Its that time again.

No. Its not the new year. But the time where I'll suddenly feel lost, jaded and miserable.

But before we get to that, I had the time of my life in Australia for 13 days. It was so awesome I wished it never end. It was like a dream come true. Too good to believe. And I'm glad I could share the experience with you.

But now its back to reality. Back to the cold hard fact that I've already completed my degree course and I'm officially unemployed. I may joke about it, but in fact I'm so scared inside. I'm afraid I can't find a job that I like, I'm afraid of the unknown and what the future holds. But yet I must say I'm covering it up pretty nicely.

Apart from that, I'm slapped again with the same issue. _ just chatted with me online today. I thought things were turning for the better but reality hit me and it seems like nothings changed and everything remained the same. I hate it when I'm trying my best but can't do anything about it.

I must learn not to get my hopes up too high and expect things. Its really easy to say, I've been trying my best to do it, but honestly, it's really very hard to.

I don't know how long more I can hold. I want this more than anything else. And I will wait. Patiently. Till the day I can't wait anymore. I dare not think about that day and I pray that that day will never come.

To make things worse, I haven't been feeling my best since the day I came back from Aust. My body's in a mess and I hate to go through it alone. I want to confide in someone and just cry my eyes out.

I need you more than anything else right now. But I need to learn how to be independent. I cannot get used to relying on people for one day I might just be left alone.

Its a good thing I don't have school or work to add on to my emotional load. Or maybe it's because I'm too free that's why my brain has space for such stuff. But in one way or another, no matter how busy I am, this would still be in the back of my head and it'll never go away.

2009-12-01T23:45:00.002+08:00

why do I get "This web site at ki-me.blogspot.com has been reported as an attack site and has been blocked based on your security preferences" when I view my blog? hahaha.

MY FINAL EXAMS FOR UNI ARE IN LESS THAN 2 WEEKS. It's the last lap. Finally.

Can't wait for it to end. But at the same time, I'm gonna be aimless again.

This might just be the last exams I'm gonna sit for. My last chance to say that I'm a "student".

I don't wanna grow up :(

2009-09-05T12:48:00.000+08:00

I'll have a higher threshold of pain. Or I'll just keep mum.

It hurts when you say its not special anymore.

I was afraid this day would come.

2009-09-03T17:15:00.003+08:00

Life's been good so far. Cleared another round of exams and school's gonna start next week.
It's the last semester already. Finally.

I'm happy. But there'll always be that question at the back of my head. I've learnt how to ignore it but it'll still pop up from time to time.

Why can't things be simple.

2009-06-29T09:30:00.002+08:00

It's been ages since I came here and I'm pretty sure no one reads this anymore and thats a good thing.

Life's been good so far but that one problem that has been going on for years is getting worse.

Its obvious that no one wants him here anymore.
Its obvious that he doesnt want to be here either.
There's no respect anymore.

Right now, I just wish that he would die suddenly from a heart attack or something.
I'm not heartless. But I'm sure thats the best solution because of the circumstances.

As far as I'm concerned, I don't have a father.

And I'll stick to what I said. "don't come crawling back after you've lost everything there because you know I'll just laugh at you and I wouldn't lift a finger to help you."

Because you chose this path. You chose to give up everything. You abandoned us. You make our lives miserable. You make us not want to talk to you. You make us not respect you.

Just go away.

2009-04-20T21:05:00.001+08:00

Bliss is when you find something placed on your doorstep by that special someone (:

2009-03-12T23:21:00.002+08:00

Someone please teach me how to control my temper.
It's going out of hand these few days.

Besides that. I've started working at my aunt's place and they pay's pretty good! Such an easy job somemore. Hopefully I can work for as long as possible!

SM short report is finally over and done with.
Stupid ST was supposed to be done and over with today BUT changes were to be made so.. yeah. It will be officially done by tmr 2359!

And and. Here's the good part.

I'm going to Kukup for holiday! (yes in the midst of school)

3D2N. Leaving this Sat (:

It's about time to get out of Singapore for some R&R.

But I've to come back and study for a law test on Thurs.

Sigh. School. Hate it. Can't wait to get it over and done with.

I just realized my holiday after the exams are only 2 weeks. Yes, TWO BLOODY WEEKS ONLY.

Slog so hard for 3 months (or is it 2) and all we get is 2 weeks. NOT enough time to rest man.

Anws, I need to remember this. I got freaking 7 HUGE RED mosquito bites on my legs! Like wth right. And I got bitten AT HOME. I was like sitting with my laptop editing the report and the mosqito happily fed on my blood for the hrs I sat there. But I killed it at the end of the day. BUT still, it left my legs itchy and patchy! Now I can't wear shorts or dresses. UGHHHHH.

And on a random note, I miss working at Z. Seriously I do. But if you ask me if I wanna start work again, I can honestly tell you I don't know.

2009-02-22T22:23:00.002+08:00

I'm sick and tired of everything.

There's a common question my close friends would ask almost every time we meet.

And honestly, I wish I had an answer to it but unfortunately, I really don't.

7 more weeks of school to exams before I clear another term. Can't wait.

I took up a job too! Call me crazy but I think I need to keep myself busy.

I didn't specially seek for one, it just came knocking on my door.

So hopefully everything turns out well and I don't die from over exhaustion.

And and, I finally got my LG KF510! =D it's so pretty I love it!

I wanna find the sock thingy so that I don't scratch my new love BUT it's like impossible to find!

It's those kinda things where when you don't want it, its's everywhere but when you're looking for it it's nowhere to be found!

2009-02-17T15:21:00.002+08:00

I don't know how I managed to do it, but my ST essay is finally done! =D

Life has been rather mundane. My best friend left for Aussie a few days ago and I have this urge to keep myself busy so my mind cant wander (no, these 2 things does not link).

But seriously, I just can't get my lazy ass to find stuff to be busy about. Rather, I'd let my mind churn constant thoughts which I know would be bad for me.

Just let me be, so I can wallow in self-pity.

I guess I'm just too accustomed to __ thats why I cant bare do anything about it.

2009-01-27T11:36:00.000+08:00

It's been so long since I've last cried myself to sleep.

2009-01-21T19:14:00.002+08:00

I swear this blog is covered in a thick layer of dust.

Anws, I just came back from BINTAN! (:

Went there with Nadia and Germaine <3 <3

Took many many photos and I've managed to upload them on facebook already!

School has also started but I think I'm only going to go for classes after CNY week because I refuse to step out of the house with my chao tar face :/

And I've gotta find a day to head down to the polyclinic for my blood test results.

AND. I think my new year resolution is to "talk about it" (which means I have the whole of 2009 to get that done).

Cross my fingers and pray hard I'll get this issue done.

2009-01-07T18:32:00.002+08:00

Stupid school website.
Took me a good 5mins to search for the page that displayed my exam results.

But all's well and I managed to survive to move on to the next trimester of school!
1 down, 3 more to go before graduation! =D

Gotta go for blood test tmr.
The last time I did a blood test was the first day in Shanghai. Oh, the horror.

2009-01-06T23:48:00.000+08:00

Honestly, I dont want to expect anything out of this.
I don't wanna be disappointed.

Maybe I should stop trying and just give up.

I think I'm just PMS-ing.

2008-12-31T20:15:00.001+08:00

2008's A GOOD YEAR BECAUSE BITCH GOT HER LICENSE!!! =D =D =D

2008-12-23T18:35:00.006+08:00

Okay. Time to blog!

I know I've been neglecting this thing for WAY too long so I'm just gonna summarize my interesting life in this entry (:

1 semester of school is finally over and done with! Finally I get a 1 month break =D

Thinking abt it, 1 month is kinda short. But whatever. At least I dont have anything to worry about! Not planning to work also. Hah.

So alright. Since I'm so in love with Picasa 3, I decided to collage my photos so it's easier to blog!

So, when I still had school and reports to write, I met up with KC @ Holland V (:

And then came YJ's 21st Birthday party in the midst of projects and assignments.

Also took some time out to meet Yu Hong. Went to Liang Court for lunch because Saizeriya just opened there! That was like our favourite restaurant when we were in Shanghai.

A plate of pasta cost RMB9 there. But here in Singapore, it costs SGD7.99 for a plate!

So we had like Saizeriya for lunch, slacked at Starbucks and had Soup Spoon for dinner (:

And in the midst of that, we trespassed Central's rooftop - Soho to find a huge swimming pool, 3 jacuzzies, a gym, a suana etc there (:

My aunt's and mum's birthday celebration (:
And thats Vic's dog Pillow.

Then there was dinner at Timbre with the Zenitant people to celebrate Timon and Kang Hao's belated birthdays.

The amount of food we ordered for like 9 people.

And during the study week, Vic came back from NY and bought what I asked her to buy!

This is like my all-time favourite snack! I hate that Singapore doesn't sell it.

More photos on my Mummy's birthday. I was like studying at home, so I look damn unglam.

Immediately after my last paper, there was a house party at Nad's (:

Lots and lots of photos!

And the next day, I jet-setted (okay, took the coach bus) to KL for my holiday with YJ and YH =D =D

That holiday post will be up soon (:

2008-11-11T16:05:00.000+08:00

Just printed out our MDP report! Finally, another assignment down (:

CB test is over too!

And my Monday morning was quite the drama scene.

Because it was raining like mad 10mins before I had to go out of the house, it resulted in flooding at the bus stop! Yes, FLOODING.

I swear the water went up slightly above my ankles!

Taken with my lousy handphone camera. I want a new phone!

Yeah, so given that kinda situation where the water was constantly flowing around, one side of my slipper got washed away when I attempted to walk across to board the bus.

I chased for it. Got irritated and decided to take off my other side of the slipper. So, I walked bare footed in the water towards the bus while holding onto my slippers and only wearing it again when I got on the bus safely.

How embarrassing.

2008-11-09T18:15:00.000+08:00

"ads should not promise more than the product will deliver"

Same goes for people.

2008-11-05T23:38:00.000+08:00

I miss Sin City.

I miss TRM life.
Everything was great (:

2008-11-05T22:51:00.000+08:00

I don't know why I'm feeling this way now.
It's been too long since I penned down any emotion on this blog of mine though.
Lets just say I'm happy with the current situation I'm in.
Although I know it wouldn't last forever
And I know that I'd get nothing out from this
And I know I'll get hurt in the end
But I'm happy for now
So thats all that matters.

BUT. Yes, there comes the big "but".

To not hurt myself in the end, I know what I need to do.
Seems like an opportunity to do so is available now
But I just can't make myself do it (yet).
I don't know why too.

I'm getting everything (well, almost) I wanted.
But it's not from that specific person.

Nevertheless, I won't shut myself out to options.
I'll try.

But as of now, whenever I hear my phone's sms tone, I still can't not hope that it's from that someone.

2008-11-01T21:43:00.000+08:00

Why hello there.

I know I've been neglecting this blog of mine for way too long (although I doubt anyone reads it) but still, there was a period of time when blogging was quite a constant routine for me.

I shall now attempt to pen down the happenings that occured recently so that I won't forget about them in the future.

So yes. Firstly school's taking most of my life away. And driving lessons have been a weekly routine. I'm considered lucky if I didn't get screamed at least once by my instructor whenever I have lessons.

And finally, another 2 assignments (CB presentation and MDP report) have been submitted.

As of now. I'm technically on a ONE WEEK BREAK. But I guess it's not much of a break because we're gonna have 1 lesson during the break and the rest of the time I guess it's rushing assignments because there are like 3 deadlines when school starts!

So like yesterday when I was attempting to get my part complete for the MDP report, I took a screen shot of how many stuff I had open on my laptop.

Talk about multi-tasking. Haha.

And today. Being a Saturday, it was such a lovely morning to sleep in because of the rain. But no. I didn't have the luxury to do so. By 10am I was at Bukit Gombak because we went to YJ's place for MDP group meeting.

Stayed there till about 6.30pm in hopes of getting the report done. We're 90% complete and I'm quite happy (:

And who says Sunday calls for a break. The group members are coming to my house tomorrow at 11am so we can start on our HROD ppt slides and we're hoping to complete EVERYTHING by tmr. Sounds ambitious but that's our goal.

I still haven't touched my CB notes to study for the coming test yet. I know, kinda screwed because its already quite last minute. I'm just crossing my fingers.

Well well. On the other hand, I just de-stressed by watching Mean Girls on tv. I know right, I think I watched that show more than 10 times! But who cares.

So apart from my very boring school life, I've not neglected my friends (well, kinda).

Just last week when I celebrated submitting my MDP essay, I went shopping with my mum (all expenses paid for) and also went to Sentosa on Saturday AND Sunday!

And because Yu Hong told me to download Picasa 3, I'm gonna attempt to use its collage functions to post photos here (:

(photos are clickable for larger view)

This was how I spent my Saturday.

Slacked under a tree at Palawan with YJ and KC. We then went to KC's new house to watch tv because he has ALL cable channels while he cooked dinner for us (:

And then comes Sunday (: I LOVE SUNDAY.

Spent the morning and afternoon with PB4s at Tanjong Beach (:

Cam-whoring, gossiping, catching up and enjoying the miserable beach at Sentosa.

Been way too long since the 4 of us spent time together.

Nana had to go off after that so the remaining 3 of us randomly drove to ECP because we wanted to slack.

In the end, I don't know why we ended up blading instead!

And because Monday was a public holiday (Deepavali), I went to meet the Z-clique for lunch.

Had sushi buffet at Suki Sushi in Cine followed by a movie. I ALMOST went back to work at Z but it didn't happen :P

Pardon me. I think I looked like shit.

All the guys (except for Melvin) are in NS now. Sigh.

After that I went to meet Yu Hong at Essential Brew for supper. No photos because that idiot hasn't sent me them yet!

Right now, I just want 12 Nov to be here so I'll be done with my assignments.

BUT that doesn't mark the end of my misery. There's no time for slacking because there's a report due the following week followed by another presentation and then it's exams.

Okay. Fast forward to 12 December then.

2008-10-12T16:15:00.000+08:00

In my attempt to start my MDP essay, I've decided to give up and blog instead.

Why don't they provide us with a specific guideline of what to write!

On a happier note, I've finished my part of the CB presentation and I've got nothing to touch until tomorrow's group meeting.

My somewhat "2 weeks of holiday" is over.

Yup, for the past 2 weeks I only had to go to school twice (:

And now I can't wait for 23 Oct to arrive because that means another 2 assignments will be over and done with!

Submitting the HROD essay sort of marked the start of my "holiday".

For one, I shopped like mad with YJ because I had $350 dropped from the sky.

And then I've been going out eating and meeting friends (:

NYDC and TCC (yes it was one after the other) with YJ and Yu Hong on a Friday night when YH booked out. It was all his treat! =D

Sakae sushi buffet with KC, YJ and Justin for my belated birthday (:

We ordered so much food and I think we made our money's worth.

After that Justin drove and we went to Villa Bali for a bit.

I've also gotten myself a tan! =D

Hit the beach with Nad on a weekday. That woman finally quit her job!

The sun was great. Didn't take us too long before we've got dark.

And finally, I really mean finally, I met up with LANCE KOH at Vivo.

He too, quit his job because he's going to enlist in like 2 weeks time!

Everything was on him that day because he said it was my "belated birthday". Haha.

First we went to Bakerzin for dessert.

I love love love their warm chocolate cake there! In fact, I have a craving for it now! Haha.

After dessert, we walked around and it was secondary school kids galore.

Think it's the after-exam period thats why. Sentosa was also filled with class outings when I went to tan.

We then we for dinner at this japanese restaurant. Can't rmb the name but half the restaurant has BBQ and the other half was Shabu Shabu.

We chose the steamboat instead.

The food wasn't that fantastic. Maybe I was still kinda full from dessert earlier.

We walked around somemore to digest and I saw a bag I fell in love with!

Stupid Lance didn't allow me to buy it :(

I'm seriously considering if I should throw $170 to get that bag or not now. I might just go back tomorrow or something :x

And because it's the Hari Raya period, Shikin invited us to her house.

Timon, Kang Hao, Melvin and I travelled all the way down to Pasir Ris.

I swear that woman can cook! Her cooking skills are superb!

We were like extras there though. The only 4 chinese out of, I'm guessing, 20+ of her family and relatives. Haha.

Pizza Hut, Soup Spoon, one of the jap restaurants at JP and TONG HENG EGG TARTS were also some of my food indulgence for the past 2 weeks.

Seriously. I'm gonna get FAT.

Hopefully the "start" of school will prevent me from going out and eating!

2008-09-29T23:49:00.000+08:00

If I procrastinate some more, my blog will officially be DEAD.

It's been almost a month since I updated.

School's officiall kicked into my life and I'm detesting it.

I just finished writing my 2500 word essay and printed out for tomorrow's submission!

At least one thing is over and done with.

And lets not talk about the stupid quiz the whole class studied for only to know that it had been postponed then cancelled on the test day itself. -.-

I guess the highlight of the month would be going on a yatch with Nad and her family (:

Ooooh. And also countless visits to Clark Quay's Coffee Club because I had so many cash vouchers!

The staff there could recognize me lahh. Going there for the last time tmr with YJ cuz the vouchers expire tmr!

I used like $300+ worth of vouchers there okayy.

And I've also just turned 20. No more a TEEN.

Didn't really have much of a celebration but I'm glad I spent the night before and the whole day with the people I love.

Alright, enough of typing. I shall let the photos do the talking now (:

Taken on his birthday.

I just had to post this because I like how I look here. Hahaha.

Then there was the day where I went on a yatch with bestie! =D

Went to her place first before her dad drove us to 1degree15 (:

Drinks were served.

We practically cam-whored the whole time.

Then we could jump into the sea to swim so we wore life jackets just in case!

We went in first.

Then her sister and her friends joined!

Lunch time.

Slacking/tanning/cam-whoring.

Her dad and his friend was fishing and he let me reel up this catch!

After that we headed to their condo at Sentosa Cove to shower before heading back (:

I'm also very very happy because I bought the Victoria's Secret bag online! =D

Although it cost me $88, and the girl gave me free registered mail delivery I spent $10 on cab fare to get the bag from the post office because no one was home when they delivered it :(

But who cares! I love love love the bag (: (: (:

It's so gonna get dirty if I don't take good care of it. It's freaking white canvas!

I also met KC for lunch one day cuz he said he had something to give me.

He made me guess what he got with "it's a couple month's worth of stuff".

I don't know how or where but he freaking got me a whole container of HORLICKS CANDY!

I still have packets remaining from what Han Loon and Jun Wei got for me from camp though. I bring a packet everytime I have school!

I need to find a way to bring that container to school soon.

And then comes my over indulgence of Coffee Club.

I think there are more food that we ordered over the days I dined there.

And these are the people I went with.

This is random. We just collected our student card. The photos are damn ugly lahh. Our faces look so BIG.

I wonder if we can use it to get student price?

Then there was one night that Jun Wei's godma came over to my place to give me a tiramisu cake she baked for my birthday (:

It tastes damn good! So gonna get fat. Haha.

I also met Yong Hui (after like a godzillion years because I refuse to work at Z) and he got me a notebook from Prints! =D =D

Then came the day when I went over to my bestie's for pizza, chilling at the pool and playing Rock Band (:

Yeah. I bought a new bikini. And I wanna buy moreeee!

Cam-whored and I found out this night mode function. Hahaha.

We basically just spent a couple of hours in the freezing pool slacking (:

I was supposed to meet Cheng Wei at HV to pass him his Friends DVD but I made him come to Nadia's instead.

Nad pushed him into the pool. Hahahaha.

It was his very first book out!

And omg. I look FAT when I'm beside him lahhh.

Stupid guy had to leave after playing a couple songs on Rock Band leaving Nad and I to play ourselves.

Jun Wei came to pick me up and we watched "My Best Friend's Girl" at like 2am!

Took this at like 5am at my place. Madness I know.

I didn't sleep at all because I had to leave the house at like 7am to go to Malaysia.

Good thing he sent us to town (:

So yes, deprived of sleep and rest off I went to JB with my mum, dad and grandma.

The trip was okay. A bit boring but maybe it was because I was damn tired.

But somehow I still managed to smile and look mediocre for the camera. Haha.

I don't know why I looked damn tanned. Haha.

And if the photos arn't noticable enough, I actually dyed my hair jet black already.

But the stupid hair dye and attempted to do it myself because it's cheaper.

I can't wait for my hair to grow so I can do something to it!

I've also been watching Sex and the City! I'm gonna finish watching all 7 seasons soon (:

Heroes 3 is out! Prison Break 4 too! I want DVDs from Shanghai pleasee.

2008-09-02T23:40:00.001+08:00

I practically spent the whole day sleeping and watching tv (I started watching Seinfeld but got bored after 10 episodes. I miss Friends!!).

But who cares! This might be the last day that I can stay home doing NOTHING.

Tomorrow's the last day I have before school starts and I've already got plans to go tanning in the morning (everyone, pray for good weather at Sentosa!) and driving in the evening.

It's September already! The end of the year is coming and I'm sad to say nothing major has happened to me in 2008. I practically spent more than half a year rotting (:

This time, last year, I was in Shanghai! How exciting compared to what I'm doing now.

My birthday is coming soon though!

Gonna turn 20. Which is quite depressing.

I won't be a TEEN anymore!

Speaking of birthdays, quite a number of important people are having their birthdays at this period of time!

First of all, Aw Cheng Wei.

On 31st Aug he had his birthday but his party is like this weekend, so Happy 20th ACW! (: (I bought a present for you already!)

And Karen Low who's all the way in Aussie Land. She shares the same birthday as ACW. Happy 21st (:

And then there's my BFF's which is on the 10th.

JW's who's on the 11th.

Melvin's who's on the 16th.

And mine on the 27th.

Gonna go broke buying presents aye?

But oh well. I haven't decided how I wanna spend my b'dae this year yet.

I do have a list of things I want though!

Although I know writing this list is practically useless, but oh well, what harm will it do? (:

1) Franck Muller's Crazy Hours Colour Dreams - Long Island style, in white (It's IMPOSSIBLE but one can't stop dreaming.)
2) Someone to sponsor me Zoom! Teeth Whitening (maybe my mum will take care of this)
3) Victoria Secret white Tote bag (I'm so gonna buy this online but you're more than welcomed to just pay for it and it'll save you the hassle of finding something for me :P)
4) The original DVD of Friends season 1-10
5) A pretty cover-ed A5 size notebook from Prints
6) Cash vouchers from a slimming centre (?)
7) Someone to sponsor getting my hair done (extensions, curls whatever)
8) Manicure/Pedicure credits
9) Kellogg's Rice Krispies Treats - Original flavour (I swear I will love this person forever if I receive this!)
10) Something hand made (photo collage, album etc.)
11) A new phone (LG Viewty (?) Honestly, I wanna change my phone but I haven't fallen in love with any so far)

Okay. I should stop.

Those are the physical things I want. I have a list of wishes which I don't think I wanna post up here.
mumwouldgetadivorcedadwouldloveusyouasmybfsmoothlypassandgetmydegree

The sun better be shining tomorrow with minimum clouds! I don't care if it starts raining AFTER 2pm. It better be perfect from 8am till about 12.

I so need to even out my stupid tan lines.

Ohhh. Before I forget.

Karen, the 2 photos below are for you (: (:

Good night!

2008-08-31T14:33:00.000+08:00

I've completed the 10th season of Friends already! =D

Finally finished all 10 seasons (:

It's really a very good show and I wouldn't mind watching it all over again if time permits.

Anws. I heard it's confirmed that they are gonna start shooting Prison Break 4! Yippie!!!

More more more Wentworth Miller pleaseeee.

So yeahh. Besides watching tv and laughing with myself, I attended orientation.

Orientation for my new school.

So not excited.

Firstly, I'm not really looking fwd to school starting although my time table seems rather slack.

Heard lots of bad stuff about failing, not getting enough time to complete assignments, lecturers teaching the wrong method etc.

And I'm damn scared to fail. Because I can't afford to fail.

Freaking school fees are damn expensive luh.

Another thing is, I hate change.

Change of environment, change of people etc.

Thankfully I have YJ there with me and I cross my fingers that we're gonna be in the same project group for ALL modules!

So yeah. School life starts this Thursday.

And I'm already counting down to 3 Nov cuz it's my 1 week break.

Okay, ehough about school.

I went to Sentosa on Saturday!

Had no intention to tan at all because the weather was bad all week and I was lazy to pack so much stuff.

So basically KC, YJ and I just went to the beach to slack UNDER THE SHADE.

There was only one time that I went under the sun and I swear it was only 10mins or so.

BUT, I came home looking darker on one side! Ugly ugly tan lines. Uneven tan. Omg.

It was worse yesterday but it looks quite okay now.

So, yeah. Photos!

Those are cuttlefish that KC caugut in the sea.

He found a small crab too.

Surprisingly the sun was GREAT for tanning. Sigh.

And that's us. In the shade the whole time (:

2008-08-22T23:17:00.000+08:00

I just had the sudden urge to blog.

Before I do, let me just say I've uploaded a chunk of photos on my Friendster (yes I still use that thing over Facebook) and that includes my very overdue South Korea Trip (:

I'm super proud of myself I bothered to update them according to days. How organized.

And I guess I'll NEVER blog about it so the only way to view the photos is thru my stupid Friendster. Haha.

So yes. Now let me blog with PHOTOS :D :D :D

It's gonna be very random because I just can't be bothered.

So far, I went out with Yu Hong twice.

First time, we were walking around City Hall area exploring all the art museums around.

Sad to say, I didn't know all these places existed. I should really explore Singapore more.

We then covered Fort Canning Park, Suntec and so on.

From like 10am we walked and walked till 8pm.

Did I mention we were equipped with like professional cameras and lenses?

There. Taken with my very lousy T300 as compared to that chunk of stuff.

2 DSLRs. I don't know how many different types of lenses and an old school film camera. This is another rich man's hobby.

Well, at least I wasn't bored because I had a DSLR to play with (:

(I used auto mode though. Still haven't learnt how to shoot passable photos with manual)

I did say I went out with him twice, right?

So the second time was to Botanic Gardens!

At like 8am in the morning.

Walked around the whole garden trying to take photos of birds, insects and all things nature.

Brought bread and fed the ducks and swans (:

So many school kids there!

I'm so not a nature person but Botanic's is really a nice place to walk around minus the mosquitoes and humidity in Singapore.

Haven't gotten the photos from YH yet, but I've seen them on the camera and they are oh-so-pretty!

I want a DSLR too! (but I so don't know how to use it)

Okay, enough about professional cameras.

Back to normal photos taken with my T300.

My last tanning session was with YJ!

Quite some time ago, at Conrad Hotel.

Bought this lip balm and I'm so not using it anymore. Haha.

This is edible white chocolate!

Somewhere along the month, I've also met Cheng Wei!

Roamed around City Hall, Kampong Glam (:

Oh yes. I also made a trip back to NP because we were called back for the OIAP briefing session.

Really brought back memories of the time spent in Shanghai.

Most of us went to Taka's Crystal Jade for Dim Sum lunch after that and then there was this booth NP had so we took photos there.

Oh yes. Also had a BBQ at ECP with the Zenitant people.

Failure to smuggle the trolley to ECP!

This is $40 worth of snacks! But look, chocolate Horlicks! =D =D =D

We had 2 chefs but the first round of chicken wings turned out black. Haha.

Kim, Timon, Melvin, Kang Hao, Ben, Song Hua, Corrine, Shikin (: Hadi joined us later.

Oh yes oh yes. I also went to cut my hair. Don't like it.

I want long, wavy, big, sexy hair!

My only solution is extensions now but I'm really considering if I should just be patient and let my hair grow.

My driving instructor also started to teach me parking. Like, how to drive VERY VERY slowly in straight lines first so I won't bang into anything when I start learning how to get the car into the slot.

Damn hard lah. Stupid clutch and accelerator. I was going back and forth for like 1hr and I don't think I've gotten the hand of it yet.

Driving test is like end of this year. I'm so not putting high hopes.

I've also been tv-ing when the weather is perfect to stay home (:

Just finished season 7 of Friends. Monica and Chandler just got married! =D

Oh yes, and because I'm like so free I actually agreed to travel all the way down to Changi Airport just for fun.

Kang Hao, Timon and I made our way to the airport on Thursday afternoon because Melvin was doing a trail there.

Waited for him to end and honestly, I kinda miss working but I'm sticking to the "no work until I start school" plan.

So while waiting, we doodled on the whiteboard!

I shan't post a few doodles we drew because it will just get us into trouble. But we sure did have a good laugh!

Okay, that was drawn quite some time ago but it's damn cute!

And after Melvin ended, we ate at Kopitiam!

Traveled all the way down to eat at Kopitiam. Haha.

And then we proceeded to Earl's Swensens for dessert!

That's KH's PSP! There's this really cute game he has!

Love love love this Apple Crumble. There goes the diet plan.

Regular earthquake.

Now, only 1 is in orange!

So after eating we practically sat there and played cards.

I finally learnt how to play Bridge! =D

And then we used the train to travel all the way back home.

That's life for people who are damn free I guess.

I have like a week before school starts. Save me.

2008-08-11T21:40:00.000+08:00

And I'm not dead yet.

Been to long. Too too long.

Not to mention about updating, I haven't even looked at my blog.

I think the decision to stop working was a good one (:

At least I've got all the time in the world to do what I want, when I want.

Although tanning sessions have been postponed quite a number of times due to the weather and my stupid time of the month coming at the wrong time, but I've been spending quality time with the family.

Don't really feel like making this a sequential post because I'm so lazy to look back and see what I've actually done, but the main stuff would be driving, attending funerals, spending time with the family and of course catching up with friends.

School's gonna start in like 2 weeks. Sort of looking fwd to it because I'll have something routined to do (:

Timetable seems rather slack. 3 days of school for 3 hours a day. But I've heard it might get tough because of the time constraint of the term. Oh well, we shall see how it goes to decide if I wanna find a job to support my shopping fund :P

Most prolly I'll opt for teaching tuition if time permits.

Although I didn't (still don't) have the guts to teach tuition (don't judge! I'm scared I wouldn't be able to answer questions the kids ask me), I'll still go for it because I don't know what other job to take up.

I even rejected a job to promote the iPhone 3G for Singtel this month. I'm guessing it might be fun cuz it's all IT and stuff (= good looking business men) but oh well.

I don't need the money just yet :P

And because I've been going out with my mum so much these days, I don't really spend a lot of money!

Ohhh. I've also been less of a cam-whore! Maybe there's not really any occasion and I can never quite get my mum to cam-whore with me so the stupid T300 is sitting in my room collecting dust :(

Time to take it out and fully utilize it.

Speaking of gadgets and stuff, my hard disc died on me!

Okay, this is old news but I didn't know it died until I asked KC for some stuff and the stupid lap top couldn't read it. And then I procrastinated to send it back to the shop cuz the receipt stated it was at Ubi and I procrastinated calling the shop because my phone was always dead or I didn't have the number on hand when I remembered I had to call.

So yes. A lot of procrastinating despite how free I am and in the end I did get myself to call and there was a shop at Sim Lim.

Not knowing how to go, I dragged Cheng Wei to bring me there when I met him.

Was already prepared for all my data inside to be gone but hey, miracles do happen!

I've also been spending a lot of time being a couch potato! Just that I don't binge or snack when I'm in front of the telly.

I'm watching Friends now. Yup. Season 1-10 all over again.

Not like there isn't any other show to watch, it's just that Sex and the City is with CW and there isn't Prison Break 4.

I don't even bother spending time online anymore. Sort of lost contact with the gossip world because I stopped reading blogs.

But all's good. And I'm on a diet again. Time for more tv now. I'm already at Season 4!

p/s: changed the main photo of my blog cuz my world's not orange anymore. It's an old photo and it's not because I'm lazy to edit recent photos. It's because my stupid photo editing programme died on me. How DEPRESSING :( :( :( :( :(

2008-07-29T20:09:00.000+08:00

A broken glass will always show its cracks no matter how hard you try to salvage it.

2008-07-27T02:16:00.000+08:00

Right. So I've been trying to refrain from blogging because I don't want to rant everything out here but I can't sleep and I have no mood to do anything else so here I am now.

Before I start ranting, I shall blog per normal first.

Monday (21/7)

Can't rmb what I did in the day but I only met KC in the evening at Suntec.

We had Haagen Dazs first and this tiny 2 scoops cost like $12 or something.

And that's KC with his army specs :P

After ice-cream, we walked around looking for Conrad Hotel. Found it and waited at the Lobby for Justin before crashing his room (:

Okay, first thing I saw was this.

Yes a menu for pillows!

Look at how many types you can call housekeeping to deliver to your room for free!

So yeah. The next thing that made me happy was the BED.

It's like calling out for you. King size!

And it's very high!

Such a huge ass TV with DVD player! =D

They even gave a teddy bear!

KC and I. Had to cam-whore a bit :P

And of course, complementry chocolates which I happily ate (:

With Justin that just came out of the shower.

And we watched Love Actually and 3 episodes of Ugly Betty before calling it a night (:

Tuesday (22/7)

Woke up like damn early.

I think KC woke up at 5.15am and he woke me up at 5.30am.

Idiot took photos when we were still sleeping.

So like by 6.15am we were out of the hotel room.

I had to go all the way to Yishun for a trail while KC headed home before going for his medical check-up.

Trail was for North View Pri. Totally hated it.

My wedges were killing me. Kids were stupid. Hated the teacher for my class (thank god she didn't follow me otherwise I think I'd blow at her). Didn't get the best of partners. Questions were very stupid.

I shall not go into further details because I think I already bitched too much about this trail.

After the trail, KC met me and he brought his pair of slippers so I could wear them! So what if they were green and over-sized. I was thankful although I think I look damn unglam!

Imagine me in my orange maid shirt, jeans and green slippers. Disgusting.

So yeah. We had Pastamaina before going back to Conrad Hotel.

My feet were aching and I was still quite pissed about the morning trail.

Anws, this is the photo of the lovely bed (again).

And I didn't take photos of the toilet the previous day so here they are.

I totally LOVE the toilet because it has mirrors EVERYWHERE.

Even one big one behind the toilet door! What a pleasant surprise =D

Cam-whored inside the toilet for a bit.

And then I decided to take a bubble bath!

Got KC to make the bath for me (:

I used the whole bottle of shower foam.

And they even had a rubber ducky! How cute.

This is the view outside the window. Competitor hotels! Hahaha.

And the swimming pool!

And ta-dah. My bubble bath! =D

Soaked in it for like 1hr. Almost feel asleep. But it was damn good because after it, I wasn't that moody anymore.

The bed was calling out to me after the bath so yay to afternoon naps!

I think KC also slept for awhile before I remember him poking me up to tell me that he was going down to the pool for a swim.

Slept till the evening time and there was another room delivery!

Strawberries with icing sugar and melted chocolate this time (:

Soon Lavanya and her bf came over and we slacked in the room for awhile waiting for YJ to reach.

Met her at Marina's Carls' Jr for dinner.

KC can eat like 3.5 burgers from Carl's Jr. :O

So anws, yes this is a photo of him trying to be funny on the escalator.

And then we started playing with Lavanya's camera cuz it's like a mini DSLR.

I actually look small standing next to him! Haha.

And that was just to see how much bigger he is.

Had to do this.

And this is all of us in the bath tub. Haha.

And on the comfy bed (:

And KC got a tattoo!

I'm sorry but we made him do that. Poor dude. Haha. But he is like super muscular and strong!

Doubt many guys can do this.

We were seriously enjoying the bed (:

And then came Justin! =D

Didn't stay over this time round because I had to work the next day and the school is at Boon Lay so kinda pointless because my home is nearer.

Wednesday (23/7)

Because my trail was in the afternoon I had driving lessons in the morning.

Little did I realize that drama happened in the house when I was staying over at Conrad on Monday night.

Sort of regretted not being at home but I guess it's fated.

So yeah, rushed for my driving because I was running late.

Had it at Queenstown today. It was quite okay. Just that at one point of time I couldn't get the car moving. Think I restarted the engine 6-7 times. But oh well.

Drove to Bukit Gombak after that and rushed down to Boon Lay for the trail.

Like thanks again. This time round I had all boys! The teacher-in-charge told me that 2 boys can't write and 5 boys are low ability. Whoa. Thanks.

Good thing the teacher followed me because it made them more well-behaved.

Trail was at Vivo again.

It was quite a big group. Haven't done trails with so many classes going at a time already.

After the trail, a few of us went to eat Subway for dinner before sitting down at Starbucks to start GOSSIPING (:

Shikin and I.

Extra dude in brown.

Ben who is forever acting cute.

Didn't really like the new drink.

Another extra dude in white and green.

Us facils (:

We chilled until about 8ish and called Melvin to ask if we could stay over at his place because we had another trail the next day at CCK. Surprisingly we could so we rushed home to grab our stuff and all before heading to his place (:

Timon, Shikin and I stayed over.

Thursday (24/7)

North View was a horror so we wern't putting too much hope for South View today.

To make things worse, there were so many classes going! 13 to be exact. So there were like 26 facils. OMG.

T3 was the venue and lucky for us the place is big!

Obviously there were like nonsense people but this is basically who we usually hang out with during trails (:

And with the others. Not all are in the photo.

Really a sea of orange.

I actually enjoyed the whole trail.

It was also a miracle that I talked all the way to T3 from like CCK. One end of Singapore to the other. Haha.

I had a nice teacher, I finished everything and the teacher allowed them to buy Mac. Students were smart and obedient too!

Ate at Popeye after the trail. Been ages since I ate there. I don't understand why they can have 2 outlets at the airport but NONE in the rest of Singapore.

And this is Timon carrying 4 Z files filled with stickers (:

Agree with me the both of them are retarded.

Alright, so after the trail Yong Hui accompanied me to Bugis because he needed to collect his pants and after that I went to do my nails.

Took freaking long cuz I did both my hands and feet.

Good thing he came along otherwise I would have been damn bored.

Lionel also came half way through and the 2 guys waited until I was done and carried my bag, file and feedback forms all the way to the bus-stop (:

Cost me like $50+ can.

Friday (25/7)

Finished up the feedback forms before going down to the office in the evening to return them and then going all the way to Pasir Ris.

Haven't seen a sea of army guys in a very long time but a pity they all looked the same and I didn't spot any good looking guys.

Accompanied JW all the way back to his place before we headed out for dinner at West Coast Mac.

Saturday (26/7)

Had a family BBQ at Aunty Irene's condo cuz they are gonna move out next month.

No particular reason for the BBQ but there was only one topic for the whole night.

This is where you see the whole family coming together to support her.

No photos either because none of us were in the mood.

___________________________

Alright. So I realized my week was quite boring. An emotional wreck too. I shan't blog about it because I don't wanna be labeled as being emo or whatever.
But I swear it sucks to be me now. Men can be such assholes. Selfish. And they think they are King.

Bullshit.

I'm actually beginning to detest you.

Ugh. I should just go to bed now. Bye.

2008-07-19T18:29:00.000+08:00

Alright. Here we go again. Let me recall (with the aid of my organizer) what I've did for the past week (:

Friday (11/7)

My supposed shopping day with Fara turned into chilling by Nadia's pool.

I only had time to buy 1 top before we had to make our way to Nad's place. What a bummer.

But it was all good because we chilled by her pool and cam-whored (:

Been too long since we slacked together by her pool.

It is a must to pluck fresh frangipani flowers from her house.

It took us damn long to get into the water!

After spending a few hours by her pool, Fara had to go for tuition so it was just left with the both of us. Cam-whored while waiting for her Mac delivery to come.

And after I got my Mc Flury, I cabbed down to school (Ngee Ann, that is).

Why NP?

Cuz we were supposed to meet Mrs Sue Tan and another lecturer to discuss about the OIAP briefing for the coming batch that's scheduled to go.

Headed to the Alumni Club House for the discussion which turned out to be a story-telling session (:

Just talking about all the experiences we had really made me miss OIAP a lot! And I think I was super lucky to have a fun and memorable experience for 6 months because I heard a lot of unhappy stories for my batch and the current batch now.

And because Yu Hong was there and so was his DSLR, we CAM-WHORED (:

It was because we were waiting for Mrs Tan to go back to her office to pack her stuff and tompang us with her car, that's why we had time.

Love jumping shots.

Jump, jump, jump and my necklace fell apart :( Thankfully Yu Hong fixed it!

See this photo. Very familiar!

LOOK. Taken almost 1 year ago!

Okay, so after cam-whoring, Mrs Tan sent YJ to Clementi MRT and dropped Yu Hong and I at Tanjong Pagar.

I went to meet Cheng Wei for dinner and we headed to City Hall for Soup Spoon!

Helped him by posing for his camera cuz he needed someone before calling it a day (:

Sunday (13/7)

Met the BFFs again in the morning!

This time round we headed to Sentosa to tan (:

Sentosa was like at ghost town at 9am on a Sunday. Only by 11am the crowd started coming in.

After tanning, Nad had to rush home so Fara and I went to look for somewhere to eat. We were about to settle at Pastamania when we decided to change our mind and try this place beside it.

Not worth it. I'd rather eat pasta. Food isn't very nice and it's super expensive! And they don't serve ice water!

So, it's like Sunday right.

When we just arrived at the beach, I received a text from my tuition teacher (who taught me like 4 years ago) saying she saw my face in the Sunday Times. I wasn't surprised cuz Cheng Wei already told me that it would be there so I didn't bother.

And while I was tanning half way, Yu Hong texted me saying that my face was on the FRONT PAGE. I was like zomg!

Looked up, saw this family sitting under the coconut tree beside us and the mother was reading Sunday Times. Saw the cover and went OMG cuz it was quite big!

So yeah, my mum who was working saw it too and bought a copy.

It so wasn't like the last time where it was tiny and no one except for Han Loon noticed.

So there, for those like me, who don't read the news.

So after lunch, I went home and took a nap before heading to my grandma's.

My uncle bought durians! Omg. 7 durians for like $200. But it's damn good. Been too long since I ate such good durians! Yummmy :D :D :D

And then I started cam-whoring with my 6 year old cousin, Morgan.

You gotta agree with me, he has a very naughty face. But he's like super smart.

Monday (14/7)

Finally I made my ass down to BBDC, with YJ accompanying me, to get my PDL!

The waiting time was quite long, but it's gotta be done.

I can finally go learn how to drive!

And because I registered under Auto last time, I had to take a queue number and change it to manual. Paid termination fee and had to register again. Waste of money I swear.

But hey, it's changed and I'm not changing it back! I'm determined to learn how to drive a manual car. Also confirmed my instructor because they needed his IC number otherwise I gotta go back there and take a queue number again. So troublesome right.

So after BBDC, I went to YJ's place cuz she needed to take something before we took the train all the way down to Novena.

Dinner with OIAP mates and Mrs Sue Tan. It was a farewell dinner for Joanne cuz she was going to fly to Aussie in 2 days time.

Ate at BaliThai (:

Shall post the photos up. Just look at how fantastic Yu Hong's camera is! He is such a good photographer!

Tueaday - Thursday (15-17/7)

3 days. 4 trails at the Zoo.

St. Anthony Primary for all 3 days in the afternoon and on Wed there was an additional CHIJ St. Nicholas Primary in the morning.

For SAPS, we had to watch the elephant show. So yes, I watched it 3 times.

And for all 3 times, we had to rush to book seats because half the huts were under renovation and there were like more than 10 schools at the Zoo.

Freaking crowded I tell you! But for all 3 days we managed to get all our classes a seat (: It's because of us facils :P Hahaha.

Thank goodness it was a different route for St. Nics otherwise I would be bored to death.

And I think I've familiarized the routes to take at the Zoo already (:

I was holding the Giraffe signboard for my class for the 3 days and on the first day this boy in my class had a giraffe hat! How cute.

I borrowed it to take a photo.

Like how cute! Coincidental too (:

And on Thursday after work, I went down to Jurong Point (cuz it's near SAPS) to meet KC for dinner.

We ate at Kuishin Bo. There goes my 1 day pay.

And after that we met Justin at Harry's Holland V before he drove us to West Coast Mac.

It was like 1am and we decided to walk along the beach area and spotted quite a number of couples making out! Haha.

Friday (18/7)

I had my very first driving lesson! =D

Met the instructor at Gombak Station and realized that I could actually meet him at Queenstown cuz that's where he came from.

But nevermind, all's good because my lessons will all be at Queenstown area in the future. Super near my place!

So yes, I drove for the first time today.

Only had to restart the engine twice. I drove from Gombak Stn to Commonweath Stn. Took me 1.5hrs though! Hahahaha.

But I didn't crash the car! Woohoo! (:

Saturday (19/7)

Spent the whole afternoon adding more photos on the walls of my room.

Ran out of double-sided tape though. Also ran out of space to put all the photos I developed.

This is how it looks like now (:

Am gonna buy twine to hang the remaining photos on the window grids and also fill up the space above my graduation photo.

And I had vegetarian food for dinner. I'm not complaining becaue I'm currently dieting and hopefully vegetarian food contains lesser calories! :P

2008-07-12T14:15:00.000+08:00

Just when I said I'll try to make it a point to blog weekly, I've failed. Been half a month since I touched this thing.

So now, since I'm finally gonna stay at home and slack, I will attempt to blog all the happenings for the past 2 weeks.

Tuesday (1/7)

Totally hated the trail I did.

Firstly, the school was freaking ulu.

Secondly, so many new faces. Thank god there was Shikin, Ben and Timon.

Thirdly, it just stopped raining so the floor was super wet and it was VERY humid.

Forthly, I totally counldn't stand this particular facil X (thank god she wasn't my partner).

Okay.

So I had like a full class of 40 and guess what. A girl in my group woke up late and her mum was gonna fetch her to the venue itself.

Girls were spoilt and pampered. So not cute!

And my bus was super squeezy because Ben's group was on my bus too. Not my problem that the girls had to share 3 to 2 seats. Haha.

So anws, the floor was like wet due to the rain so they couldn't sit down.

The bus driver dropped us at Visitors Centre instead of the usual Ginger Garden (but it was a good thing because I just had to walk down that stretch 1 time :D).

I had to like stick around that area and waited for the late girl to arrive can. Spoilt.

And the whole trail was so worksheet based. I took my own sweet time and at the end of the day I just sat them down inside the shelter of Orchid Garden.

After the last bus left, we had to walk all the way out to the main entrence to take a bus to town.

Initially, it was only Ben, Timon, Tat Hong, Eden and I that were going for lunch in town BUT..

When we reached the bus stop outside Gleneagles, we saw X.

Okay, why do I not like X?

Firstly she's like totally new and all of us haven't seen her before. And she's like over-friendly. Like, in the morning when I was talking to Shikin (gossiping and bitching), she just totally cut in our conversation.

And when we saw her at the bus stop (I swear all of us were bitching about her and we went like "oh shit" when we saw her), she walked to us and asked where were we going.

Totally self-invited herself to lunch can. We were like ignoring her except for Tat Hong who was being nice.

So we went to Cine instead because we decided on Subway. But, it was crowded so we shifted to Pastamania and shifted again to Hong Kong Cafe in the end.

I hope I'll never see X again I swear.

After lunch, we got rid of her and the 4 of us (Eden left to look for his friends) went to Paragon's Starbucks to slack.

And then Tat Hong had to leave, so the 3 of us walked down to Centrepoint and we sat our asses at Starbucks again.

Ordered my favourite Dark Mocha Frap (:

Gossip sessions!

Thursday (3/7)

Another trail. This time round it was bringing Kong Hwa kids to T3. Yay air-con! =D

And because I found out Kong Hwa is like quite near Astons, we decided to eat there for lunch after the trail.

The weather was scorching hot so Timon, Yong Hui and I decided to cab down from the school.

While waiting for our food to come, we started swapping watches.

Timon with mine.

Me with Timon's.

Yong Hui with Timon's.

And then we attempted to cam-whore.

Failed.

The waiter there took this for us.

Yong Hui's food finall arrived!

And he caught Timon sniffing his piece of steak :P

Good thing I brought my camrea unlike the last time I was here!

Mine (:

Timon's.

All in medium rare :D

After the hearty lunch I went down to town to meet YJ!

Been quite some time since I met this babe.

We went down to Kaplan to give them our passport photo before going to Centreporint's Starbucks (yes, again).

Sat there for like 5 hours with our drink and talked and talked.

Been too long since only the 2 of us were out together (:

Friday (4/7)

Did a Social Studis trail @ Kampong Glam in the morning. SS trails are easy money when you don't really feel like talking. It's nice on occasion but I think I'll be bored to death if I do a lot of them.

And after that I went to meet Mr. Pang for lunch! Yess, he's back from Caribbean already.

Saturday (5/7)

Headed to Holland V to meet Karen and Han Loon @ NYDC.

Karen's like leaving for Aussie the next day and Han Loon is in army already.

I think the waiter there got a little startled at our order because I ordered a main course, Han Loon ordered dessert and Karen ordered a drink. Guess no group has that kinda combination often. Haha.

I love my Tabasco (:

He's BOTAK. Hahahaha.

And then we proceeded outside because there was good lighting to take photos!

Did I mention we used Karen's DSLR. Yay!

He brought the newspaper article for me. I'm like 25. And a tourguide. Thanks.

TB12.

I have hair...

... and he doesn't!

It's actually quite nice to the touch.

So after that we took a bus and walked all the way into Sunset Way for Daily Scoop! =D

I'm happy because they had AVOCADO!

Very happy (:

Monday (7/7)

I was like panicking because my Final Theory Test was the next day and I haven't started studying yet!!

Went over to JW's place to study so if I don't know anything at least I have someone to ask.

Realized Linda just took the test and passed so I called her up and she told me she had this stack of questions and answers which were similar to the test.

Decided to meet her later in the evening at Bukit Panjang to get them from her before heading home (:

But in the end JW drove me down to pick the notes and back to his place because I decided to join him and his godma for dinner later.

I've also got a free MAC eyeliner from Linda and it's damn good lah! Hahaha. (:

And because he owns a DSLR too, I was cam-whoring when he was driving.

Oh did I mentioned he shaved his head already? He had like 3 more days before enlisting.

See! Hahaha. Another friend that is botak.

And I've mastered the art of cam-whoring with a DSLR. I think the other drivers on the road were staring at us.

We went to pick his Godma up before driving to IMM to eat at Long Beach for..

.. Chili Crab! I don't rmb the last time I had crab. Not a fan of troublesome food. Haha.

And JW distorted my face with his wide-angle lens. Look like a hamster can.

Tuesday (8/7)

Had my FTT at like 4.30pm.

The night before I was reading through the stack Linda passed me until like 4am (not because I was mugging but because I started late!).

I even went down to office to return feedback forms in the afternoon before heading to BBDC for the test.

I was so scared I tell you.

But I PASSED. Freaking happy luh :D :D :D

And I think I'm gonna learn manual instead of auto. I'm really crossing my fingers now.

After the test I headed to JP to look for YJ for dinner. I didn't buy Tong Heng egg tarts though becuase I am dieting :(

Wednesday (9/7)

Met Joanne and YJ at Vivo in the afternoon because we wanted to watch Hancock.

And after the movie Angela joined us for dinner.

We ate at Thai Accent.

The food was yummy and reasonably priced too!

6 months of living together (:

After dinner, we were damn full so we just sat at the restaurant and chatted. Mr. Pang was meeting us after our dinner so he made his way down and we just sat at th restaurant all the way.

But in the end, we switched to Haagen Dazs instead.

Ordered this thingy. Like Swensen's Earthquake with 1 scoop lesser.

Before the ice cream came, we were like trying to divide it so the 4 girls would eat less (because we were so full after dinner) but when it came, 10 mins later..

.. all gone (: There is always room for dessert. Haha.

Joanne's going to Aussie, Angela's going to Switzerland. It's left with the 2 of us stuck in Singapore. Holidays to these 2 countries so we have free accommodation pls! (:

Lastly, I got a souvenir from Japan! (:

There's candy inside.

Ok that's all for now. Will continue updating soon (:

2008-06-28T16:22:00.000+08:00

I used to make it a point to blog everyday in the past, and now I shall try to blog once a week.

Like I said, I'm not doing this for people to read. My main purpose is to jot down what I've done because everybody knows I have STM (:

So yup. I wasn't a useless bum this week because I worked for 2 days!

But lets start from the top.

Oh. I also finished the whole season of Prison Break 3 already. I'm expecting a season 4 because the ending doesn't feel complete. Someone got put into Sona, he has plans to kill her etc. I shall not rattle on otherwise I'll just blurt everything out.

Sunday

I met Timon at HV in the evening first because he wanted to cook @ Mel's place. We bought stuff from Cold Storage and cabbed down to his place.

Despite having his maid there, we cooked!

The head chef. I don't know how he learnt how to cook.

I helped! :P

And of course, the maid helped us too. (note: Melvin is nowhere in sight.)

Did I mention why I love to go to Melvin's place? I love his doggie!

Jacky is very cute (:

Oh yes. I had fake eyelashes on because I wanted to get used to it on my eye.

We cooked pasta and I tried baking brownies.

Kang Hao and Wendy came for dinner too!

We sort of over cooked.

And we ate with this. Hahaha.

Brownies! Looks good but the bottom part was like still uncooked :x

Whilst we were having dinner, Melvin's little cousin came home. So after dinner, they started playing Wii with him.

He's only 6 but he's a pro at playing!

See how tiny he is.

And because there could only be 4 players, I started cam-whoring with Timon.

And with the dog (:

(fake eyeslahes are the sex)

Because Timon went to use the massage chair.

So, after they got sick of playing, we started to watch DVD. Timon brought Kung Fu Panda! (:

Not like we didn't catch it in the cinema but somehow the guys really like the movie. And while they were watching and laughing at the very wrong subtitles, I was playing with Mel's PSP.

This is my favourite part of the movie though- the part where he had a face cramp.

The couple left half way though so after the movie we started playing Texas Hold'em.

I swear it was just not my night. I lost all my chips and even lost the extra chips that wern't divided! I think I only won 3 rounds?

This bugger was the ultimate winner. Just look at the amt of chips he has.

Mudskipper too. Eventually he lost everything to Timon at Poker when I was the dealer because I had no more chips left.

And this is the very unhappy me with very little chips to play with.

Monday

2 Mudskippers, I3 and I went to Causeway Point to watch Get Smart. Yes, all the way there because Mudskipper was in school. The movie was super funny (:

And in all great timing, after the movie I rushed down to City Hall to meet Lance (and I was on time!)

I haven't met that stupid guy in AGES.

So the both of us were starving and our plan of eating soup spoon was scraped. In then end Lance brought me to this Jap restaurant.

I swear we had so many things to talk about. And some time to cam-whore (:

I don't know him w/o his glasses on.

Now thats more like it.

He looks like Goofy here!

Finally our food arrived.

We were supposed to pour that raw egg into the covered thingy and let the meat cook. But I think we left it on for too long (because we were too busy talking) and we couldn't get the lid off!

Yup, that's the raw meat.

And on top of that we ordered Tempura because I had a craving!

A very hungry me.

Dinner lasted a very long time because I kept talking and ate super slowly. After that we walked around (for maybe 10mins) before deciding to slack somehwere.

Starbucks it was. And obviously I ordered my favourite drink of the moment.

It's called:

Obviously mine is the one w/o whipped cream (:

One of the many photos we took.

And we did very lame things.

I stirred in all his whipped cream while we were talking and he didn't notice!

How sweet. He can actually make a flower orgami.

It's quite nice actually.

But too bad I forgot to take it along with me when we left :(

I spent the next 2 days at home though.

Did an Ugly Betty season 2 marathon although I didn't have the DVD.

Searched for it and watched it online (:

I hope that there'll be a season 3!

I wanna start watching Dirty Sexy Money. Gotta go hunt for it online.

Thursday and Friday was spent working.

Although it was an afternoon trail, I didn't get to wake up very late.

On Thursday, Mudskipper came to my place at like 10am on Thursday while I was still sleeping and after that we made our way to the school.

And on Friday, I got woken up at 10am too because the 2 guys wanted to go to Cine to buy movie tix first.

Kong Hwa. Very far away.

2 days at the same school, same level and same location.

Pri 1. Brought them to the Zoo.

I was expecting to see facils I didn't know but it wasn't that bad. At least there were familiar faces like Shikin, Yong Hui and Ben.

And all thanks to Shikin, I didn't get lost! =D =D =D

I had everything mapped out and planned cuz of her help (:

Partners on the bus for the 2 days were great too!

Just that the first day, the kids wern't as good as the second day. I had a mild autistic kid on the first day. But my teacher was quite nice.

But on the second day the teacher bought me a bottle of ice lemon tea (can't comapre to Timon's teacher that bought him B&J's milkshake!) (:

Watched the elephant show for the 2 days also. Saw them pee and shit while performing their routine. Haha.

The weather was a bummer though. Freaking hot. Just like an oven. Maybe I'm not used to it because I haven't been out in the day for a very long time :P

So after the friday Zoo trail, we all went home to bathe and change before heading out again.

And I got a shock of my life when I stepped out of the shower.

I was greeted with this:

Meet my new brother.

And my new cousin.

Imagine I was wrapped in my towel, out of the shower, saw what I just saw. My first instinct was to hunt for my camera and I did! Thats how I got the shots of them. They are mad.

Okay back to going out. We met up with Kang Hao too! (:

Watched Wanted.

I was expecting it to be a good show but it turned out bad. I was quite restless after 3/4 of the show.

And after the movie, guess who we saw.

Benjamin from Z. Such a coincidence.

So, the guys went up to play pool and billard and I was the spectator. I entertained myself with my camera but it didn't last cuz I was trying to drain out the battery and it died sooner than expected :(

His shirt suits him. Like totally.

I swear I had a problem holding my camera today. The angles were just WRONG.

So not in the centre right! Ugh. Something is wrong with me.

I took this.

The 3 idiots =D

The following photos were taken by Mudskipper.

\

I can't believe he's a better cam-whore than me.

And that's them playing billard.

Saturday

I was kind enough to help my mum collect the cakes she ordered (:

So I woke up, felt lazy, and cabbed back and forth.

Yup, it's the famous Lana Cake that I was asked to collect. Yummy!

And after that, the family went all the way to the East for dinner.

Dad wanted to try @ this place called Astons Signatures.

They don't take reservations and the queue is like, long!

So we queued and after 45mins we got our food served.

Their famous for steak (:

And because my camera was charging, I had no choice but to take photos with my lousy 2 mega pixel handphone camera.

It's quite cheap for what we're eating.

Wagyu Rib Eye.

Mum ordered fish cuz she doesn't take beef.

Rib Eye.

Tenderloin.

All in medium-rare (:

Love how juicy and bloody the meat was. The photos don't do it justice.

I'm so going back although it's damn far away. It's freakin' good meat!

2008-06-21T20:17:00.001+08:00

Alright. I've decided to take a break from the TV, so I shall blog (:

I've been watching tv since I woke up (2pm) until about 8pm.

Finally, I'm doing a Prison Break 3 marathon! :D :D :D

Wentworth Miller is so sexyy. I don't care if the media says he's gay. He is like the hottest guy ever.

I finished like the first disc already. And I think I'm gonna finish the whole season by tonight =D

All thanks to Joanne because she went back to Shanghai and I borrowed the DVD from her. I miss the 80cents/disc DVDs there!

Okay, back tracking a bit, I've finally went shopping!!

Tuesday

Met the Best Friend at Vivo for lunch at Sakae first because she had a craving for Sushi since forever!

We didn't eat a lot though.

And then we shopped like MAD.

Took a break at Starbucks to cam-whore for a bit and to catch up with each others lives before contnuing to shop.

Our very heavy bags of stuff we bought!

I like their new drink. Some chocolate mocha something whatever. Haha.

I shan't put up ALL the photos we took.

And we finally having dinner at the food court. Heyy, I dig Vivo's Banquet's Tom Yum Ban Mian. It's like freaking nice.

Wednesday

I had to make my way down Vivo again because I found out that there was a defect on a bag that I bought so I needed to get it changed. Met Timon for late lunch there cuz he lives so near and off I went to City Hall to meet AW CHENG WEI.

It's been ages since I saw him. He's busier than me. I swear I would kill him if he was going to enlist soon but thankfully it's in Sept.

Forced him to take his DSLR along with him and we sat ourselves at Anderson's @ Marina Square to cam-whore. Yes, we cam-whored with a DSLR without a remote or tripod (:

He still hasn't sent me the photos, but he has the photos up on his blog so I'll just be a lazy pork and provide the link here: http://chengwei.livejournal.com/23337.html

I seriously had a lot of fun just simply cam-whoring with him although I had to put up with comments such as "I look so cute here", "I look skinny! can take more photos from this angle" and "Whoa, I can't believe I look so good".

And the workaholic still had to go back to his office after meeting me. I swear that short period of time wasn't enough for catching up!

Friday

The room mates from Shanghai finally met up!

Joanne came to my place first to pass me my stuff that I had previously left in Shanghai and asked Kelvin to bring them back for me when he came back. Yup, he left it at Joanne's place about 2 months ago and I was just lazy to collect it.

I didn't remember having SO MANY things though. But yay! I've finally gotten all my stuff back from Shanghai already.

Joanne and I then went down to cine to meet Angela and YJ and we were late. So the 2 girls went to eat first at Suki Sushi and we joined them shortly.

We sat there from like 3pm all the way till 8pm! Although the buffet ended at 5.30pm, we just sat there to talk and talk =D

Miss Joanne went back to SHA for like 1 month for holiday and she was telling us about her whole experience and I am SO TEMPTED to go back soon! I really miss everything there!

We left at 8pm cuz we decided not to be mean because other people wanted the seats. It was like freaking crowded so we walked all the way to Paragon's Starbucks to continue our conversations (:

I ordered the same drink!

Angela left already cuz she had something on :(

I asked the 3 Ididots to make their way down where I was because we were meeting for a movie later. Joanne and YJ was nice enough to accompany me until like 10pm-ish before they arrived!

The world is very small, I1's girlfriend is actually friends with Joanne! So I sort of made them meet each other (:

Joanne and YJ left, while the 5 of us went to Cine for our movie. Oh, I1's finally out of camp and he's BOTAK!

We watched Don't Mess with the Zohan. Damn funny movie!

It was like 1am-ish after we were done and I was hungry so we went to The Balcony cuz they had affordable pizza and its like 24hours.

Surprisingly they had seats upstairs!

Took a lot of photos. I shall let the photos do the talking now.

Another botak one!

He's stoning already.

And then he wanted to sleep.

Literally a forced smile.

Mudskipper.

I1 & I2

The very crazy Mudskipper.

Our shoes!

Mudskipper, I1
Kim, I3

I stole I1's cap and it was VERY oversized!

The couple.

I love their pizza (:

Very greedy fingers.

Meet Wendy (:

It looks as if I have a chin implant here but I DONT.

Shaolin monk?

We over-ordered. 12 chicken wings! We thought it'd be those small winglets!

Mudskipper was cranky I guess.

I like the lights at the back.

Wendy spotted my eyeslashes on my shadow!

Timon made him eat a lot of chicken wings because he lost to Timon at some game they played.

Vodka lime.

2008-06-15T23:49:00.000+08:00

So!

I've really been slacking my ass off for the past whole week =D

It's like, movie almost everyday!

Narnia, Sex and the City, Kung Fu Panda, Hulk.

I swear if there were more movies released this week I would have caught more.

I've also turned nocturnal. Waking up at like 5pm and sleeping at like 3am.

But today sucked.

Because yesterday I woke up at like close to 6pm, I couldn't get to sleep!

I literally went to lie on my bed at like 4am, tossed and turned till 7am, went to cook maggie mee to eat (because I was like freaking hungry in my attempt to diet), fell asleep at like 8am-ish, mum woke me up for a VERY retarded reason, had to wake up at 12pm to drag my ass to Suntec.

I swear I haven't seen THAT MUCH people in a very long time. It was packed like sardines because of the PC show. Somehow, with a growling stomach, I managed to squeeze my way up to level 6 to look for mudskipper (mermaid).

Not long later, we made our way all the way down again for lunch! SUBWAY (:

And then we squeezed all the way back to look for mudskipper (manmaid) because I insisted someone accompany me so I will buy a hard disc.

I almost gave up because of the crowd though. But thankfully I found it! And zomg its PINK! =D

Okay, so after that we sort of slacked at where yj was working to accompany her and I was so tired I needed to find somewhere to sit down.

We walked like super far to find somewhere to sit and in the end decided to head home and not look for yj again.

And while walking through Marina Square, I bought a watch! I'm not going gaga over it yet (maybe because I'm still tired) but I think it looks quite sexy. Or rather, the price is sexy.

I still have the DKNY apple watch in my mind though. Or maybe I should go look for a Juicy Couture one :P

I seriously didn't notice they were of the same colour until I took a photo of it. How bimbotic.

*And did I mention my dad ~~accidently~~ indirectly smashed my clock that I bought from Korea? :(

2008-06-08T18:35:00.000+08:00

And finally I've gotten my fingers to type blogger.com (:

For those that don't already know, I have been (still am) sickkkkk.

My whole Bintan trip was sort of wasted. Sighh.

But nonetheless, let me just blog about it.

Bintan Trip (2-5 June)

Okay, so Melvin's dad picked all of us up and then we went to Keppel Country Club for lunch before he drove us all to Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal so we could board our ferry to Bintan (:

We brought like a lot of stuff. Mainly FOOD.

We had to sit separately cuz there were limited seats left. Everyone was so kiasu.

55 mins later we reached Bintan but we still had to take a bus down to Bintan Lagoon Resort.

Waited at the reception area for the mini-bus to take us to the villa and we made friends with this other family. They had a cute son that's like 3.5 years old. He is super cute!

Turned out that their villa was just next to ours! =D

So the moment we reached our villa, we started unpacking our food.

The chef (Timon) started packing his kitchen while I went around our villa snapping photos (:

YJ and I took the master bed room (:

Comes with a bath tub!

Boy's room. (In the end all of us slept in our rooms for 1 night only)

The other toilet.

Our spoilt buggy :(

The villa (:

While I was busy snapping photos, the chef was already at work cooking our first meal.

Pasta for lunch! (:

We were all very hungry.

Yummy yummy pasta.

With fried eggs!

After lunch, Timon already started marinating the chicken for our dinner!

And Melvin started mopping the floor.

While the both of us just slacked around and cam-whored :P

Having nothing to do in the villa, we decided to call the buggy to bring us to the main area so we could explore a bit.

Everything there is like so expensive though so we didn't buy anything!

In the end we went to the recreation centre and ended up playing Laser Quest!

It was the guys vs the girls.

And that was our score sheet. The guy's won. But hey, I got the highest points! :D

We were super tired and hot we wanted to jump into the pool so we buggy-ed back to our villa and changed.

There were like empty villas opposite ours that had private pools so we wanted to swim there.

We also saw this thingy in our villa and decided to bring it along with us.

BUT when we found an empty villa, the pool was jet black and we couldn't see a thing. I refused to go in and in the end we just walked back to our villa and played poker and mahjong before sleeping.

Oh. And this is the bubble bath Timon made.

Breakfast made by Timon!

I already woke up with a headache but I still managed to smile and eat breakfast.

And then I went back to sleep. I don't know what the rest did but I think they slacked around and fell asleep too.

And from nowhere, I remember Timon shoving a thermometer in my mouth. 39.2degrees.

Timon cooked lunch(?)

I went back to sleep. In the end the 2 guys went to the nearby town to have a look while YJ accompanied me.

I was like sleeping the whole day lah. They bought Panadol back for me and after popping it in my mouth I went back to sleep again.

Good thing by evening I was feeling better and my temperature dropped, albeit feverish, so we went to the BEACH!

We had to go down this sand thingy and still feeling a bit light-headed I slipped and made a dent. How clumsy.

All 4 of us.

An attempt to get our names down.

I could still jump.

And do this (:

Check the water out.

Skinny and I.

The 2 boys.

The youngest.

Emo.

And then it got dark (yes, that's us).

We found an empty swimming pool that had a lamp post nearby :D

Suck it in!

Look at the background. Someone's doing a handstand!

And underwater too.

We swam until it was pitch dark and we heard toads croaking and I freaked out. And then maybe because we were making too much noise, the security guard came so we sort of got chased back to our villa.

I then cooked the chicken pieces! Haha. Ok fine. I didn't cook all of them. we took turns cuz we had to bathe.

We had to hang our wet clothes to dry cuz we didn't swim in appropriate swimwear!

Yummy chicken that had been marinated by Timon, Melvin and I.

Eat!

We cooked too many pieces and had quite a bit of leftovers so we brought a plate to our neighbour!

That's Isacc. He is so cute! He had 2 other cousins but they were like so shy.

All 4 of us with him.

I swear I haven't stuck a thermometer in my mouth so many times within 3 days.

Sexy shorts.

I know how to play Mahjong already (somewhat).

And then we switched to playing Texas Holdem, Poker and Blackjack.

Card games were out and they started to prepare to drink while I ate my maggie mee.

And we move on to day 3.

And I am still sick.

Thats why I said we only used our rooms for 1 night. We spent the next 3 nights sleeping in the living room with the mattresses provided :D

Anws. I managed to drag myself out of the house to go to the town area. All 4 of us went (: Took the shuttle bus down but I didn't buy a single thing. We stocked up on eggs though but forgot to buy drinks!

After coming back I KO-ed again. Must be the stupid heat. Mel and YJ took a visit to the beach while Timon stayed back to accompany me.

And at night, the boys took out the float thing to use at another unused swimming pool.

Say hello to my sick face.

Thats what I had to eat when they ate fried rice. I couldn't taste a single thing.

Timon then cooked steak! Ok I could taste this one! YUMMY.

Medium-rare is the sex.

And I think we played more of Texas Holdem and Poker and watched tv before sleeping (:

Finally, my second visit to the beach!

Thats the closest I got to the sea :(

Can you believe we just woke up.

While waiting for the bus to bring us to the ferry terminal.

Okay, so that sums up my whole Bintan trip. No sun-tanning, playing at the beach. :(

I didn't even get to wear my bikini!

Being sick on holiday sucks big time.

2008-05-31T20:06:00.001+08:00

I've been procrastinating about blogging about my Korea trip for too long already!

And I'm going to Bintan in like 2 days time.

Finally, May is over. The everyday trail thing is finally done. It ended off with a 2 day Amazing Race for primary schools from North, South, East and West zones @ NUS High School.

And besides working, I've also officially graduated from NP.

Graduation ceremony was on Wednesday (:

I'm gonna miss the life I had in Ngee Ann.

Anw. Here are the photos! =D (they are so random because I can't be bothered to arrange it properly)

3 years of being classmates (:

That's Mr. Muscular/buff/big sized. Haha.

TB12 people in year 1.

The first person I got to know in NP.

FMGT with Mr Mark Tan. Hated the module but thank god the lecturer/tutor was funny.

Ms April Ng!

I loved BLAW because of him.

My parents came. Sort of regretted not bothering about asking my aunts and grandma to come.

The almost complete TR01.

TRM cohort.

KC, Lav, Kim, YJ, Yas, Karen.

My receipt (:

Han Loon.

Mr. Andy Oh.

There were TOO LITTLE TRM lecturers there! Ms Ho and Mr Chiam was missing. Mr Pang and Ms Cheng arn't in Singapore. And Mr Tham isn't here anymore.

So yes. Back to work. NUS High was quite fun to work at. We had to do registration, give out goodie bags, be station masters, score tabulators for those 2 days.

It was fun because of the facils and it was quite a big scale event. A spoiler would be that one particular person that was also working. If that person wasn't there I swear it would have been perfect (:

And also NUS High is like damn near my place so I cabbed down for the 2 days because I was just pure lazy. If I had taken the bus I would need to walk ALL THE WAY in lahh.

I only took a few photos because we were like so busy most of the time.

Those were the goodie bags given to the kids. Kahar had like A LOT of them on him.

There were 15 facils all together. But why only 14 names? Who's missing? :D Haha that loser.

All 14 of us pasted that sticker on the top left hand corner of our shirt. Just above the Z logo (: And this was my spot for the full 2 days.

Kids that came to my station to complete the worksheet. A lof them asked me why I painted my nails different colours. I told them "becaue I wanted to match it with the colourful stickers I had" :D

The things they needed to look at for my station. Pentagons & Hexagons. Interior angles and tesselation.

Kang Hao, Kim, Shikin. Just look how tired our faces are.

What we needed to do after the whole race. TABULATE SCORES.

Tat Hong took a video!

And also, we needed to arrange the worksheets in groups. So the 10 station masters started passing papers down the circle. We were like a production factory.

And just look at that smile of his. Haha. It's his last trail before he enters the Army.

2008-05-24T21:56:00.001+08:00

Shitload of stuff have been happening since after coming back from Korea.

And I still haven't found the time to blog about it.

Super moody now. Or rather, moodless. Don't feel like doing anything but there's like work to complete.

I haven't even found time to pack my stuff. I haven't unpacked my luggage and yet I'm going overseas again in like a weeks time (?)

Don't know why I'm so affected by this issue. I think I'm already over this issue but another issue just pops up.

It's fustrating to know you can't do anything about it.

I know it sounds selfish but I can't wait for the getaway again. Seems like going overseas has been my excuse for running away.

2008-05-24T21:56:00.000+08:00

2008-05-18T14:46:00.000+08:00

Yesterday night Melvin and Timon came over to my place to slack (:

And we did the most hilarious thing. I started accessorizing them with all my stuff! Sadly they did the same thing to me too.

And then I started putting make-up for those 2!

I think they are the only gutsy guys I know that are willing to allow me to put make-up on them :D :D

And look at this effect of Melvin trying to be buff. I think he looks like a mudskipper in the original photo.

He's destined to be a mudskipper because Melvin Sim (MS) = Mud Skipper (MS) :D

2008-05-17T17:01:00.000+08:00

I'm back from Korea! (:

It was a blast! Shitloads of photos and I don't have the time to sort them out. Will blog about it when I'm free.

In the mean time, let me blog about the days after I came back from Korea.

Touch down at around 9.30pm and reached home at like 11pm and I had to wake up at like 5.30am cuz I had trails to do! I know I'm mad.

I had to make my way there myself and because I was unfamiliar with Woodlands, Melvin accompanied me to the school cuz he was also going to school after that :D

It was a race at Vivo and thankfully I was a station master of a station that had 2 classes coming only (: So it wasn't as tiring.

Then the afternoon trail was at Army Museum. I have never been there in my life! All the facils cabbed down to the school (at Tampines!) and off we went to Army Museum (at Jurong).

Thank goodness I partnered Kahar and he talked all the way on the bus (:

It was a race again so another station master task. The plus point was that I saw quite a lot of army guys there! :D There was also 2 facils per station so it was qutie easy.

I was even free at times to snap photos and run to another station! :D Haha.

After the race, I was dead. Thank goodness Dionne cabbed and sent me to my place. The moment I got on the cab I fell asleep.

And no. I didn't get to rest the day after. I had a double trail again.

Vivo Race in the morning. This time round I got to meet at the venue (: It was for South 5 Cluster Schools. Quite cool but it was GUIDED. That measn 1 facil was in charge of a group of 6 students and had to run with them.

But it wasn't that bad in the end. It was actually quite fun.

After that I had to rush down to Singapore River for another race. There was like no time to go down to the school (at Seng Kang) so we met at the venue instead.

It was a lucky day cuz 2 trails and I didn't have to do any bus briefings at all! This is so rare.

I was stationed at Esplanade Park; where the Lim Bo Seng memorial was. It was a bad thing because for the first 45mins there was no a single soul there.

In the end we realized that a lot of students ran to Esplanade itself because the clue stated so. So Song Hua had to go to Esplanade to find them and bring them back.

If the students ran along the path I was at I would have seen them but they told me they used the main bridge and ended up at Esplanade.

After the end of the trail, Kang Hao and I walked over to Esplande to look for Timon. We slacked at the sofa area waiting for Melvin to join us.

So I started to cam-whore! :D

Timon was drawing on my Z file.

Thats the Lotte chocolate I bought from Korea! 72% cacao!

I love my new pen. Super bimbotic but it's cute!

Timon is pissed because ___________.

And I started cam-whoring with my favourite pen (:

I forced KH to look gay with it.

And Timon too!

Love love love the pen.

Timon was already ignoring me.

See.

Sadly the pen in made in China.

Sunflowers for my Z file (:

And then I started cam-whoring with the water bottles!

We bought like 3 1.5l bottled waters for the SG River race. The weather can kill!

And then we were comparing head sizes. I had the smallest head :(

Almost every I has a Z file :D

Love my nails too!

Look who's injured.

And Timon is still pissed.

I gave Timon something to do though. Besides drawing ferns on my file, I brought along those stickers we took from Holy Innocents' race, so he did this!

Melvin finally arrived after being half an hour late.

While Timon was busy pasting stickers on my back.

We then made our way to Marina Square for dinner. And I saw this (:

Nice view but look who came into the photo :P

Melvin was laughing at them. And he was nice enough to take my bag for me (:

We finally settled at Suki Sushi (:

The guys took a lot of food.

Thats ice cream!

We had to "cook" it?

There was sorbet too (:

Who's arms who's?

We ate until close to 10pm and headed for the taxi stand cuz Kang Hao could claim cab fare. He was going back to the office so I got a free cab ride home :D

Headed straight to lala land the moment I reached home and I'm thankful that I have 3 days break before working again.

2008-05-07T13:36:00.002+08:00

I passed my Basic Theory Test! It's a miracle! :D

Going to Korea for like a week now (: Back next Wed.

It's like 3.30pm and I haven't finished packing my luggage. Leaving the house at like 6pm cuz we're having dinner at the airport with Timon and Melvin (:

And my luggage ~~bad~~ bag is DAMN SMALL.

On a side note, so THIS is how a mudskipper looks like! I didn't know lah. I thought it was some insect stick looking thingy.

It looks very funny but disgusting.

*photo courtesy of YJ's blog.

And are you sure that thing is a FISH?! Oh well, weird creatures around I guess. I wouldn't wanna go near that fish.

And yes. The eyes just look like some of my friends (:

Oh well, I think my next post will be like in June cuz it's work non-stop after I come back.

Another getaway from Singapore. We're gonna have a blast!

2008-05-05T19:09:00.001+08:00

You know it's been a very long time when you decide to meet someone at Clementi Mac at night because it's open 24hours.

Don't laugh. But we seriously didn't know that whole area was closed for renovations! And thinking back, when was the last time I visited Clementi?

6months in Shanghai + 3 months after I came back (I came back for 3 months already?! Oh gawd.) + a few months before I went to Shanghai = close to a year?
I doubt it's 1 year but it's close. And to think that was my hangout place when I was in Secondary school. And while driving around that night with Fara we made it a point to pass NTSS and both of us realized it's been 3.5 years since we've stepped out of that place!

And all my male friends are going to the army soon :(

Okay, enough rattling about how old I'm getting and how time flies.

Oh. I think the internet is a wonderful place. I just found out something gossipy. I know I'm damn mean but I did not TRY to poke my nose into people's lives. I don't think I'm supposed to know about this issue but yeah, it's VERY juicy and I can't wait to bitch about it (:

It was 'maybe' then, but now it's true. Oh don't you just love the internet.

I was like supposed to be studying for my BTT today because the test is like TOMORROW but blame msn, friendster and blogs. Okay fine, I was watching 8 Simple Rules while the air-con guy came to install the air-con (yes, finally my brother's room is air conditioned and I'm just waiting for my turn) and wanted to study after he left but the internet was more tempting :D

Talking about TV, Prison Break 3 is showing on Channel 5 tonight! Oh, Wentworth Miller (: But who will actually wanna watch 1 hour of Prison Break with commercials in between a week man. I want the DVD. I wish I was still in Shanghai because I can get like the whole season with $1.60.

Oh. And also because I found Maple Syrup at home I decided to fix myself french toast for lunch on a random day (:

Okay, now this is what I wanted to blog about.

I wasted my whole Saturday sleeping until like close to 5pm (:

And spent Sunday out and about.

Daddy and I went down to meet my uncle and Aunty Irene and we drove to have prata for lunch. Apparently it's famous for prata but I'm not a prata person so I don't know what is good or bad prata. To me, oily prata is bad prata (:

Rightt. After that we sent my uncle to the airport because he's going overseas (again) then we slacked at my aunty's place. Played with Morgan until he wanted to go swimming before his swimming lesson.

Slacked by the pool and watched him learn swimming and omg. His swimming instructor is hotness (: I brought my book so I could try to study by the pool cuz I was alone and my aunt went back to her place to cook dessert so I was sort of watching Morgan. BUT I couldn't concentrate. Hahaha. Well, I had an excuse to stare because my baby cousin was swimming and I wanted to ~~look~~ keep an eye on him! =D

I just hope I don't have to look at this book again after tomorrow.

And after that we drove to collect the cake for my brother's birthday before going to my grandma's place.

It's not his b'dae yet but next weekend I won't be in Singapore so we're celebrating early. 2 cakes - chocolate and durian cuz my brother is the sore thumb of the house (he doesn't eat durian).

The new place. I haven't taken photos of the 36th floor flat yet.

Look at his lashes. EVERY girl will be jealous.

I did say my phone was back right?

But did I say the stupid touchpads are still not very sensitive? Time for a new phone.

And this, is my new photo for my lappy. It's so not me to not put a picture I took but I think it's cool. Until I get bored of it (:

I need to get my nails done. They are still fragile from the gel fake nails I got in Shanghai :(

2008-05-02T14:39:00.000+08:00

I will try once more.

2008-05-01T20:37:00.000+08:00

It's not that I didn't try. But it's just impossible. I swear I'll never do it again.

Guess what. I haven't been staying at home as planned!

And I've met up with FARA. Haven't seen her since the day I left for Shanghai! Miss that babe. And she finally got her license. And we were driving around late at night directionless. Good thing we didn't get lost (:

Oh. She let me try to drive for a bit. But I think I sort of freaked out. Haha. It's gonna be AGES before I get my license.

I once read that girls will look for husbands with qualities that resemble their father. Turn it 180 degrees for me please.
I am so not in a good mood right now.

2008-04-28T22:47:00.000+08:00

3 Z shirts just popped up! But it's all in size M -.-

Anws. I finally stepped out of the house today (:

Timon came over in the morning to help me carry my feedback forms to the office despite his "injured" neck. Thank you I believe I paid back the favour already :P

Slacked at office for a bit before going down to Hans with Juvina to watch Timon eat while we ordered smoothies that taste like shit.

Then I was like SO lazy I decided to cab from office to that LG Service Centre to GET MY PHONE.

That stupid place is like SO far in and I refuse to walk in the hot humid weather so I got the cab uncle to drive all the way in and wait while Timon went in to get my phone. I know. Cab fares are freaking expensive but I will never walk all the way in and out to the Service Centre with that kinda weather.

I waited for like 10mins in the cab. And I read the fare meter thingy pasted on the window. Every 45 seconds of waiting or part thereof will cost 20cents! So I sort of burned $3+ just purely waiting in the cab (without full blast air con turned on).

After he got my phone we cabbed down to Vivo and the air-con was so welcoming!

And yes. I've FINALLY gotten my phone back. BUT I had a hard time adjusting to the keypads to sms.

We watched Forbidden Kingdom and then parted ways while I went home to catch a few more episodes of 8 Simple Rules before walking down to HV.

Dinner at Timon's working place (again. I think I am very rich or something) this time round with Dionne, Joanne, Yvonne, Juvina and Kang Hao. Melvin and Timon were there too.

And yay! Melvin lent me the book so I can study for my BTT! But the moment I started flipping the book, I think I might just fail. Help (?)

2008-04-27T23:04:00.000+08:00

So basically I've been hibernating at home.

I just refuse to go out and all my meals are bought my mummy dearest (:

My routine for the past few days (I lost count, but trust me it isn't THAT many):
Eat
Sleep
Watch Tv
Use the computer

And the cycle goes on.

Okay, I wasn't really slacking. I was like busy doing feedback forms also. *ahem so I am working! :D

But I've been sleeping at like 2-3am and waking up at like 4pm. And only eating 1 meal a day. Perfect dieting solution! It's just not proven that it works yet.

My life is boring. The only highlight starts from 6th May.

And I'm sort of freaking out for my BTT on 6th May becauseee I don't have the book to study yet! I think all my friends died or something because I just can't get hold of them. If I don't see them online it means I can't contact them because my stupid phone is still not collected and I'm using this toy phone that has like less than 10 contact numbers (90% are Z people). Okay, and I just realized that it's my own fault for being lazy to not go down and get my phone when it has already been repaired eons ago!

Maybe from Tuesday onwards I should stay at home to study. I know some clever people don't really need to study for that test and still pass but I can't really take any chances because I have like 0 knowledge about driving. I have a feeling it'd be like studying for a foreign language. Omg.

But step 1 is to get my hands on the book! Tmr tmr. Hopefully.

I have plans tmr! But I'm gonna burn a big hole in my pocket :(

2008-04-23T19:35:00.000+08:00

This will be an imageless post.

The second day of PLMGS was worse than the first day. We had to go into the National Orchid Graden (which I paid $1 to enter) and in my opinion that place is quite useless. I was seriously expecting more. Haha.

The girls I had were so-so (I heard I took the best class yesterday so I can't compare) but they hated the class I took ytd. They told me they were fake, proud, mean etc. Bitches in the making I suppose!

But I liked the class on the first day cuz they made my life easier. Smart, responsive and somewhat likeable (:

And did I mention that I made a girl cry on the second day? I know I am so mean but I really cannot stand her "xiao jie" attitude.

Enough about the longest botanic trail I've done in Z hisotry. It bores me!

BUT everytime after Botanics trail now, we can just go to Island Creamery for ice cream! Because we would tompang the bus out to the main road and the uncle will stop us very very near Serene Centre! (:

More plus points for Botanic trails. This is like the only outdoor trail that I am willing to do (Sentosa doesn't count because I refuse to do guided).

And on Sunday, we (I1, I3, U2) went to I2's house to play Mahjong. Obviously I didn't play so I hogged his TV the whole time. There were like no interesting shows so I started playing the first season of Prison Break and got all of them hooked on! I was just wanting to pass time and have Wentworth Miller on TV (:

Even the guys thinks he's HOT :D

(okay, so it's not an imageless post after all)

I could have taken lots of photos of his cute dog but I was just lazy. I also brought nail polish there cuz I know I would have nothing to do. Haha.

In the end we ordered Macs for dinner because I was glued to the TV with my hot guy but we had to stop watching at like 10+ :( And I suppose my Prison Break DVD will not be in my hands anytime soon cuz I1, I2 and I3 are all hooked on.

Oh. Finally our Korea trip is settled settled. We paid up the full amount on Monday :D Can't wait! Like, 13 days more only. How fast!

But something super unlucky happened to me on that particular afternoon before I met YJ and Yasmin. I wanted to eat lunch before going out and there was Mee Siam in the fridge. So, I took it out, and the gravy was in a seperate bag.

I was opening the bag and I don't know what happened but it just slipped out of my hands and PLOP it landed on the table. And I spent like half an hour cleaning and mopping that area of the kitchen. And I ended up not eating lunch :(

And on Tuesday I did my last trail (my next trail will be after I come back from Korea which is a long long time later) @ Vivo.

I tell you. The world is damn small. One of the teacher's following the kids out is my sec sch senior! Think that's coincidental enough? How about her form class is the class that I am in-charge of? Yes. And although there were 4 facils in that class, she had to follow the group I took.

I had like 11 students only and it was quite an easy job. A poor boy from Herbert's class fell and fractured his arm though. And the initial plan after Vivo trail was to go down to collect my phone BUT it didnt happen!

Somehow or rather, Timon followed the bus back so I had no choice and followed my bus back all the way to the west. But during the whole bus trip, I was like talking to the "teacher" so it wasn't that bad after all.

But going down to the school was so pointless. We ate there and then bus-ed down to JP to watch Dionne eat and gossip. I mean, we could have done that at Vivo and not waste expenses traveling. Public transport is so expensive now w/o concession! Ugh.

And today, although I didn't have any trail to do, I woke up early and went down to a school. My brother's school. To accompany my mum to see his teacher. And after that we went to look for my grandma and just walked around HV until I had to go down to NTPS.

Met Dionne and Timon and we cabbed down to office cuz I needed to return and collect stuff.

Omg. My life suddenly feels damn boring. And I can't stand how wordy this post is.

Now I just need to get my hands on the book to study for my BTT and off I go to Korea for holiday! :D

I think I'll just die when I come back with the amount of trails there are.

2008-04-17T18:22:00.000+08:00

Botanics, Botanics, Botanics.

Ferns, Figs, Tembusu, Simpoh Air, Orchids, Gingers, Heliconias etc.

I've never talked plant for so many days in a week.

Okay, its only 3 trails this week at Botanics BUT its the only 3 trails I'm doing.

On tuesday I did an afternoon trail there (yes, afternoon and I almost died of humid-ness). Didn't have very good kids though. I had to hold 2 boys hands while walking back to the meeting point.

And after the trail, the Z people met up (: Cuz only YJ and I were doing Botanics trail and I3 was at Sentosa and I1 did morning Sungei Buloh and I2 was in school, we all met for dinner! Oh, not to forget YJ's sis as well.

In the end we settled for Pasta at Taka and after that I left them cuz they wanted to play Mahjong. Hmmm. Apparently the night didn't end just like that but I shan't say anything more.

And on Wednesday I met YJ to head to Sentosa to tan!

I didn't realize I was already quite black until I sat myself beside YJ. Her fairness was how fair I was when I just came back from Shanghai. So obviously she was the one that needed to tan!

LOOK AT THE COLOUR DIFFERENCE (that was before tanning)!

And while tanning, she was on the phone GOSSIPING. I could like hear the other party on the other line lah so she didn't need to tell me anything (:

I self-entertained while eavesdropping on her conversation! Omg I can multi-task!

In the end, I3 came over to Sentosa to look for us! And guess what.

HE COOKED LUNCH FOR THE BOTH OF US :D :D :D

And we spent almost the whole afternoon soaking in sea water until we decided to bathe and get out of Sentosa (:

And there we are showing off the Horlicks candy! I finally met YH to get it from him. Hahaha. He only gave me 9 packets. But, it's sufficient to satisfy my craving. Try finding it selling in shops. I doubt you can get them anymore.

I gave I1, 2, 3 and U2 a packet each (:

We accompanied I3 to eat first before he left and the both us then went to hunt for Aloe Vera gel. YJ's burnt! Her back is as red as a cooked lobster's.

After doing all the necessary, we slacked at the Sky Park waiting for I2 to join us cuz we bought tickets to watch Vantage Point.

Cam-whored cuz we had nothing better to do. Oh, there was another phone call and something else to gossip about. But that's old news already cuz we already know first hand (:

One nice and normal photo.

Our H&M bags! :D

And a few more not-so-normal photos. And she has a new nickname- Mud skipper (:

But the main point wasn't the movie, it was the after-movie.

Turned out to be a disappointment though (both the movie and the after-movie). Okay, I shan't be THAT mean. Hahaha. The movie wasn't as good as expected and the after-movie.. we'll, lets just say we were expecting a bit more :D

Okay enough about gossiping! But you'd have to admit that gossips sure make life a bit more interesting (:

Today! Trail. At what time? Neither morning or afternoon trail.

Met the students at 10am. PLMGPS Pri 3.

I haven't done such a long Botanics (or any other) trail before. 4 hours. To make things worse, there were only 4 stations (all located VERY near each other)!

I intentionally took my own sweet time but in the end I had like 2 hours to spare after giving them a half an hour LUNCH break and doing the questions like a snail. The kids are just too smart. I didn't even need to explain much and they wrote all the answers down already.

So, Dionne led the way to the Evolution Garden (my first time there). It was quite far out though (like, after the Visitor's Centre. We walked from the Ginger Garden btw).

I toured them 1 whole round the Evolution Garden and brought them back to the Symphony Stage. I had like 1 hour left.

In the end the girls just kept feeding the fishes and tortoises food at the pond. The bunch I took today were very nice (although they are super loud!) but it's good cuz they are responsive.

The draggy trail finally ended and we tompang-ed Dionne's cab to HV. I3 and I went to eat our lunch at Coffee Club and then, he went to do something dramatic.

I recorded down the whole process. Look!

Before.

After.

Hahahahahaha.

Say hello to the new Timon Teo.

Same trail again tmr! I shall draaaaag time.

2008-04-14T14:38:00.000+08:00

Omg. No words can express how I feel now. I seriously MISS the 6 months that I spent in Shanghai for OIAP!!

I was like, damn free (quite rare these days) cuz I woke up earlier than expected (I actually woke up with a craving for hotcakes and milo mcflury!) and I couldn't force sleep myself.

And because my new love (T300) is not by my side *stares at I3* I went to search for my FX7.

That camera served me good for the past 3 years (?) and it sort of survived thru my OIAP. So kudos to it :P

Anws, I realized that there were like more photos/videos of Shanghai inside my SD card from my FX7 so I transfered them all into my lappy.

I then started watching the videos we took (not a lot but substantial enough) and all the memories just started flowing back. And I think my brother thinks I'm mad because I broke into uncontrollable laughter (a few times) while staring at my lappy.

And since I am like so free I decided to post some videos we took back then. We look the most unglam though but who cares. The videos take FOREVER to upload lah.

*********

Okay, this video clip was taken during the staff outing. We went to like Yang Cheng Hu for hairy crabs. And along the streets, obviously a lot of people were selling hairy crabs but this video shows a chicken instead! Gore gore gore. I swear this is the freshest chicken one can get.

This video (one of the many we attempted to take) was taken a few nights before we flew back to Singapore. The director of wine bought like a lot of fireworks and firecrackers for us to play with! :D It was still illegal when we lit them up cuz it wasn't CNY yet. But hey, we didn't get caught!

Now, this video is a classic. One of the few we took of our apartment (or room if you choose to call it because our apartment is only 1 room big). This is almost the messiest it got. During the 6 months, the girls TRIED packing from time to time but when it was nearing the end we just didn't bother anymore cuz we were so busy with packing, projects and going out.

And this video was taken right at the begining when we just moved into the room! SO NEAT. But yeah, this is how small our accommodation was. Imagine 4 girls having to live together in that small space. We need to thank our lucky stars that all of us got along very well (: If not, I think it would have been disastrous!

And lastly, who said Shanghai wouldn't snow during winter? I swear we were the luckiest bunch because when we were there it snowed like mad and it was the heaviest snow in Shanghai ever! The video's crap though cuz YJ and I were running in the cold trying to hail for a cab down to SLPU to settle admin stuff (cuz it was like our last few days there).

*********

Okay to end of, I felt the need to take a photo of this. Classic. I hid all the papers underneath my coffee table otherwise my dad/mum would start nagging non-stop. This is what I'm busy with most of the time that I'm online.

And yeah, today is the day where I start using my new organizer. Which means, it's the start of the new term in school. BUT I don't have school anymore :(

Flipping back, I don't know how I managed to survive through everything. Countless project deadlines and presentations, juggling work and school, preparing for exams and OIAP and dealing with the loss of my dear lecturer.

So I'll put my old organizer aside now and close that year's happenings. I'll miss OIAP most. And school. And Mr. Tham.

2008-04-12T13:04:00.000+08:00

I just slept for like 19 hours (:

So, after my Maggie Mee lunch (I've been eating maggie a lot these days) I've decided to RE-blog. Stupid blogger closed on me the other day when I was typing half way and didn't save anything! :(

Rightt. So where did I last stop. Okay, it was like LAST Sunday.

Was quite a weird combination of events I went to cuz in the afternoon I went down to Mandai Cremation and Columbarium. Yes, it's that time of the year again. But this year, it wasn't fun at all. Almost everyone was in a foul mood because of some reason and to make things worse, it poured.

With that, no photos this year. Well, there'll always be next year.

My uncle then fetched me home so I could bathe and change before heading over to Timon's place. Was waiting for Kang Hao and him to get ready. We were preparing to go to Melvin's sister's wedding dinner.

And this is the classic photo of the night (:

And guess what happened on Monday!

I did a trail for Maha Bodhi Pri. For those that know me well enough will know what had happened between me and that particular someone from that school.

But it's been quite sometime already so I decided to just sign up for that trail and WORK.

I'm just thankful that T3 is huge and a parent volunteer was following me so despite the 7 kids I had from his class, he didn't follow me at all.

After the trail, Melvin came down to look for us and a lot of us (Melvin, Kang Hao, Timon, Nur, Hadi, Shikin, Vanessa and I) went to watch Horton!

The movie's so cute and funny! But some people fell asleep (must be the after-trail syndrome).

These 5 then went to I-don't-know-what-place to play pool.

My remaining 4 days of the week was spent at Holy Innocent's Pri cuz they had an Amazing Race in the school.

A pity only Melvin and I were working otherwise it'd be much more fun if Timon, Kang Hao and YJ was there!

There were only 6 facils working and no coordinator (:

The good thing was that we were being paid a bit more for this job. The bad side was that the school was situated in Hougang and I cabbed down for all days!

It was a relatively easy job though. I was in-charge of the beginning part of the race and at every hour a class would come down and I would brief them before they started. So, I repeated myself 18 times for those 4 days.

Anws, there was this hot p.e teacher at the school! Hahaha. He was like my eye-candy for those days cuz I was quite bored when the race was taking place. I had nothing to do already!

And because Melvin was in-charge of the ending part only, the both of us had quite a lot of free time so we cam-whored! (:

We went to look for Kahar at the Holy Family Garden where he was stationed at!

The victim when I get bored.

We had like, neon stickers to play with so we started drawing and pasting them all over :P

And the day when I forgot to bring my camera. We were trying out the function's of Melvin's phone!

And in these 4 days, I also worked for a Singapore River race and also a guided trail at Vivo for a bunch of Sec 4s! Yes, Sec 4 GUIDED trail. I thought I'd drop dead but they proved me wrong. These sec 4's were great and nice (:

In total, Nur and I only had like 14 students with us! And both of us were bringing them around together.

And during one of the days where we didn't have double trail, Timon met Melvin and I for Japanese buffet lunch!

Meet these 2. They are not GAY btw.

This was my creation :P

We sort of over-ordered?

And this is Timon proving he has a big mouth.

(hespatitoutintheendthough)

With nothing to do, we then cabbed down to Melvin's house.

The difference of doing a trail and not working for 1 day.

We were waiting for Kang Hao to come so we could play Mahjong (no, I still don't quite know how to play) so we just slacked and stonned in his room for awhile.

And we found Mr. Bean's bear!

Meet Jacky. I think he's super cute (:

So Kang Hao finally arrived and we started playing. I seriously thought I was gonna lose like crazy at the end of the day and I did! But the guys were nice enough and in the end we didn't play with money. Otherwise I'd need to pay Melvin $20+!

Oh and did I mention that I did another Zoo trail? This time round I'd really gotten lost cuz the route was different! Thank god Dionne was there to secretly guide me :P

And while watching the Elephant Show with the kids, we saw one shit and pee. And she pee-ed like a shower hose! Hahahaha.

Oh and on Tuesday I went tanning with bestie at Sentosa! We reached at like 8.30am and it was like a ghost town!

And we saw this girl tanning without her bikini top :o

There wasn't much result though cuz of a lot of stupid passing clouds! We left at around noon time cuz the babe needed to go for an interview.

I then went to meet Timon for lunch at Vivo and then to Toys "R" Us to get that huge ass Elmo!

He was carrying it like a bag!

Tat Elmo he got was seriously cute though. But it cost $50 otherwise I might just consider buying it and chucking it in my room!

We were sort of like craving for ice-cream and instead of going to either Ben & Jerry's or Haagen Dazs to get a scoop, we trotted off to Giant instead!

Because someone said buying a tub from there is way much more worth it than eating a scoop at the shop.

So off we went to Giant and saw promotions for 2 tubs. We each got a tub and I realized that we didn't have spoons! So we bought these long plastic spoons for like 95cents for 4!

We then went out to the Sky Park to indulge!

Yess, we ate with the 2 longest spoons. Hahaha.

It then started raining so we went down to the Play Court.

Timon Teo is crazy he finished the whole tub in like 20mins!

He almost ended up puking though.

I, on the other hand failed miserably and only ate like 1/2 the tub.

That was my max. Anymore and I would explode. Hahaha.

I think I just gained like a few kilos.

And on Wed night, YJ, YT, Melvin, Timon and I went to have dinner at the restaurant Timon was working at. This guy IS mad. We ordered A LOT of food! Our bill amounted up to $200+.

Photos of that next time cuz it's in YT's camera!

2008-03-29T18:48:00.000+08:00

I love love love my Sony T300! :D :D :D

Hahahaha. Okayyyy. Finally I've the time to come online and stay on the computer for more than an hour this week. I have like feedback forms to do but first I see the need to update my blog!!

Why? Becauseeeee... I have a lot of photos!! :D

Okay where shall I start.

Ah. ISLAND CREAMERY!!

After the Zoo briefing, Kang Hao (I1), Timon (I3) and I (U1) finally made our way down to Island Creamery! We were deciding between Daily Scoop or Island Creamery but since Melvin (I2) needed to go to Turf City he tompang-ed us in his cab and Serene Centre was nearer than Sunset Way.

The 3 of us talked the WHOLE night. Like, really talk. Not bitch or gossip. Like, serious talk okayy!!

But of course, we got a bit crazy here and there through the night too (:

Like finally, Teh Tarik ice cream!!

Look, I'm just minding my own business enjoying my ice-cream and these 2 will just self-entertain themselves :D

I think I3 got a bit bored so he started drawing.

Judge for yourself. Lol.

And then it was my turn. Blame trails cuz we have to bring pens out! And I chose to bring my whole pencil box :P

1 very normal photo. Only ONE btw.

And then this happened.

Ya lah. I'm a slut okayy. Hahaha! I swear when we were trying to take these photos people sitting opposite us burst out in uncontrollable laughter!

Especially when I was trying to take this shot...

(: Photo of the week I tell you!

Okay. Moving on. The next day we had I don't know what trail at I can't remember which school. OH. Okay. I remember now. KCPP @ Botanics Day 1! Yes. Cuz I3 and I decided to bring clothes to change afterwards and we forgot to tell I1. Aiyah after Botanics trail super sticky and sweaty what. So we need to be vain once in awhile!

And because we couldn't figure out what to eat for lunch. We just went to eat Sushi buffet cuz all of us were starving after Botanics trail!

We were starving. Like really.

And another classic photo of I1 & I3.

If you realized, I2 is MIA cuz he's busy with his sis's wedding preps. And U2 is holidaying in Japan.

Next next. KCPP @ Botanic's again. This time round, I had Dionne's cab! :D

It was her birthday so I2 bought a cake and brought it to the school!

We cut cake sing song before going up to the classrooms! Haha. All 9 facils + Dionne finished up the whole cake before starting work (:

And I loved my class for KCPP the second day!

The satisfaction of being a facil (:

Ok. Moving on! (Yeah, I'm like writing this in a rush cuz I ~~want~~ need do feedback forms!)

Oh btw. I removed my gel nails already. Didn't want to give $40 to the manicurist so I spent like 4 hours doing it myself!

Then after Zoo trail (oh did I mention I don't like Zoo trails?! Bad experience maybe. Sighhh.) I forced myself to go get my nails done. Been procrastinating for too long already.

Tadah!! Cost me like $35 lah. And my nails are freaking short now :(

And today. Saturday! Amazing Race @ Sentosa for Nan Hua Alumni!

There was a collaboration with HBP so we got free goodie bags as well! The only thing I liked was this.

SO CUTE!

And I think we were supposed to do the Singapore Workout but thank god it didn't happen!

My station! I was like alone.

We had quite a lot of manipulative's today.

Yellow ribbons for Station Masters and blue ribbons for Road Marshall's (:

Whistles to help us get attention.

And stickers to paste on their "passport" Mine was pink! :D

(I was like quite free when the race was about to end thus doing stupid things like pasting stickers on myself)

I wasn't left stranded alone at Images of Singapore though. I had people visiting me from time to time (:

I1 bringing all SM's drinks and snacks. Not to mention our hamster food I3 made the night before (:

Li Yu, I2, Jun Bao (bus partner!) and Kahar came visiting so I started cam-whoring with them to pass time!

Now, this is the bad part of working at Z.

EYE BAGS!!!

Like, you can see everyone has them!

I2 came to visit for quite some time cuz his station was like empty. And I started pasting my stickers all over him!

There are some more on his shoes and I don't know where else.

Anws, there was like this tree beside me and I started being stupid spotting ferns.

And it's spores. (Too many Botanic trails already)

Rightttt.

When the race ended at 12pm, the people on top (Kahar, I2, Li Yu and I) decided to take the Luge down to Beach Stn (meeting point) instead of the monorail cuz it was faster and so much more fun!

Kahar saw his friend working there so it only cost us $4 for a luge ride + the cable car (?) thingy.

Like, my first time lah! Hahaha. And no, I didn't bang into anything.

And as usual, after the Race all of us are like hungry ghosts and went to eat!

Somehow or rather the lot of us ended up sitting at the seats at Vivo and just laughed and laughed. We were playing with the stickers like kids lah.

The end. Bye.
I know my life is so interesting now.

Can't wait for next week! :D :D

2008-03-27T22:20:00.000+08:00

Why do I feel that someone has disappeared?

Oh. Hello.

I've been busy working.

I do not not have a life. I actually enjoy what I'm doing!

Who cares about waking at like 5am every morning.
Who cares about shouting in public places and getting stared at.
Who cares about getting bad/naughty/rowdy kids at times.
Who cares about getting bad teachers/coordinators at times.
Who cares about wearing the bight orange tee and looking like cleaners.
Who cares about the little pay we get (as compared to a FT job I can find elsewhere).
What matters most is the company. Not Pte Ltd company but people company.
The friends I've made working at Z.

Honestly, I've never mixed around with other facils for the past 2 years I've worked at Z. I only chose to work with people I know and just not mix around.

But yeah. Things have changed. After I came back from Shanghai and started working for Z again I met these few jokers. We're forever hanging out after trails.

Bitching, gossiping, complaining etc etc. And the craziest part. They are all guys! Okay, minus YJ lah.

But soon enough the gang of 5 will become lesser and lesser. Cuz life is just not fair sometimes. Okay, life was never fair. But we are trying our best to salvage the situation.

Just some stupid things we do after trails-
EAT- we are like hungry ghosts after trails and we eat at all sorts of places. Mostly food court but sometimes we feel richer :P
Watch movies- blame trails at Vivo cuz GV is just like, there.
Sit down and GOSSIP- because there will forever be something to talk about
Pool- I watch cuz I can't play for nuts
Or just plainly hang out and make fun of each other (:

This is my life now. And I'm enjoying it. I have no plans yet and it's quite worrying but hey, I can survive with Z's pay for now so let me enjoy work when I can (:

I just have to suffer having eye bags and dark circles!

2008-03-21T00:16:00.000+08:00

I know. I should change the layout of my blog or change the photos because it's so outdated already. But I'm just lazy. I don't look at my blog anws. Haha.

Righttt. Finally the week has ended and I came out of it alive!

5 trails in 4 days. Thank goodness most of it is Amazing Race so it was quite slack/easy.

I also did a trail for my primary school but it suckedddd. Maybe cuz I was like tired/sick/coughing/losing my voice thats why I didn't bother a lot for the whole trail. But whatever lahh. I don't like the coordinator and this random person. He has a double slap-me face!

And to end off the week, I did an outdoor trail @ LABRADOR PARK.

Every year, this particular school that goes there, it will RAIN. And yes, it rained this year too. I swear the school is cursed. Haha.

Okay. My stupid phone's touchpad isn't working! So now I'm like using another phone. No contact numbers so each call/sms is a mystery. Haha. And I usually can't be bothered to type smses cuz it's so hard to type now! I shall make it a point to go to the service centre this Saturday.

And I'm going to Sentosa on Sunday! Wheeee! :D :D

2008-03-16T22:18:00.000+08:00

I'm sick. Like, again. Don't know whats wrong with me after coming back from Shanghai.

Anws, YJ and I headed down to the "Study in Aus" Fair at Suntec. It was surprisingly small and quite useless. In the end we went to the Food Fair that was just next door. Haha.

And we chatted until it was time for her to leave while I made my way to Grandma's (:

I like, napped there lah. Must be the stupid flu medicine I took.

Oh yay! More trails from tmr onwards :D

2008-03-15T21:51:00.000+08:00

Hi there.

I had to go down to Vivo for a breifing on logistics for the Amazing Race taking place the coming week (:

And of all places we ate at Marche for lunch which burnt a hole in my pocket :(

Anws, the briefing didn't last very long so we sort of slacked the whole afternoon at Terra Cafe.

Melvin and I then went up to the Sky Park cuz there was some event going on. We literally sat ourselves there and people ~~watched~~ stared.

It was a COSPLAY event luh. We were AMAZED by the effort they took to dress up and the courage to walk on the streets like that. Right.

I swear we could sit there for the whole day if we didn't have plans afterwords!

I then went to meet Timon and we headed down to CSC (?). Yeah. I think I got that right.

I'm using a kuku LG phone now cuz I was nice enough to lend Timon my phone cuz his ran out of batt and he was going out after that.

Okay this is getting boring. Bye.

Ooooh. I can officiall say I've graduated from NP cuz...
.

.

I MISS SCHOOL :( :(

2008-03-15T01:23:00.003+08:00

I hate myself for staying at home the whole day.
I hate having no shows to watch on tv, no feedback forms to do and nothing juicy to read on the internet.
I used to love free time where I could just slack and have some alone time but now...
I hate being free.

Blame it on myself for being a smartie-pants and started surfing Friendster. I hate Friendster. If not for Friendster I wouldn't have found anything.

And I hate the internet. I hate blogs. I accidentally stumbled onto a site which I should have never seen in my life.

Although I dread reading that blog, I couldn't make myself close the window because I wouldn't be able to sleep for the whole night if I didn't scrutinize what I found.
But after looking at it, I think I wouldn't be able to sleep either.

Why is everything the same? It's like the same thing had happened to 2 different people that don't know each other.

This shouldn't be affecting me.

Damn those 6 months in Shanghai. It was supposed to help but it didn't.

But after coming back, I met new friends. Although I don't know them well enough yet, I feel that I should take heed of their advice. It's quite obvious that they mean well and want the best for me. I know. Thank you for your concern.

But sometimes things are easier said than done. No matter what, I think I should make my stand clear. I won't allow it to happen. I won't allow myself to go through an emotional wreck again. Once bitten twice shy.

I swear I hate how I'm feeling now. I know whats best but I can't make myself take that path.

I should just act indifferent

And it sucks that have something on tmr. I hate having to act like I'm fine. But I don't want the people around me questioning what's wrong with me.

2008-03-14T15:24:00.000+08:00

Finally I'm at home today. And I just finished ironing all my (overdue) clothes. So now I can't complain I have no clothes to wear. And now I can't have an excuse to shop.

We were at HV's Swensens on Tuesday night and I was trying out the Smile Detector thingy on my new camera!

And yesterday, I went down to school for some video shoot! I was acting as this crazy girl with depression. LOL. Spent the whole day there. From like 11am until 8pm.

I think I was super unlucky cuz I realized my nail broke when Timon and I was at KAP's Mac.

Bitch. Good thing it didn't chip from the top. It's the bottom half that went missing. So my finger will now be 'injured' and plastered up until like the next time I get my manicure done.

I also lost my tee-shirt and forgot to bring out my flip-flops. So I was like in heels the whole damn day.

After the shoot, we went down to the hawker centre for dinner and after that the 3 idiots and I went to Bukit Timah Plaza cuz they wanted to play pool.

Those are the 3 idiots of Z.

And my name now is U1I7 (:

They tried teaching me how to play. TRIED.

So while they were playing, I was like cam-whoring lah. And it's quite surprising that the 3 idiots don't mind cam-whoring with me. So rare that guys will do this!

A lot of spastic shots cuz we were playing with the Smile Detector thingy (:

2008-03-12T13:15:00.000+08:00

Sony T300 was officially mine yesterday (:

But I burnt a $600 hole in my pocket. I need more trails and fbfs now!!

On a happier note, my mum felt generous and she;s going to sponsor my Korea trip! :D

2008-03-10T19:25:00.000+08:00

Great. I'm like jobless for the rest of this week :(

Today's trail kinda sucked. The students were nice but I didn't have a good partner and I had a bitchy teacher following me.

I think all the teachers from my best friend's pri school are super bitchy. Wth.

Caught 10,000BC after the trail with some Z people. GV seats are totally uncomfortable.

Hopefully I'll get my new camera tmr!

2008-03-08T15:54:00.000+08:00

I thought I'd wake up when the sun had already set today. But nahh, I got up before 3pm (:

I think I'm suffering from STM and it's quite bad because I can't seem to remeber anything that happened the past few days! Must be the tiredness and the amount of trails.

Anws, yesterday's trail was like so easy. Sec 1s @ T3. I didn't need to explain anything. All tasks were completed 45mins earlier so I brought them to T2's Mac for their break.

There was this boy- that liked this girl from another group. Her birthday was the next day so I brought the class to Mini Toons to let them buy stuff and he bought her a b'day present and gave it to her on the spot! He openly declared his love for her lah! Hahaha.

So after the trail, all of us would be starving so we went to eat. I think we looked like airport staff because the people at the staff canteen charged us staff price w/o asking us.

Melvin and I cabbed to the office with Dionne cuz he needed to attend a briefing while I needed to collect feedback forms. Since we were waiting for Yvonne to come back and had nothing to do, we helped Irene write recepits.

In the end, Timon came down to look for us and the 3 of us cabbed down to HV cuz I needed to meet my mum to open a bank acc. After that I walked to HV to meet them and we rotted at Haagen Dazs.

We stayed there until evening time cuz I had to go collect dinner and the other 2 had other plans.

I'm so spending the weekends at home to do feedback forms. I'm so tired and sleepy! But I need the cash.

2008-03-05T18:24:00.000+08:00

My voice is gonna get worse sooner or later if I carry on working non-stop.

Double trail on tuesday and it was quite stupid because I was already at Esplanade after my morning trail (I had such a good time because the P1s were so cute!) and I had to go all the way down to Yishun Sec to bring the pupils to SG River.

Rushed like mad lah. We had to take a cab but good thing we could claim. Like what, $18. Madness.

The weather wasn't hot and it was an amazing race. I didn't even need to walk anywhere cuz my station was the starting and ending point (:

Surprisingly the Sec4's were quite enthu. But I got kinda bored explaining how to use the Clinometer. I swear I repeated myself more than 20 times.

Today was at Yu Neng again. This time round, it was the P4's. And it's my very first time doing a T3 trail!

And I did not get lost :P

The sucky thing about these 3 trails is that I had to be on my toes cuz the level heads were following me. Ugh. It's like 3 consecutive trails. That's bad.

I went to Bugis Village after that to get my nails done. It lasted me for 1 month. I just asked the lady to remove the nail polish and apply a new coat without removing or adding the gel for the fake nails. Cost me $40. Wth so expensive!

I should go figure out how to get to Griffiths Pri now. I need to report there like early in the morning tmr. And it's in the East. Wonderful.

2008-03-03T18:37:00.000+08:00

I didn't think I spent my weekends out and about.

Saturday was for Airport's T3 briefing (yes I went ALL the way there) and to the Career Fair to look into the different universities offering Tourism.

And Sunday was spent at Singapore River for another briefing in the morning, then to the Career Fair again before heading down to Expo (yes, super far away again) for the NATAS Fair.

We had free admission into NATAS and finally we booked our Korea trip! :D :D

Anws, this whole week will be jammed packed with trails. I'm not complaining cuz I need the money.

I just did a Vivo trail today! Yu Neng Pri 3 kids. Relatively easy because I only had 3 groups (:

Double trail tmr!

2008-02-29T23:21:00.000+08:00

Today was perfect (:

The weather wasn't as hot as compared to the previous days at Kampong Glam and finally the trail ended.

After that it was 8 crazy people in bright orange shirts accompanying Juvina to hunt for shoes. We then proceeded for dinner at Pastamania and the table topic was about TOILET BOWLS -.-

Anws, after that I was planning to go home but BFF Lance msg-ed me so I went to meet him at HV instead. I was like in my orange tee. So unglam!

1 bowl of earthquake ice-cream for the night accompanied by endless conversations.

Gossips to heartfelt talks. I swear we wouldn't have left if Lance didn't need to catch the bus. Swensens is like opened 24 hours! :D

Thanks best friend. That phone call meant a lot (:

2008-02-28T20:47:00.001+08:00

Trails (:

Indeed, my life has gotten back to where it was at 6 months ago.

Feedback forms, facing kids, tanning etc etc. All I lack of is a camera to start cam-whoring again.

I don't know how long I'll do this for. I don't know when I'll go apply for university.

Oh, when I was tanning with Yasmin @ Tanjong beach yesterday, we saw this circle rainbow (: It was like around the sun. Pretty pretty (:

2008-02-28T20:47:00.000+08:00

2008-02-25T22:22:00.001+08:00

Isn't it obvious enough?

2008-02-23T23:54:00.000+08:00

I've finally gotten my ass down to BBDC to register for driving! :D

Stupid Basic Theory Test is in May though :(

And the bimbo forgot to bring her IC so we'll be heading down again tomorrow.

So after BBDC, we headed down to Far East Plaza cuz I wanted to shop!

After coming back for like almost 3 weeks, I haven't spent a single cent on shopping!

I was quite pissed after walking into the first few shops because the service sucked and there wasn't my size for all the shoes I wanted! Throw in an empty stomach with painful cramps, nothing could get worse.

But things took a turn after stepping into this particular shop. I bought 2 flats from this lady cuz it was like only $16 after discount (for 1 pair lah). She was so much nicer than other service staff in other shops.

And then I bought another 2 pairs of shoes from another shop (: And then 2 tee shirts and finally a bikini.

Oh did I mention I'm sick again? Madness I tell you. Singapore weather makes one sick.

So after shopping (and not eating for the whole day), I went over to Nad's house cuz her maid cooked pasta so that was our dinner! :D

Having nothing to do after that, we went down to Cold Storage to buy like instant brownie mix and chips!

Yes, we started baking brownies out of borderm (:

The night was spent baking brownies, playing with her dogs, chopping off a part of Nad's hair and of course, CAM-WHORING.

See, I have super short hair now!

We tried to take jumping shots but gave up in the end cuz it was so tiring!

Kobe forced his way inbetween us to get in the photo!

We were trying to get him away lah.

And these were the brownies we baked (:

We also bought icing to write on the brownies- that's how bored we were!

They are BROWNIES and not cupcakes although we placed them into cupcake moulds! I swear it's so much easier to eat this way (:

Ooooh. I've also eaten my favourite TONG HENG EGG TARTS yesterday night!

A surprise by JW's godma at night sent 12 egg tarts to my door step (: She's really sweet lah.

And I've also met up with Leroy for supper last night too (:

2008-02-22T01:00:00.000+08:00

What do you do when you're bored?

I, for one, start eating mandarin oranges because I take like FOREVER to peel them and pop it into my mouth. I think I use about half an hour to eat 1 orange (:

Well, at least I have something to get my hands on.

Okay I am so random.

2008-02-21T01:13:00.000+08:00

Briefing at Kampong Glam today. I didn't know that place existed. Hahaha.

After that it was a meet-up session with YJ, Karen, KC, Min Li, Yasmin, Linda and Hui Fang over dinner (:

And I'm peeling like a snake now. I look like I have some skin disease. Hahaha.

It gets irritating when everyone I meet tells me the same thing. I don't know why I chose to take this path though. Maybe because I see a glimpse of hope?

2008-02-19T23:14:00.000+08:00

She didn't make it and left at 2am this morning.

My day was spent travelling to the office to dump feedback forms and collect another 1 stack, dump that at home, grabbed my clothes and left for Nad's house.

We (Nad, Sophia, Vivian and I) got ready and changed into our chink-chong tops and cabbed down to the place.

We walked from her place out to the main road, crossed the road and hailed for a cab okay. We were in our extremely loud pink tops lah. Like 4 stupid girls walking around.

Thank goodness the cab driver stopped directly next to our destination.

And at that point of time, we still didn't know what our job was.

So in the end, 3 were ushers and I was supposed to help the chinese caligraphy guy.

And I still don't know what this event was about. But whatever. Time passed very fast cuz I was damn busy. So many people wanted to get names written just because it's free. Super cheapskate lah some of them- write so many cuz it could be gifts for their grandchildren, children or friends.

But the writer is damn cool. He could directly translate English names and write them in Chinese! Nad and I wanted to get our names done but sadly there were too many people :(

In the end, we could leave at around 9.30pm when we officially started at 6pm.

Cabbed back to Nad's place to change before heading down to HV's Swensens for dinner cuz we were all STARVING! Swensens there is like opened 24 hours now lah!

And did I mention how much I'll be getting for that job of mine? $200 (:

2008-02-17T23:33:00.000+08:00

Visit to the hospital on Saturday cuz my grandmother-in-law was admitted. Things don't seem cherry. Last year, this point of time, she still looked fine despite her illness. But now, she has shrunk to 1/4 of her size and sad to say, it's just a matter of time.

Sunday however, was spent celebrating my grandfather's birthday. Both old folks are still healthy despite their old age.

Life's just not fair sometimes isn't it.

On a sidenote, I think I sort of made up my mind to study tourism. I feel like I'm taking the easy way out cuz the course structre I see in MDIS is like what I've studied in NP. And I can't see myself studying business or whatever else for 3-4 years? Boring.

I don't know. We'll see how it goes.

2008-02-15T16:14:00.000+08:00

I'm not used to blogging at this blog. I wanna blog at http://kim-in-shanghai.blogspot.com because I don't wanna be in Singapore!

Apparently I thought not a single soul would read this dusty blog of mine anymore cuz I've abandoned it for like 6 months but sadly, it's not the case. Therefore I decided- no more emo posts what-so-ever.

I've been back for more than a week now and my luggage is still left there- clothes all over the floor waiting for me to put them into place. The reason I don't wanna pack everything is because once I do it, it really marks THE END of the whole attachment thingy :(

And applying for university is such a pain in the ass because local uni's don't have tourism and I'm just applying for the sake of applying. I'm currenty directionless and aimless fyi. And making the deadlines like SOON isn't helping at all.

Life back in Singapore hasn't been the most interesting though. Although I enjoyed meeting up with my friends, getting a tan until I'm like all red now but the meet up with YJ and Joanne made me miss OIAP so much!

One thing I've learnt- problems will never be solved by running away. But sometimes I hope they'll just magically disappear?

I'm doing okay. Like, really. (on the surface)

2008-02-10T14:45:00.000+08:00

I'm back from Shanghai and I miss it loads.

It was a wonderful experience and I'll never trade anything for it.

My purpose of going there hasn't been fulfilled though.

When I signed up for OIAP, it was just an excuse to run away from the situations that I was in.

But it seemed like things got worse for the first situation and I'm more lost than ever for the second situation.

I'm confused of who I am to you. The line's blured in my opinion.

6 months was a long time; but it wasn't long enough.

The whole world is singing in the same tune but that's not important.

I'm lost. I'm confused. Sometimes, life would be easier if you could read people like an open book. Help?

2007-08-29T23:08:00.000+08:00

Okay I'm in quite a depressing mood right now.

I spent the whole of today morning packing my luggage and it's like quite full already!

Scary stuff man. I hope I don't exceed my 30KG baggage weight. :X

Right. So then I headed down to town BY MYSELF to get my lip balm, and key chains for the ppl there and some other last min stuff. You know, when I was walking past taka, wisma, orchard MRT etc I was thinking to myself "OMG this is the LAST time I'm gonna walk in town until 6 months later!"

Trust me, it wasn't really a good feeling.

Then of all stupid things I did in town, was to be so stupid to choose to take a bus down to Vivo instead of the train. I don't know why, but I walked pass Orchard MRT and headed straight to the bus-stop. I think I still felt that I had bus concession -.- Wrong choice man, wrong choice.

Because I went up the first escalator already, and remembered that I could actually take the train and not go under the hot sun, I was lazy to walk down (because the escalators are only one way and the going down part is the staircase) so I was praying that the bus would come quick to reduce the time I had to spend at the bus-stop waiting for the bus.

Then I went up the second escalator, ironically I saw a guy walking down, and his tee-shirt read "U TURN". I swear I should have just taken the god damn train.

Why? BECAUSE I WAITED FOR LIKE HALF AN HOUR FOR THE FREAKING 65. And when the bus came, 2 of it came at the same time! I was so mad!
Eh, the weather was not like yesterday's okay, it was freaking hot today!

Right right. Lets move on. So I met Cheng Wei at Vivo for a quick dinner. In the end we settled for New York Pizza which wasn't THAT nice (okay maybe cuz it was already cold by the time we chose a spot to sit down to eat).

Yeah, we walked all the way back to Vivo and sat outside where we could see the sea. And it was quite smelly there and there were ants and we saw some mats fighting! HAHA.

So CW left me to go for some BBQ (like hello, I'll be going for 6mths and this is the amt of time you're gonna spend with me?!) Hahaha. Joking.

Right. So you know tonight. Will be the LAST night I'm gonna sleep on my bed.
Oh how I LOVE my bed! and my pillows and my comfortor. I'm sure I'll miss it so much for 6mths! ARGH.

And if I don't get the chance to blog tmr, this will be my last post here until I get back. Will be blogging at another page.

http://kim-in-shanghai.blogspot.com

2007-08-28T22:50:00.000+08:00

Okay I'm feeling super duper emo now because I received some news regarding my accommodation for my OIAP.

Besides that, I've been spending Monday and Tuesday totally out of the house!

MONDAY.

I headed down to the doctor's at 9am. Got 2 jabs for fever and flu vaccination, some giddy pills and vitamins. And, my blood pressure is not low lah! Its NORMAL.

Then I headed down to school to meet YJ to submit our photocopied visas to level 9 and also to have our last meal in NP.

We then headed down to AMK hub (my first time in that area!) to meet Yasmin to catch Rush Hour 3! Omg damn funny show man. We had buy 1 get 1 free tix and also a student priced tix for the other ticket. So, in the end each of us paid only $4 (:

Then YJ and I went to Outram to meet Karen, Han Loon, Yong Sin and Kenneth for dinner at the temp Chinatown Hawker Centre. Then we walked all the way to Chinatown Point's Coffee Bean to slack.

And then I went home to chuck my stuff and then headed to Commonwealth's Macs to meet up with Leroy! Met him at 11pm and catched up until 2am!

Can you believe it, I was out of the house at 9am and back only at 2am. OMG.

TUESDAY.

I went to meet BFF Lance Koh in the noon all the way till night! We were practically EATING the whole day.

Headed to PS and ate at Manhattan Fish Market for lunch. Watched Simpson's Movie (LIKE FINALLY!!!). Then headed down to Marina Square to eat Billy Bombers for dinner followed by Changing Appetites for dessert!

I NEED TO DIET.
And from the living conditions I'm gonna get for that 1-2months in Shanghai, I think I'll lose weight?

2007-08-26T23:22:00.000+08:00

So I've decided to password protect my blog. But anws, I won't be blogging here when I go for my OIAP cuz I've already created a new blog (which isn't password protected btw)!

The link's up on the left already and you can also access it here.

Right. So I had quite a busy Sunday today!

The day started bright and early where I made my way down to Singapore Cruise Centre to send JW off and then headed down to meet my Dad, Mum and 2 aunts for luggage bag shopping! :D :D

I bought a 30" luggage and no it's not in PINK.
But, I was THAT close to getting a 31" PINK luggage :/

Right. Anws we then headed to Giant for some grocery shopping.
From what I can remember, I'm guessing this is the very first time that my dad, mum and I went grocery shopping.

I know right, I'm not lucky to be born with a happy family.
You don't know what it feels like to be waken up by sounds of quarreling almost every other day.

But yes, I was quite happy today that the fact that some family time was spent.
Although I know whatever I'm seeing now is a facade, well, it's better than seeing something ugly right?

Okay today's also like the very LAST time that I'm going to my grandma's house because they'll be moving next month so when I come back, it'll be that freaking 36th floor house that I'll go to and not this one now.

That house there, although already very old and worn out, was there ever since I was born. I lived there, wished to go back there when I was overseas, came back and lived there before my family moved to our house now. So yeah, that place is like my home. And its gonna en bloc so I'll never see it again.

These few days have been phycially and emotionally draining.

I'm tired, but I can't sleep for long hours.
I'm hungry, but I don't have the appetite to eat.

But thank goodness I managed to clear my exams knowing that I'll definitely not fail any modules.

Its been consecutively 3 or was it 4 days where there wasn't peace in the house.

Right anws, I've gotten my air ticket already!

And I had my last paper for my poly life on Friday. IB was manageable although the stupid convention hall was FREEZING cold.

It ended at like 11am and then YJ, Karen, KC and I cabbed down to Quality Hotel for buffet lunch!

Then I went to meet my mum, headed to Anthony's Hair Boutique to cut my hair. I don't know why he charged so cheap this time round :D And my mum got vain too and rebonded her hair which resulted in me sitting there for a VERY long time stoning waiting for her. Haha.

Then I headed down to Clark Quay to meet Nadia, Fara and Nana. From Macs to some shit italian restaurant to Fashion Bar to Attica. It wasn't the best of the best meet-ups :/

Anws I reached home at aorund 1+, got woken up at 4am by ___ and then got woken up again at 6am cuz ________.

And somehow or rather I couldn't get back to sleep when I woke up at aorund 10am :/

So I packed and cleared my stuff from my room!

This is like the amount of stuff I'm going to discard.

I so need to come up with a list of stuff to bring and buy. Its like what, 6 more days only?!

2007-08-22T19:50:00.000+08:00

"My skin is like a map, of where my heart has been
And I can't hide the marks, but it's not a negative thing
So I let down my guard, drop my defences, down by my clothes
I'm learning to fall, with no safety net, to cushion the blow

I bruise easily, so be gentle when you handle me
There's a mark you leave, like a love heart, carved on a tree
I bruise easily, can't scratch the surface without moving me
Underneath I bruise easily, I bruise easily"

After all that's happened within this short frame of time from when I got back from my Taipei holiday, I'm greatful for those that lent a listening ear. Thanks.

But deep down there's still an empty hole inside waiting for you to fill it up.

Its funny how after witnessing this particular incident I'm not feeling cynical about ____. I'm trying my best to be optimistic and there's still a glimpse of hope in me. But, time's running out. 9 days left.

I cross my fingers and hope what you say will come true.

2007-08-22T10:08:00.000+08:00

I got woken up today not by my alarm clock, but by the sounds of ___.

I actually planned to study at like 8am, but it lasted until like now- 10am. And it started at like close to 7am.

Show will continue tonight; because it isn't over yet.

2007-08-21T22:37:00.000+08:00

I used to be skeptical about such stuff.

But after tonight, seeing how accruate it was made me think twice.

I think I can confirm that ___ __ ______ __ ______ __ ________.
Go ahead, make a wild guess. You'll never know.

It sucks to be where I am right now. But its okay, I'm leaving in 10 days time BUT I'm leaving my mum here. And that's not a good thing.

2007-08-21T17:19:00.000+08:00

I think I should blog so that my previous post won't show.

I'm so done with 2 exams already!

RMTR and HOM- BYE BYE!

Okay so RMTR, I think I can only rely on my calculations. Yeah, first time ever I can do the math problems! And my theory was pure crapping through I swear.

And HOM. My god can I say I just love that lecturer of ours! I felt like so insecure studying that SUPER LITTLE amount of information for the exam but that was all we needed for the paper! And it's like the most little I've studied for for a paper in Ngee Ann. :D

2 more paper's to go though. SQTR and IB. Good thing I have tonight and the whole of tmr and the following morning to study (:

This is like my last exam in NP! And my next exam, in a long time to come I guess. Or maybe never if I choose not go to into Uni?

I've got like a list of things to squeeze into that one freaking week!
Lets see.. so far my plans are..

Friday (yes after IB exam)- chop off my damn long irritating hair, hopefully gathering with the Pb4s.
Monday- Dinner with the TB12 'clique'
Tuesday- Hang out with my BFF Lance Koh
Wed- FREE (as of now)
Thurs- I only have like the morning and noon time. Going to airport at night!

Okay I just realized that I don't have a lot of plans planned huh. But oh-well.

And I need to like, come up with a list of stuff to buy to bring over, buy a big ass luggage, pack my stuff, pack my room, get advanced birthday presents, hang out with more people like ACW, NADIA CHAN, TJW and whoever else! Like stupid LEROY YEW who told me "eh meet me before u go!" and now he's MIA-ing.

Right. I so need to go study for the 2 papers now!

2007-08-19T21:29:00.000+08:00

My life's in a wreck right now.

Honestly, I'm no where near OKAY.

I can't swollow the fact that you'd rather spend money on HER and not us.

Now I know why you don't wanna talk to us anymore.
When I tried talking to you, you shouted back at me.

While having dinner.
Me: Hey I'm leaving on 30th Aug night. So you gonna send me?
You: You think you big shot ah? Or VIP? Don't know how to take a cab down yourself is it? 6 months only big deal!

Somehow I couldn't hold back my tears and cried immediately.
I know. I'm weak. I'm such a loser. Whatever.

2007-08-18T15:53:00.000+08:00

Did I mention that my flight's confirmed already?

Yeah.

Departing SIN on 31 Aug at 0055hrs and arriving in PVG on 31 Aug at 0555hrs. There is no time difference in SIN and PVG.

So, technically I'm leaving on 31 Aug, but in reality I'm leaving on Thursday night.

Omg this is so scarry. I have like 2 more weeks left only!!

And I still don't know when I'm returning to SIN! Before CNY I hope!

2007-08-17T22:03:00.000+08:00

Today was such a gloomy day.

Yes, it was the perfect weather to sleep but I had to drag myself out of bed to go collect my Visa.

Guess what, I got a 150 days visa! But I still gotta renew cuz I need at least 10 more days. Ugh.

Went to find my mum at 7 11 and there was this customer, a guy in his 50s I guess? He said the funnies thing.

"The weather outside isn't lovely. But you are."
-.- I laughed like CRAZY there.

Today's the day where Mr. Tham was cremated.
But I still can't accept the fact that he's already gone.

2007-08-16T20:12:00.000+08:00

Exams are coming like real soon.

Been trying to study but somehow there seems to be quite little to memorize?

Don't know what we're studying is sufficient for the paper, but thats what our lecturers told us to study. Cross my fingers and hope for the best.

Anyhoo, I've uploaded the little photos I've took during my Taipei trip already. Will blog about it when I'm like in the mood.

And all these drama thats happening now, I realize that I cry much easier than what I used to think.

As if I'm not emotionally drained enough, now you're not speaking to us. Its like, you've made yourself non-existant. Your body is here but I'm sure your mind is somewhere else. When I spoke during dinner, it seemed like you didn't hear a single word. Why?

You didn't utter a word when I said my lecturer passed away.
You didn't utter a word when my mum said I almost fainted.
You didn't utter a word when I said my flight to Shanghai's confirmed already.
Do you not care?

Ah Ma was nice enough today to pop by my place today. She got worried sick when my aunt told her I almost fainted when I was in Taipei. She wanted to bring me to the doctor but I told her after my exams. She knew I was studying and she bought me like 6 cans of Birds Nest. I love her (:

Yes, for those that don't know, I almost fainted when I was eating lunch in Taipei. I don't know why either. Not the first time though. But when returning back to SIN from TPE they had this machine to test blood pressure. Out of the 14 that tested, mine was the lowest. It was a plus minus 80/60. Oh well, the machine might not be accurate.

2007-08-15T21:08:00.000+08:00

That was taken with his camera during 2.1 after one of our Abacus lessons with him.

Found his site where he uploaded photos of all his students.

"Class of AY0607: TRM Students - The Pioneer Batch
This is the 1st Batch of TRM Students. Very Hard-working students indeed! Glad to have them as my TRM students :D"

That was his title and description of the folder on the website.

It's such an irony how we couldn't seem to find his links when he gave them to us last time but now I've already found some.

Just came back from his wake. Many TRM yr 3s were there to pay their last respects too.

Saw him for the very very last time.

He'll be missed.

2007-08-14T15:32:00.000+08:00

That was the last photo we took with him; from my camera.
He has yet to pass us our class photo he took with HIS camera and we'll never get them no more.

All this happend just too sudden. It was just last Wednesday when we submitted our final project to him. And then he headed to BKK for a golf tournament. And yesterday noon a heart attack in the office took him away for good.

I can still hear his contagious laughter in my head and phrases such as "well, .." and "in time to come.." in my head.

He always looked so happy and smiled until we can't see his eyes. Who would have guessed how fragile he could be and lost the battle.

He was the only lecturer from TRM that taught us for 3 semesters. From TMGT to TRMK to PT.

I've already gotten used to his style, the kind of report he wants, the way he does his notes and the way he teaches. He's the only one that puts all his documents in PDF format on MeL because his files are forever huge. And since TMGT we've been complaining what a waste of paper it is to print 4 slides on 1 sheet of paper.

No one dared climb over his head or come late for classes during our first semester with him. Yes, he was strict and demanded a lot from us.

This resulted in some bitching because of the real high expectations he set. With the "I'm preparing you guys for your first degree" most of us were conscious of everything we submitted to him.

But as time passed, he became more lenient and more friendly. He'll laugh at his own jokes making us stare at him blankly and then we would laugh because of his laughter.

I recognized him for his oakley specs, stylish (for a 51 year old) cut hair, gold ring on his last finger, gold bracelet and rolex watch. He'd always come to class with a file full of markers and pens as his pencil box and usually a bottle of Lemon 1000.

He had a persona that was sturdy and firm which made me not comfortable to open up to him or crap with him like my other lecturers. But he was really concerned and helped me out for the blogging incident. At that point of time, he was so fatherly and gave us a lot of advise.

During our last few PT classes, he said "this is my last chance to teach you guys what you need to prepare you for your IAP/OIAP. Becuase after this all of you will be out in the industry working".

Indeed, he briefed us on a lot of stuff and passed his knowledge down, for the last time. He even gave us his msn address and asked us to add him and nudge him to chat with him and also his handphone number so we can call or sms him when needed which he said will never change.

He was excited and looking forward for us to all go out for our attachment. And its sad that we can't share our experiences with him no more.

And so we headed down to school today to find that all the BA lecturers were in the huge meeting room because of this incident. Ms Ng talked to the TRM yr 3s in the room with tears in her eyes. Many teared, including myself.

But the TRM team will be strong. Hopefully we'll be strong enough to not let this affect us studying for our 4 papers.

2007-08-14T00:59:00.000+08:00

I'm back from Taipei.

Not a very good trip; it was kinda boring but oh-well.

Anws I came home and heard a piece of REAL BAD news. And trust me, its REALLY BAD.

Sigh, life's short. Anything can happen.

2007-08-09T09:31:00.000+08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE !!!!!

While most people will be celebrating watching the NDP show on tv/live/at Esplanade etc etc I'll miss the show and spend it in TAIPEI!

Gonna go fly soon! Flight's at 1240hrs. Taking SQ! :D

Arriving back in SG on 13th (Monday) evening at 1845hrs.
Seems like this time round, I'll be seeing myself to the airport and fetching myself back home. Oh well, who else to blame but yourself right.
Eew. Then I'll have like 6 days to study for exams! Oh no.

Eh. And I only chagnged like SGD300 for my trip. Yes, I don't have any intention to do any heavy shopping. Haha. And my luggage is more than 3/4 empty now! But we'll see when I get back!

BYE BYE!

2007-08-08T12:02:00.000+08:00

I feel that I've got SO MANY THINGS TO DO.

Okay yesterday was GREAT! Had my very last lecture in NP and I'm glad we ended with HOM revision lecture with only the year 3s.

And despite the rushing of PT project between lecture and OIAP briefing and after OIAP brifing until abt 6pm, Tuesday was the best.

Karen brought along her SLR and I tell you that is the sexzxz man.
It takes FAB photos!

Anyhoo. I'll blog about Tuesday when I get hold of her photos (which will be like FOREVER because I don't know when I'll blog again)!

I'll just summarize what 8 of us (Kim, YJ, Karen, KC, Yasmin, Min Li, Lavanya and Justin) did in the evening. We headed down to 6th Avenue's Brazil Churascaria for dinner.

MEAT BUFFET!!!! Oh so yummy man. I swear we were like DAMN full after stuffing ourselves with so much meat. And to top it off we had a huge ass cake to celebrate Karen, YJ and my b'dae because we'll all be overseas when its our b'dae.

OH. Something TOTALLY EMBARRASSING happened to YJ and I while at the restaurant! I swear I thought it'd NEVER EVER happen to me in my life! But it HAD to happen yesterday. I so felt like digging a hole to hide my face can.

After that we headed down to Eski Bar to chill until like 12.30am.

Long day, but it was worth it cuz Justin's leaving SG TODAY for like 2yrs I think and it's the last time we'll be out because EXAMS ARE COMING SOOON. :0

Okay I'm flying tmr and I HAVEN'T EVEN PACKED A SINGLE THING.

And when I come back its mug mug mug for those dreadful 4 papers.

OH YAY! PT REPORT IS FINALLY DONE AND WILL BE SUBMITTED BY 5PM TODAY. LAST PROJECT. :D :D :D

//Edited

I've finally gotten Karen to send me the photos!! So here are some of them (:

So after out OIAP/IAP briefing, we had around 2hrs to complete our PT report. In the midst, we still managed to camwhore to test out her SLR!

We then went to meet Justin. Look this photo's damn nice!

See how KC managed to get that nice shot.

We then headed to the restaurant to EAT!

Everyone's just so happy when there's meat!

YUMMY.

And then after so much food, they brought out the hugeass cake!

We were trying to read what it says.

3 Gorgeous Babes, Happy Advanced Birthday

Because YJ and I are going to Shanghai and Karen's going to Wales.

The lovely's that bought the cake (:

Notice how BIG each piece of cake was.

And then we proceeded to Eski Bar.

Drinks.

And then we just started snapping more photos.

Headed to the room that was -5 degress cold! And we acted smart to not ask for a jacket.

Then we asked for ONE jacket, which I happily took to wear :P

Karen was FREEZING.

Its PINK.

And then we asked for 7 more jackets for everybody (:

Stupid people who wore slippers. We almost had numb frozen feet!

Finally, classic shot of the night.

2007-08-06T23:05:00.000+08:00

MINE. I think it's cool. Hahaha. Jw's godma got it for me (:

Who said that my last trail was THAT time?

Scratch that cuz yes you guessed it, I WENT TO DO A TRAIL TODAY.

I know I know, why oh why would I wanna do this trail to earn my FIRST loyalty chop out of 8 I have to complete to earn that extra $80.

But after doing the trail today, I realized how much I missed working (yes I had good kids today).

Anws I won't get to see my pay until like NEXT YEAR cuz by the time they bank in that pathethic $30 for THIS trail it'll be around 10 Sept and I won't be here to spend the money on something useless. And that $10 chop, all I have to say is "JUN WEI HURRY UP AND WORK TO COMPLETE IT AND GIVE ME $10!" Hahahha.

Oh yeah, trail was at Esplanade in the noon. They came super late (2.45pm) and we only had to do 4 out of 5 stations cuz 1 station was blocked for some reason. Kids were great! I even had time to bring them to the waterfront to slack.

LAST LECTURE TMR. That'll mark the end of my poly classroom experience. Hmmm.

2007-08-05T16:30:00.000+08:00

(I should) Snap out of it, cuz it ain't gonna happen.

My finger nails feel damn naked! WHY?!

Becauseeee I've decided to give my more-than-3-years-of-painted-nails a break.

And now its freaking ugly :(

But on a lighter note, I've repainted my toe nails the same 5 colours again!

Last time I'm gonna paint them UNTIL I come back.

Okay I've got like 1 more report due and its irritating the shit out of me :(
