present after a long long time.

We headed for Amici, an Italian restaurant over at Holland V after school on Tuesday, and we sure enjoyed the company of each other, with lots of updating done.

Food wasnt very good though. And the place was a tad too dark. Not a very good place for taking photographs.

we ordered their "award winning" calamari, which didnt exactly win our hearts.

me, daph and joanne's mushroom aglio olio for a mere $8. but it was mediocre.

valen's spicy primavera with lotsa brinjal

a group picture in the restaurant; a rare picture of me from a different angle. LOL
and lastly, group picture using my camera's "beauty" mode.

Girlfriends are love.

Artists For Haiti

2010-03-11T23:06:00.002+08:00

Have you heard the latest version of "We Are the World"?

It was playing on my blog previously and I seriously love that song.

I heard this new version on Class 95 and it gave me the goosebumps.

Songs like these always give me the goosebumps. They just have this extra feel; something indescribable.

Listen to it now if you still have not heard it. :)

Gracious Singaporeans ?

2010-03-06T23:04:00.004+08:00

Do you guys know who this fellow is? I'm sure you everyone does. How can a Singaporean not know who Singa the lion is?? He's the icon for Singapore Kindmess Movement!

I dont know why but it seems to me that Singa has not been appearing in public places for quite some time and it was only recently that I started seeing him around.

Standees in LJS, MRT stations and many more.

Looks like the Singapore government is making the effort to get Singaporeans to be as gracious as possible.

"The Singapore Kindness Movement (SKM) aims to encourage Singaporeans to make a positive commitment to gracious living through simple acts of kindness in their daily activities."

-SKM website

I seriously think that many Singaporeans lack graciousness.

I hate it when people on the train dont give up their seats when necessary. Shame on them. Seriously.

We These people need to start reflecting and start being kind to the people around us. When will we ever get to see Singapore becoming a gracious country? When??

Timbre Night

2010-03-06T22:16:00.009+08:00

Chillax session with Daph, Valen, Chris, Glenn and Melvis last night at Timbre (Art House). Had been a long time since we (girls + Glenn) went out to just chill and talk. Kinda considered the first time with Melvis joining in for chilling sessions. Sadly, Joanne didnt join us. Joanne Lee! If you're reading this, you HAVE TO be around for the next session ok!

Met up with Chris first before heading over to meet them.

I was trying out the anti handshake function of my camera and managed to take a pretty clear picture of the bridge above the singapore river. Not bad eh?

Always failed to get a nice and clear shot of the Fullerton Hotel at night and surprisingly, this one came out quite okay.

No alcohol for me that night, so I had a mocktail, Virgin Sakura - lychee, lychee syrup and ribena. I forgot to take pictures of it, but it was really nice and refreshing. Great for someone like me who doesnt like alcohol.

There exactly 6 of us, 3 girls 3 guys, 3 pairs, but only 1 real couple la haha.

So presenting to you, the pairs..

the girls

the guys

and the group.Left Timbre at around 12.30am and Valen suggested going for 2nd round; KTV pub. =.=''

So we went to some KTV pub at Circular Rd where the patrons sang horribly. =.=''

Luckily for Glenn and Melvin, we managed to save our ears from the bad singing after some time.

on the way for 2nd round.

we were practically nua-ing there. and check out my super pale lips as compared to Valen's and Daph's. =.=''

We ought to have more sessions like these. But maybe not till the wee hours. Haha.

and if only life can be as serene.

Early bird

2010-03-05T00:21:00.004+08:00

Specs day today cos of the lack of sleep last night.

I had only 2 hours of sleep because I had to rush out a report by this morning.

8am lecture followed and I woke up at 6.30am with my eyes puffy from the lack of sleep.

And on days where I have 8am lectures, I have tp leave my house before 7am to avoid the stupid ERP, which is now $1.50 from 7.30-7.34am and $3 after 7.35am.

Like what the @*_&$!%#^@+#&@^#)@%!

Just one month apart and the charges increased by $1!
Seriously man, all the crap about easing the traffic and shit. I see no easing of the traffic at all yo!

And because I left early, I reached school early.
Early enough to catch the sun rising.

And because I dont have the season parking at Science now, I gotta park my car at the MPSH which is 3 bus stops away, walk to the nearest bus stop, and catch the shuttle bus to Science.

So after the 2nd photo was taken, I ran to chase after the bus, which was already in front.

It's stupid that I can still be late for lectures even though I reach school way before lecture starts. All thanks to the waiting for the shuttle bus.
Well I could walk over to Science, but really, who would use the little energy early in the morning to walk up a hill to get to the destination, when the shuttle bus could very well come along the nx minute and bring u to the destination at the same time you reach the place on foot? Okay that was a really long sentence and may not seem to make any sense but I think u get the drift. LOL.

Sunrise makes me happy.

Photohunt love

2010-03-05T00:20:00.000+08:00

Photohunt helps to kill time when shopping is not an option and there is an arcade around. ("v")

Pep the devil

2010-03-02T01:14:00.003+08:00

Haha! One pathetic post in the month of February. Omg. What a record.

Totally disgusting. Even June had more posts than this. Tsk tsk.

Anyway, Pep has been very rebellious lately.

He bit me today and left a small mark on my finger.

Was damn furious cos he had pee-ed at home, and when I gave him a smack on the butt, he growled at me. Got me pretty flared up by then, and I grabbed his mouth when he turned and bit me instead. Tsk tsk.

So much for all the love and attention he gets from us!

What ever happened to the oh so adorable Pep pep he used to be???

Haha ok, its not like he isnt adorable still, but he's slowly growing a monster inside him. Not good at all.

Side tracking, Chris might be getting a mini poodle! Adopting. Weiren's got a friend who's giving his 11mnth old poodle away and Chris is pretty keen on getting it. Will see if the dog's still around and Pep will probably have a new BFF! :))

One pathetic update

2010-02-25T00:15:00.010+08:00

Haha its been ages since I last blogged.
Really didnt have the time to even switch on my laptop for the past one week.

Quite a number of things happened over these few weeks but I dont think I've got the photos and the time to blog for every single event. Boo.

Since this is the case, shall just update bout the most recent one - CNY'10.

Everyone knows that Vday fell on 初一 this year so apparently, Chris and I didnt go out for any celebration. There was just the very simple gift exchange, in which my gift to him was really simple and ahem. Haha. Chris was sweet to get me ...

my very own bear from Built-A-Bear!

And in the box, there were several stuff..

My Dannie bear!

the birth certificate

a very sweet card

and a bouquet of roses..

It was a really pleasent surprise because I had been mentioning to him about the Built-A-Bear workshop and I did not expect him to go make the bear himself.

I didnt manage to take any pictures of my gifts to him, so no pictures!

I shall end very abruptly here and continue with other posts some other day for its time for me to go get enough slp for my 8am lecture later on. Haha. Good night!

Point.

2010-01-30T03:18:00.002+08:00

Oh my gosh, cant believe it has been another 15 days of not blogging. And to think I said I would blog about my TW trip soon and stuff. It's pretty saddening that I dont have the feel to blog anymore. Not like I dont want to, I think its more like I am too lazy to.

How bout point form blogging for this post? =D

-Life has been pretty boring recently.

-I think I've KINDA secured a job? I guess?

-I need to finish up an essay due this coming Tuesday and Im still bumming around. It weighs 20% of the final grade btw.

-I need to study for my M5 (which I shant name it) test which is next coming Monday. I cannot fail it because it cost me $107 to take the freaking test. Failing it means a waste of money.

-I hate Wednesdays cause my day is packed from 10am-9pm every week. :(

-First time I'm feeling so darn broke. Am spending only $2 every day in school.

-CNY is coming and I cant wait for it b'coz of the red packets.

-Am thinking whether to cut my hair. Maybe bangs?

-Pepsi now weighs 4kg. HEAVY!

Okay, it's now 3.30am and its time to get back to my essay. Wish me luck! Tudos!

Life is full of uncertainties. You will never know what lies ahead of you.

It's been a while

2010-01-18T23:25:00.002+08:00

Hello people! Im back! After like 15 days of not blogging?

Haha, had been off to Taiwan with Chris, Daph and Valen for 6 days and had been really lazy to blog.

Pictures are with Daph cos I was too freaking lazy to take my camera out while we were there.

School has started and Im dreading to go back to school.

Looking on the bright side, I have an alternate 3 days week. One day is a 2 hour lecture day. 8am lecture on top of that. Wonderful. =.=

I need money. Im seriously broke.

I guess I needa start looking for tuition kids again. BOO.

Okay enough of the randomness. Will blog again once I get all the pictures! Tudos!

chipmunks attack

2010-01-03T12:33:00.002+08:00

Alvin and the chipmunks 2 last night! Like finally.

Oh yea, still as cute as ever. The chipettes were adorable too, love their dance moves HAHA.

As usual, story line is bla, no original tracks this time round. All you can expect is their cuteness and more cuteness.

I would want a talking chipmunk for a pet too if there is one in reality. But I would want one like theodore please.

Theodore is still my all time favourite. Seriously, who can resist this adorable furball man?

And did you know that Theodore's voice is actually that of Jesse McCartney's?
Cute + cute = Uber adorable.

And did you know that there is the animated version of the chipmunks and chipettes?
Looks yucky to me. Hate cartoons with colours like that. Bla.

Many nice movies coming soon, Cant wait!

TW in 5 days. Ooo yea! Tudos!

Oyster mee sua

2010-01-02T02:54:00.002+08:00

Ooo yea, I got my craving for oyster mee sua satisfied today.

I always get to have my cravings satisfied a few days after. How absolutely wonderful!

Headed down to Far East w Mom and Chris today to get some CNY shopping done. It took me quite a while before I saw something for myself. :DD

Now I'm counting down to the TW trip, which is in a wk's time. It's gonna be hell loads of fun. I suppose.

Now, I gotta go sleep. My biological clock has already gone haywired and its almost time to get it fixed before school officially starts for me. Tudos!

Starvation

2010-01-01T03:39:00.003+08:00

It's 3:39am now and Im starving.

Im craving for some piping hot Sour and Spicy soup.

And a bowl of oyster mee sua pls!

I'm going to get oyster mee sua tomorrow. I am.

Rag Dancers Love

2010-01-01T02:08:00.006+08:00

Dearest Alvan, Yingfeng and Joceyln planned a Rag Dancers' Christmas gathering last Sunday at the newly opened "The Hangout".

It's located at Prinsep St, just below Mind's Cafe, and has exactly the same concept as MC. The edge over the latter is that they have console games and Wii there! They also have private rooms for private gatherings. Damn awesome!

Now I wouldnt even bother going to MC anymore.

We played only the board games and that was enough to keep us occupied for 2 hours.

Played Cranium, Captain clueless and pictureka and they were all damn fun! Love pictureka the most though haha.

And thats me being the captain in captain clueless.

We then had the gift exchange where everyone bought a gift of around $10.

For that, each of us picked a number and we would pick our present of our choice from the lot according to our number.

After choosing, we could decide whether to put the present back into the lot and wait till the last person has chosen his/her present and choose again, or be content with what we chose. But that was not all, the person behind you could choose to take your present if he/she was not content w the present they chose and liked yours better.

I was lucky that I chose Alvan's present, and he was right behind me, so he didnt choose to sntach my present from me.

Im really happy with what I chose! A piglet seat cushion! Super cute!!

Am not posting the others' pictures during the gift exchange except Esther's cos she chose my present. A portable table LED lamp.! It's uber cute and I really liked it. Haha.

It was an awesome night with the great company. I love my rag dancers.! They are the ones who made my uni life in year 1 super awesome.

Im looking forward to next year's Christmas gathering already!

Oh, and Happy New Year everyone!! SMILE!!!!

Currently playing..

2009-12-31T03:48:00.003+08:00

Class 95 is playing "Heal the world" by MJ currently.

I love that song. Brings back many childhood memories. It always gives me goosebumps without fail.

This version of the song is simply wonderful. Sucha clear and smooth voice. Such an amazing singer.

We'll never find anyone like him ever again.

2009-12-31T03:25:00.002+08:00

I long to touch the clouds. What bout you?

Hoho Christmas

2009-12-31T01:01:00.006+08:00

Christmas was spent watching tv the whole day at home this year. What a Christmas. Had gift exchanging with Chris though, and also bought a pair of earrings from TAKA Jewellery for Mom.

Went to town with Chris to catch Avatar on Christmas eve. Quite a pretty good movie, great transition from the real world and the Navis' world. And the movie cleverly illustrated human's greed which is really incorrigible.

Headed over to Xin Wang for lunch before the movie started. We were both starving.

Had the black pepper chicken chop spaghetti which is always oh so delicious.

Chris had pork chop spaghetti and that's the piece of fatty meat. Yuck.

The Christmas lightings around Orchard were abit disappointing. Though those at CK Tangs were no better but I liked it.

And this is the reason why I detest going down to Orchard on festive seasons.
Headed to Sho Teppan at ION Orchard for dinner. It was an interesting place cos you have to cook the food yourself.

Yummilicious salmon!

And I like the boots at New Look! But they're abit too high for me cos Im too short. Still comtemplating whether to get them or not.

This picture was taken by Chris after I let out a SUPER loud hiccup on the train. It was freaking embarrassing.

It had been quite some time since we went out on a "date". It was a simple day spent but I did enjoy myself.

Thank you for everything.

Guess

2009-12-25T02:30:00.003+08:00

Guess who I saw last Saturday?

It's Glenn Ong and Jean Danker from Class 95!!

Wasn't very excited about seeing Glenn Ong, but was extremely happy to see Jean Danker. Have always liked her since she was in 987, previously Perfect 10. Always prefered her to Jamie Yeo. Even till now. Ha!

She's freaking skinny!

Asked her for a picture and she was really nice to say yes. She's super nice! NO airs at all.

Took one with Glenn Ong too.

That totally made my day. Am now a Class 95 listener, though I still dont know who the DJs are. Ironically, I certainly prefer listening to the DJs over at 987fm. I love the songs played at Class 95, but love the DJs at 987fm.

If only there can be a combination of both.

If only.

Bye again

2009-12-24T03:22:00.004+08:00

Poor hammy suffering from a serious case of infected wound was put to sleep on 22nd Dec 2009.

We decided to let him go peacefully rather than to continuously be treated with medication that didnt seem to make his condition improve.

He wasnt ours from the very start, but a hamster of sis's friend.
He was in very very bad shape when sis first took him over from them, but he was still eating well, and was of an acceptable weight.

But his condition went downhill within 3 weeks.
He lost lots of weight and shrunk in size.

We so wanted to help him recover. But it seemed like the poor guy couldnt handle all that stress.
He couldnt walk and he couldnt crack a seed. We couldnt bear to seem him suffer anymore.

We decided to let him go.

The whole process was done so swiftly, and he was gone in a few minutes.

We brought him back and buried him.

We put him in a small container for burial

Dug a hole.....
And 入土为安

R.I.P dear hammy.

Bad year ahead?

2009-12-24T01:59:00.006+08:00

I foresee year 2010 to be a bad year.

Firstly, my application for the carpark at NUS Science was unsuccessful;

We regret to let you know that you are unsuccessful in the balloting exercise for your preferred car park (Car Park 1, 2A, 10 or 16) during the Semester II Academic Year 2009/2010 (11 January 2010 to 8 May 2010).

Well, I could apply for the carpark at the other part of NUS, which means that I would need to leave earlier because after parking, I would have to take an internal shuttle bus to get back to Science. And that, is totally irritating.

Secondly, I so totally lost my source of income for next year. No more tuition classes. I probably suck at being a tutor, so I guess being a teacher is so totally out of the picture.

I needa go find new tutees. I aint getting any pocket money no more. Economy is bad. I need jobs. Oh man, this totally sucks.

But I truly hope 2010 isnt gonna be as bad as I think it would be.

2009 is coming to an end soon. '
Time is passing just too quickly. We're all growing up all too quickly.

Some thoughts

2009-12-21T01:23:00.002+08:00

I wanna blog, but nothing's coming into mind.

Lots of thoughts running through my head, but I just cant seem to pin them down in words.

But I'll probably touch a bit on the Copenhagen issue that's pretty hot in the world news right now.

It's good that the UN is taking action, albeit it being a tad too late. But as the saying goes, better late than never. It's definitely no easy feat to have countries from all over the world to settle on an agreement to help save the earth in whatever ways possible.

It has been stated in news from all sources that the Copenhagen Accord has not met the expectations of many environmentalists and scientists, but it is definitely the first step towards fighting the climate change that is affecting millions worldwide.

After a grueling 2 weeks, leaders around the world came to an the agreement of the Accord which had 4 benchmarks;

1) Keeping global temperature rise within two degrees Celsius

2) A commitment by all countries to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases that are warming the atmosphere

3) Progress on tackling deforestation

4) Starting of a fund which developing countries - especially the poorest ones - could use to cope with climate change effects.

Well after having watched "The day after tomorrow" and "2012", I seriously think that something has to be done so that the planet that we reside on will not be destroyed by our doings.

I hope the end of the world will never come, though this seem pretty unrealistic given the fact that we ARE destroying Earth bit by bit with every single action that we're undertaking.

It seems that the only reachable goal to help us save our own planet is really to cut down on the emission of greenhouse gases.

I've stopped using the air-conditioner in my room. Are you guys able to do so too?

Update #2

2009-12-20T18:24:00.005+08:00

Headed down to Zirca for Seventeen Magazine's Queen of Queen Bash last Friday.

Zona was in it, representing Science. Free entry + 1 free drink. The 1 free drink was a soft drink. =.='' Wow.

Shall just let the very few pictures I have do the talking. :))

Preparing to head out. Did some editing to the pics but nothing drastic. Ha.

Me, Valen and Daph at Zirca

With dearest Daph

Dear went along too
the FREE drinks

after the bash ended and you can see the 2nd runner up beside me

the supporters with Zona

headed over to Rebel since entry was free, the girls and YS were having fun but I wasnt in any dancing mood. :((

Thats about it for that night. Nothing happening. We're all getting old. Boo.

My Mother, My Heroine

2009-12-15T22:07:00.003+08:00

建立一个家，不是一个人的力量，而是每个人的共同努力。

My mom is my heroine. She's such a strong woman and I really aspire to be like her.

He makes our lives so miserable, my mom's in particular. I feel sad for my mom. I want to do make her feel better, but I feel so helpless.

She has so much to worry about, to think about.

It's as though she's supporting the whole family. Alone.

Where is the fatherly figure that is supposed to be present in every family? Why is it that I dont see that?

It breaks my heart to see my mom like that. How I wish I can just get a job right now to help lighten her burden. I need to start supporting the family. I really need to.

On the other hand, when will he ever come to his senses and let us be proud to have him as our father?

Disappointment

2009-12-15T20:24:00.004+08:00

I have so much to rant.

So much anger within me.

What is a father?

I see so many people doing such wonderful jobs being good daddies/husbands.
But why is it that I dont have the fortune to have a father like those?
I dont even think we're asking alot from you.

All we really want, is just for you to see as being important. Spend time with us. Drink less, smoke less, and really to just stop treating Mom like shit.

~~I thought you changed for the better. I thought.~~

~~To my dismay, everything was just a show. A show which didnt even go on for more than a month.~~

~~I've lost all my respect for you. You're all but a stranger to me now. A stranger who comes home and sprouts nonsense, bathes and sleep then go out the very next day and the whole cycle repeats.~~

Disappointment, anger and helplessness. That's all that's within me now.

菩萨，请把我之前认识的老爸还给我们好吗？

Packed holidays

2009-12-14T23:00:00.002+08:00

I dont know why, but my holidays always feel so much more packed than when I'm schooling.
Quite ironic isnt it? Haha.

The past one week had been quite a hellish week, with 7 out of 7 days packed with stuff.

Monday - FOPCC meeting
Tuesday - D&D meeting
Wednesday - Old Folks Home visit
Thursday - Work for 7 up Revive
Friday - Seventeen Mag Queen of Queen bash
Saturday - Old Clothes Collection
Sunday - Old Clothes Collection

OMG. If I didnt list them out, I dont even think I would have realised the whole week was filled to the brim. Oh my gosh. Im super glad that this week is less packed.

And I'm damn deprived of sleep. I wanna have one day where I can sleep the whole day till I wake up without the disturbance of an alarm clock.

Okay more detailed posts with pictures coming up. :)

Stay tuned!

Hicky Hiccups

2009-12-08T00:38:00.003+08:00

I hate hiccups.

They are damn irritating, and damn noisy for me. And once I start hiccup-ing, it can continue for at long as 45 minutes.

I still remember there was once I had hiccups for so long that I had "stitches", if they are spelt that way.

They used to go away every time I held my breath but this approach no longer works for me.

Have heard of many different ways to stop hiccups such as getting scared by someone, drinking lots of water, holding your breath and etc. So I went to search google and there're so many more ways in which people claim, can stop hiccups.

Breathe in and out of a paper bag. Do not use plastic bag for the purpose and don’t do it for more than 1 minute.
Breathe in and out quickly.
Close your eyes and apply slow, gentle pressure to the outside of the eyelids, over the eyeballs.
Drink 1-2 tbsp of dill pickle juice or balsamic vinegar.
Eat 1 tbsp of peanut butter.
Eat a slice of dry bread, without any spread, slowly.
Exaggerate your hiccups by inhaling at the same time as you get the next hiccup.
Exhale completely and hold your breath for as long as possible.
Gulp down a glass of cool water.
Place one finger in each ear and count to twenty.
Relax, sit still and breathe in deep, slow, rhythmic breaths, making sure to expand and contract your lungs completely.
Stare at something for 15-20 seconds, without breathing or moving.
Swallow 1 tsp of dry, white sugar. If the hiccups don’t stop immediately, repeat for 3 times more, at an interval of 2 minutes.
Swallow three times in a row and then take a deep breath.
Take a large glass with water and keep drinking until you swallow your hiccup.
Take a shot of lemon juice.
Think of something funny and try to laugh.
Try gargling with water for 2-3 minutes.
Try to distract your mind from the hiccups. Watch TV, sing a song, start counting backwards - from 100 to 1, and so on.
Try to make yourself burp.

Those in bold are things that I've tried before and those in red are ways which I think are ridiculous. Am totally amused at the funny things before can come up with.

How has closing your eyes and apply pressure to the eyelids got to do with hiccups?? Hiccups are afterall related to the esophagus and not the eyes. Omg.

For now, I still hold my breath for as long as I can whenever I get hiccups. Or, gulp down water while holding my breath. They work sometimes! Or could it had just been a coincidence all along?

Bim, Surprise!

2009-12-06T00:29:00.003+08:00

Met Valen and Joanne on Thursday before the networking session to do the belated bday board for Daphne Bim and later went on to surprise her at her place.

We were intially quite worried that it would turn out bad cause we got a small board which was unable to fit all the pictures but later came to a consensus that a smaller board looked much prettier.

But all our boards were nice cause they were all done with love by the different Bs to the bday B. LOL.

Well, glad you like the board Bim! And the surprise too!! :))
Bs Love.

OSA Networking Session

2009-12-06T00:04:00.004+08:00

Dingli, president of Science Club invited the MC members to go down for the networking session at DXO on Thursday. There was also a workshop on how to create a good impression and the speaker was Ms Teo Ser Lee, an ex beauty queen.

She's really pretty in real life, and humorous too. Pretty glad I signed up for it cause I learnt qutie a bit from Ms Teo and it was really interesting to watch/listen to her.

We were supposed to go network and talk to different student leaders in NUS but ended up networking among ourselves.

And DXO is kinda pathetic. After the networking session was over, everyone started going home, leaving only the Science Club people the only ones left in the club.

That was really the first time I saw a club SOO empty, even by 11pm. There was a live band/group singing on stage, and I felt really sad for them cause we were their ONLY audience. We left eventually, leaving the club to having NO customers at all. Tsk tsk.

And I was a paparazzi for bout 15 minutes there. Caught several scandalous looking pictures!

Curious?

Hahaha. Shall just post this least scandalous looking photo lest anyone of them in the photo comes looking for me wanting to beat me up. Will probably just upload them onto FB. Just stay tuned!

Post Exams.

2009-12-05T23:31:00.007+08:00

The Science Club gang decided to have a post exam dinner and fireworks viewing on Wednesday at Vivo.

Headed down to Marche for dinner first.

The Marche Crepe is fabulous. Heavenly delicious. I think it would be be all time favourite at Marche from now. Chicken breast is officially stripped off its post. The crepe is really delicious, together with cheese and main toppings (blackforest ham + sauteed mushrooms). Mmmmmm. I wouldnt mind going to Marche for gatherings now! HEE!

After dinner

The dinner was followed by the 6+ minute fireworks show.

The fireworks part was pretty funny.

Daph and I had cravings for Starbucks after Marche, so we rushed down to Starbucks just 10 minutes before 9 so we wouldnt miss the fireworks.

We ran and we did manage to reach back by 9 and by then, everyone at that particular area outside Marche seemed like they were frozen in their time with their cameras held high shooting the sky, awaiting the first spark in the sky.

It was about 1 minute after 9 when we started to question whether it was even possible to see the fireworks at the place where we were at. And true enough, the show was at the other side and all of a sudden, you see this HUGE group of people running towards the other side, still with their cameras in their hands.

It was like a stampede. Freaking hilarious. Too bad I didnt catch a video nor a photo of that.

I didnt manage to get really good pictures of the fireworks. These are kinda like the best.

This is still my favourite one out of the lot.

Wei Ming took a pretty decent video of the whole show and if you guys are interested, can check it out here.

It was great hanging out with these wonderful peeps. Chilling and gossiping like no one else's business.

And the 3 of us managed to squeeze onto 2 seats on the train. THREE butts on TWO seats.

Awesome night with the awesome people. :)

Beauty

2009-12-05T01:46:00.001+08:00

4Bs meet up

2009-12-01T03:05:00.004+08:00

BimBamBoomBom finally finished the dreaded exams after so long. Well mine ended last Thursday, but the other 3 girls ended only today.

Headed down to town for a meal and some chillax session. The girls wanted to have a good meal. Like a really GOOD one, so decided on Coffee Club.

BUT, to our great great disappointment, the food was totally urgh. My favourite slipper lobster linguine was no longer on their menu and I ended up eating some Piri Piri Chicken pasta which was pretty pathetic and not very nice. Valen and Joanne had Alfredo which they totally dislike too. Daph had the Smoked Salmon Garlic Cream pasta or smth along that line and she didnt finish it either. Tsk tsk, Coffee Club is officially no longer a place I would visit for food in future.

Paired photos. I am not so much shorter than Valen in real life k.

the 2 bestfriends.

1st group photo

toilet camwhoring time, while J was in the cubicle.

when J came out. more toilet camwhoring.

we wanted to take a pic with the Christmas tree but didnt wanna approach pple to help us take a shot.

ended up using the "zi-pai" method. caught a little of the tree. not that bad an attempt.

one final one before we left for home sweet home.

And Im totally digging the beauty mode function.

I need to spend some quality time with the dearest and my friends. :))
Till then!

how are you.

Why is it that someone can quit smoking for his health but not drinking?

Shouldnt you, as a father and husband keep your word after saying something? You said you would stop drinking and that made everyone of us in the family so happy. I didnt believe you completely, but I was secretly hoping that I was wrong to not believe you. Well, and I was right.

I cant believe you would actually place your friends and your ownself above us. It's damn saddening. Really wonder when you would actually start thinking about us, really.

crystal-less

2009-11-28T01:09:00.003+08:00

I'm feeling damn mad now.

Remember the crystals I blinged on my hp, cam and hard disk? Half of them have dropped since then. Urgh.

This is what my hard disk and hp look like now.

My hard disk's crystals have TOTALLY dropped. There is no crystals at all left. Luckily they were all in my pouch so I still have the crystals.

The infuriating part is that my hard disk is always kept in my pouch and thus I have no idea why they dropped.

My phone's worse. So unsightly!

My cam's supposed to be the best. The crystals didnt drop at all until just now! And I didnt even notice it till Chris told me. =.=''

I think I will just go get the crystals and glue myself to stick the crystals back.

So ugly right! Seriously cant stand it. I bet the remaining crystals will just drop off sooner or later.

The worst thing is that it hasnt even been a month yet. NOT EVEN A MONTH!

Okay enough ranting. Good bye.

Pepsi love

2009-11-27T00:41:00.003+08:00

Pepsi vs coke. Who wins? Haha I dont know for you guys, but I would personally vote for Pepsi, cause Pepsi rocks!

So thats how Pepsi's name came about. Many have asked how Pepsi got his name.

Well, he chose it himself.

Well you see, when we got him back at that time, each of us wrote down 2 names for choices. We then let him pick out one of the choices and that would be his name.

So you should be able to guess it by now. He picked the paper with the name Pepsi written on it. And Pepsi was the one I wrote!! Haha.

If we do get another dog in future, or if Pepsi gets to be a father, we will name the other one Cola.

Pepsi Cola!! How cool is that?!?! :)))

He loves sleeping, and so do I. Good night world!

good things in life.

Oh yes! Its 2 papers down. 2 more to go and I will be FREEEEEEE!

I'm so looking forward to the Taiwan trip in January. Will be missing a few lectures though, cause school will have started by then. Will be going with the girls and Chris. Have booked the tix already too! Awesomeness!

I wanna go shopping, eat good food, try out theme park rides, take neoprints, see celebrities and many many more!! But I'm damn broke now. Wonder where all my money went. Well this is really bad.

I need to work too. Think all my previous tutees are not resuming classes anymore. :((

Any tuition lobangs people?

Dead meat.

I'm in some deep shit. Tomorrow's the killer paper and yet Im still idling my time away here, FB, and everywhere. TSK.

POW AUDREY you need to wake up your idea.

Somehow, I dont feel the anxiety to study at all. Have been wasting lots of time the past few days. Playing with the untouched webcam which turned out to be an uber cool webcam. This program called YouCam was discovered in the midst of using the webcam for the very first time to video conf with the Brenda in clubroom.

Then we moved on to playing with oovoo which is an uber cool program which allows video conferencing with up till 5 friends. Cool or what?? But downside of it is that you have only 30 days of trial for the conferencing. Gotta pay after that. :(

Well we were studying in the club room but havoc set in when we started playing with the video calls. And then Mel told us bout oovoo, we downloaded it, and ended up with these.

but after a while, we knew we had to study. And went back to studying. HAHA

But oovoo aside, Im pretty much happy with the fact that I've got YouCam. Its just like the photobooth in Mac. I think it's installed in quite many laptops with webcam I think. I'm just too slow. Sucha mountain tortoise. HAHA.

Gotta get back to the notes. Total disgust.

If only studying was as easy as ABC.
