Its been a long hiatus.
Decided I should recollect whats been filling in my time for the 2months.

It was possibly the busiest months I've had in the year.
Dont even remember being that geared up prior the exams.

After the end of exams on the 1st week of June.
I took on the job of invigilator for the ACCA exams the very next day.

Followed by a weekend getaway to Malacca with the hommies.
20 of us in 2 mini vans.
This is prob the 1st major family trip.
We walked so MUCH.
No public transport on the entire trip.
We walked to and fro the malls and the JONKER WALK.
Had chicken rice balls salty chendol and the very tasty spicy prawn mee from malacca's newton.
Also 'le le chuan' plus manymany roadside food from jonker.
The fruit juice there was so cheap and good that we drank it like plain water.
Simply a food haven.

Presenting to you...MISS MAGGIE-MARKET!!! HAHA.

We're the apples in jojo's eye!

It not hard to see why they're bro & sis.

Our 1st makan pit stop. Along JB i think.

Table 1

Table 2

Table 3

Finally got to our hotel after 4 hours of bus ride.
We had 2 big suites for the entire group of us!
Its like living in a 3 room flat.
Way cool.

Us, the pseudo backpackers!

Jo the grouchy tourist

my roomies!

The tourists acts begin.
This is one of the few 'scenic spots' there are.

Our 'tour guide' asked if we wanted to go to their museums.
All of us opted to pass those.
Cos we wanted to save $ & time to SHOP and EAT.

Just a snap to show we've been there.

This is the Ship Museum

Malacca's Flyer.
That tower.Its very slow motion Top Gun made of glass.
It slowly swirls up for scenery viewing.
One of the 'attraction spots'.

Our Lunch: Famosa Chicken rice ball.

Check out the famous ppl who've patronised! (refer to pic behind)
HAHA.

The balls.
We ordered 30 for each table.
But its not nice =(
The cheaper and more authentic stall was closed.

But the nice decor of the restaurant made up for the disappointing balls.
Enough reasons for us to camwhore.

the girls and their mommy.same height! haha.

wai gong trying to be the rickshaw rider

the dowager and her 'gong gong' + many palace maids

emperor and empress

Desserts after lunch.
We had CHENDOL and ROJAK at an attap hut.
The chendol got no QC.
Its as if 10 diff ppl prepared the chendol.
Some tasted SALTY some MILKY some SWEET and some TASTELESS.

The shopping starts at Jonker Walk.

Food AGAIN.
Ribena posicles! Shiok for the hot weather.

we heart sunnies!

My god aunt and her friend.
On the super colourful trishaw.
Damn piang!

Jonker walk is a looong stretch of pasar malam.
Which took us 2 nights to cover.
Able to get some gd buys, mainly lil stuff like accessories.
Esp loved their shades.
All of us bought at least a pair each!

Day 2:

Macs brekkie.
Cos newton was not opened and the hotel breakfast sucks!

TEEENS

all the kids and the heritage train

jordi boy: "i dont wanna climb the high hills"

My aunt and her best friend =)
Yeah we welcome friends on our family trips too!

We climbed the fastest! HAHA.

The st paul church

mommies in their sunnies

Mr tour guide and videoman!
Yes he video-ed our entire trip! HAHA.
Xiaojiu rocks!

the ship again!
as you can see the area is so small.
everywhere we got the ship in in sight.

the 245!
so cute father n son, mother n daughter have synchronised poses.

Roadside dinner at jonker streets

Old school 'lu bian tan'

the happy and satisfied diners!
we had prawn mee, wanton mee, char kway teow, cockles, tau pok, laksa, sushi...

3rd day:
Breakfast at the hotel
jordi: the food is so yuck!

jordi boy =)

and this, to sum up how i felt abt the trip.
how apt =)

Good food, good shopping alongside the company of my favourite people.
I'm not asking for more really.
I would love to go back for another of such session anytime!

After recharging from the trip I went for rounds of interviews with the GE groups.
Am still undecided about which to go to till today.
Independent or tied firms?
And which company then?
I'm just gonna get the license first and shall see from there.
*Shudders*

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

Did teaching at a c*ral pri sch for a week.
It was a psle science preparatory programme.
Fun stressed tired at the same time.
Cos there were like beforehand preparations i have to do.
Gotta do CONCEPT minds for the various topics. -_-
There was a lot of syllabus to cover within a short span of time.
I felt so zapped of my energy after just 2 hours session with the kids.

Doesnt help that theres this SENIOR WOMAN who sits in to exert additional stress on me.
She was supposedly there to 'guide' me.
But argh!
Can you imagine some conspicuous figure at the back of the class?
Who kept throwing disapproving looks and shaking her head whilst you're teaching.
Seriously #$*$!##@!$#@
More like she was there to show how GOOD she was.
Which i beg to differ.
I totally felt like screaming at her.

The kids were deprived of doing their experiments as a result of her wanting to spend time going thru nitty gritty details like spelling C-O-B-A-L-T?
Absolutely ridiculous.
I mean hello?
These are p6 students.
Thank god the kids eventually got to make their own ice cream on the 3rd day when she wasnt there.

Now i know how to make ice cream without a FREEZER.
Its so simple and fun!
I didnt dare sample my product thou!
But the kids loved their ice cream.
Some said it tasted better than Haagen Daz.

My smart alec student attempted to make the ice cream after i told him about it.
And being the smart alec he is.
He even added MILO powder(not in the recipe) cos he thought he could have an alternative flavour for his ice cream.
He then put the mixture into the freezer!
I already told him clearly it was ice cream making WITHOUT the freezer.
And of course, he failed.
Ended up with a popsicle instead!
Kwakwakwa.

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

Admidst busy tuition schedules and the many interviews.
I had my excitement at night to balance up my otherwise dull 'work life'.
Got hooked to the euro cups with cheryl yy and mel.
On weds we'll zouk first then drive over for the match.

yy is clearly not a mambo fan!

triggered happy! because i'm was in flip flops!

they shun from my mambo moves! HAHA.

Routine:
Chop seats at 12am and munch on for 2hrs before the match starts.

The macs i had in that 2 weeks was more than i ever had in the past year.
Buddy meals then macs brekkie at half time!
That was how hardcore.
By the time we hit the sack it'd been abt 6am.
Our bio clocks totally screwed.

placing bets with my b**kie

spaced out during half time

melody who kena DUO-MING. she look like PAC MAN right? HAHA.

ding dong bells! our theme was "black framed specs"

Because of those crazy routine.
We started to 'kee siao' at the odd hours.
So on days where there no matches.
We'll ktv at 1am, impromptu meetups at 12am, catch 2am shows.
In between waiting we'll sit at hk cafes to stall for time.
EATEATEAT.
We supper/early brekkie so much.
Damn unhealthy!
We'll go 126 for tim sum at 4am and hit home to sleep.

Cheryl: I could almost feel my fats coagulating!

we went dempsey for b&J's.
with my juniors who are all so grown.

leesokkhum =)))

i needed to flash my pearlies! HAHA.

Crazy ktv at 1am.

high tea and shopping with cherylanne lee!!!!!
one of the few times we saw each other in DAYlight!

not-so-sexay pout

All in all i had so much fun hanging with this bunch of crazy 1.5girl/boy.
Laughed and talk nonsense and scream and shout nonstop.
Albeit all that drama with the DUO MING callers and 'tou kak pai' ppl.
SO much intensive actions for 3 weeks before cheryl flew back.
I thought i suffered from euro withdrawal symptoms thereafter.
Went cold turkey. -_-

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

Slotted in an afternoon for this crazy stunt too.
Looks very much like purple rafia strings!

HAHA.
I'm still in bewilderment why i even agreed to it.
The fondness for the colour has grown on me now tho'.

Here comes one of the highlights!
Quotes Ann, "congrats pam! now you can shake off the title of bimbo!"
Yes i'm a qualified class 3 MANUAL driver!!! *skips around*
I'm still pretty much overwhelmed that i made it!
HAHAHA.
I was seriously expecting to fail for the 2nd time.
The tp was so fierce.
I tried to smile and apologized when i made mistakes.
But he gave me a pissed look and said "dont apologize to me".

Day before the test,

Instructor: "Most of my students pass on the 1st/2nd attempt.
So how? are you gonna break the record?"

I was so mad that i jam braked at the traffic junction!
He kept very quiet thereafter.
But he's a nice instructor lah.
He deserves some credits. =)

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

Met up for much tlc with the people who keep me sane and going.
I saw shaina yu, sying, ann, jiaen, ong cc, dr li, vases, my g2 girls! :)
Just about all whom i've not been seeing in a while.
It rocks that everyone's in this transiting period so we could easily arrange for spontaneous meet ups!

English tea and cakes with my WAN TYANG @ canelé =)
Stepping into our taitai lifestyle.

Shopping at toys'r'us for zisheng's nephew.
And that Dr Li kept saying that this looks like me!!!
It IS CUTE what! <--- read UGLY BUT ADORABLE

If thats me, then this must be HIM! (Quite nightmarish for kids actually)

While shopping for that PERFECT toy.
I see how couples can get into fights over trivial matters.

I felt that educational toys like those doodling ones or lego or maybe even those MR & MRS potatoes would be appropriate.
To stimulate the kids mind whilst playing.
But he kept looking at CARS and whatever GUNS or BUBBLES?!??!?
In the end we gave up.
Cos we couldnt agree on anything decent.
HAHA.

Checked out the new resturant in the vicinity.
Badoque.
Not that fantastic the food.

Where the vases sat.

What's dong doing?!?

the hair looks really short here!

Temptation island desserts.
Mango madness!

molly and momo

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

For now i'm busy with work.
Doing telemarketing with an independent FA firm.
Its totally YUCK.
Calling 200ppl a day and getting shitty attitudes from the receivers.
Some were just a plain waste of your time cos after accepting to do the survey they hang up!
AHHH.

I really feel like hurling vulgarities on many ocassions.
But our conversations are all recorded!
My reservations thus.
I'm gonna tahan for another week and QUIT therafter.
Otherwise my pay would be forfeited.
How brilliant.

I know I've always hated such jobs.
I tried at yellow pgs before and toally wanted to leave after an hr into it.
But i thought i'll give this a go for the sake of $ and filling time.
Since its only for 4hrs.
4 fecking hrs may i repeat.
Friends if you do pick up a survey call, pls be kind!

Wednesdays are speech & drama days!
read HAPPY!
Those p2 kids are so adorable.
And teaching this course is so much free-er and fun!
We do origami,story sharing and show and tell sessions.
I like!
At least there's something for me to look forward to.
My midweek highlight! =)

That pretty much sums up.
I'm starting to think i'm superwoman.
I actually did soso ALOT.
I haven had a breather eversince the day exams ended.

All that packed activities are starting to take a toil on me.
I guess I should go on a break.

I wanna go for a spa retreat!
Or just a short get away to some nearby island.
I need...

...a fresh breath of perspectives.

2008-05-14T14:00:00.003+08:00

I just saw the mid day news on updates of the earthquake and cyclone.
Death toll is still rising by the hour.
Shuddered when i saw the bodies being carried out amongst the debris.
Disasters, tragedies everywhere.

Somehow, very coincidentally during exams time, there were MAJOR hits.
I rem there was the 911 during the o's.
Then came sars in the college days.
I was secretly wishing everyone gets mobilized to help out in the crisis and exams would be called off.

Perhaps these predicaments serve to remind us that there are so much more important things in life that we've somewhat overlooked.
Like how we are so immersed in preparing for the exams atm.
THE MOST important thing now.
All other matters doesnt come into sight at all.
But just look at whats happening in the rest of the world.
Makes what we're going through seems so insignificant.

Oh well.
Am morphing into very emo modes these days.
Blame it on the weather and stress bug.

Ann says we're fighting a war.
My battle ground thus.

I told mom about the new pita chips.
And the next day she went to buy them in all the different flavours.
Enough comfort food to keep me going.

Well at least these colorful packages cheered me up abit =)

Where is the rainbow that brings light?
May the people in china myanmmar and whoever may desire to, find their rainbow soon.

2008-05-09T15:51:00.006+08:00

Back when I was a child, before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high and dance and then
Spin me around till I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure I was loved

When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way I would run from her to him
He’d make me laugh just to comfort me
Then finally make me do just what my mama said
Later that night when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me

If I could steal one final glance, another chance, another walk with him
I’d play a song that would never ever end
Cause I’d love love love
To dance with my father again

Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream

So marks the 10th year today.
The pain that has been etched a decade then.

My once perfect and sheltered life was torn the moment you left.

I would fall asleep
Only in hopes of dreaming
That everything would be like it was before
But nights like this it seems are slowly fleeting
They disappear as reality is crashing to the floor

You know, it still feels so surreal.
Many a times I'll be wondering where you'd gone to.
If you're really leading another life somewhere.
And then I'll find myself weeping silently.
Cos I know you've gone so far away.
Much as I miss you.
I havent the courage to browse through the photo albums.
To be reminded of the harsh reality.

I know you're watching over us.
I know you do hear our prayers.
And I know...

You'll never be forgotten.
Never will be.

2008-05-05T14:43:00.012+08:00

I'll usually choose to go light on meals for sundays or mondays.
Acts like a detox from all that hearty meals thruout the week.
Now chasoba is one of my fav options for sundays.
Quaker's oatmeal porridge is also a gd option for breakfast/dinner!
Ystd night grandma cooked some beans porridge.
Its really bland but a nice alternative to the usual white porridge.

The porridge with assorted beans.

My breakfast =) I'm getting better at cooking this! Added some cranberries for the sweet craving.

I was at the Food Hotel Asia show 2 weeks back with juicy and her mom.
We spent close to 4hrs walking up and down the 6 halls.
Decided we were too tired to continue with the other halls.
Got to 'graze' on those 'new' food from all over the world.
Think crystal mooncakes?
Grey looking calamari-roe cubes sushi? that was really gd...

Its a pity that all sales of products are prohibited for the show.
Hopefully they bring it to the stores soon!

At the wine&spirits section we sampled some mongolian vodka? and some new flavored choya.
The choya is so smooth and sweet. very ladies' drink.
We actually got really full from all the food samples.
So much gelato and yoghurt.
Being the typical.
We asked for one of each flavours.
Ended up throwing them away cos we couldnt finish them and also cos we wanted more gelato!
Damn greedy I know.

my entry proof.

Everything is real and edible! The checks on the top deck are cookies.then the cupcakes.the muffins and the cake base. they dont taste taste as gd as they look thou.

the cake that looks as gd as the real burger.

the cute pizza delivery scooter!

cake full of macarooooons. i think bakerzin sells something like that also.

assortment of canapes/tapas. looks too pretty to be eaten.

the singapore sling

happy veggies! they are all frozen and in cute bitesizes! some were on sticks like veggie satays!

Been attending the shows since 04.
Gosh.so much memories then.
I miss the aufresh guys (leo,gary).
And the very nice canadian brian.
Wah its been 4 years.
I was a still a TEENager then.
Ok i shall stop getting all emo.

Looking forward to FHA2010! =)

2008-05-01T17:46:00.003+08:00

ITS SOOO HOT.
Yesterday my uncle told me it was reported 35degree celsius.
Might hit 36 next week.
That is madness.

I went tanning/swimming with jojo and jiaen ystd.
First time i'm doing that in half a year?
And i came home feeling sluggish and 'under the weather'.
Like nauseous and all.
According to smartaleckid (SMA), he says people in Bali or was it Brazil? reported of such symptoms too.
Due to the too hot weather. Gahh.

And it completely doesnt help with my hair's current length.
Not here nor there. Cannot tie up without the loose bits hanging!
Damn irritating.
I'd gone to monsoon with ying on sunday wanting to cut it REAL SHORT.
Nvm the fact that i just had a cut less than a month back.
But all the way to freeaking novena and raymond didnt wanna cut my hair! =(
Well yes it was running late.
And he felt that it wasnt necessary as the cut was still good?
ARGH.
Now I have to wait till i'm done with exams.

The weather is so yuck that it makes me wanna throw up.
Ewww.
Completely killed all appetite.
I'm gonna cook myself some soba.
Served chillllllled.
Thats my latest cooking addiction.
Ditch those maggie mee!
Oh and Cook is sexxxay isnt he?
Always be my baby!
My other new addiction :)

Literal heat aside.
There's also the exams fever.
Too HOT to handle really.
Gowsh.
Drop me a chill pill somebody!

2008-04-27T02:42:00.003+08:00

Saw the video of 'the most passionate maths lecturer' on ann's blog.
Mr Syed.
I miss.
The hip hop pants.the "self".the "pair of look here eyes".
Gosh.
He definitely made a difference. =)

Cant believe I'm graduating in a matter of 1.5 months.

I never liked Math.
But Syed probably rekindled that flame.

And now I hope to pass on that kinda inspiration I derived from him to my tutees.

Which I think is happening. =)

It was really consoling to see my student putting in so much effort to the subj she didnt like.(Math)
Apparently she has grown to appreciate the subj.
From a 'D' for her PSLE, she has since topped the class in all the graded assignments.
So proud of her =)

Smart alec boy too.
He's working towards achieving that perfect score for the exams!

This boy says some of the most amusing things sometimes, albeit nasty.
I wonder what goes on in that 12 year old mind of his.
I should consider getting a book to put down all his CLASSIC quotes.

On his daddy's boss:

"My dad's boss is an ugly and short man.Who looks like a toad.
The 1st time I met him. I was surprised to see that there were no webs growing on his hands."

On his physical fitness test:

Me: I wonder how some people can jump 2m for their standing broad jump?

Kid: Oh for that, you probably gotta study the theory of air resistance, lift, drag,velocity, arm strength and ... then TADA! you'll get the perfect formula to jumping a 2m!

On his baby sis:

Me: She's so cute.

Kid: Oh yes. But sometimes she's like a total monster. Crying and wailing.She looks like she has a fit. I considered bringing her to see a medium.

Me: (shocked)You mean you know of some mediums?

Kid: Just go online and find!

Really, kids say the darnest thing.

2008-03-22T19:33:00.001+08:00

While at tuition,

Smart alec student: You know I used to hate doing homework and refused to hand in my work.

Me: So why the sudden change?

Smart alec student: It sounds ridiculous but I think it's because I started reading Harry Potter.

Me: (Uh huh. I know reading helps improve your languages. I didnt know it'll make you a maths and science whizzkid as well.)

Smart alec student: Cos at book 3, I read about how Hermoine Granger took up so many subjs at school and even tried to turn back time so that she could do well. And I was very inspired by that. I wanted to be like her. JK Rowling is such a great author.

Me: OH.

You know it makes me wanna start reading Harry Potter too.
I am so in need of that kinda inspiration.

2008-03-20T17:19:00.021+08:00

Did a 'reunion' with tuition mates dated back to pri sch.
Amazing how we still keep in contact.

Very random yes.
It was just a casual remark made by one of them.
And we materialised it.
Like wow!
Cos I secretly thought we were just pulling off another of those "yeah...let's catch up sometime SOON" catchphrase.

So the plan was dinner and drinks.
TT forgot she needed to go support her friends at cleo's EB party.
Since she had the invites we decided to go ahead with the idea.
Thou I kinda thought it wasnt the best idea to have a 'catch up' session at the club?
Doesnt really make sense to me.
Well the plus point: could cover up for possible awkward moments.
Considering the fact that we havent hung out since those tuition days?

Well it turned out we had like 'new people' in the group.
Cos both brought friends.
I could have asked my friends along too lah.
So much for thinking that it wouldnt be nice to have another stranger in the group since we already said it was only gonna be US.
What is this really?
Completely defeated the purpose of the meetup can.
Pfft.
I'd wanted to give the party a miss if not for the idea of the so called 'reunion'.
How crappy.
We are attempting a plan for another catch up.
TEA this time.

Well anyhow it was a good session of feast for the eyes nonetheless.

This year's theme! Not many people dressed up thou. I was expecting girls in skimpy mini uniforms. But apparently only the cleo people were into the cosplay.

The hosts.
Their jokes were rather distasteful.
I thought hossan leong could do better. But seriously we couldnt bother much.
Those 50men kept us busy! HA.

She looks better in real than how she appears on the mag.

The guy from sch.
We were in the same dept in the student council.
I thought he's ok.
Not my type.
Well I dont fancy fair guys.
He was in the sch's pageant too.
Didnt win any titles then.nor now.

TT's 'cousin'.hefulin.
Very DARLIE smile and very eligible too!
His body is woah! swimmer swimmer!
Albeit short.
L was joking about how we'll see a DIP on the stage when he stands amongst the others.
So evil! HAHA.

All 50 of them packed like sardines.

Check out that one on the extreme right!
He's our pick!!! hot angmoh eddy!
We couldnt contain our excitement when he came on stage.
I was like gushing and cheering nonstop like those fellow groupie!
But he is sososo cute can!
Just like how I remembered myself when I went to see wilberpan's concert!
And I thought I was over that phase.
This is so high school.

Now shirts off!
Look at those bodies!
OH MY DROOOOOOOL.

The game was called 'polishing your trophies'
See how those girls oil their trophies.
My gosh.
I think every girl wants their hands on those abs!

He was the prized trophy as expected!
No fight!
Ruggers are so sexaay!
Nvm the fact that he was only posing with the ball.
I like!

Ok so whats the deal about boys and their boxers?
Why must they pull their boxers so high / pants so low!
Look at this darentan!
Hello like half of his boxers is showing lah!
I dont get it!
Nvm.
But at least wear decent boxers.
Not spongebob or whatnot.
Like what one of them(joakimgomez) had on.
You know you can easily tell the BOYS from the MEN.

He's 'the bachelor most likely to make you go speechless'.
We couldnt figure out what that was supposed to be.

And HIM!!!
'Most likely to dazzle your screen'
Oh yes! Absolutely.
Love that megawatt smile.
Lucky him got a fly entertainment contract!
The new tv eyecandy in the making.
Hweeet wheeet!

I think the tattoo on the skin head is pretty cool.
Very 'paikia' also!

The men did their fashion thang.Pretty boring.
Bascially the entire program was pretty zzZ.
They sang songs like 'are you gonna be my girl'?
And its was kinda funny cos the girls were screaming NO! HAHA
The guys were throwing the most cheesy and tacky pick up lines you can think of.
There were lines like 'if you wanna get hot and sweaty. you know who to look for?'
There's also the classic one 'I forgot my keys tonight.anybody wants to bring me home?'
ZOMG.
Listening to 50 of those was simply yawns.
We ladies want VARIETY!

The boys redeemed themselves with this item!
We really liked it!
The striptease! Nothing sleazy lah.
It was cutely presented.
Cheeky.Enough to get the girls screaming.

Never mind the fact that he went went on and on to sing like it was his own concert.
Can even excuse the fact that he even did an ENCORE.
But him clinching the title! darentanshiwei the MR EB. -__-
That was totally unacceptable.
Kelong can!!!
Why are we even surprised right?
Cos they go by votes.
This whole thing was like a 'meet the fans session' for him lah!
I mean in the first place why even have celebs in the list?
Oh well well.

This is the only picture of ourselves.
TT hasnt uploaded the rest.
She's one of the new friends =)

Joined YY and his buncha funny mates for drinks at centric after the party.
I didnt know its like gay!
On the outside guys were sitting around drinking.
They looked normal.
I didnt notice the absence of women in the house.
But in the bar.
Major gay action going on!
My gosh.
I was pretty freaked out.
Cos all of them were coupled up.
Making out big time!
Popped over to Play.
It was their anniversary party or smth?
Well the guys were not cute.
So we left for supper.
We havent talked proper in a while.
Really nice catching up with that boy that night.
5-ish by the time I hit the bed.
I havent stayed out that late in a while.

I thought I could spend the weekend catching up on work before the revision workshops starts.
Of course that didnt happen.
I usually hibernate at home on the weekends.
But recently I've seen myself hanging out more and agreeing to spontaneous meet ups.
And the guilt sets in.
This is really not the best time for parties and such.
Drats.

But well gotta admit they were good times spent :)

2008-03-11T17:58:00.001+08:00

I was tidying my notes when I saw this.

I thought this is kinda funny.
Quite cute arh.
I didnt know my lecturer had this side of humour to him.
When I looked at the amount of notes he prepared for us.
I think he really has put in ALOT of effort.
Now I feel abit guilty for talking nonstop and dozing off and doodling and taking toilet breaks during his class.

Ok I should really get down to drawing my decision tress network analysis and linear programming.
I must ace this subject!

2008-03-09T18:08:00.002+08:00

INCUBUS concert @ Fort Canning on 7th March!

As a matter of fact.
I'm so not a fan.
I know they exist but I know zilch about their songs.
The idea of an outdoor concert was just somewhat enticing.
Whats more foc leh.
And so the auntie side of me creeps out again.HA.

Ray said I could bring 2 others along!
Awesome.
I actually invited miss leong and mr german.
Peiyee got psyched up when she learnt about this.
And knowing how much she loves this kinda gig.
I offered the tickets to her and annnnn instead.
So after a study session we headed to the party for a little treat!

Thanks mr raymondtankokhiong! for always inviting me to concerts movies parties and whatnot! You're dee best!

I have no idea why I kept associating this to a party.
I guess I must be thinking it to be "Party in the Park"!
Turned out it really was like PIP sg version!

$500 worth. Raymond said some people who were hanging outside to listen to the band wanted to buy the tickets. I was thinking siao!
But it JUST dawned on me that we could have sold the tickets and kept the $$$! why didnt we! WOLS.

The crowd was crazy.
Majority boysss and angmohs.ok so they are angmoh boys.Like 90%?
Think eminem sort.
Tops stripped off.flashing their tattoos.boxers hanging above their waistbands!
Typical.
I mean who do we expect listen to incubus.
These badboys got us 3 girls gushing nonstop thou.
Trying to snap shots of their naked bodies all the time! HAHAHA.
The people there drink sooo much beer.
Its as if it was oktoberfest.
And they littered blatantly.
Drink and dump! Like nobody's business.
And when they get HIGH.
They splash beer at the unsuspecting crowd.
Just throw the whole damn cup towards the people in front.

And notice people at these rock concerts do not use LIGHTSTICKS!
HAHA.
They use lighters instead!
So funny!

4 of us were jumping and nodding our heads in synchronised rythm as like the rest.
Completely trying to immerse in the ROCK feel.
Keeping ourselves entertained and having a HIGH all the time.
Whats more with the people around us.
Dividing all our attention.
They were so fun to watch.

Presenting to you...

The Camper Girls.

The very INTO THE ACT hard core fan!

The scandalous love triangle who literally stole the limelight of Incubus.

It was very kaypo of us. Yes. But that was live drama!
So distracting I tell you.
We just kept our eyes glued.
Slutty was hand in hand with Emo Boy.
After 2 songs she was gyrating agaisnt Sucker Friend.
Then Emo Boy decided he couldnt tahan it no more. He grabbed Slutty by the booby! HAHA. And we guessed they were off for a quickie!
Slutty was back with a buay song face and back in the arms of Sucker Friend. Sucker Friend even HI-5 with his other mates!
Who were also watching on the drama alongside us complete with beer.
What a sucker!

Popped over to Timbre after the gig.
And who did we see?!
Emo boy and gang! Gasp!
Of course the drama continues.

We tried to dedicate a song to ann's cute teacher (whom she didnt even rem which phase of her sch years he belonged to)! really leh. must knock her head!
Well the plan didnt fall through.
So being the 'garung' ann.
She went up to that teacher instead! steady man!

The one proper pic we managed for the night! =)))

Yeah outdoor concerts are so much fun!
The last outdoor concert I went was Zpop at the padang.
I think it was raymond who brought me also!
Definitely looking forward to more of such.
And now I know just the perfect company to bring along! =)

2008-02-29T13:34:00.005+08:00

Decided to get down to some updates.
Hmm.
Its been 2months.

Jan & Feb have been pretty eventful.
Esp so in the latter.
Considering the fact that I've attended like 3 weddings.
Attended like a handful of bday parties.
And met up with many many people!
Esp those aussie peeps.
Let me trace back the calendar of events.

January:

Attended Joseph's wedding.
The solemnization ceremony.
Jas and I decided to pass the dinner which was held at the inter-continental.
Prince Pauper told me EVERYONE was there.
It would have been nice to catch up with those singex folks.
Uh well.

Met up with debra daisy peiyee to celebrate deb's bday!
These girls whom we seldom speak with or hardly see each other even in sch.
But yet we've celebrated quite a few of their bdays tog.
Oddly funny.
But they're really nice to talk to =)

There was also Jas' home party just in the name of fun.
She whipped up a feast.
And had her friends and boyfriend's mates over to eat and have games.
That girl is steady lah.
The impressive list included items like tofu dumplings, meat balls, chicken steak, pasta, salad along with dressing like mango mayo and whatnot.
She did not just buy the meatballs and fry them.
They were minced and marinated and rolled into round things all by her!
As with those tofu dumplings.
Damn power!
So sweeeeet of her ain't it.
All that effort just to have everyone over for some good time on a saturday.

February:

Where we dress pretty and stuff ourselves silly with all the festive food.Literally.
My cousins kept going like "omg pam stop eating. you've been eating nonstop!"
I didnt't realise eyes were watching!
I was already trying my best to be discreet when i went round pinching the tidbits.
Seemed it didnt work!
CNY was nothing short of LOADSA good food and gambling and undoubtedly family bonding.

I concluded my favourite new year treats are yusheng!!! nian gao! loveletter! and kueh bangkit!

after a heavy dinner i PLONKED on jeanette's laps!!!

dont they look like brothers?

where's joanne???

the soon sisters

"gu-gong's" grandchildren. the very bright and hamsum boy and the sleepy eye boy. (thats what we call them) they love to hug each other.

jojo very happy with her sleepy eye boy!

mommy!

the naughty boys

the girls at our fav photo spot for the cny photo!

21st Feb:

This year was extra special.
On 'yuan xiao' (15th day of CNY), my grandparents had a ceremony to renew their wedding vows.
In conjunction with their golden wedding anniversary!
Double happiness!
That day happened to be the 'dong fang qing ren jie' (asian vday).
How apt.
My aunt was the one who called in to the radio station to sign them up for the event!
She was even interviewed in the papers for that lah! HAHA.
My grandparents had a series of wedding pics taken at the studio.
They must have felt so blissful to be putting on the wedding gown and march down the aisle once again with their children and grandchildren cheering them on!
Makes you wanna scream 'so xing fu' =)

the auspicious and traditional looking invite

one of the photos from their album.looks really loving huh.

the many bridegrooms waiting for their brides before the tian hock keng temple

WAI GONG!
my grandma picked the white suit for him wanting him to be different from the others. indeed!

WAI PO! in her gown with 'butterfly' wings. =)

her bridal sedan. in this case its a trishaw! HAHA.

this is whats 'ren shan ren hai'

looking really xing fu as they marched down the aisle. we were all cheering so loudly!

looking jittery on the stage. waiting to exchange their vows.

couple of the night!

all of us!

the kids with ah gong ah ma!

the cheeky bros and sisters!

the boyfriend!

ah gong ah ma with their children

their new wedding certificate

everybody say cheeeese!

Waipo looks really lovely that night! weeee weeeet!

Vday was spent having lectures in school.
That was a really good alternative since we were dateless anyway.
3 of us decided to head to town for some comfort food.pun totally intended.
We counted sooo many couples.
Like where did they come out from?
Seriously it was abit overwhelming.
Couples after couples.
Everywhere, the queues were in 2 single files.
So much so that you'll probably feel out of place if you joined in the queue.
I remembered laughing alot during the dinner.
Doesnt help since our table was smacked in the middle of the restaurant.
The couples around us kept throwing the dirty glances.
All thanks to shenlyn.
The things she says and does.
SO funny i tell you.
One very interesting character really.

Caught up with the vases also.
Its been so long really.
All thanks to Hanis who came back from Aussie.
So we kinda had the reason to get the group together.

For now, its march!
I guess the the festive party mood has more or less subsided.
Time to settle down and hit the books.
Really gotta give it my best give it my all!
Yes and I so mean it.

What career will suit your personality?

You would be very happy in a career that utilised your people skills. You want a career that allows you to stimulate your senses and your mind. Some careers that would be perfect for you are:

* Actor

* Recruitment Consultant

* Politician

* Marketing

* Psychologist

* Religious Minister

* Teacher

* Social Worker

* Human Resources Manager

* Sales

* Lawyer

* Advertising

You are a great leader. You genuinely enjoy being around other people. Your relationships with others are very important to you. You love talking and meeting new people. You are very enthusiastic about work and about all that you do and have in your life. You love being the focus of attention. You enjoy a fast pace. You are very socially oriented. Therefore, you are much happier being with others than you are alone. You crave interaction with others.

You are very spontaneous and often act before you think. You are always quick to answer when you are asked a question, even if you aren't sure of the answer. It is easier for you to improvise as you go along. You enjoy thinking out loud, and are most creative when brainstorming with friends or colleagues. You enjoy being involved in many activities.

You are very easy to read, and often wear your heart on your sleeve. You are never afraid to tell people what you think. You are very empathetic and genuine. You can sometimes be seen as over-emotional or too involved by others. But that is only because you tend to get so involved in the things you do that they become personal.

You want to be adored, loved and appreciated. You like to please others and to make sure people are happy.

You trust what is certain. You only like new ideas if they can be practically applied to the situation. You value what is real. You use your common sense. You like to utilise the skills you have instead of learning new ones. You are very specific and detailed when writing or talking to others. You follow directions well. You like things to be laid out for you to do instead of working them out for yourself. You like decisions to be made. You don't like leaving things in limbo. You like to know what you are getting into before you commit to something.

You like to focus on the here and now. You enjoy completing projects. It is important for you to achieve and succeed. Therefore, you believe in working hard and playing later. You like to set goals and work towards them.

I personally think this is pretty accurate.
The list of careers are ALL that I've considered or dream of becoming 'cept (politician & religious minister & maybe social worker).
But I do wanna do volunteer work if I can.

Try it!

PS: Ann! Look! Our profile is 80% similar! I just knew it. Hi-5!

2008-01-05T02:38:00.000+08:00

Woah its 2008!

I remember the times when I would still bother to go for those big ass countdown parties out in the streets.
Spraying foam and getting high while crossing the roads!
But now I just feel way over-aged for those.

All I did was a good dinner with my cousins and stayed in to watch those countdown shows on tv.
We were surfing between the sg's lousy vivocity show and taiwan's mega outdoor show!
Pretty much what we did last year.
When we countdown to 2008.
Got to our feet and started dancing and singing to auld lang syne.
Oh and our juvenile act of screaming 'Happy New Year' out of the window!
Quite high arh.

Now to talk those resolutions again.
Those that we make every other year but never seem to materialise.
I guess some things are better left unspoken.
I shall secretly try to keep up to those resolutions of mine.

2007 hasnt been that fantastic.
Really wasnt that great at all.
All the bad things shall be left to yesteryear.

2008 has to be better.
It can only get better =)

Yeah 2008 HUATHUATHUAT arh!!!

2007-12-30T23:42:00.000+08:00

The festive season is here again!
Time to make merry and pig out!
There were 3 parties this year!

18th:

The 'High School Musical' themed party at sharon's new place.
I thought everyone was gonna go all HIGH SCHOOL.
But turned out only like 3 of us really dressed to the theme can.
I somemore was quite kan cheong about the costume part.
Like I thought there will be some forfeit if you dont dress up!
I actually managed to find this skirt I had in pri sch.
It was so tight can I had to wear high high up my waist.
My grp won the games! Whee.
We got like manymany packs of super rings and twisties! WAHAHA.

check out the pretty chandelier! very victorian.

the 3 high school kids!

24th:

On Xmas eve, had the usual home party at 245.
Major pigging out.
I was one of the earliest.
So attacked the sausages and ham before the buffet was ready and before everyone else came!
I think I easily like gobbled about 1/4 of the chunk of big fat ham.
I just kept poking on the ham as my uncle sliced them.
NON STOP.
I LOVE HAM.HONEY BAKED ones.
Ok whatever right.

Stuffing ourselves silly with rounds and rounds of the food.
Actually maybe it was only me and julia? HA.
The comes cam-whoring.
Meddled with the colours function.
So we were spotting different hair colours! Ha. Cheap thrill.
Was a tad quiet cos we were missing quite a few of them.
The SOON brothers were not there and we were waiting for kexin and family to fly back from taiwan to join us.
I think its like that.
The boys are in their teenage now.
Where they start to hang out with friends more rather than show up at family parties.
And us who are already in our early adulthood are actually getting more pro active.
I was helping to arrange the presents under the tree and jas was playing santa distributing the presents!
I even suggested playing fire sparklers!
Of cos nobody bothered about me.
They were showing the -__- looks on their faces.

honey baked ham! and sausages! yumms.

the new TALL tree! taller than me!

our presentsss!

juicy likes it pink!

I like it blonde!

jas looks really happy giving out the presents!

jo on the high

still very much the harry potter look alike!

goofing around

the girlsss (minus yizhen and kexin)

trying to act the young ones!

the senior LIMS sneaking a kiss from junior LIM. cute.

guess whose sexy legs!

we heart xmas!!!

26th:

We had the post xmas dinner over at shai's on boxing day.
Had a pleasant surprise when I saw Dennis there.
He was our sec 1 & 2 monitor, our old father william, our chicken.
I was reminded of those good old days.
He's still the same Dennis we knew.
Sweet =)
Most of us voted to do away with the exchange of gifts.
But chuan yang was sweeet to bring us presents from aussie.
It was like a lucky dip kinda thing and we were supposed to 'snatch/bid' for the gifts.
He said he kept the best for me!
And indeed.
I was 'pleasantly appalled' when I first saw what it was.
Thanks CY! for giving me my 1st adult toy.
And I realised the thingy was gone when I got home.
I was so kan cheong I actually went downstairs to check if it was there at 3am in my PJS!!!
Maybe I secretly do like IT afterall.
HAHAHA.

weihao was plucking the turkey with his BARE hands.

but dennis loves him anyhow! woot!

i dont remember what we were laughing at.

tah glam sia!

check out her hat! i was totally amazed. it has blinking light!

the very self-high giver!

eliza did a gd job acting enthu!

totally trying to pretend I had nothing to do with IT!

I was coerced into using it! so wrong!

cheers to many more xmases tog!

Xmas, the time to give and share.
Be it presents or simply showering your closed ones with love and joy.
Its defintiely one of my favourite occasion.
Never fails to bring a warm fuzzy feeling.
Immersed in a state of euphoria.

Be in peace dear friend

2007-11-28T23:57:00.000+08:00

"Pam, Jeremy is one of the missing dragonboaters. His body has been found already."

For a while, my mind couldn't register any thoughts.
Who? What?
It sounded like a very bad prank.
I cooled down and checked with my aunt.
Indeed there was an accident.
I rang up 'en.

"What happened?"

"Exactly what I've sms-ed you."

"We lost a friend."

I was in utter disbelief.
I flipped the papers and saw his face.
I couldn't control the tears I held back anymore.

How is this possible.
I just met him at lecture last wed.
Just 2 days before the mishap.
The images so vivid, they kept re-running in my mind.
He was still joking and teasing.
He waved "hi" the many times we past each other, along with that captivating smile.
That smile of his that warms the heart.
I never would have imagined that he was also waving his 'last goodbye'.

If only I had initiated more conversations during that car ride.
If only we had joked more over the lunch.
If only we had discussed more about CF during the lecture.
If only we had a dance that night at Zouk.
If only I hadn't frown and stoned so much whenever I saw you.
If only...you hadn't left us so soon.

It still seems so surreal.
Its so hard to imagine you're lying in there.
Like how?
Uncle told us he warned you about the waters.
He turned to look at where you lay and said "No choice.What to do? He didn't manage to get pass this."
The vulnerability of life.
Won't you wince at the thought of it.

"To the one whom I secretly thought was cute.
I'm glad our paths met, albeit a short one.
Despite those brief exchanges, your sincerity towards a friend was deeply felt.
I'm blessed to have received it.
Thank you Zixiang.
As we lament over the painful parting.
Your smile that touches our hearts will be fondly remembered of.
We'll keep you close as always.
It won't even seem you've gone.
May you find your peace dear one."

2007-11-24T09:32:00.000+08:00

It was easily one of the best saturdays I've spent in a while.
Had a ktv session with the family.
It was a surprise wedding anniversary celebration for my second uncle.
Cos his wife let in that he's been hooked to singing recently.
So we decided ktv would be good!

Along with my grandma aunts uncles and cousins.
15 of us.
We had our fair share of the contemporary pop and the oldies.
The stalls all look the same and they're numbered 1-9.
Selling the same stuff.
Oh and they offer something new!
DUCK SATAY! anyone tried before?

I gotta share a bimbo moment.
The satay man came to ask what we wanted.
So my aunt asked us "chicken? mutton?"
And I said I want "Pork".
So my very puzzled aunt looked at me and then double checked "no pork right?"
Oh yeswhat was I thinking.
Obviously they do not serve.
Its a Malay stall.
Like OMG.
This is machiam like the curry house BABI joke!
Of course I wasnt spared from being ridiculed at again!

After dinner all of us went back to my uncle's for a 'bonding session'.
The usual.
Wanted to do mahjong but we were totally tired.
So watched some soccer(yeah liverpool won!)
While the adults were giving a prep talk to my boy cousins abt BGRs and such.
How interesting.
We the elder girls got to hear all about our lil brothers' love stories with their various girlfriends.
And the boys reckon its time we OLD GIRLS get ourselves a boyfriend soon.
HAHA.

Speaking of which I was getting all emo last night.
Stayed up to read and backtracked on my past entries.
And made an alarming realisation.
Well I was also msn-ing with ann and this someone.
This someone whom I have very confused feelings over.
But I guess the air is cleared.
I'm pretty sure where to take it from here now.

The past entries and convo with friends enlightened me a great deal.
Wan'er is one friend who has never failed to enlighten me when it comes to affairs of such.
I've always managed to feel more liberated and have a clearer sense of direction after chatting with her.
Even if there was a big lapse from the prev time we chat.
She's gonna be back on thurs!
Whee!

PS: Do not attempt late night antics like "googling" for your kindergarten sweetheart. Ann did!
Much to her dismay, it absolutely dashed her hopes and the beautiful image she had of him!

I decided that I shall just let the picture of my chubby-&-fair-boy-who-takes-trishaw-with-me remain as it is.
Lest anything goes awry.

2007-11-17T17:22:00.000+08:00

City Venture (9-10 Nov)

My school's version of amazing race.
Just minutes into the race and I've already started lamenting on how I got myself into this act.
I so felt like pulling out and just head home.

Like when was the last thing I did such VIGOROUS physically demanding activity.
I seriously thought we could have do with some warm up.
All geared in my tortoise shell and not so comfy sneakers.
I really regretted bringing all the nonsense.
SO HEAVY can!
I actually packed like AROMATHERAPY OIL PILLOW and whatnot in my backpack!
I must be mad.

We were scrambling like mad animals on the roads from bus stops to stations.
#@Q*#*#@!#!
WAH PIANGS.
And it doesnt help when we have a hardcore group leader who pias like he's all set to clinch the top position.
There is no STOPPING.
They run up the stairs instead of using the escalators!!!!!
I wanna cry!
As much as I don't wanna run I still gotta drag my feet.
Cos it really feels like sheet to be the ones bringing the group down.

I think ann and I felt it STRONGLY.
But our guys are really accomodating and nice.
They never once complained or pulled any faces.
Not sure if they're secretly cursing us thou.
HEH.
And they'll try to slow down or wait up ahead for us.
THUMBS UP for the 3 musketeers!

We prevailed thru perserverance and eventually EMERGED 16th position out of 20 teams!!!
WAHAHAH. What a consolation.
And our team leader says "not too bad lah"!
He even thanked Bell and I.
Like what have we contributed?!?
It just made us felt even more guilty.
Anyhow 3 cheers for TEAM SUNSHINE!

looking all radiant & cheery before the start of the race! we love the KALIPOKs!

the 3 powerful musketeers!

tomas stuffing the food at the pit stop

cedric happy to enjoy his cheng teng

our grp leader edmund! competing with the other team.

look at what ANN and I were doing? what we do best --- cam whoring! (when the guys were sloggin it out)

clue to our final pit stop for the food theme: China Square Don's Pie

yea so I did contribute ABIT.

the guys having to EAT again!

the shopping theme. ann and i were desperately looking for this freaking "XIAO SHUO CHU ZU" shop in far east. we went round & round level 5.the guys called and asked what we were doing at level 5! cos the game masters clearly said "shops are to be found at level 2/3"!!!oh YAH HOR! crappp. we ran down to level 3 and was asking the shopowner where this shop is.
not knowing that we were already at the RIGHT SHOP! OMG. seriously.

the sleepover point: JJC. my macs dinner at 12am. I was all flushed after the crazy evening.

we are happy after a good bath! we had the towels draped over our shoulders the entire night because...! HAHA.

the guys having their puff time.

our 1st station early in the morning! stadium!

WHEE. we breezed thru the 1st challenge! its a gd start!

the sports theme were all in the EAST! yea our turf where we reign! feels gd to be on familiar grounds!

the pit stop at kembangan.

finally the first decent meal since the night before.
but this stupid fly totally killed my appetite!

this is how our 'passport' looks like.our final theme "fear factor"!

we had to bury our hands in the box full of these! ann and i were screaming non stop initially. but after a min into it, we got over the fear and started to pick up the worms and throw at our game masters namely Mr Jerome!

we had to make edmund Mr Santa out of the scraps. this was at the taka forum.

we hadda get kisses from passers by of different races. Ann got a cutee indian boy!

and this cute angmoh! lucky girl lah!

edmund and the cute indian boy's mom! (i have no idea why i was so tickled)

I picked the MALAY card.picture was blurred for obvious reasons. HAHA.

our final destination at esplanade. us still attempting to camwhore despite the SHAGGEDness. we really look washed out.

team SUNSHINE!

Though we complained sooo much.
But never regretted going on the race.
Like I felt like a STUDENT all over again :)
Kicking up a ruckus in shopping malls, eating disgusting concoctions of drinks and food, doing embarrassing acts in public and camp in school where we bathe in guys toilets!
When was the last time we pulled off such crazy stunts?
This is probably one of the last few 'students' moments' we get to indulge in.
After this we're all gonna graduate and its HELLO workforce.
No more excuses for adolescent acts.
And whats left are reminiscence of such good ol' fun then.
I don't wanna grow up.
*Sniff*

2007-11-10T01:27:00.000+08:00

PAM read this OMGGGGG someone bitched bout u
That was the subject of an email I received at 2plus am.
I thought my cousin was playing a fool.

When I read the content of that email.
I was like &*#&@(#@(*#.
WTH.
This ungrateful pipsqueak.
Well she's one of my girlfriend's sister ok.
Like she didnt seem the bitchy sort at all lah.
But yet she wrote mean things about me.
Although she did not specify my name or what.
But both my cousin and I agreed that it was ME she was talking about!
Well she did say some nice stuff also.
But thats besides the point!
I so wanna post the entry here ok!
I think everyone will have a good laugh over what she wrote lah.
But I reckon I shall be more magnanimous and just let it pass.
I have no intention of starting a catfight with a juvenile.

Like WHATEVER.
I actually did her a FAVOUR and this is how she returned the favour.
To think she actually pretended to be all nice and chummy around us.
YUCKS.
FAKE-O.
Now it makes me wonder if her sister is also a fako like she is.
I mean well, some things run in the family, isn't it?
ARGH.gross sheet.
Still contemplating if I should talk to my friend about it.
But obviously sisters will side each other right.
So should I just pretend like I didnt know about this.
But each time I speak with my friend, I'm reminded of the SISTER ACT.
Grrr.

Alright pam, chill.
To err is human, to forgive divine.
She's just a kid.
Its all child's play.
FINEFINE.
I just needed to throw this out.
Now it feels good.

On a lighter note.
I'm taking part in my sch's version of amazing race tomm.
Its an overnight affair.
SAT 4pm till SUN 5pm.
My gawd.
No taxis or cars.
Like seriously!
We'd better win!
GO! TEAM SUNSHINE!

Part III: Pam & Ann's day!

Met up with ann and peiyee for dinner.
We planned to go to this spanish resturant but hadda switched plans to eat at Sun with Moon instead.
The food was still good nevertheless.
Thereafter was chilling out at the fav hangout.
Peiyee was forced by us to dedicate a song to us.
She dedicated "you're beautiful".
How apt! WAHAA.
Miss Chia had her hair done that day.
And became really camera shy.
Thus it was major camwhoring for bell and I.

we the bday girls!

py can only eat her rice when the hourglass stops.

my very colourful and appetising salad ramen. yums!

ann's ramen with a cube of butter

we were wearing grey coincidentally with the same neckline!

My fellow libran twin.
Its scary how we share many similar likes.
And how we realised we use the same ringtones!
I'm lovin' this girl anyhow.
Cheers to our new friendship ann-a-bell!

2007-10-15T04:11:00.000+08:00

Part II of my celebration:

Had morning lecture with jia'en.
And I suspect she forgot it was my bday.
Cos she did not wish me happy bday nor did she send me any sms.
Till one point in time when I mentioned I wanna go and wish Ian happy bday (we share the same bday) then I think she suddenly REALISED it was my bday too!
Her expression was a total give away lah!
Anyhow we had lunch together after class.
And I was pleasantly surprised when she bought the cute cake for me.
Was really sweet =)

Miss FOO! and thats my eye candy since yr1 seated next to me. lucky me!

the sweet surprise from jia'en =)

Went to PS with my cousins and aunt in the evening.
Promised to treat all of them to dinner at cartel.
Cos one of my cousins just started to temping there.
Well my nice uncle insisted in paying for it eventually.
So pai seh.
Cos he actually bought me dinner 2 nights in a row.

While waiting for the rest to join us from work and school.
We went to the arcade.
My gawd.
I felt abit awkward there.
But still got down to playing.
Couldnt resist the oh so cute mario game!
I played like 3 times! HAHA.

My xiaoyi bought me a cake, my 3rd cake!
Its Chocolate Overload from gelare's.
100% ice cream. No sponge cake at all.
Its complete indulgence.
The girls got me a pretty watch which I so like.
How did they know I wanted a white watch.

We celebrated my grandpa's birthday on the sat before mid autumn.
Time for good food again.
Stuffed myself silly like always.
You know how you can't stop eating or pinching on abit of food each time you walk past the serving table.
Cos the food keeps getting refilled and you just feel like you need to help and eat abit.
OK maybe its just me who thinks that way.

We bought fire sparklers and manymany lanterns.
Turned out that the older and younger of the kids were interested in 'playing' but the teenagers couldnt be bothered.
Like they're in the evolving phase.
I'm too cool to be playing lanterns with the kids kinda thing.
Yeah we've all been though that.
Anyhow jo and I brought the kids to the central arena at the void deck for their share of fun.

As I was stoning and getting amused at how the kids got so excited over the fire sparklers.
It suddenly dawned on me that fire sparklers are really kinda a waste of money.
They're just some foul smelling air polluting sticks that looked pretty while they last.
I esp hate those with the irritating screeching/whistling sound effect.
And its kinda lame to light one and draw circles in the air with it.
So pointless.
Oh well but the kids still love it.

I remembered eliza taught us how to make the fireworks fountain during sec sch days.
Its really beautiful and very WOAH.
I actually tried it at home and showed my cousins at one of our parties.
I was so shocked cos the fire got pretty big.
And i quickly extinguished it with a pail of water.
And the amount of smoke was CRAZY.
It alomost triggered the fire alarm.
like OMG.

On zhong qiu jie itself.
I joined my lil cousins at the arena to play with lanterns and fire sparklers again.
There were so many kids with their parents.
Its really heartwarming to see that traditional festive occasions like this is not forgotten.
And that these busy working parents still bother to bring their kids there to enjoy the festive mood with everyone else.
It was refreshing to see the area lited with dim lights from the conventional lanterns and random fire sparklers brightening up the area.
How those children get thrilled over lighting up their 'deng longs'.
It must be like a new thrill for them to switch over from their game consoles to these play things.
Kids today really shouldnt be deprived of such good fun.

The cake shared by all us kids for wai gong.

the young ones with ah gong!

Whats zhong qiu jie without these 'zhu zais'! I bought them for my schoolies.

The very happening central arena where so many kids and parents lit their lanterns and fire sparklers.

I decorated the trees with these pretty things!

My cousin and our family's friend. can u guess whos p2 and whos p4?

2007-09-21T02:23:00.000+08:00

Went to the yu hua garden with py and zj!
HOW EXCITING.
PY and I were totally hyped up can.
It was my first time there eversince pre-sch i think.
The garden's pretty big.
Anyhow this year's theme is underwater world.
Actually i loved the disney princesses' theme from prev years.
But this year's displays were still colourful and interesting nonetheless.

Oh and we got to do the old sch wishing tree thingy.
Where we wrote our wishes on this charm like thing and throw it high into the wishing tree.
PY's flew so high up on 1st try.
Mine only manged to stay on the 3rd go.
AND it hit and broke someone's else's charm.
I felt so bad!

The 'hai yang' world!

ba xian guo hai

under the sea!

march of the penguins!

I have no idea why we're bending our heads! cos the seahorses couldnt be seen i think!

We were laughing so hard. trying to make the actions of a 'HUM'!

Peiyee refused to pose with me.mainly cos there were many ppl q-ing to take pic at this spot. so each time someone goes there.everyone's looking! and i attempted to do some funny actions. but abit malu.

I took the risk to walk in to the display area. peiyee kept warning me "high voltage"!

We needed to sit down to rest.

do u see me holding the beaks of the pelican?!?

The tall tall pagoda we attempted to mount. we only managed to the 2nd level and made zj climb all the way up to check out whats there!

The WISHING TREE!

the cute french boys. their mom wanted to take a pic of me! so i took a pic with her boys also! ha.

zj and his turquoise dragon! MACHO. wahaa.

sweeet isnt it? haaaha.

we were supposed to be looking far away like some seekers.but with zj's bad photog skills.we looked like sunwukongs.

risking to get a pic close with the fishes again!

2007-09-16T21:52:00.000+08:00

We went JB ystd!!!
My gawd.
I was totally psyched up!
Me + Peiyee + Tzu Jing.
Its so impromptu lah.
Like few days ago we were saying go jb.
But i thought its just one of those say for fun but nv materialize kinda thing.
Then ystd zijing called and say he'll come and fetch me at 4pm!

Everyone at home kept dissuading me from going lah.
Say dangerous this that.
I was also secretly qt scared of muggers and whatnots.
But decided to go ahead anyway.
And i took a teeshirt that looks very 'giam chai' to wear.
And dress dull so that wont attract any unwanted attention.
HAHA.
Cos this trip was so rushed i didnt even have time to go and draw money.
I basically went penniless.
Peiyee was no better, she had 10 sing dollars.
No ringgit at all!
But zijing said its ok. No need to get money.
We were curious like how much he had.
He said 'i think enough to feed 3 mouths.'
Steady lah! Ha.

We went for seafood.
Ordered like cereal prawns.chillicrayfish.sambal stingray.hotplate tofu.vege.'mantous!'
Very alot for 3 of us.
But we scraped the plates clean.
After dinner we went to the jasco shopping mall.
Its like vivo city lah.
Damn big!
All the big flagship stores there.
But we didnt walk into any shops.
For the rest of the night we stuck to Mr-pocketful-of-ringgit like superglue.
Everytime we wanted to drink or eat we'll just look at him.
Ha. Abit pathetic man.
Even go toilet also gotta get 20cents from him!
We bought tickets to watch 'knocked up'.
I missed it when they showed in sg.
And they're still showing there.
Best thing is tickets only cost 11RM!
And their ktv, its called redbox there!
5RM for students on weekdays! my gawddd.
CHEAPCHEAPCHEAP.
We wanna wear our chungcheng uniform go there and sing.
Cos we saw students there in uniform thats similar to our chungcheng's!

Twas almost 11 when the show ended. and the shops were still opened!
Cool man.
But yeah we had no $ to shop.
So we left.
Went for a car wash.8RM.Cheapcheap.
And zijing got slightly lost.
He drove to a dead end!
The street was all dark.
'Adventure' leh.
Anyways it was an enjoyable and laidback saturday!
Driving in to jb just for seafood and movie is qt shiok.
And its really not THAT rowdy or what.
Just make sure the car doors are locked at all times.
We made sure he locked it everytime we're in the car.
We wanna plan for KL next!!!

M'sia waters!!!

check point.

camwhoring.
nobody wanna take pic with me.thus.

speedo cloud

Last weekend had potluck at my uncle's to celebrate my waipo's bday.
Its been quite long since the last gathering.
But well very nice to get tog again.
My family has always loved good food and company.
Great chance for everyone to cath up with each other admidst the busy schedules.
Oh and I tried ice wine for the first time.
Its.SO.GOOD.
Everybody was asking for more.

dearest waipo. we took many shots cos she keeps saying she isnt smiling nicely. she's not sensitive to camera phones =)

We had a cousins ktv session again during their sept sch break.
I took the day off from work to go ktv with them.
As usual.
Its the 4 of us plus one Mr Soon.
But just as well.
Cos the car can only take so many people.
Us 4 girls took turns to duet with him.
But we didnt get to sing the full 5 hrs lah.
Stupid kbox ppl made us go cos there were people coming.
We should try teo heng the next time.
But the one thing we like abt kbox is their refillable tidbits lah!
I think we easily finished 9 bowls of that.HA!

joselyn!

soonlianghao

They say that this is my signature pose.
Their attempt at mimicking me.
Nette says NO to it!

the very sweet 2nd sis and my minnie shades

jeanette my very pro masseur

Went to meet the sisters at novena for a hair cut after school.
Joselyn's regular hair stlyist was there and so all of us flocked.
I haven had a proper hair cut since sunny migrated.
I was just planning for a trim but the stylist proposed that i cut it short for a change.
And so i did!
It looks like a bowl.
My lil cousin says i look like an apple now!
So yes its an apple bowl.
I'm still trying to get used to the new look.

2007-09-08T03:06:00.000+08:00

Ended my 2months work stint at Bilcare.
Felt a slight tinge of nostalgia on the last day of week.
Thats only normal right.
It happens all the time.
But the place is so near.
I can still drop by as and when I'm free.
Plus I'll still see my fav colleagues at the simei coffeeshops during lunch!

Was really skeptical about the work environment when I went for the interview.
The fellow interviewee told me that its an indian established company.
There and then was when I realised what I was in for.
I had second thoughts.
Esp when my direct boss is also an indian.
In fact all the heads there are indians.
I'm not racist.
But I'm just not used to the idea.
And! I have to be wrapped from head to toe at the dept I was attached to.
Very 'leh chey' ones.

For my 1st month there, I was under the management rep head.
By the way, its a pharmaceutical packaging company I was working at.
Basically my boss is doing like a one-man show.
He does everything.
So I was there to assist him.
He turned out to be a pretty funny and very easy going man behind the intimidating facade.
He gave me ALOT of freedom when it comes to work.
Always telling me to take my time to do the work.
And he even stayed back to finish work that I couldn't complete in time.
Also he's not in his office like 3/4 of the time so I always finish what I have on hand and pop over to the quality assurance lab to help out.
I really love it at the lab.
I learnt so much.
Like doing gsm coating, testing for tensile strength, thermo forming blah.
Ok nobody probably understands what I'm talking about here.
Its very specialised lab work anyway.
So yah I felt so much like some scientist esp so, donned in that CLEAN suit.
But what makes everything so enjoyable is undoubtedly the great colleagues there.
They're very giving people and they shared and taught me alot.
The lab is our cosy shelter where we joke and laugh and gossip and ramble our daily thoughts.
The people there are like my family at work.

At the end of 1month, my boss told me I could go.
Cos I've finished whatever work he has for me.
That totally came as a shock.
I was prepared to work for 2 months and he told to leave?!?
However after discussing with the other heads of depts.
They had me transferred to the supply chain mgt dept when they needed admin support.

The scm dept was totally diff from the lab.
One, I didnt have to wear the clean suits anymore.
Which is a gd and bad thing.
Cos i was alr so used to 'hiding' in the lab coat.
I didnt bother dressing for work.
I just wear tee shirts and jeans everyday.
Suddenly i felt so EXPOSED.
Like i had to pay more attention to my attire.
After the initial few days of awkward silence at the new place.
I very quickly warmed up to the new colleagues there.

Hit it off very well with Charmaine.
Prob cos we're both 1985s! =)
She's the only lady at the dept.
You should know what happens when 2 ladies get tog.
Endless gossips girly talks and fun.
We always combine powers to bully the guys namely our superior.
She's always spraying air refreshener at all those SMELLY guys.
And we'll msn each other thou she just sits less than a metre away and talk abt any juicy secrets that we dont want the guys to hear.
And how we always go for lunch and dabao all the sinful snacks for teatime!
Work became so much fun with a fellow girlie like her.

My superior is also a very easy going chap.
He doesnt give me much work and sometimes i feel totally worthless at work.
Like 3/4 of the time I was msning,shopping or surfing net at work.
Ocassionally turning over to ask if he has anything for me to do.
And he'll always go "hmm...wait a while".
The guys at the scm dept talk so much nonsense.
My gawd. GUYS.
But really kinda funny and entertaining to hear sometimes.

All in all.
The working experience was mostly pleasant.
The unpleasant bit being those saga with the hr dept and some pipsqueaks here and there in the other depts.
During the 2 months there i attended a fellow colleagues wedding and went on the company trip.
Pretty not bad.
And also the kinda work experience at the lab and the scm dept are areas I would have never thought of venturing into.
I gotta say it was indeed fulfilling =)

Thats the clean suit. Alright yes...Laugh people laugh.

Charmaine!

Company's family day trip to Batam.
The colleagues I'm closer to at work didnt turn up eventually.
Was planning to go tanning with charmaine but she overslept =(
And stupid jason backed out last min.
Aishah and Thaubah were with their families.
I'm thankful that sunshine went with me.
At least i had company.
It was so last min.
I booked the ticket for him like the day before.
And we managed to get the same ferry to and fro.

So yeah.
Escapade to Batam.
He was so thrilled like a boy on excursion.
He even recorded a video of us when we were on the coach.
Made me say things like how I was feeling on a trip with him then.
Ha.Funny.

We were playing some team-building games on the beach when it started to pour.
Yah talk about tanning man.
The wind was so strong and the branches were falling off the trees.
Beach umbrellas flying everywhere also.
I thought there was gonna be a tsunami.Ha.
Damn spoilsport lah.
Then we had to do indoor games.
Which was nothing too exciting.
Sunshine was completely drenched cos he was out at the breakwaters.
But he came back soaked and very happy.
He said it felt sooo good cos he hasnt done that in so long.
And he said the getting wet in the rain part was one of the highlights for him on the trip.
My gawd.
He's such a BOY.

There I befriended my HR manager's sons.
They look kinda angmoh. One of them has green eyes.
But he's so young.
What a pity. Ha!
Btw that's the HR manager who reprimanded me for wearing short skirts to work.
She must be thinking what the hell is this girl doing with my sons.
Wahaha.

whee! batam here we come!

he says i look like minnie mouse in those sunnies.

We met up to celebrate shai and chuan yang's bday!
It was the first time we see cy in 11 weeks.
He was away in the states attached to a school.
Babysitting kids.
He did so much during his stint there.
He was telling me he taught them water rafting rock climbing basically all those things we do at outward bound.
How interesting.
Must have been a really great experience for him.
And he bought a marc jacobs for shai! Not fair! Ha.

Anyhow the group had our 1st KTV session at Teo Heng.
That place damn cheap lah.
I was impressed with Mr Goh.
He sings cantonese songs.
My gawd.
All those chn55 drama's themesongs. Nice.
I gotta brush up on my cantonese man.
And cy makes a good duet partner.
Better than lychee li at least.
Wahha.
And shai can sing a few chinese songs.
I never knew that.
Goodgood.
We're so gonna frequent teo heng! Join members! LOL.

BKK (2 Aug-6 Aug)

Shopped till we dropped.
Exactly what we planned our itinery to be.
There were a few unplanned visits thou.
Like we went for the pussypingpong show(gasp!), the calypso cabaret plus the 1 day tour to the various temples the palace and cruise on the chao praya river.

We thought it was only gonna be the 4 of us.(me,jo,aunt rena,mav)

But there were 3 OTHERS at the airport.
They're nice people anyhow.
Lets just say I'm glad I had the company of dear jo.

All that bathing with open doors sharing of private jokes and laughing out loud before we end the nights.
Oh! And she navigates pretty well.
We ventured on our own to chatuchak and pratunam!
Unfolding our big maps everywhere we turn.

Pretty not bad huh.

And our bargaining skills has definitely improved by leaps and bounds!

Wahaa.

Our legs got so tired after rounds of chatuchak we gave up walking and hopped on the tuktuk.

For now, I'll let the pictures do the talking.

Jo's attempt at her artistic shots.

The very cramped seats on board TigerAir.
Hello BKK!

Our 1st dinner/supper

The 10 course american brekkie we love!

Pathumwan Princess. And thats Miss 20-yr-old & Mr 36-yr-old.
The stylo sch uniform VS the super long skirts.

Not so fantastic MBK
SAWASDEEKA Much needed pedi. Dig that!
The hot pot resturant. All the waiters put down whatver they're doing at 6pm and did a dance for the diners. Damn cool.
Somewhat like our paragon.
The cinema
He who must not be named
Cars aplenty. Crazy bkk traffic.
Chatuchak! ah saos are we!

The eating arena with the live band performance. Very nice.

Suan Lum Bazaar rawks.

Check out his air hat!

Mr 'pipipi' aka 'dua kang'

The adults

He's one good looking shy guard. He was literally shaking when we went near him. Completely terrorized by us two.

The KING

Exquisite oriental carvings

The temple in the palace

The palace was too big we had to rent the buggies to tour around.

Little Dumbo

This one's got tuskss

Whee!

One of the princess' residence

The greens & the blue

The head of the buddha is gone

Whats left of the temples

Under the bodhi tree. The body has disappeared over the years.

The only buddha thats left intact. The rest are all without the heads and 1 of their arms gone.

Lunch cruise back to the city

Murky waters of the Chao Praya

Tuk Tuk!

The 4 of us finally.

Till we meet again BKK!

No krispy kremes. Gotta make do with this thus.

My loot

The 'tu changs'

All in all a very fruitful & satisfying trip. I think jojo makes a good travelling partner =) This being our 2nd since the china times. Awaiting more trips to come. Whee!

2007-07-13T01:04:00.001+08:00

4th July

It was independence day!
I got an orange box again =)

Met up with the vases for a chill out at walas.
Not too sure what band was playing that night.
But they sounded pretty good.
After driving round in circles and stumbling on 'ancient grounds'.
We chanced upon this haven along dempsey road.
Quite wulu but damn niceee.
It was like a cosy ranch house.
Very pretty interior settings.
There are also big swings outside.
We sat thru the night and laadeedum to sentimental tunes.
Havent felt so good in a while.

The sweet note from JULIA!

feifei & ah dong!

fireplace. chandelier.

The drinks bar & the ice cream bar

What's left of our Merlion combo!

The cute van parked outside

30th June

Went to the closing ceremony of National Stadium with Shaina!
It was my 1st time watching The Lions play on the field.
Was kinda excited.
Though they played erm. rather badly.
I only knew about lionel lewis' existence in the team.
Now I know there's also Precious and shi jia yi!
These few seem to be the more prominent figures.
The spectators were screaming their names on a more regular basis.HA.
Activities during a match includes the 'kallang wave/roar' and the blowing of horns.
Cheap thrill.
All in all the ceremony was somewhat boring.
We were pretty much stoning for the bulk of the time.
The finale was the fireworks.
Only highlight of the night i guess.

Honestly I do feel a wee bit of nostalgia with the tearing down of the national stadium.
The stadium where my chung cheng days of annual combined sports meet was held.
The stadium where I attended the SYFs to cheer my brother on when he was in the tk band.
The stadium where I was at the NDP with my family all geared in ponchos.
Quite abit of memories there.

Goodbye National Stadium!

Shaina! The pic looks like we're at some stadium in another part of the world.

The fly by of the planes and chopper. so national day!

The teams

The very patriotic australian family

Singapore VS Australian supporters (I secretly wished I was sitting amongst the yellows)

TK band!

The score! 3-0

2007-06-25T02:45:00.000+08:00

19th -22nd June

I was posted to broadcastasia this time round.
Stuck all by myself at hall 7 whereas lynn shus and julia were at the other side!
Well got posted to image video (canadian company) which I happily thought was italian!
Turned out really to be a small booth with just me and the boss!
He's dave rusuell.
When I see him I felt like singing 'for he's a jolly good fellow'.
Oh he really is one!
Most of the time we just sit around and chat about anything we can think of.
Very random topics from his baby to drugs to cars to food.
And I would keep staring at his face and try to imagine him as being quite cute minus off his double chin!
He actually does have a small face and kinda distinct features not mentioning those deep set bluish green eyes.
So I try to make the best out of it by picturing him with all the extra meat gone (since I was gonna face him all day)

Met a few of the people I worked with from previous years.
Like my very charming boss Oscar from the last show!
Oooh.
Omg I'm blushing upon mentioning his name!
Damn happy to meet him there again!
He's still as witty and humourous as ever =)
Not forgetting the too horny and egoistic to function Carlos.
They're both spanish BUT they are worlds apart.

All in all it was a good time working at the show.
I wouldnt even call that work.
I was basically checking out cute guys, lunching with the girls and touring around in the halls!
If only I get easy money like that all the time!

Thats dave!

IMAGE VIDEO 7Q4-05

Went east coast park for a picnic with my cousins aunts uncle and granny 2 sundays ago.
Lovely weather nice settings.
Played in the sand and attempted at some crazy photoshots.
We didnt build sandcastles but did a 'portrait' of a hot babe with big boobs!
Did some cycling and blading.
Speaking of which I haven done so in years.
There was some in line skating competition cum fest going on.
So many pro skaters were there doing all that swerving here and there and intertwined actions amongst the mini cones. Steady man!
It was totally embarrassing to be blading alongside them.
Took out my blades and realise the buckles have all broke due to the long storage =(
I remembered how I used to blade along my corridor in my chung cheng blouse and pe shorts.
Damn ugly.
And how my neighbour always catch me at my unlgam moments while blading to and fro.
Ha.
The day ended with yummy food I like at the lagoon.
Stuffed myself silly with 'tau pok you char kueh' BBQ chicken wings 'orh luak' kang kong cuttlefish coconut juice. Satisfying!

Severely sunburnt! Check out the ugly tan line! It looks like I'm wearing a BEIGE singlet!

The HUGE 'or cheh' after I got hit by the bicycle pedal when I JAM-BRAKED. I can't cycle!!!
The 'or cheh' diffused into a big mass of bruise. PAIN & UGLY. People thought i got burnt by the motorbikes' exhuast.

These are pictures of the RAINBOW i saw after work on some random evening.
Damn excited when i saw it lah.
Abit 'swagu' I know.
But how often do u get to see rainbows!
I think this is probably like the 2nd or 3rd time i see one.
I like rainbows!!! pretty thing!

Can you see it? The contrast isn't that great but its visible! F-O-C-U-S...Do you see it now? Look harder!

2007-06-17T00:11:00.000+08:00

This is where I've been working for the past 2 weeks.
Helped out with my aunts company to cater to the fitting of uniforms for the cooks chef de parties and executive chefs of changi airport.

So many friends were excited when they heard chefs!
Thinking they're like cute and hot or whatsoever fantasies they have of chefs like jamie oliver.
But truth be told these chefs I see are not very much cute at all esp so with their aprons and bubbly shower caps.
Oh the strong food 'aroma' they carry with them was quite a turn off as well.
They're just like the normal aunties uncles we see in food courts albeit in nicer uniforms!
Well I do get a lil thrilled when i meet the dim sum chefs or japanese chefs.
Only cos I was hoping they'll bring me some food from the kitchen! HA!

Working there was a breeze. Like literally.
It was freezing cold in the room.
The only thing we need to do was to key in their orders into the system.
So the rest of the time was spent snacking and shopping at the provision shop next door(for more tidbits) + playing the games in the laptop.
We mastered free cell and spider solitaire within that 2 weeks.
Never tried those games thou they existed for the longest time in our coms.
We're pros at those games now!
No kick man! HA!

This was where I worked

The lobby

My pass and the bibi & baba uniform

The chefs' uniforms

Some chefs who were trying on the uniforms. Look at the shower caps they have on! Totally cute!

That's my cousin (joanne) & aunt

May:

Intensive mugging week for me.
I had to get alot of snacks to keep myself alert and focused.
But I think I ended up staying more focused in munching those tidbits.
Plus Watsons was having promotion for PUCCA.
2 for $1.95.
I think I had like at least 3 rounds of that!
Cannot resist! Cheap and good stuff!
These are some of my favourites bites!

My very messy table. Evidence of HARD WORK.
See that cute smiley badge? (from Mr Sunshine!)

My grandma fractured her ankle.
And had to be put in a cast for a month.
So for the past weeks I had to stay home to take care of her.
Which was also good cos I had to do revision.
This way I couldnt find excuses to get out of the house.

The 1st pic was her pulling off a 'stunt' when my mom needed to mop the floor.
I was so tickled by the scene I hadda take down the picture!
HA.

12th May
Cos of the inconvenience due to grandma's injury.
We celebrated mother's day at my place.
Had potluck dinner.
Loadsa food.
I was so busy eating i didnt take down any pictures that night.
My aunt got flowers for all the moms. (its a tradition)
Thats grandma's and my mom's.

My aunt brought Inski over.
He's so fluffy and cute!
He had a new hair cut at pet safari that day.
Straight cut! ha.
Kinda sloppy actually.
He looks smarter with short fringe.

But I really dont like it when he licks.
There's this thing about tongues that I dont like.
I think I'm sensitive to licks.
Its ewww.

I'm officially done with exams!
HOORAY.
The holidays awaits!!!

2007-05-28T23:43:00.000+08:00

April:

7th April

Attended 1/2 of marketing revision class.
The lecturer haider ali is a gentle + refined + seemingly kind man.
Chief examiner at such a young age.
Does says something about him, doesn't it?
Jia'en was gushing about him the whole time.
Contemplated bringing him some snacks for tea break.

Rushed over to meet the girls for PHANTOM thereafter.
Our seat was pretty lousy
Didnt expect the people to look so tiny .
I mean hello? 95bucks matinee show.
Should have brought the binoculars.
Needless to say i didnt get to see Raoul who is supposedly good looking according to jia'en.
Didnt even know which Christine was singing to us. (there are 2 of them in the cast)
Little was left of what I could remember from the play when I learnt about it in primary school.
Oh my very cute angmoh senior played phantom.
That was about as much as I remembered.Ha.
Plus the fact that I couldn't see the actors properly I actually fell asleep.
Gosh.

19th April

Celebrated daisy's birthday at Miss Clarity's amidst all that revision workshops and studying.
9 of us were there.
Haven got the pics from daisy.
No pics of the guys thus.
Played the 'color game' which was pretty damn exciting.
Got me and peiyee squealing and got some girls at the next table pissed.
And I was made to do my 'dare' which got Mr Ed ANNOYED.
Like huh?!?
(I was supposed to cover his eyes and go 'guess who'!)
Ok fine that was pretty lame.

23rd April

Some random pics I took with my student when we got quite bored during the session.
She's affectionately known as the 'kiaper girl' by some of my friends.
How her nick came about:
She did an assignment for me where she wrote 'use the KIAPER' to get the food.
It took me some time to figure out what that word was then I realised she had meant TONGS.
Like omg funny lah.
I actually shared this 'joke' with the rest.
There are lotsa other jokes from her.
She's quite a cute bubbly girl all in all.
Kinda enjoy her lessons =)

27 April

The rectangular orange box!
DONUTS!!!
All thanks to a FRIEND OF MINE (quotes joanne) who queued 5hrs for this box of rings.
I dont know how come it took him so ridiculously long thou.
The longest time I've heard was only 2hrs or so.
Aiyo.but really nice of him.
Comfort food for my cousins and I in the midst of pia-ing for our exams.
SHIOK.
It was joselyn's bday too!
How timely.

2007-04-14T23:10:00.000+08:00

I've decided that I'll do a monthly update.
Since my com cant log in to stupid blogger.and since its down as well.
Exams are near.
Been damn kan chiong with revision.
Taken aside some time to do a lil update.
Here goes.

March:

This is a totally random pick.
My mom was doing spring cleaning and she washed up all my slippers.
It was then that i realise i have so many of them which i haven worn for a long time.
I just hadda take a pic.So colourful.HA.

Some time ago i was into a dress frenzy.
But dresses are expensive pieces of cloth man!
Which i'm unwilling to part my $ for.
So i can only cam whore in them.
Look at these.
60over dollars for them is ridiculous.

I liked this bubble pumkin like top.Its cute but i doubt i can carry it off.

Attended one of my paternal side cousin's wedding.
She's 20 this year.
It felt so weird seeing her in the gown.
Like she's younger than me but she looked so grown up!
And she's gonna be a mother in a matter of time.
I didnt even know how to congratulate her.
It was pretty awkward.
Oh man.
But pretty touched upon seeing her wedding photos and hearing her make the speech and all.
Weddings are always like that.
Evoking emotions of sort.
Gosh wonder whose turn will it be next!

Jules' and Wei's Birthday:

We went ktv-ing at somerset.
It was supposed to be a cousin's day out as well.
But 4 of them couldnt join us.Boo.
Thereafter we had dinner at vila'ge.
And then we took neoprints!
I love neoprints!!! So fun!!!
Its amazing how so many of us could squeeze in that small space.
The new machines have monkey bars in them. Very cool!

1.That's Joselyn on the mike.
2.Jule's and Jo looking quite good tog.

Our table full of food.

The sisters and the brother.

The birthday babies.Jule's exactly a week older than Wei!

We lurrve bakerzin's chocolate fudge!

The Tans, Soons & Lims.

Jem and his lookalike! (Looks like harry potter also)

Our very colorful and kawaii neo print!

We wanted to chill out at the balcony after neoprints.
BUT some of the kids were UNDERAGE!
LOL.
The waiter had to usher us downstairs to the dining area.
So pai seh.
All in all it was fun!
Next up will be joselyn's 18th birthday!
We're bringing her to her official 'pubbing session'.HEH

Alright time to head back to my books!
All the best to yall for the exams!!!

2007-04-10T20:45:00.000+08:00

3 months past.
Thats like 1/4 of the year.
Which also marked the end of beautiful spring in some parts of the globe.
Ha.Nonsense aside.
Here are some updates.

Basically I've been busy with school,revision,tuition classes.
Had like 6 students in Jan-Mar.
That was the peak.
Then 3 students quit after new year.
So its down to 3.
Phew!

February:
Kicked off with Kairu's birthday dinner at one of the steamboat places along the steamboat chain at liang seah street.
Then we had some hong kong desserts at the nearby eatery.
I like 'tang shui'.
All the almond walnut sesame paste and steam egg custard and YANG ZHI GAN LU.
Damn good.

Oh this is my doctor-to-be boyfriend. Mr LZS. (yeah right)
He agreed to be my boyfriend just so he could eat the yummy dessert i was having. grr!

The bday girl with her 'faux' present from ying and me! ha!

Valentine's Day:

Vday was spent with my G2 girlies.
We had kolo mee at vivo for dinner.
I finally tried the talked about kolo mee.
Its soso only lah.
The noodles is Q and curly.Quite tasty.
We went shopping trying on clothings, cam whoring.
Checked out the new river island which sells heavily overpriced clothes.
Settled for desserts at secret recipe.
A laidback but warm valentine's.Heh.

Some cute presents i prepared.

I like this pic with sueann! its kinda lesbianic sweet. HA

My valentine dates! pretending to be mannequins.

CNY:

Chinese New Year was nothing short of good food good company and fun.
Stuff myself silly with new year goodies from 'chu yi to shi wu'.
Didnt win much from 'ban luck'.
I'm really not so much into the game actually.
Cos i'm very 'niao' with my $.HA.
Angbao income this year was not too bad!

Reunion dinner at some Hakka restaurant.
This is the 1st time we're dining out.
Just so to save all that hassle of cooking and all.
But i think we still prefer the traditional steamboat dinner.

The CNY decor at home.
Thanks to my grandfather. Very festive mood!
Its machiam like 'little chinatown at home'

Some random pics on 'chu yi':

1.The boys' attempt at being camera- friendly.
2.That's Joanne's PUNY face being covered by a just a handphone! (i dont like small-faced girls!)

1.Joanne in one of the boy's jacket pretending like it's winter.
2.Acting like a flasher.

'Chu Er':

1.Brother and mom.My mommy looks 'sandwiched!
2.The girls at our favourite 'backdrop'. (we take pics there every year)

All us kids!

1.Lion dance at yi po's(grandaunt) house
2.The very cute Chloe who was the centre of attraction.

The Chingay floats that paraded past my house.
Very exciting land very nice lah!
My grandmother was waving to them from our house! HA

Those were the highlights for my february.
Pretty fulfilling =)

2007-01-23T18:07:00.000+08:00

Went ktving with the girls after marketing lecture.
I love thursdays!
Its been long since the 4 of us last went makaning and merry-making after lessons.
We were crooning to those songs of favourite boybands from our era!
Behaving like those sec sch groupies all over again.
F4, 5566 and the grasshoppers RULES!!!
WAHHA.

The chung cheng alumni! Jia'en Peiyee Ann-a-Bell!!!

Rushed home to catch PSS.

I like the green bean!

He didnt make it thru to the finals thou.

BOO!

2007-01-15T17:19:00.000+08:00

Happy Happy 21st Birthday dearest JoooAnne!

Went with the girls to get their dajie's present.
After going thru all the stuff that jo hinted.
We finally decided to leave vivocity and look out for things that she's not expecting for.
It was like raining the whole time in town.
My shoes got soaked!
My new pazzion! argh!!!
Finally after going round and round we managed to get everything just before the shops closed.
We were sooo tired and hungry.
We wanted GOOD dinner.all we had was macs at 11 =(

The girlies. nette and jos! oh and my new 'ah-wang' fringe!

We spent the next afternoon making this mega card for joanne.
A collage of all her idols with HER!
Its CUTE!
Uber fun art time with the girls.
We cut so many of 'joanne's heads' and they were dropping and flying everywhere.
We laughed and laughed looking at those faces.
To think we actually spent so much effort on her presentsss!
While she was out enjoying crabs and ktving with her mates.
I guess she was touched upon seeing the surprise.
She'd better be!
I only had vouchers for my bday from them can!
Hmph! Not fair!

BUT I LOVE THEM anyhow =)

2007-01-10T16:34:00.001+08:00

Its been a while.

The past weeks have been busybusyandmorebusy.

Amidst all that tests assignments and whatnots.

I had my fair share of fun with the people who keep me sane and going.

5th Jan:

Celebrated Debra's(new found girlfriend in school!) bday.

Dinner at cartel followed by some partying.

Got free entry to butterfactory.

Cos we were the 1st 200.

Turned out that the club had less than 30 ppl.

Seriously LOL.

So we left.

Oh i forgot to mention i led the way to MS by FOOT.

Then we walked all the way to clarke quay.

We walked so much lost our way so much that we recce all the clubs in that area.

Next time you're lost, holler me!
By the time we got to MOS our legs were so sore from walking we couldnt boogie much.

And so...

The pretty rainbow bridge!!!

10th Jan:

Met up with the vases to celebrate for the last 21st adult and 1st 22nd adult!

Happy birthdays!!!

the 'Diva' versus the 'Didi'

2007-01-07T23:38:00.000+08:00

Happy 2007!

This is a long overdue post.
Haven been able to blog at all cos my com has problem accessing to blogger.
Stupid beta blogger crap.
Am using my bro's new notebook now.
Quite fun.

I spent the new year counting down over at my cousins'.
Had a nice turkish dinner at EASTPOINT.
Then we bought our fav snacks like muah chee tutu kueh back home to munch on whilst watching those countdown shows from all channels.
Constantly switching from taiwan to local channels.
Lotsa self entertainment among ourselves too.
Exchanged hugs when we counted down to 2007!
That was how i received the new year.
I pretty much liked it that way.
Simple and sweet.

Didnt entertain thoughts of hanging out with any friends or heading for any parties.
The thought of all the rowdy crowd outside was quite a turnoff.
It must be the age catching up with me.
Ha! I'm speaking like i'm some old granny.
I think of the times when i jostle among the people on new year's eve and getting all hyped up over shouting 3..2..1!
Those times when i spent the new year hanging out with my mates till dawn breaks.
Then...i was a TEENager.

These days i prefer home parties.
Just like the good ol' xmas parties we always have.
Xmas 06 was no exception.
Comfort food good company with my loved ones.
Thats what i call bliss.

2006 has been pretty good.
Met some great people at my holiday jobs at the communicasia06 as well as frigstad offshore.
My results were satisfactory.
Gotta know really nice friends from the council.
Relationships with some of the closed ones around me have also gotten even better.
Had a fabulous 21st party.

All in all could count of more UPs than the DOWNs.
Really thankful for everything.
Leave all the unhappiness to yesteryear.
The best is yet to come in 2007!
I'm gonna have to make sure i stick to my new year resolutions.
I wish for all things wonderful for everyone in the year ahead!

2006-11-24T00:39:00.000+08:00

Feeling so jaded these days.
Been bogged down by many issues.
I feel emotionally drained.
But i'm good at hiding these emotions.
And i dont feel like i wanna talk to anyone about all these at all.
The escapism as usual.

A few days back i spoke to wan'er on some stuff.
She gave me a fresh perspective on the particular matter.
I actually felt good after the conversation.
Thought i'll heed her advice.
But after contemplating for some time.
I've decided that some things are maybe just not worth the effort huh?
Or perhaps not now.
Besides i've got more crucial stuff to deal with at hand.

Pending assignments tests and whatnots.
I'm like getting very stressed suddenly.
I know they're not gonna be accounted for at all!
I can jolly well not go for the tests or not hand in the essays.
Sit back relax and bask in the yuletide season.
BUT i think i take my school work quite seriously.
And i do take pride in my work.

I've been reflecting quite a bit lately.
And damn, i think i've wasted a gd 3 months.
Whizzing past school.
Not knowing what the OT lecturer is talking about ALL the time.
Yes, constantly in a state of false consciousness.
Thinking, "oh yea i came for lecture thus i actually know whats going on"
Which of course, in reality is the contrary.
My lecturer: "guys if any of you doesnt know what O,S,RC,F,I,etc stands for by now...you're DOOMED!"
Ok thanks. That was much needed.
His comments make me feel so crappy all the time.
And i'll wince and wallow in self-pity.
GRR.
This has become pretty much a routine every wed for the past 1 month or so.
And it gets worse every week as the amount of untouched notes starts piling up.
Grrrrrrrrr.VICIOUS cycle.

So instead of complaining further.
I think i should get something constructive done about it.
Thus heading for my notes.
Gonna hit all that O,S,RC,F,I!

2006-11-18T03:51:00.000+08:00

Recently, my 2 lil cousins introduced this new ice lolly to me!

Its chewy its 'malleable' and highly addictive!

Best part is it isnt creamy or milky...

So you don't feel the least bit sinful indulging in it!

It bends and flaps like your tongue! Dig that!

We're lovin' the HIP HOP JELLY!!!

2006-11-12T00:36:00.000+08:00

Its already the 2nd week into nov.
So fast so furious.
I have like assignments due for all subjects.
But yet i'm not doing anything to it at all.
Still in the sea of procrastination.

The past week has been a blast.
Many late nights out in a row.
Cafe iguana.walas.zouk.boat quay with shaina and the girls.
Nothing short of fun.
But really tiring too.
All these late nights have taken a toil on me.
Thats why i've pretty much been hibernating at home this week.
Plus the weather these few days simply set me into sucha zonked out mode.

Also i've been keeping myself really busy with amore classes.
Kickboxing is shiok!
My instructor's damn full of zest and vigour.
Her swift boxing moves and her "ooohs" and "ahhs" just soso HOT!
My cousin and i love her lessons.
She's sucha an inspiration.
Jazz dancing is really enjoyable too.
I imagined myself to be the female lead of step up for a moment!
Think channing tatum! ooh.
On another note, i cant do pilates for nuts!
I've been trying hard but to no avail.dammit.
I cant sustain the poses and my tail bone always experience extreme pain!
Argh.
How to acquire that lilin's hot bod!

Channelling my energy and focus on these exercises is good stuff.
Puts my mind off some worthless thoughts at least.
Have been rather bothered by some pipsqueak of an issue lately.
Its so unnecessary i tell ya.
But i cant control my emotions! sigh.
So juvenile.

A handful of random friends have been dating me out for movies.
So I've gotten myself 5 movie dates the coming week.
This is good.
Another way to divert my attention from 'that episode'.
Great.
I like it that i'm packed with programmes!

Contemplating if i should go zoukout.
But the idea of paying to dance and squeeze with people on the beach is quite a turn off.
Marc says he'll drive a big lorry there with all our people.
Now thats funny! Ha.
Oh yah i'm going to the phantom of the opera!!!
Its finally here again after sooo long.
Boy am i thrilled!
"Sing my lady...SING!!!"

2006-10-31T22:43:00.000+08:00

Mambo Jumbo (25/10)

Mambo last wed was extremely FUN!
Went with my ex collegues from expo.
All the past & present event planners turned up.
Jas,me and the 6 macho EPs.
Rare ocassion indeed.
These guys sure arent dull jacks!

Jasmine and I planned to leave at latest 1am.
I had sch in the morning and she had work.
But we ended up leaving at 3!
And even joined the guys for supper at 5-star.
See how much we love them? Ha.
BUT i was literally grinning from ear to ear the entire night =)
Some people just have the 'magic' to make me really happy!
No prizes for guessing why!

The only few pics i snapped (cos i didnt know how to function the cam in my phone)

Halloween @ Zouk (28/10)

It was an impromptu decision.
Shai drove to No.1 costume shop in the afternoon.
There and then i decided to just go ahead.
Slapped on thick thick makeup!
The girls went hysterical trying to draw each other as hideously as possible.
I've nv tried coloring my face in that manner.
But it was all FUN!
Shaina was supposed to be Maggie Simpsons.but they did not have the wig in blue.
Thus she became Wilma!
I was the confused fallen angel who thinks she's a devil!
Ruoyun was the arabian princess!

We reached there like super early...started taking nonsense pics.
All the party goers came in like full force costumes!
Some were freaky cute innovative!
There was an ang moh who came wrapped in a towel holding the shower curtain.
Koala bear mascot wearing a steve irwin shirt!
Everyone was cheering when he came.
Check some of them out in the pics below!

2006-09-30T13:43:00.000+08:00

It's high time I update.
So 2 weeks of school have past.

Lessons have been pretty alright.
All the heavy text based subjs are making me kinda groggy thou.
My lecturers this year are pretty good.

Oh my management math lecturer Dr Phil reminds me alot of steve irwin!!
No idea why.
Prob i'm still not over the croco hunter saga.
And also this pale green shirt that Dr Phil wore which resembles the one steve irwin donned!
Dr Phil sure has a warped sense of humor.
'Raise your left eyebrow if you need more time to get down the notes'

Also my IBM lecturer Nageb is one interesting old chap.
Contrary to belief...he isnt that much of a sexist.
In fact he's kinda pro ladies!
Judging from the many daughters and darlings he has newly 'adopted' in class.
He's also the 1st lecturer who thinks that ours is a gd class which actively discusses.
I haven heard that in a loong while.
Thats nice.

Got thru the interview for the student rep council in school.
Yea.both pei yee and I.
Cant believe us 2 slackers actually bothered.
Was supposed to be planning for some carnival.
But the event got called off.
ARGH.
There's gonna be city venture (sorta amzing race) up next.
Will see whats in store for us.

Have been really busy with tuition.
All my students are like having exams this coming week.
Like i'm gonna be teaching everyday.
4 sessions on Monday.Oh help!
Cant wait for the week after.
But by then i'll have to get busy with my party.

Friends, look out for the email from me alright!
I know many of you are busy with exams but I'll really appreciate if any of you offers to help.
Will put up my wishlist soon as well!
Ha.
So look out for this space =)

2006-09-11T21:54:00.000+08:00

School's gonna start tomm.
Woah like finally huh.
So marks the end of my 4 months long break.

My ang moh boss was nice to charge everything to office account.
They bought me really ex chocolates from leonida's.
Guess they're really nice afterall.

Met up with peiyee lynnie for KTV during my one week break.
Met up with jiaen and hanzhong too for dinner at ministry of food!!
The jap food there is good!!
Then we hang out around marina..
Hearing hz speaking of his aspirations and BIG plans was quite inspiring..
Got both of us ding dongs going ooh and aah.
This guy has had 10K set aside in a unit trust for his wedding bands!

Went over to shai's for games night on friday!
Taboo is great fun! wahaha.
And i got a surprise call from mr sunshine!!
That made me really happy =)
Met up with ian and his best friend at fisherman's village last night.
Chilled out over beer and the sea.
Really nice.

Ironic huh.
We had the whole of the holidays to meet up.
But only got to see everyone just the week before sch starts.
Nevertheless it was all peachy and nice.

Brand new start of school..
Hope all's hunky dory!
And i'm so gonna check out all that eye candies and hot freshies ian was telling me about!

2006-08-30T14:48:00.000+08:00

I'm so bored in office that i've decided that i'll do a 'growing UP chart'.
All the way from when i graduated from the mushroom college to today.

I really liked 2005 where i was spotted with the so many different haircuts and haircolor.
There were at least 6 different looks!
It was the year of experimenting..you'll nv know how versatile you hair can be!
Cant decide what i liked best..
But some of my faves are the 'slanting fringe' days..my obsession with straight dolly fringe and also the funky red hair and PINK extension!! Currrls too!
Now i think i quite liked the ah lianish golden hair too..goes well with my tan then!

I really hate my hair now and i cant wait to go to my hairstylist.
But i've not decided what to do to it as yet.
All i know is that i need a change desperately!!!!

Seen how i've inflated from then to now!!!
Dammit!!
All thanks to the depression medication, alcohol? and my uncontrolling appetite!!!
Bad stuff bad stuff!!!
Hate how i look now!! Cant fit into the clothes in my wardrobe anymore!!
And school's starting soon......arghrgahrg!!!!!
I hafta go on a diet!! This is serious business!

On my way to work this morning..
I received an sms from..gasp!
Alfred.
He's one of my ex collegue from expo.
Just a simple msg asking me how i've been.
Short and sweet.
He nv fails to msg and ask abt me once in a while admidst his busy schedule.
Really nice huh.
I'm pretty touched by this small gesture and at the same time,
I'm happy that he cares.
That made my day =)

He was one of my happy memories in singex.
I miss hearing 'good morning pam','hi pam' from him.
Also miss the times when i could happily walk into his cubicle and
Throw my tantrum and grumble and whine incessantly
With him just there to listen, comfort me or make me laugh.
I like how he was always protective against me whenever someone tried to 'take advantage' of the situation.
And also how he'll text me an encouragement msg after a rough day at work.
I know this is totally irrelevant..but he was acsian all the way!
Ha! I like.

The girls thought he liked me then.
But i think its more of a brother doting on a younger sis kinda feeling.
He made me felt very appreciated though i was a mere temp receptionist.
Being the international sales manager, i gotta say he has very high EQ for someone of his status.

I expected things to be fun in this norwegian company that i work in currently.
Like with so many ang mohs and all.
But it didnt turn out anything like what i had expected.
I guess its the nature of the job.
Think offshore oil rig drilling.boring stuff.
And also the ppl here.
Theres too much of an age gap.
Theres only a few whom i could connect with.
One of them being the HR manager.

She's Miss Gan.
Petite lady with distinct oriental features black silkyhair and an impeccable dress sense.
She shared with me alot of her experiences growing up as a young adult.
Her work experiences and how she climbed up the corporate ladder.
Her interesting love life with pilot engineers and office romances with collegues and bosses.
Also how she juggled work and family.
All these and she's only 30.
Inspiring.

Coincidentally my prev HR manager was also very chummy with me.
And i've learnt and acquired quite a fair bit whilst talking with these 2 managers.
They're not the least hesitant about sharing all those information with me.
I guess thats one of the traits of a HR personnel.
It helps alot considering that i'm gonna be taking HR management as one of my electives.
After seeing it for myself and receiving all the 1st hand information,
I wouldnt rule out venturing into the field of HR in my careeer later.
Worth giving it a go!

I don't like to blog..
But once i start i cant stop.
Cos i simply have too many random train of thoughts.
And i just have to jot them all down.
So here goes.

Was friendster voyuering.
Seen pictures of lotsa friends going on holidays together.
Makes me wanna go on a trip with all my mates too!
Have been talking abt the longest time to go Spain with lynn to see our ang mohs.
Australia to see hanis with the vases.
Taiwan with copar gisbus.
Hong Kong and neighbouring countries with my cousins.
I'm gonna save all the $$ to materialise the above!

Also i suddenly feel like i want to be in a relationship.
May be a HIM or possibly a HER.
I saw jane's profile and seeing her picture, it got me thinking of the old times.
I missed her.
Alot of you will probably scream "eww" if you read this.Ha.
But those were memories were plain sweet.
There isnt really a guy whom i can think of in the same manner.
Sad huh.Wahaa.

Some men can get so irritating.
Like I cant stand the sight of some certain men in my company.
Esp that particular one who mentally harrasses me.
Such a put off.
I'm totally grossed out.
For a note, i really dont like guys who sweet talk excessively.
Esp with those cheesy tag lines.
Initally it may sound gd..but too much of it kills.
Guys, try harder pls.
Tell me i'm not too hard to impress.

This is all for now! will be back on more random topics!

I spent the entire day friendster voyeuring in the office today.
Such is the job of the receptionist.
Free & easy.
Looked thru soo many profiles of friends and friends.
Hmm...its intriguing.
How just everyone is connected to everyone else.
And there are so many pretty beings around.
For a while i think i look sooo pale in comparison.

Got me into alot of random thoughts.
I suddenly feel a great sense of void.
Like i'm kinda regretting not making it to any of the 3 unis.
Thus no colorful campus life to speak of.
That being the prime time of life as a student.
Things would have been so much different.
Those are the sorta uni life i've always dreamt of.
Then i think again.
Not everyone in there is having soo much fun either huh?
The ones i see are probably the minority?
Right i'll take that as a consolation.

Sure i can have my share of the so called campus activites in sim too.
That is if i've joined any of their already very pathetic few clubs or asscoiations.
Like i could have been in the SRC.
Had i not screw up my interview.
Just whats wrong with me?
Acting all non chalant with that yaya attitude and whatnot!
I should just slap myself in the face.

Read my earlier entries and you'll see how much i loved and enjoyed school THEN.
All things peachy.
But good times like those dont last.
I soon become jaded.
Losing interest in all things...
And i kinda think it was 'THAT single moment of a foolish act' that has attributed to me feeling this way.
I'm not going back there.

Just wanna start all things afresh when new term begins.
Pei yee and i have agreed to be super friendly and lovely babes!
We shall!
Thats the year 2 resolution.
For a start i should prob start looking up some interesting clubs which i can consider taking part in.
Otherwise I'll start one of my own.
Think pilates yoga and kickboxing!

I thought of doing volunteer work too.
Saw the profile of one of my cchs senior Jacinta.
I remember her to be an incredibly sweet girl and apparently she still is.
It says she's in my sch too..active in lotsa charity work and all.
All her pictures show her with different elderly at various charity events.
I found that very inspiring.
Many a times i wish i was doing more of such instead of partying and shopping the nights away.
I know i can head that way too.if i want to.
Its a choice not a chance.
