"人生无常活在当下

2011-04-05T22:14:00.003+08:00

"人生无常活在当下" - i so agree. whenever i think of my good friend, tears just fall uncontrollably. she's still so young, what has she done to deserve this. and the pain she has to go through. sigh. i dunno what i can do, probably nothing. just gotta be there when she needs company.

i shall go to the gym tomorrow. need to sweat it out cos i've been eating too much :P

It's about time

2011-04-05T14:38:00.010+08:00

It's been a long while. I've been contemplating the past few days whether or not I should revive this dying blog of mine :P I pressume no one reads it now, since I hardly update it. which makes it even better. :)

A good friend of mine has recently been diagnosed with bone cancer. It took me sometime to digest this horrifying news. It's really very sad. & it got me thinking so much. Life is short, I should stop procrastinating and do what I really wanna do. Plan B i call it. There is progress, and I'm really very excited about it.

You will recover soon. Be strong & Jiayou! :) *big hugs*

2007-11-18T22:49:00.000+08:00

"Stupid."
That's the word.
For the past few days, I've had this word thrown at me umpteen times.
But I know it hurts you more than it hurt me.
Nobody really understands unless you tell them - I know.
But sometimes, it's not a matter of whether you want to, but whether you are able to.
A barrier is hard to overcome. What more a self-created one.

Anyway, I'm really really relieved and glad that it's over, and that you're recovering well now. =) You have to be healthy and well, understand? *Hugs*

2007-11-10T03:24:00.000+08:00

A new post! Haa, by right, YOUR PIC should be here. Remember? I told you that should I next post an entry, I'll upload the PIC you sent me the other time for the whole world to see! Hahaha. Of cos I didn't mean it. Anyway, thanks dear...thanks for sacrificing the other time just to make me smile.

I know I can't do much for you this time round. But I just want you to know that you're not in this alone. Your family, friends and myself, we'll all be here to support and stand by you. So, you must have faith & be brave alright? We'll Fight on this battle together!

Everything's going to be JUST FINE.
You'll be FINE. - I SAY SO.

All Samsung phones have this amazing interactive wallpaper - With it, I see shooting stars every night just by sliding out my phone. Wishes for you sweetheart. LYHLX. =) *BIG HUGS*

EXASPERATED.

Happy Birthday, Brother!

2007-09-03T00:58:00.000+08:00

Big brother was back for 3 weeks. And before I know it, he's off again. This trip back, his gf came along too...but only during the final week due to job commitments. It was fun to have her! We brought her around to gobble down as many local delicacies as possible! But boy was one week noooot enough! Haha. Nevertheless, I hope she had a fab time here. =)

Happy BirthdaY Bro! (^^) Love ya!

《保家卫国》

2007-08-20T23:50:00.000+08:00

I was hook-ed on this ch 8 show. 《保家卫国》. Didn't catch most of it real-time. For more than half of the series, I was actually watching it via the recorded clips on my computer - Thanks to windows media center! :P

Hilarious. Touching. Romantic. Entertaining.
You name it, they have it. Other than horror lah. Wahaha.
It so never failed to make me laugh throughout the show. Loved it. (^^)

Tonight marked the last epi of the show. An expected..but beeeautiful ending. :)

I especially liked Rui-en in this show. Liked her style. Liked the way she carried herself. Ha, and coincidentally, I've got the exact polo tee she wore in the show! Just diff. colour. Haha. But yaa lah. Not as "Seh" as her. Anyways, just felt she acted really well in this show. Very natural. Way to go!

生日快乐

2007-08-19T03:50:00.000+08:00

8月18日1984年是我两位好友，Elv & Eileen, 的生日。
我真心的在此祝福这两位寿星婆。
希望她们永远幸福, 快乐, 健康。
哈哈! 还有早日碰到她们的真命天子!
生日快乐哦两位! =) *MUACKS*

P.S Eileen, sorry for not being able to celeb with you tdy! :( I'll make it up to you as promised k?! ;P

Good. Bad. No bad, how to have good?

2007-08-07T23:52:00.000+08:00

10 minutes ago, I was on cloud nine. Great company. Fabulous movie. It has been awhile since I went out to have fun...to relax. (Thanks to a particular someone who flew my kite today. Better do sth to appease me. Haha.)

AND you had to spoil it. Yes, I asked for it. I shouldn't have msg-ed you on msn. Some things are really better left unknown. And I should jolly well know that nothing in this world is eternal (I'm not being pessimistic here. Just facing reality). And that's the same for friendship. Once so close, now...I guess I would consider us worse off than strangers on the road. To think I even lost sleep because of you. Damn. Anyway, this might not be a bad thing afterall.

Enough of the spoiler.

Guess what movie I caught earlier?

Tada! 《不能說的秘密》!

Starring Jay Chou, Kwai Lun-Mei & Anthony Wong.

This show was his first production, besides being an actor in the show, he also was the director, and story-writer. Great effort by a talented young man. And imo, it was a success!

Frankly speaking, I was very impressed. Haha. This movie was no where near the first 2 movies he starred in. His first,《Initial D》, was not bad...all thanks to the cars. His 2nd,《Curse of the Golden Flower》, was a total disaster. And this time round. It was...good! :) I enjoyed the entire show alot. I liked the piano battling. I liked the cliche first dating scenes. I liked the way he make his audience laugh uncontrollably. And I liked the way he twisted the whole show - It wasn't what I expected it to be. Haha. I like.

Commendable, commendable. Alrighty, for the sake of those who have yet to watch this show...I shall not elaborate any further. As the title goes...It's a seeecret! *Grinz* Go catch it! Highly recommended.

Bro's touching down in 5 hours time. :) Looking forward!

This world is filled with strange people.

All excited for August!

2007-08-01T18:16:00.000+08:00

This ain't my first. But, it's very different. Nothing seems to be good enough this time round. *AhhHH*

PRESS ON JHYT!!!~*

The Rascals

2007-07-26T01:10:00.000+08:00

There are 2 rascals I love in this world.

They are my cousins. My mummy's younger brother's kids. The girl's 7 this year, and the boy's 5. She's called Celeste, and him Cedric. They invade my room every other week. Notice I din't say, "... invade my house". Haha. Rascals.

They wake me up from my sleep. Disturb me when I'm doing work. Make a mess out of my room which in the first place is not very neat to start with. Scream, Shout, Cry. In short, they are 2 hyper energetic and highly destructive kids.

Sometimes, they really do get on my nerves. And when that happens, I wish I could disappear. Haha. Did you realise I din't say..."I wish I could strangle them" or anything along that line? Honestly, I don't think I'll bear to.

I still remember when I was shopping for gifts for the elder one b4 she entered P1...I really felt as if I was buying stuffs for MY OWN kid. Wahaha. For that moment lah. Haha, like how a happy mother would be when her kid is starting P1! I bought her a stationery set (which includes a pencil case, pencils, notepad) and a cute pink pig keychain.

They are extremely naughty. But when they are sweet...they can be really sweet. Like running to hug you and calling out "Yuting Jie Jie" when I reach home. Giving you a goodbye kiss on your hand/cheek. Rascals.

Below's a photo taken when we went to visit my Ah-gong the other day. Where's my mum? Haha, she's the photographer lah. My Ah-gong doesn't stay with my Ah-ma. He did her wrong in the past, and to date, she still cannot bring herself to forgive him.

Frankly, if I were her. I also cannot. Imagine being deserted, with 8 very young kids, for another her. She brought them up single-handedly. It was hell. My mum, being the eldest of all, had to come out to work at a young age to help support the family. Whenever I think about it, I would feel the wrench for my Ah-ma.

But what to do? Should I blame my Ah-gong? He has aged, and is ill. Even my mum and aunt has forgiven him. How could I bring myself to not forgive him. Everyone has a past. And it's not fair to judge a person just by looking at his past. And no matter what, he's my Ah-gong. I gave myself the chance to get to know "her". And I think she's a very nice lady. Despite my Ah-gong's illness, she still stayed by him to take care of him.

You are being cruel to no one but yourself if you cannot forgive - This is a something I came to understand. It's never too late to repent. ;) Friends, extended family...I'm not certain. But immediate family members will always be by your side.

Left to Right:
Ah-gong, Me & Cedric, Auntie Eve & Celeste, Auntie

Auntie Eve's my favourite Aunt in this world. She's my mum's sister. Haa, and she dotes on me alot. Like a second mother to me. I will definitely take care of her when she's old. Oh btw, don't be mistaken. In the photo, it looks as if I'm trying to pry open the naughty boy's legs right? But hell no! I was trying my best to close his legs lah! So obscene. Grinz.

==========================================

Went for yoga with Dawn (my TK girlfriend) last evening. Not bad! Ha, it's a 7-day trial @ True Yoga. As we attended the 8.45pm class, there were only about 10 of us. Hence, the instructor was able to give us more individualized attention and corrected our postures. Dawn has been giving me loads of emo support these days - Thank you my dear. Really. Every single gesture meant so much. *Hugs*

A part of me hoped for a certain her to be there. But alas, she was not. Does "forever" exists in friendships?

==========================================

After receiving a particular sms today...I was very sad. All of a sudden, I was just overwhelmed with emo. I'm starting to miss you already. You know who you are. Promise me you'll take good care alrighty? =) Don't say I only talk but no action hor. Haha, tomorrow you'll know.

My Happy Saturday

2007-07-23T01:45:00.000+08:00

Not everyone has the courage to follow their dreams. to follow their heart. Air stewardess. JAL. Haha. Japan has always been THE place you've always wanted to go. It's a dream come true for you. When you revealed this to me, honestly... I was slightly taken aback. BUT I am really very happy for you. Cross-heart. 2 months back, I left. And now, it's your turn. Like I told you, there's never a best time to leave. So, when you've made up your mind...just go for it! ;) So excited for you!

==========================================

Haha, I'm here to continue my previous post. Why was I so happy the other day?

***I AM getting my 300 bucks back from ICA!!!***

Haha, you must be bewildered. How the hell did I lose 300 bucks! Yes, it was my punishment - for "losing" my IC. I didn't know how I lost it. But, I just couldn't find it after I gt back from the US a month ago. I was certain that I din't bring it out of Singapore. And when I came back, I searched high AND low for it. Packed my entire room, but I still saw no sight of it. Hence, after I was completely sure that I had searched every possible place, and after being scolded by Uncle and Auntie Huang...I made a trip to ICA to make a replacement IC. It was not a smooth trip, but I shall hereby leave out the details.

And guess what? Last Saturday, my IC miraculously popped out of Auntie Huang's wallet!!! Yes. She had my IC all this while lah! Hahaha. We laughed our hearts out. And poor her was so angry with herself. But nm lah, most importantly...I'm gonna get my refund back! Confirmed. :) YES. Just this news alone...was sufficient to make me smile the whole day! Hahaha. ;P And that's not all...cable ski-ing with my Tk girls and supper-ing with the market brought my mood up to its peak.

Peek-tures!

Me, Si & Sammm @ Chomp Chomp
It was my first. Haa, yes I know. I had been staying up in the mountain.

The above is a liar.
Ha, but for the happy surprise, you're forgiven!

Group pic!

But w/o Lychee! A pity she left earlier. 3 cars. 1 each from the Western, Northern, and Eastern part of Singapore...just to have supper with Miwa dearie! Haa. Over the moon to have her back! But why do good times always pass so fast! Friday, Friday...stay away okie?

And to Mr Siwei: Sorry for blocking you. Haha, but it was really unintentional lah. ;P

Happy

2007-07-22T02:18:00.000+08:00

I AM VERY HAPPY TODAY.

For Laughs

2007-07-18T02:02:00.000+08:00

Not exactly in the best of mood to blog.

BUT, this...is so funny! - at least to me lah.
I laughed. Haha, thanks. *winks*

The stunts looked impossible right? WaHaha~* But in reality, they are possible.

Where's the LIGHT?

2007-07-09T01:06:00.000+08:00

Somehow, nothing seems to be helping tonight. Be it happy thoughts, favourite people, favourite food, favourite music, favourite everything. Sigh, I hope tomorrow will be a better day. Aja Aja!
=)

Catching Up

2007-07-02T05:45:00.000+08:00

Feelin' a lil melancholic this very moment. Listening to "Animation Medley" - one of the many band pieces we used to play back in TK. Ahh. I'll never forget those times - the best four years of my entire school life. Band used to be my number one priority. It was that big a part of my life then.

Met up with the girls on Saturday - a date we set few months back before my trip. It was...awesome! Thanks PJ for organising! (: It's amazing how much we've changed since. We chatted like those days were just few years back. But shockingly, ten years have gone by - just like that. Friends come and go. And I'm so glad we made the effort to stay in touch.

Nostalgic. Haha. We dined at Werners - a German restaurant along Upp. East Coast rd. Elv, must bring you there someday! It was so good. The pork knuckes, the sausages, the clam chowder, the german beer! Not too expensive too. Value for money. Reminded me of those times in Munich with the market.

After dinner, we adjourned to Settler's Cafe for more catching up to do! Fun! We laughed so hard that night. Two boyfriends joined us. But not to worry, haha, they didn't spoil the fun. We played Cranium and Taboo...till GST officially turned 7%! Haaa, it's hilarious to see what we came up with to get our team mates to guess the correct answer. We drew, acted, hummed, did everything we could. We looked super silly. Hahaha. But who cares. It's one of the few public places where you can raise your voice, laugh till the roof falls and yet, no one will complain.

Ah hah! Talking about this, there's one more place you simply cannot miss - HK Cafe. Hahaha. A particular dearie's favourite food place. The place is cosy, but I find the food is just alright. Ha, nothing spectacular. Met up with some of the marketeers last Friday at Marina Sq's HK Cafe. Missed you guys! Laughed till our jaws ached! Haha. As usual, the company was fabulous.

I'm getting 'heaty'. How do I know? I woke up with a terribly painful throat this morning - at 5+am. I slept early last night because of the throat too. But it wasn't as bad as it is now. I think it's thanks to the irresistable food in Singapore. Drowning myself with loads of home-made barley now as I so don't wanna fall sick. It sure feels sucky to be sick - and I don't want to spoil my days.

Ohyes, to update you guys a lil' about my current HP status. My dopod - They have not gotten back to me on its status yet. Taking way too long. And the service (on the phone) was hopeless too. Made me wait and wait and wait, and at the end of the day, she told me they'll call me back - which of course they didn't.

I'm currently using Auntie Huang's colleague's spare phone. I know her personally too, as I often pop by their office to pick Auntie Huang up. It's a nokia phone - I can't remember the specific model, but I know it came out in 2003. Haha, I remember because I used to sell that phone when I worked in Starhub then. And big big thanks to the sweethearts who offered to lend me theirs too upon hearing that I'm phoneless. *Muacks*

Nat, a buddy I got to know from Starhub, accompanied me to check out the hp stores last Friday. Only one phone caught my eye - Samsung's U600! It has the basic features...camera, mp3s. and yet, its sleek in its design too. I fell in love with it. Haha. But total damage would be $398 - for a 2-year plan. To buy or not to buy? Do I really need it? Sigh. Actually, no. After serious considerations, I decided...to buy the hp that I'm currently using, from Auntie Huang's colleague. I figured it shouldn't be worth more than 50 bucks, because its really old? BUT, I must say its pretty well maintained. Haha. She, saying that it was a free phone (and that she has more spare phones at home), refused to sell it to me. She wants to give it to me. How can! After much negotiation, conclusion's a treat for that phone. Haha, and yay. Yours truly has a hp now. =)

Enough of yekking.

Let's take a peep at some of the photos taken with my TK gals!

All of us - at Werners.

Look at this! Pork Knuckles and German Sausages. Awfully good! And sinful of course.

Team 1 for Cranium: SY and Lawrance

Team 2 for Cranium: PJ & Federick

And voila! Team 3 for Cranium!

Oh and I must add, we won! Hee. We re-grouped for Taboo. And we won again. Haha. This time it's SY, Law, Me Vs the other four.

THE gals. Pris, me, JY, PJ & SY. =)

Uncontactable Me

2007-06-27T17:32:00.000+08:00

More likely than not, I'm going to lose all my contacts/data on my dopod. Damn. Sent it to the servicing centre in Tiong Bahru, and they said they will take about 2-3 days to diagnose what actually is wrong with the phone. It's either the motherboard (which I'm praying its not! For if it is, I'm going to lost all my memory in the phone) or the screen that has to be changed. And as it has passed its one year warranty period, I have to pay for the servicing. Double :(. I asked the guy to give me an estimation of how much I have to pay. If the screen is spoilt, its 100+, and if the motherboard is the culprit...its 500+. Someone stab me. In a dilemma.

Oh, and I heard a couple of sms-es when the guy at the service centre turned on my dopod. Sharks, I think that means I'll not be able to read the messages if...my motherboard spoils. Because whatever choice I make...i.e. to service, or not to service and buy a new phone...I'll still not be able to read the messages. And my contacts...Sob.

How about my trip to the starhub store? *Shakes head* No good deals leh. Sigh. All quite expensive without trade-in. And that's not very helpful taking into consideration that I'm be-roke. Sigh. Shall think over and see how. In the meantime, I'm...uncontactable. Haa. Good in a way too. But wells, for those close enough. You know my home number ya? Ciao!

Hello, Singapore.

2007-06-27T08:57:00.000+08:00

I AM Back!

It's 9.07am now. And surprisingly, I'm filled with zest despite the fact that I just touched down from an 18-hour-long flight. The journey was good! It was my first - travelling alone on a plane, without my family, nor with my friends. Wasn't afraid or anything (I'm a BIG girl already yeah? ;P), but just thought that it would be lonely and boring to fly alone. But thank god it was okay. Haha. For I had spent most of my time on board...sleeping! Watched abit of travel shows, and for the rest of it, I was listening to K-pop and C-pop to bed. And guess what? The seat beside me was empty. Woohoo. Someone up there must have heard my prayers. Haha.

It sure feels good to be home. But, I missed him. Fought hard with those tears at Newark int'l Airport. And thank god, strong me won. Haha. Well, this is life. Luckily there's the ever amazing internet to keep us in touch. To him, "Be good ya? ;)"

Lugged SO MANY things home. Haha. And he, was a fantastic packer/slotter. He jigsaw-puzzled everything into the following bags and box. No joke. It was hell of a lot of things. And needless to say, my pocket is totally burnt now. :(

There you go. Boy are they heavy.

Packing-in-progress.

Did I mention how hungry I was when I touched down? Haha. This is because I only ate one cup noodle and a cup of ben & jerry's on board. Skipped the rest cos I was in lalaland. Haha. But when I reached back home, the feeling subsided. It was way past the hunger point...and I'm not hungry anymore. It's okay. Haaa. The feeling will be back very soon. ;P

Silly dad touched me again with a box of my favourite ferrero rocher on my table. He always buy me a box whenever I come back from a trip. This time together with my favourite "4D" brand preserved mangoes! He thinks I'm not fat enough or what?! Haaa. No lah, joking. He dotes on me, I know. Thanks, dad.

Peek-a-boo. Sinful love awaiting me.

A bad news to disclose. My dopod is officially down. White screen-ed. Thanks to me. I dropped it. :( So dear frens, if you wanna get hold of me, you can try calling. Don't sms okay? I won't be able to read it. Initially, I thought my mum would have a spare phone for me to use temporarily. But sigh, her old phone's down too. Great. And now, there's no spare phone at all. I shall send my dopod for servicing later in the day, and check the stores out if there's any good deals.

I shall go un-pack and take a nice, hot shower! Looking forward to the many meet-ups-to-be-arranged. And 4th July. Not because it's America's Independence Day...but because a particular dearie is coming back. Yays. And to Ms Hong, "where's the post you promised? :P"

It's Time

2007-06-24T15:12:00.000+08:00

I just ate Kimchi again! Oooooooo...Yummy. Simply irresistable. All thanks to the ever doting pig brother of mine. He, knowing that I lurrve Kimchi, cooked it for me once more before I head back to sunny Singapore in 2 days time. Time flies, literally. Especially so when one's having a whale of a time. ;) But wells, all good things have to come to an end...and it's finally time for me to head home. Truth be told, I do think I'm starting to miss it here a little. Done all the touristy stuff, and I more or less feel like a native now. But still, I miss it back home more. ;P And taking into consideration that my pig brother's returning in Aug for 2 weeks...It won't be long till I next see him! Farewell, America.

Lookout for pics, pics and more pics in my next post! (:

2007-06-21T16:16:00.000+08:00

Today's a greeeeat day. Haa. A fabulous day in fact. It has been quite some time since I last chatted this long on msn. Either I'm out, or working hard on you-know-what. For those who have yet to hear from me...don't be mad at me k? I'll be back reeeeal soon, I promise. ;) Tomorrow's Fri! Yay. A day all working adults look forward to. And to a special you, N'ayez pas peur! Good luck cherie!!!! =))

The New York METS

2007-06-14T14:22:00.000+08:00

A newly acquired interest of mine...BASEBALL!

When in America, do what the Americans do! Haha, and you so gotta catch a baseball game! Thanks to my brother's gf, we got free tickets to the New York METS baseball game in Flushing, NY! It was AWESOME. The crowd. The 3-in-a-row home-runs! The cheering. Wooo. An experience of a lifetime. It's amazing how sports can bring people of all walks of life together. Seriously.

Not exactly proud to say...but it was my first time watching baseball. Hang on. I mean...I haven't watched baseball AT ALL prior to this. Not even on TV. Hence, other than "Home-run"...haha, I know nuts about this game. But thanks to a METS fan (my cousin, Jim), I grasped the fundamentals of the game pretty fast...and to my surprise, I actually started liking the game very much! To the extent...we actually went to play baseball few days after. AND...I got myself my very first jersey. A METS jersey. Haaa, sounds crazy right? I know.

Something's wrong with blogger pic tonight...can't seem to be able to upload anything at all. But it's alright! Will show ya all the pics next time k? Shall tuck myself to bed with Jemima J. Ha, she's so funny.

Wild Wild West

2007-05-29T13:34:00.000+08:00

TADA!

At your highnesses' request, I'm blogging! Despite being half-awake at 1.35am. Ha.

How's everyone back home? For most (working), it's gonna be mid-week tomorrow! Cheer up my dears! And to a particular Miss Wee...Bet you must be super excited right now. All packed I'm sure. Take gooood care of your delicate lil' tummy and have loads of fun in Tokyo k? Ohyes, and remember to think of me when you're there! *winks*

Gosh. At a wink, I've been away for 2 weeks already! Without further ado, allow me to bring you through my little quest here in the Wild Wild West with my pictures.

Stony Brook University (Long Island, New York)

THE happy graduate and us. =) The main reason for this trip.

Look at us! All stiff and shivering! The ceremony was at an outdoor stadium in school, and guess what? It rained. heavily. However so, the show HAS to go on! Hence we were all given raincoats and we braved the cold for 3 hours out there. Brrr. It was really veeerry cold. Despite being summer, the weather's weird.

Brother's gf and aunt. Haaa. That's our uniform for the day.

Uncle's Place (New Jersey)

Ooooooooooh...KIMCHI CHIGAE! Lurves it. =) The chef at work.

My brother's friends came over for BBQ. Quite a nice bunch of people. =) Oh btw, haha. We played fireworks again that night. And I realised I'm not that timid afterall! Lols. All the other girls (except Mimi and myself) didn't even dare to try. And the guys...they sprinted darn fast too. Wahahaha.

Us with sparklers after playing with fireworks. Had a fun time!

At a Golf Range nearby
Not too bad! Haa. The ball flew (and not dropped), thank god. I'm beginning to like this sexist game more and more.

Flushing (New York)

From left to right:
Alan, Sylvia, Roger, Edward, Pig brother, Mimi, Me & Jin.

Jin's my brother's good buddy! He's a korean, darn intellegent and pretty cute! (Haaa!) He specially flew over from Minnesota (where he just got his masters) to attend my brother's graduation ceremony... how sweet. He stayed with us for a couple of days and headed back to Korea. This meetup was a farewell gathering for him.

Atlantic City (New Jersey) Atlantic City's a little gambling sea front in New Jersey. It's about 2 hours drive away from my Uncle's place and we stayed there for a night. Look at this sugar store! Very interesting. Similar to candy empire back home. See that elephant in the picture? It's made of many jelly beans! (Of course, its jelly beans look-alike)

I was like a child in this store.

Choc's definitely my life-saver.

Look at that! There's that many flavours of M&Ms!

There was an outlet in Atlantic City. Haa, and being shopaholics, how can we miss it?! This leather jacket costs $200. And I so liked the cut! Everyone said I looked good in it too. HAaa. But darn. It's way too pricey. So we made a pact, if we won $200 from the casino, we'll come buy it! AnD YES. It's still in the store.

In a shopping mall by the sea.

Look up the ceiling! Star-strucked.

My favourite machine!

Who says gambling only splits up family. It can bond family together too! Haha. Yes, that's us...on our winning streak! But as you know. Gambling VS Man. Man will always be at the losing end. Why? Because we're never satisfied. So we play and play...till we lose what we initially won.

I've actually got more pictures...I shall post them up the next time okie? :) I'm fighting hard with the Z-ViRUS. And I'm losing. Haaa. Shall go to bed after I click "Publish Post". Take care folks!!! Especially the one in paris. AAF! *BIG HUGS*

Fire!

Haha, here's a comical scene of yours truly lighting up the rocket! Pls tell me it's NOT thaaaat funny afterall. My pig brother's impossibly tickled by this clip that he keeps requesting I re-play the clip and laughs non-stop everytime it is played.

Away from Home

2007-05-16T03:17:00.000+08:00

HI MY DEARS!!

I've safely reached NY! ;)

To everyone back home: I am good! Hee. And the one thing that can prove that would be... I've got my appetite back! And I'm wide awake at 10.33pm! *winks* (I have been dead asleep by 8pm for the past 2 nights!!! Can you believe it???!!)

I lost my appetite, for nearly 2 days. Why? I'm not sure if it was the result of my own cooking on Mother's day (Haha) or the trip to the Zoo a day before (My poor zoo khakis, Dan & 33, are down too!), but, sadly, I was down with food poisoning/stomach flu (Doctor couldn't diagnose which it was as the symptoms for both are the same). Puked a total of 4 times (from 4am - 8am), and got 2 jabs on my butt just before my 10.50am flight to NY. What luck right! Ha. But thank god I managed to survive the ungodly 18 hours in air. I think I puked a truckload of say...3 meals?! Shrugs, an absolutely horrible experience! Right Dan??? That poor boy puked too after I left.

Did I also mention I lost 2.5 pounds??? (That would be approx 1.1kg) Haha! Yippie!!! I was telling Dan & Elv that perhaps this is God's way of telling me that I should be watching my weight! Lol. But don't worry! It's all coming back together with my appetite!

I'll be mainly staying at my uncle's place (in New Jersey) during my stay here in the States. But we'll be heading down to Long Island (2-3 hours drive) tomorrow for 2 days to attend my brother's honors award ceremony (in the evening) and main graduation ceremony (the next day).

A lil' itinerary planned out for the next two weeks...popping by Atlantic City (where the casino is. OHNO...money's so gonna go!), Boston, Washington and of course not to forget...the BIG APPLE...NYC! I'm asking my brother to slot in an adventure ride too! Perhaps white water rafting or sth! Hee. So looking forward. Super random, but we lighted fireworks in our backyard earlier! So fun!!! WHeee! Alrightys. I shall end here with a few pics for tonight. Good night folks!~* Take care!!!

Here's a picture of us all feasting at AppleBee's! I so love their Buffalo Wings!! =))

We were playing at like 7+am in the morning? Over here, the sun rises at like 5+ in the morning, and sets at about 8+ at night. The day's uber long in summer! The weather's very good now. About 15 degrees. Jussssssst nice!

Happy Mother's Day!

2007-05-13T21:57:00.000+08:00

To my dearest mummy, HAPPY MOTHER's DAY! =)

This year's celebration was quite different from previous years. We organised a joint mother's day celebration. Ha. i.e. all the mummys (from my dad's side) gathered together at Jim's (my cousin) place for dinner. My mum's side came over last night. And the crux of it all, was that every family had to bring something they whipped up themselves for the dinner! Ha. It's really heart-warming and fun to see everyone (All mothers except myself and Jim, and our 3rd Aunt) busy at work in the kitchen! Haha. Jim & I fried rice! AND surprisingly, its voted the BEST dish out of all! Wahahaha! And that's according to the Daddys' feedback. But well, we did put in loads of effort and sweat k! Lol. So...we do deserve the praise!!! Hee.

Healthy Lifestyle

2007-05-08T14:53:00.000+08:00

I just came back from a 1-hr run. To East Coast, and back. The weather's awesome! The Sun is out! It's windy! The air is fresh! Haha, everything falls so nicely in place. I guess when one's in a good mood, everything just seems to be good. Ya??? Haha.

Btw, the bedok park connector outside my house is up! I can now safely (with the pathways) jog to bedok reservoir or east coast park! Cool. Anyway, while I was jogging, ONE particular song was on repeat mode on my Creative Muvo. Tao2 Tai4 by Eason Chan! Haa, but this particular song I downloaded (courtesy of Daniel Ng Hua Qing...haha) wasn't sung by Eason. It's sung by Jay Chou!!! How come? Its a demo song sung by him - the one who wrote and composed this song for Eason. Check out the lyrics. ;) Love the song. Ai4 Qing2 Zhuan3 Yi2 - another song by Eason is nice too!

To all of you out there: Have a great week ya!!! =)

Thank-You!

2007-05-07T10:36:00.001+08:00

This post may come forth a little late, but...better late than never right?! Haha. And I'm sure you dahlings won't mind this late "thank-you" post. April was an unforgetable month for me. Not just because it is my birth month. It was also the official announcement and set-up of a particular Council I painstakingly brought up from scratch. Can say, its my baby. So, it kinda weaved a beautiful closure for me at Mcys. =) Sad? A little. Missed anyone? Just 2 actually. Missed anything? Haha. *NEH* Hands-off! Liberated. Very in fact. I can finally breathe at my own pace, own time. (Not exaggerating, but nevertheless, it's all over...and I'm soo glad it is.)

Well, life has to go on. And I'm sure life's gonna be nothing but better! One chapter closed. And I'm all excited to enter the next! (cross-heart!) Like how I'll always be when episode 100000 of Prison Break ends. Haha. So yeah, if you guys know of any job lobangs...pl call me! Ha!

Alrighty. Back to the main objective of this post...I'll very much like to thank every single one of you who have made this 23rd birthday of mine such a special and spectacular one. A big thank you to everyone (esp a particular angel in paris) who called and messaged to wish me happy birthday.

First, would be the 3 sweet dahlings...Dan, Elv & Siwei. Ha. Thanks for being the FIRST (okie, 2nd. first was my mummy! hehe.) to wish me Happy Birthday! These 3 sweethearts actually came all the way to my pigsty to surprise me with a cheesecake at 12am sharp - despite their busy schedules, and work the next day! Omg. To think I even caught a movie with Elv that very evening. I never expected to see her again after like...3 hours?!! Haha. I so wanna squeese you 3 hard. Thanks for everything. *muacks*

Next, would be family of cos. Haa. My daddy's not a surprise kind of person. He would always ask me what I want, or what I want to eat on my birthday. And, for those who know me, I'm not one who minds all these...anywhere will do! anything will do! Its the thought that counts. Haha. But yes, I normally choose my birthday presents. Wahahaha. But this year, I told him..."Daddy, I really dunno what I want. Don't need lah". Can u believe it! I told him no need leh!

And so...did I end up with nothing? Or was it just a meaningless red packet? Neither! Ha. He din't consult me. Neither did he consult my mum. He just went to parkway on the day itself, after work, and got me a camera! Just like that. And he got me the coolest one. In red. And tada...that's the bday gift from my dear parents.

My mummy, although she played no part in the buying of the present, she specially woke up earlier on the 19th to cook a bowl of ai-xin mian for me. Haa. What about my brother in the big apple? And my cousin Jim in Singapore? They consolidated their resources and got me a wallet! Red one too. I loved it. But it was darn ex, and I chided them for getting such an expensive gift. I know they want the best for me. But still shdn't lah. They said..."Every girl have to own a XX". Ha. Wells, it's not me. not me. not now. I still can't bear to spend so much on a wallet/bag/shoe/watever. I think its how you carry it. Not what you carry. i.e. even if its a no-brand bag, if you can carry it off well, it may jolly well look even better than a branded bag. haha. Right? That's how I feel. Nevertheless, I appreciate their thoughts very much. And i...do like the wallet v much. But, no more ya! Haa. I count myself as one very very blessed girl. Blessed for being born into this family. And I can thank god no more for that. =)

And next, Eileen & Ping - my closest pals from TJC. My JC life wasn't exactly one smooth-sailing. And these 2 ladies made a huge difference to it all. There are not many frens who I can bear my heart to, who I can spend with w/o talking. And they're definitely one of the few. I absolutely love their company. Talking about them. They're in Melbourne right now, for their grad trip!! *wails* Yes, w/o me. =( And they are going to try out Sky-diving! How cool is that! I'm all excited just hearing abt it. Haha. These 2 sweethearts actually secured a ticket for me when they went tour-hunting. But alas, I can't dearies...my pocket's aldy burnt. Nm! Remember our Krabi trip? Ha. Let's schedule that! Sent them off at the airport on Saturday. Ha, somehow...the airport just has this magical ability that cheers me up. Other than on occasions when I see my loved ones off for loooong trips...I like the airport very very very much. Ohya, I din't mention how they celebrated my birthday for me. It was a unique one. Haha. Back in NTU, where we all "studied", and pigged out together. Dan came to join us too. Those silly girls. We've been through quite abit, and thanks for everything. Especially seeing me through my darkest period in JC. *Hugs*

The Tk-gers. Hahaha. The so so expected surprise. Lols. Imagine receiving an sms few days before your birthday asking you what your office address is? Haha. So obvious right? Omg. What were you girls thinking. Haha. But nevertheless, thanks for the lovely flowers. Thanks for the chocs. Thanks for thought itself. It made my day! And luckily it ended up at home. I couldn't imagine the scene it would have caused if it was delivered to my place. Lols. Thanks my dear girls.

And of course, not to forget THE Market. First and foremost, sorry for turning up late at hardrock. Ha, I was unwell and so...shd be forgiven ya? It was a horrible day for me. I had an awful cold...so I went to sleep it off. Thank god it went away, fast. Thanks for coming for dinner & ktv! Dinner was at hard rock cafe, and it was my very first time there, it was good! Dint really savour much of the food, but I liked the baked potato skin e most! Haa. Ohyes, and thanks for the nike watch. Loved the design, loved the colour, loved how it looks so good. Of cos, credit has to go to the lovely 3 who shopped for it. Haha. *winks* Thanks! BTW, it's on my wrist right now. Hee.

Haaa. Pl bear with me for a little while more. There are a couple more individuals I wanna specially thank. Thanks to Elv who got me this "punch-stick" for hitting my back. I chose it ya??? Hahaha, although the way i figured out the surprise was off as you said...but alas, the feeling was right. Thanks for the puzzle too! I know you hate that pic...but because it's my fav, you had it printed on the puzzle. Awww. And did I ever tell you that I love fixing puzzles? Haaa. Thanks sweetheart.

Thanks to Js whom handcrafted a very sweet birthday note. Thanks for being so so thoughtful. You're the one who goes to the finest detail, and I really appreciate it. You listen, and take every word I say to heart. Thanks girl. It will definitely be up my wall. *winks*

And also to a particular pig, he was the first (okay, as i said...strickly speaking my mummy was first, but haha. okie..let me continue) AND the last to wish me happy birthday. The pig also appeared on the very day to surprise me with awfully thoughtful gifts. Every gift has a meaning behind it. Cool right? I was very touched. Very very. Thanks thanks thanks. =)

That kind of sums up my Birthday Thank-YouS! I just wanna let ALL of you know that, I appreciate your presence in my life, and I cherish every single one of you very much. Though I may not have a fantastic memory, and I may be blur to my surroundings at most times...haha. I try my best to do whatever I can for this friendship. So, thanks for being part of my life!

BTW, its pretty off topic to mention this at this point in time, but I'm so so happy for two of my dearestest friends. Hahaha. So happy that I wanna pen it down here! Lol. One is Ms Constance Chong. And the other, is Ms Adeline Tan. HAHA! 2 sweethearts I got to know fr Uni. I can't describe in words my actual feelings , but I'm just very very happy from the bottom of my heart for both of you. *WHEE* ;)

2007-04-24T00:07:00.000+08:00

Haha. Totally out of the blue.

I was working on an assignment prior to this. And as usual, upon accomplishing the mind-absorbing task, I decided to reward myself by taking a break, and feast on sth sinful - Meiji for tonight (i had initially not bear to eat it, but I even more cannot bear to see it rot n disintegrate)!

HENCE, I connected my new love to the computer, and uploaded the pictures taken at Mediacorp last night. Haaa, cam-whoring as usual. But no sight of THE star. Lols. Gotta wait for "Happy"! But nevertheless, let's take a look at US at our seats first k!

TOP-dowN....

Bottoms-uP!

And the view fr my seat!

That's us up at the circle seats. Seatings were on a first-come-first-serve basis, and we arrived...nearly on the dot lah. Doors opened at 630. And haha, we arrived at 6.45 if I din't remember wrong? Just 15 mins only! ;P But no good seats were left already. Especially for a group of 8. Recording starts at 7.30...soo. we've got a good 45 mins to scan ard, chat and cam-whore. It was soo exciting! Ha, esp. 1 min before the show started. WHY? Because we were actually running. (Pfmq, I hurried despite my painful back wor. Haha. But thinking abt it, the pain that night was actually quite worrying. And my back had never been straighter than it ever was that night.) o-k-a-y. Brisk walking (to be exact) to the stall seats... all thanks to this kind usher who informed us that there are actually more seats avail downstairs. And of course, for better seats...we chiong-ed lah! And the show started slightly before we reached our "new" seats! We were all uber sensitive to the number 16 that night. Lols. And when we hear a particular name. We cheered! Did a particular dahling hear us? Haha. And the night ended shortly with some food at the post-event reception. Craved for prata that night...The one at casuarina to be exact. BUT...the bikini segment totally totally spoilt my appetite lor. Hahaha. No lah! Honestly, I was just too tired thereafter to eat prata already. Because there's work today!!!!

=========================================

An MTV shot to end the night with! Ha, I dunno why, but I started looking thru' the Europe photos again. AHHH. Teleport US back! Haa.

The Singapore-7s in Paris!

P/S For those who are worried abt my old back, no worries!!!! Nth too serious cause I'm recovering! Ha, thank god. So, no worries ya! =)

2007-04-23T07:22:00.000+08:00

You've done us proud sweetheart! ;)
Greeaaat job!!!

2007-04-22T10:20:00.000+08:00

21st April 1983 marks the birth of A SUPER-PIG. And that's my dear fren MR DANIEL NG HUA QING. So, here's a lil' post specially for the birthday boy.

I had initially wanted to write tis last night, but thanks to my totally unsupportive back, it had to be adjourned to today. But it all doesn't matter right? I.T.T.C! (if you remember what it stands for) Haha!

Thinking back, this pig-ship of ours is coming to a near...4 years?!! Wow. It's scary to see how time flies by just like that - at e snap of our fingers. Still remember our first project 2gether? AA101! (Ha, see my memory's still not thaaat bad lar). And it has been a flight of wonderful experiences ever since. Thanks for everything you've done for me Mr Pig. Totally totally appreciate from within. And as I've said to you...I jus wish the bestestESTEST for my dear pig-fren - YOU. Stay happy, healthy, pig-looking and witty always k! Haa!

THE sweeeeeeeeeeeeetest pig-fren I've got =)

P/S I'm still enthusiastically awaiting UR BIG DAY ya?! Haha. I'm saving aldy! *wInkz*

华清，猪你生日快乐！！！

2007-04-20T11:03:00.000+08:00

I thought it would not matter that much initially.
But in reality, everything single gesture made a hella difference.

Xie Xie. Terima Kasih. Thank YOU. Merci Beaucoup. Kamsahamida.

=)

2007-04-17T08:08:00.000+08:00

You asked me to make a choice.

I made.

In fact, I made it long ago.

But you kept asking, kept pressurizing.

I answered fr the bottom of my heart, and you said I shd get my priorities right.

Darn.

Then why ask in the first place?!

Apr rawks!

2007-04-16T23:12:00.000+08:00

SHOCK-ED.

2007-04-11T23:58:00.000+08:00

"Stars...we all are.
Gorgeously divine."

NOW....... I geddit.

BTW, to a particular Ms Fong...I'm still ANGRY. *ROAR* You better do sth to appease me.

An hour ago, Siwei shocked me on MSN with a URL. An hour later, I'm still shocked. Not a tad less shocked. My heart practically "fell" out! (I have a weak heart know) OHMYGAWD. ONE month...and we knew nuts about it. HOWEVER ANGRY, I'm still v proud of this dear girl of ours! You...are totally amazing. No mean feat. Impressed by your guts dear. I...LOSS for words.

But as you would always say to me...I wanna say to you now...BHASHYA PFMQ!!!

We'll definitely be there on the 22nd to rooooot for you!

I have a prob now. I won't be able to sleep tonight!!! How???!!

BACK FR REDANG!

2007-04-11T22:10:00.000+08:00

"As long as u're happy, i'm behind u all way!"

"Whatever decision u make, u'll always have my vote of support ok!!"

Touched. Serious. And I love you both for that. Other than family, its pretty tough to have frens who stay by you no matter what ordeal (i.e. sh*t) comes along. Even though the rationale may not be totally rational...the most impt thing to them is...u're happy. That's all that really matters. For that, I feel like giving you a big squeezy hug now!

I'm dedicating this post to a particular sweetheart. One who spent 18 mins on the phone w me albeit not being a "phone" person. One who beeps me early in the morn (it has come to a pt where i can feeeeel its you when i hear my sms ring just by my gut feel ;P believe?) just to keep my spirits high. One who checks my uber inactive blog regularly, gets disappointed most of the time, but yet never fails to come back e next day (haha. maybe not everyday. i dunno. but every other at least) Thanks my dear. Thanks for making that exception for me.

Feeling a little nostalgic today. Listening to "断点" and looking at the masterpiece Mr Ng Hua Qing made for me. Miss those times. But wells, life has to move on. You have to move with the clock ya? I just hope everyone is doing well in their career/studies and is h-a-p-p-y.

Am I happy? Are you happy? It's a choice isn't it? I want to be happy. & I'm happy most of the time I feel. Just that sometimes, I simply just can't deceive myself but sink into a world of just me, myself and I. For most, you would probably have realised that I'm pretty bad at expressing my feelings...especially so when it's on the downside. So when that happens, I really do appreciate frens/family just being by my side, even not talking, but just accompanying helps big time. ;-) Really. It's the thought more than anything else, and I CAN feel it.

O-K-I-E-S. Shall start my post proper k?

I'm baaack! or I shd say, we're baaack! (did anyone miss me? ;P)

Haha, as most would have known, 5 other marketeers and myself departed from Stressful Singapore last Thursday for a short (2 D/2N to be exact) but absolutely rejuvenating retreat at Pulau Redang! A pity Fmq, Ade, Js & Liqi couldn't join us in the end. And yes, that's the place they filmed "Xia Ri Mo Mo Cha" casting Ritchie Yen & Sammi Cheng. I liked the movie. And now, thanks to this trip, I'll never forget the movie. Haha, you guys know why.

This was my 2nd trip to Redang actually. Both were awfully good times, but the experiences were quite different. For the first, it was a family holiday in...2004! We took a propeller plane (sounds a lil' scary but its pretty stable!) via Berjaya Air, that could take up to 50 pax, from seletar airport to Redang itself. Yeah, as expected, its pretty costly...say near $350? And guess how long it took us to reach the destination? 1 1/2 hrs!!! (Dear khakis, considering my damaged memory, the time I stated was quite near lah har? haha) Gasps. A hell lot of diff as compared to the ungodly 15 hrs bus+boat+stop-over/waiting time to reach Redang. BUT, cost also hell lot of diff. We should have stayed looonger this trip! - to make our travelling time more worthwhile. But nevertheless, thanks to the company (especially a particular "horse"), the journey was bearable...in fact, pretty enjoyable - more so for the return trip when time seemed to fly past with us chatting thru the entire journey (nearly).

That would be the difference in the level of comfort travelling. Oh, there's also one condition tied to Berjaya Air - you have to stay in Berjaya Resort - an exclusive resort along a separate stretch of beach. And that's alightly more costly too. Basically Berjaya's more exclusive, where you have the entire stretch of beach just dedicated to the guests of Berjaya Resort. Whereas on the otherhand, Pasir Panjang (the commercialised stretch where we stayed this time round) had like...more than 10 over resorts along one stretch of beach?

Two different locations, but other than those stated above, beach resorts are still beach resorts. A place to enjoy, catch your breath, zap out of work, and eat till you "dor" - literally. It was a troubles-free trip. I was happy...from within. And I snacked like nobody's business on this trip. Boy do I not dare to put myself on the weighing scale now. If I have a choice again, I would still go for the bus! Ha, but stay longer for sure! Someone told me that she was taught to make do with whatever she has since young. And I feel that that's a priceless skill to have. Learn to be satisfied with what you have, make the most out of it, and you'll be happy. ;)

**PHOTOS TIME**

Me, Elv & 33 after breakfast! (LOOK at the backdrop. Jaws drop. Beautiful!! Just as what you see on my wallpaper. White sand. BLUE sea. BLUE sky. Loves it.)

ALL 6 of us (Dan, Andy, myself, Elv, 33 & her swimming instructor, Siwei!)

The guys... (pretty good bods eh! SHHH. don't let them hear.)

Elv and me by our balcony! We got the deluxe pool view!

The girls! I think I broke a couple of Elv's bones. Haha. This was taken outside the More More Tea Inn where the show was filmed. The entire Tea Inn is a gift store now (2-levels). The 2nd level used to be a KTV area (3 years back).

REACH for the STARS!!

My first time on a hammock too. And I enjoyed my swing! Ha, with Mr Pig forcefully swaying the hammock.

OUR room! Haha, with 33's facial pdts.

"Urgh...Why why why! I want to sleep!!!!!"

Haha, surprisingly yours truly WOKE UP (slept only for TWO hours) for sunrise! Tks to Miss Wee! Haha. The fierce "alarm clock". Thereafter, we charged into our neighbouring room to wake this PIG up! Worthwhile! V beautiful. Though we din't see the yolk rising (again!), but the scene was breathtaking. HAHA. Till I unconsciously walked towards the horizon with my camera, disappeared for a moment, and for the mkt worried for awhile. Sorry my dears!

One of the many scenic shots I snapped. ;)

Elv told us about the "Blue sand" that Summer told her about. Apparently, many tourists were in search for it too. One of the frenly staff at Laguna told us that it is actually an organism that gets swept up the shore. You just have to gently brush through the sand, and you will see them!! - IF you're lucky! AND we did! on our 2nd night! Tks to lucky chap Mr Ng! He did not even have to brush any sand. The waves came along, and left TWO grains of the blue sand in front of him. Bright luminous blue. Kudos to him!

Mr Ng and me...(Taking into consideration tt we only slept for 2 hours! we looked pretty energetic yeh? ha)

Final group photo. BYEBYE REDANG!! :(

Miss Wee and me! Taken on the bus - the 15 hour long journey! Haa, but it was crazy...we yekked for like 14 out of the 15 hours! But it was good. Din't feel tired at all! ;)

To the lovely 5: Thanks for the priceless company! I totally totally enjoyed the 2D/2N with you! Ha, and as what another Mr Ng said, travelling together really deepens the understanding you have towards your travel mate...and vice versa. I cherish this time spent together with you, and I'm looking forward to more trips!!! May I earn more money...to splurge on more trips! Ha.

2007-03-24T04:35:00.000+08:00

Sleep less, do more. I think that shall be my motto for the coming month...before my escape to the big apple. There's just so much that I feel I've been deprived of - thanks to you-know-what. I wasn't even let off on my off-day! Wth.

Actually, I have 2 draft posts which I had typed on 2 occasions last week but never had the chance to finish them. (I think on 1 occasion, I was disturbed by the 2 rascals - my cousins) Since what was felt then, is no longer felt now, let's just give them a miss.

I had a good ~~day~~ half-day break today. succumbed to my sinful cravings for old chang kee curry puffs. arrr. haa. sh*t. i'm growing, but heck la. what's the point of having an unhappy but slim jamie...right? have come that point where food cheers me up again.

what else did i eat today? oh! mummy's yummy cheesecake (yah lah, i din't help to bake. haha am lazy.), ramen 100 maggie mee for lunch and thai village sharksfin for dinner - a treat! The whole world (my colleagues) has been 'fighting' to treat recently...why? ask the garmen. performance bonuses lor. & promotions. ha, but also good 'cos i get to eat good food freeee. haha.

caught "music & lyrics" casting hugh grant & drew barrymore! ha, pretty good! i enjoyed it! romantic comedy...the usuals for hugh grant. I think he's looking good again as compared to the previous time i saw him....in 2 week's notice? i think so. anyway, the songs in e movie are still kinda ringing in my head...80s pop rawk! Rolling Stones rawwwk! (would love to have the mp3s if u have!) i think i would jus melt and die shd someone compose a song for me!

Things I'm looking forward to:
.1 Titoudao later
.2 Auntie Huang's bday celeb! ;)
.3 Redang retreat on 4 Apr
.4 Big apple in May

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. sooo looking forward to the 2 retreats outta sunny island.

2007-03-05T23:40:00.000+08:00

I realised I just stabbed myself unknowingly.

Actually, only a handful knew about the performance last night. Even Uncle and Auntie Huang were turned down when they wanted to come support. So, I wasn't biased whatsoever hor. ;P

Had lessons today. And I think I'm uber motivated to improve my lacklustre performance after last night. Ha. Waay to go! Thinking of getting a better black & white. Shd I?

To you whom I owe a kiss, *muuuacks* nxt fri!

2007-03-04T11:57:00.000+08:00

It went well! Not perrfect, but I can say, I did my best. with those icy hands that din't seem to be mine then. haha. SHO, no regrets whatsoever.

And like what a dear one said tonight..."Enjoy THE moment!". ;)

Thanks for the SMS-es (especially the morale booster in the morning, and the one that came from the forested island!), Thanks for the Calls, Thanks for the lovely surprise.

Serious! *toouuched!* And the sunflower! awww. I nearly teared know! Haa, thanks thanks and more thanks.

Haa, AND not to forget, Thanks daddy, mummy! my sweetest fans! *muacks*

"Pursuit of Happyness!" - i soo wanna catch it!

2007-02-27T23:57:00.000+08:00

"It is who you are, and who you know that is most important. NOT what you know.", a wise one shared this with me some time back. I can't help but agree, especially in this practical world of ours where power prevails. And those powerless (aka small fry, or "kang chang pu teh" to mgr fmq ;P) always kenna the shit. Okay, not at all times, but MOST.

*BAH* Happy thoughts happy thoughts! How was your CNY break? Mine was good! 1st 2 days were quality time well spent, 3rd was rest day, followed by work the next day. Arr. Haha. I have been eating hell-a truck-full of sinful food. chocolates aplenty! pineapple tarts! did i tell you i'm a sucker for that?! crispy cuttlefish! durian feast! not too much of bak kwa this time round. But those 4 I've mentioned are sufficient to burst my waistline. gasps.

Okay...before I turn in, here's a couple of pics for ya. I'll be back soon! probably this weekend ya? (: AJA AJA to this insanely week!!!

A shot capturing my brother, jim & myself - all on big flat computer screen! proudly taken by yours truly. wahaha~* How can a New Year be complete w/o this pig brother of mine?! All of us gathered in Jim's room first thing first on the 1st day to web-cam with him! Be good in NY ya big brother??? I'm commingg sooooon! (:

& that's us! - This is not a print screen! But another shot taken with my dad's SE K800i by mua. hohoho~* Cute hor?! Ha, I mean the way the shots are taken. I had to juggle between directing my cuz and i to look at the screen, SMILE, and position the phone to take the shot. haha, must give myself some credit for that. hehe.

Okay fellow comrades! That's all for now, Good night~* (Haha, a couple = 2. correct mah. lols.)

2007-02-21T23:50:00.000+08:00

HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR My dears!!!

I've been wanting to post. But never actually got down to doing it. haha. I think I got infected with the Lazy bug too, Elv! So, to whoever's still reading my blog...haha. I apologise for the regular hiatus that have and may come by. (Whoops)

Alright, better not digress before I run outta brain cells. Haha, I shall elaborate this another time. But if you happen to have read today's Mind Your Body, you shd know what I'm referring to. ;P

OKAY. Today's main focus would be on these 6 items! haa, as tagged eons ago (BUT HEH!! better late than never rite sweetheart?). And today's aptly the right time to post it up! But it's pretty hard...as honestly, there's nothing weird about me!! haha. Okay, I'll try!!! Here GOes...!

1. I used to dislike pink when I was a little girl. Haha, considered a weird thing for a girl ya? I dunno why, but I guess I was overly overwhelmed with pink in the past. A tad too much for then me. Haha. I used to have...a Pink wardrobe. Pink table. Pink curtains. Pink bedsheet. Pink i dunno what. Everything seemed to be Pink then. But somethings just can't be explained. The irony's I love the colour now! Of cos, my fav. is still blue. But pink rawks! Like all bright colours. ;)

2. I have a tendency to bend my toes inwards, with the nails facing the floor when I'm shoeless. Hence, my nail polish always get scraped off. Don't ask me why...haha. I'm equally clueless.

3. Alrighty, this I think most are aware of. Especially my sleeping khakis. Haha. My eye's uber sensitive. And especially when I'm tired, I rub my eyes darn hard when I sleep. And trust me, I'm totally unaware until I see myself in the mirror the next day. Actually, before even looking at the mirror, I could aldy feel it. The tightness in my eyes. Then it gets swollen. real BAD. To counter this, I experimented dropping a few eyedrops in my eyes before sleeping. Worked! But best solution's...to have sufficient sleep.

4. Wot else? Okay! I know. I don't eat OYSters. Somehow, I'm deemed weird by many. i.e. my Mother! my Father! my Brother! all loooove Oysters. EEeks. Firstly, it lookS horrendous...like an eyeball. Secondly, i Feel nauseous with that slimy thing in my mouth. The tabasco and lemon ain't strong enough to cover the fishy taste. In short, it's Poison to me. HAhhahaa.

5. My guts get smaller as I AGE. Haa, I reaally think so. LOLs.

6. I like everything icy. ICY. Literally.

TADAAAAAAAAA! (: Mission accomplished.

Happy Birthday Minqian! Happy Birthday to the Feb Babies! And to the special one last Sun! Haa, Feb's filled with Birthdays somehow!

When's April gonna come???!!!

2007-02-05T20:05:00.000+08:00

Have been wanting to post this up since that night.
I'm on your side, & I firmly believe in the belief you're holding tight to... Hang on there my dear cuz!

2007-01-31T23:54:00.000+08:00

I-was-on-strike-today. No work. No stress. No tai-chi game.

Caught "Happy Birthday" with Ade, Fmq, Dawn & Gx.
Casts Louis Koo & Rene Liu. Sad love story - depicting the importance of each other's birthdays, and the birthday greetings that kept it going.

I was...a tad disappointed.
Hilarious moments, yes.
Pretty faces, yes too.
But, the standard-story-line...
with a so-expected cliche ending blemished it.

Nevertheless, tears did fell. quite abit and uncontrollably too.

Trigger points:
Scene 1: Girl's granny passes away. (thought of dear sis)
Scene 2: When the "unknown" was revealed (thought of my dear boy. the feelin' came back. hit me hard right at that spot. Birthdays too.)

Alas, it's just a movie. haha. Next on line would be...BABEL! - as reviewed by miwadear. Appealing!! (:

Quite a handful of movies I wanna catch. A couple to mention...Just follow law, Protege, Adrift, Once in a summer!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Tennis-ed today. Tennis-ed yesterday. Tennis-ed 3 days back.
It's so getting into me! Loves it. (:

Although it's just one day, I'm satisfied. re-charged. happy.

AAF!

2007-01-29T23:40:00.000+08:00

THANKS.

Thanks for pulling me outta this pit-hole.
Though unknowingly, it was incredibly effective - allowing light to shine through.

I just hope it ain't gonna be the usual 1-day-long thing.
I hope this light lasts. *cross fingers*

2007-01-21T00:52:00.000+08:00

SIGH.

when will i next see a rainbow?

2007-01-17T23:36:00.000+08:00

Tonight marked the very first time yours truly ever attended any official basketball match!...Singapore against Melbourne. actually, it's any official sports match for me. Not that I have no interest, but I guess it's probably the lacking of sports culture here. Sigh. Anyway, had a good time tonight! Personally witnessed a stylish dunk!! & a couple of clap-worthy 3-pointers! Spied some cute guys too. Haa, Americans (I guess) with Polo Tees having the print "Basketball Tour in Singapore". All in all, a good experience! If time/situation permits, I'll be back for my 2nd! (:

I'm positively sure I'll be missing the National Stadium quite a fair bit after mid-year - when it's time for the demolishing.

2007-01-15T22:44:00.000+08:00

I've been losing appetite recently, esp. during working hours.
Not tt I dread my work, but it's jus the coincidental clashes tt crashes me. Loads to do...fret about. stress about. Till even my Sunday's burnt. Alright, thank god I had a great Sat. ;)

Today's the same. Eyes stared till I see things in threes.
& I reckon it's time to get a back support too. haha.
My bone's not very strong, depite loving milk. ;P

Against all odds...
I managed to stay alive within. with a smile. :)

*cough cough* have been coughing badly tonight.
come on. stop gal stop. stop!

To the one whom only reached home at 8.30pm: You take good care alrighty? *loves* (:

AH. Just received Dawn's response! BON VOYAGE DAWN!!!!!!!! ;) All the best k! I'm sure you'll do us proud in S.Africa! (I wanna go too!) Dawn's heading down to S.Africa in a few hours time to do the nation proud! & She's representing Singapore in a touch-rugby worldcup!!!
Awfully cool right? GO Dawn!!! *WHOOSH*

2007-01-12T00:58:00.000+08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAWN!!!

2007-01-12T00:17:00.000+08:00

The fragility of life.

Went to my bestest girlfriend's grandma's wake earlier. Life's really...volatile. I always feel that...no matter how hard one tries, one can never be able to pre-empt what's gonna happen the very next minute, neither can one ever be prepared enough to face it bravely when it happens.

Sad fact, but true.

That's life, and we've got to learn to accept it. These are all phases that everyone will go through, sooner or later. So...as I've said to 2 close ones whom I have a special bond with, cherisssshhhh ME! ha, before you regret. ya? ;)

She knew me in and out. & I guess it's vice versa too.
It's ironically queer how coincidental things can get...
but I totally felt the sadness she was feeling. No amt. lesser in fact. Tried my best to keep my cool, but alas, I failed. *Hugs*
May they both RIP.

2007-01-11T07:26:00.000+08:00

"Think Happy Thoughts...!"

Pictures of the final KTV in 2006 with Ms Fong, Ms Wee & Mr Ng!

Super honoured that Ms Fong actually was ONZ about this KTV! ;)

1st thing we did wasn't to select a song to sing.
neither was it to order drinks of any sort.
wahaha. what did we do??
Bingo!!! We took this photo of ourselves!! Haha.

Ms Fong, Me & Ms Wee.
Squeeze them left, right.

I love this shot.
It's my hp wallpaper now btw. (:

& don't you think hair messed-up is darn stylo??!!
esp. hair messed-up by yours truly! *giggles*

Ms Fong & Me.

Me & Ms Wee.

Me & Mr Ng, with our lunch-boxes.
Oh! & He has finally arrived. Lols.

To end it all: Us 3 again!
Girls are girls ya? ha, cam-whoring's our forte!

30th Dec 2006.

We laughed. We sang. We ate. We fought - We nearly pulled the house down la!

Ha, but I really had an awfully fun time that day! :) I'm sure the rest will agree with me on that. Not forgetting to mention, Ms Fong's canto songs really rawk! I love to hear her sing. Pls sing to me more. Ha. For those who haven't heard her, you really shd hear her sing! Other than being a tad soft...cause she's shy (as if! haha), she can really sing well! *cough coughs* [Exclusive videos taken...for a particular Angel. Haa, for those who wanna hear/see Ms Fong...you've gotta approach the star herself! *runs far before she comes after me*

& as discussed, MORE KTV sessions to come! *winks*

Met 2 dear ones for dinner today. Korean food was yummy.
Most imptly, the company rawks. Thanks ladies. ;)

To the one whom has psychic powers: Thanks for the chocs! ;) Love 'em!

2007-01-09T19:43:00.000+08:00

Today, it rained.

From the moment I stepped out in the morning, till the moment I stepped back in the night.

"Was it a sign?", I thought to myself.

But even if it was, it came by too late.

2007-01-07T23:47:00.000+08:00

A New Blogskin, finally!
Happenings of the day

+ Tennis-ed with the usual suspects in the morning! Scorching. But uber windy all-day. To the extent, my cap even got blown away! grr. Ha. All in all, I spied a lil' improvement! (:
+ Bak Kut Teh along Keppel Rd! Supposedly famous. Loves: the salty veg (A must-have for me during Bak Kut Teh feasts). Crispy you tiao! Pop it into your mouth after a dip in the soup...ahh. yummilicious! The soup?..e first taste was good I felt, but subsequently...it became just alright. Lao Zi Hao at Tiong Bahru still reigns at No. 1 for me. ;P
+ The rascals came, terrorized, and left. But very much lovable still.
+ Yesterday. Boyboy's bandaged. Cone-d. Heart breaks seeing him cone-d and all.

And yes, I haven't forgotten! (:

*** Happy 25th Birthday Mr Koh!! ***

Jumbo Mail Booster!

2007-01-05T02:48:00.001+08:00

2.42 am. An ungodly hour to be still awake on a weekday.

Din't expect it. But I've got Mail!

a JUMBO MORALE BOOSTER. ;)

Wanted to change a blogskin few days back. Selected aldy in fact. But shall adjourn that till the weekend.

Js/33: Welcome back to Singapore!!! Shall bug you for upgrades on the trip tml! (:

Angel: Great to hear fr you, await my response k! *hugs*

Oh no. I hear my bed calling for me.

Shall rest for the night. Bonne nuit!

Happy 2007!!

2007-01-03T08:04:00.000+08:00

Woo. 3rd day of 2007! First day of work!

AAF! ;)

2006-12-29T23:58:00.001+08:00

I'm surprisingly awake tonight. I reckon it's probably due to the amazingly refreshing jog by the East Coast beach earlier. A jog fr Mac all the way to old Bedok Jetty. And an after-dinner stroll all the way back.

Feels good.

The jog triggered some flashbacks which made me realise how significant East Coast Park has been to me.

It brings back quite a number of fond memories. Flashbacks during run: 1)My very first hitch-ride with Rt & the time she helped me with my wood-carving. & 2)Sunrise with the Market gals (Still yet to see the big yolk rise fr the horizon. But the time spent with you gals were awesome). 3) Meteor-gazing at Bedok Jetty in 1999.

Rt: I don't know if you actually read this. But it's sad to see how this friendship of ours has evolved to this state. Sighs. Nevetheless, hope you're leading a life you yearned for!

As I typed, more memories surfaced...to name a few, we have... The largest sandcastle (Trombone-shaped) I've ever built in my life. Tkgssb beach events. Chalets with Market, Core-class, Tkgers. The first time being shocked with a "ILY" writing on the sand. Blading/Cycling sessions with Market & Family. The scene of our very first Ntu core-class outing. Wooo. Most were happy events! ;)

I lurve the beach. Somehow, I seem to have this close affinity with water in general. Be it literally going down into the water, or just purely sitting by...either as a spectator to a particular sport, or just purely enjoying the breeze and view. It makes me happy! Ha, strange ya? By the way, I was spectating the cable-ski earlier, & had this urge to wanna try too! This would come forth as a much cheaper alternative and practice-platform for future wakeboard sessions! But timing's bad. It's the time of the month.

Come to think of it, time really flies. 2005 seemed like just yesterday, and to think we're aldy heading into 2007 in 2 days time! Hope to have as little regrets as possible for the new year. Hence, I've come to a conclusion...whatever I wanna do, or feel like doing...just GAN GAN QU ZUO! Live like there's no tomorrow my friends! Bhashya! I'll work towards that! *winks*

Today marked the last friday of 2006. The last day of work in 2006. & The start of a 4-day break. Every reason to rejoice over! *grinz* Enjoying the moments! Let's all look forward to a fabulous year ahead! =) CHEERS!

2006-12-23T12:57:00.000+08:00

I has a fantabulous time yesterday.
Be it work, meeting, play, dine! ;) Rawks.
2 gifts. I'm loving it!

Special thanks to another sweetheart - heart melts. sugar-high.
It's remarkable how fate plays a part to bring ppl together ya? most of the time...it's clearly a "click" or "off" kinda thingy. But with this particular dearie, haha. it's some sort of a mix. but a good mix surprisingly! You really need to know her, to be able to understand her thoughts. though sometimes (or rather most of the times), there ain't any logic behind her actions. wahaha. oops. but that's the thing which makes her shine from the rest. *muaaaaaaaaacks* Thanks for your "heart"! Love it. Comparing to the time I received my first "heart", the impact was NO less this time round. ;)

Indian Pale Ale at The Pump Room rawks. I like it. ;) Won't mind another pine. haha.

2006-12-19T23:55:00.000+08:00

I can't believe it. It's still pouring!

A near non-stop islandwide shower since Monday. And it has so shockingly resulted in floods to occur in the northern and western territories. Far East Flora's very badly affected. ;( And the waters actually hit knee-level a point in time.

I don't mean to laugh at this critical moment, but... it's so funny. A lady whom was interviewed claimed that the rain washed off her car-plate! Ha okay, not so funny now. But you should SEE and HEAR her yourself.
P.S. can check out the video on ST interactive!

Hope the rain's gonna stop real soon. reeeeal soon.

2006-12-18T23:24:00.000+08:00

Things which add-ed light to my gloomy-iest Monday.

1. a ring, b4 official work time, fr someone far far away in the western province of Singapore.

2. a morning beep, fr a sweetheart who dawned an awfully sweet surprise on me last night. *muacks*

3. mummy's porridge in the afternoon. plain porridge never taste tis good. And it has been awhile since i last yearned for it.

4. the glittery green (my first in 22 years. a pity he's not here to share tis with me.)

2006-12-16T11:37:00.000+08:00

I'm a little shy to say this...

BUT...

Haha, yours truly me actually plonked myself onto my parents' bed last night!!! And I slept with them!! All 3 of us together! Hahaha. Yes. You didn't hear it wrong. Hahaha. It's all because of a darn CROCKCROACH (about a fifty cent coin in size) which appeared on my table out of no where in the middle of the night!!! And poor me was totally freaked out!!!! What's worse was me not being able to find the stupid Mortein albeit ransacking the entire house! (YES, smart me actually bothered to search for it when I know that the cockcroach will 99% be OUT of sight even if I managed to return with the mortein!)

GOSH. haha. But quite a cosy sleep. Hehe.

2006-12-15T01:07:00.000+08:00

Dung.

I had left my laptop on for the entire day and night for the transfer, & to think the gawd damn transfer failed! Brilliant. Grrr. Chill girl, chill.

Tonight marks another one of those impromptu nights well-spent.
Though dark clouds shockingly rose fr nowhere, the chat was amazingly intriguing w uncle philosophy. Headed for Bugis, e place I used to frequent quite often during my Secondary & JC days. And dinner was "you3 ji4 duck rice" which I absolutely lurrve. But instd of the usual 4-5 sauces of chilli, I just had 2 tis time round. Hee. Fr duck rice stall, to Stela @ Brekos cafe. Chill end. :)

The night somehow got longer as the week zoomed by.
...I sure hope the alarm works tml.

~a couple of targeted buys I spied tonight. shall whack them next month~

2006-12-12T23:46:00.000+08:00

Awfully sorry that I didn't sense sth was wrong. In fact, thinking back, there actually were signs fr you that I did thought abt, but didn't think deep into. Work has been preoccupying the limited-spaced mind of mine... But nevertheless, I'm glad things are better. I realised that it actually isn't ez to draw a distinct line and not think abt work at all after working hours. Darn. It sucks. But I will work that out k. WIP. ;)

Been awhile since I last posted...whoops. You did miss me didn't you?!! You sure you didn't? I'm sure you did since you're here NOW??? Haha. For YOU, I shall post some pics at the end of this post k? *chuckles*

Today was thankfully a breeze...started with a visit to TKPS, and ended with an interestingly long and intellectually-challenged, yet relaxed, chat at Food Republic. I forgot the name of the drink, but yes, thurs it shall be. ;) Did I ever mentioned that I totally adore the Beef Hor Fun at Hong Kong Street Family restaurant just outside my house? Had that with Ping on Mon, and it was awesome. How I envy her carefree student life. I want mine back! Haa. Dream...okie. I shall dream tonight.

To the dear one whom have FINISHED her final presentation 4 hours ago! To the one whom will be back to the Northhhh in a day! To the strong one far away, but yet close to heart. CHEERS to the last day of school!!! Time to celebrate & let your hair down!!! I wonder what you're doing now...Eating your heart out? Shd be ya??!! Hahaha! And ohmigosh! The msg containing ur addy just miraculously disappeared!!!!! What happened to my hp today. Strange.

Haa, a couple of "you"s in this post. But I'm sure you will know which is referring to who yes? Haa, yes YOU. Anyway, to the two ladies whom I have declared my target to sleep b4 11 on weekdays...I've failed. failed yesterday. failed today. :x Totally un-related whatsoever, but I miss hearing the "Beautiful Love" ringing early in the morning. 26th & 27th! :) Offs.

~ itch = recovery sign = good. but...it's so unbearable!!! ~

Snapshots of the Weeekend:

A night of f-u-n, totally un-planned for. impromptu's the key! ;)

Cousins @ Liang Court in celebration of my Ah-Ma's bday~

~
Jim, Michelle & Me @ SPOM! ;)

Looking forward to the dinner tml! *yay*
(I'm so missing you too. *winks*)

2006-12-05T00:34:00.000+08:00

HOHOHO~*
Merry X'mas!!!!! ;))

Can Uncle Santa grant me a wish?

Just one will do! *winks*

Among all the many festive seasons, X'mas is my favourite-st! It's nothing religion-related, neither is it of any special relevance. To me, X'mas just simply connotes "happiness" and "togetherness".

It's the finale season of the year, where family & friends huddle together, in a cosy little area...with the accompaniment of a huge turkey (i usually give tis a skip)logcakes, honey hams, champagnes (and a rojak of food) and of cos...the exchange of gifts!!! It has become a tradition for most...to give presents to the one whom you deem dear to you. Presents doesn't necessarily translate to a hole in your pocket ya? haha. It's more of the thought isn't it? But it's brain-wrecking to think of what to buy/make.

I think it's remarkably sweet to do something together with the people you love, like...go grocery shopping together (so fun!)...and cook for each other? buy and fix a jigsaw together? Do things you never would do on normal occasions...i.e. break the law? wahaha! not steal, nor kill, nor hurt anyone. Haa, I'm nt gonna define it...leaving it totally open to your own imagination. Just sth impactful in short!

Thinking abt it, more often than not, it's not the end-process but more of the in-between that really stays within ur heart? Haa, still remember fixing a jigsaw with the "guy-version" of me when we were young...we chiong-ed it till the wee hours of the night. Actually more of me doing, with him sleeping beside me. Ha. But shall not deny him of the credit lah. Love fixing jigsaws...Hmm, I wonder when the nxt chance to fix one will be. Elusive memories. ;) I wonder how my pig brother will celebrate his X'mas tis year end...how i wish i can go to the states to celebrate with ya! haaa. in the ski resort like the other time!! Nm, give me a few more months! ;)

Since a couple of you have started posting up ur wishlist (actually just 2), Haha, I shall be the 3rd and pen mine down for the ease of my dear Mkt-Santa. Let's see...

1. A FAT Pillow!
The kind to lie your head on when you sleep at night. Not the sort to hug while you watch tv hor. haha! I dunno if it's within budget...but if it is. i would love one as mine's getting a lil' flat. HEY. A bolster would do a gr8 job too. haha.

2. Luminous paper starry stickers.
Haha, I dunno if you can still find them at the stores in Singapore. I tried to find, but sadly in vain. I used to have them pasted all over the ceiling and walls of my room...reaaally pretty. It's of negligible sight in the day, but when I switch off the lights...omigosh. I feel as though I'm up in the galaxy. For those who know me long enough...or close enough. wahaha. you shd have seen my room b4 year-end of 2001, or heard me mention this b4 ya? ;) I would kiss the one whom find me those stickers!!!

3. Adding a lil' personal touch would be cool. Haha. How abt saving your $$ and not spend a cent??? I don't mind!! IF, you sing me a song!!! Erm, a song that I like that is. Haha. Negotiable lah...if you choose this. ;P (Esp, if it's FMQ. wahaha. but *DEH* she's not my Santa. =( But FMQ. i would b over the moon if you sing "mud kei" for me! lols. or any canto songs of Sammi.) Hee.

4. Ah! How abt a pretty Tissue-box cover for my "Winning-Blue"? Haha, that would be lovely. Not too kiddy a design ya?? Haha!

5. A portable, mini fan? Haha. I happen to chance on one in Marks & Spencer the other day...& it's within budget. Wahaha. I would think that it will come in pretty handy...with Singapore's horrendous weather. Haha. I wouldn't buy it on my own...cos I think money can be better spent elsewhere. BUT, if it's a gift. wahaha! that's a different thing all together. lols.

6. Oh yes, suddenly tot of the Pig Torchlight I saw in Citylink. Elv...u remember? Wahaha. I won't mind tt tooo. so cute. :P But i forgot how much tt costs. Hmm. which store? It's one of the first few stores on the left when you exit Marina Sq..heading back to the Mrt station.

7. Haha, I guess it shd be fairly easy for my dear Mkt-Santa aldy ya?

Okie, now for the Don't buys. Wahaha.
- Don't buy a wallet pls. haaa. Because I've just received 2 pretty ones recently! And I will be using them for a long long while I feel.

- Don't .... haha. Actually no more don'ts. Hehe. If time/$$ doesn't permit...make me a card lah! haha. solely self-made hor. ;) Serious. I'll treasure tt more than those bought actually. =P

Okay...a long post tonight ya. *concussing-mode*
Just caught "Happy Feet" with Fmq, Elv, Sw & 33 earlier this evening at Vivo. I think other than Elv, it's the first time watching in the Vivo cineplex for all of us. Not bad! Comfy seats. Erm..but i don't like the sausage of my hotdog. Haa.

The film??? Not bad. Cute...! I liked the way he tap-danced along with the music...but other than that, it's quite normal and predictable...Nth spectacular I feel. Just simply very cute. Haa.

To my 15-yr old fren who's feeling down...hope you felt better after the playgrd chat. Life's more of just "them"... Cheer up k? U aren't what you deem urself to be...trust me. ;)

& to a particular Miss Tan whom's away in Cheena-land...haaa. Hope u found ur roots! hee. Quick come baccckkkkkkkkkk ok? (:

***SO Looking 4ward to...THE discussed trip!!!!!!!!!!!

Greetings fr Afar!

2006-12-03T16:53:00.000+08:00

First, I saw this sweet lil' postcard lying on the table when I walked into my room last ~~thursday~~ friday evening...then...I see a stack of Polo.R tees (my very first p.r item!! ;P) lying mysteriously on the bed.

Realised they were greetings fr afar!

2006-12-01T23:51:00.000+08:00

Oversensitive or not,
I think it's gd afterall from a larger pic perspective. :)
So, I shd look at it from a happy angle.

Wanted to post up the accumulated pictures! i.e. bkk trip! dinner(s)!
But but but, haa. realised i left them in my lappie, with darlin Elv.
Poor girl's still stuck in Blk4, but thank god she's off drip.
haha, muchhhh happier with food definitely!

P.s Elv, I hope you win the bet! *winks* I'll pray for u tonight! ok?

Just to mention,
Yesterday was THE day.
& Yay, I made it through!
Special thks to the one who said a lil' prayer for me (I'm touched you actually rem.!), for the beeps & thoughts which came by when I nearly froze in the freaking "fridge".& of cos, lucky chain for being lucky! :)

I'm fighting against time by the way.
(Till no batt. do us part)
And it's currently low. lols.
I shall go offline, & watch tv!!!!
Thinking abt it, it has been quite some time since i last gave the tv 100% of my attention. haha. woooooooo. -ciao!-

**x'mas month's finally here!! =)) ***

2006-11-30T23:31:00.000+08:00

YES!

Told a particular dearie in blue that I'll b blogging tonight,
and very well, I shall! :)

WHY?

Because...I feel good tonight. *winks*

Apart from the few whom I've been talking to,
I kinda feel a lil' detached from the world all of a sudden.
Haha, "world" meaning the "cyberspace".
If you realize, yours truly hasn't been online v. much these few days.
But I do try to get online whenever I can!

Have been swamped with work ever since I gt back from BKK last Mon. & it actually took me a couple of days to recuperate from the trip. I was surprisingly super duper drained!!! Really!! & I deem it to be called the "Post-holiday Syndrome"!

One thing learnt:
Always take an additional day off when you go for a holiday. i.e. If you go away for 4 days, take 5 days of leave! haha, a day will always be needed to recuperate.

To my 3 BKK darlings...
namely Elvina Wee, Daniel Ng & Adeline Tan!
(Haha, calling Ade Adeline seems odd. lols.)
Don't you think it's really amazing how well we gelled together in BKK?!
Not that we din't before that...but. hahaha. I just felt that it was a perfect trip! so so enjoyable!! Thanks for making this trip such a spectacular one!!! ;)

***You won't be able to see this NOW. But, PLEASE recover fast!! then we'll go for a makan spreeee OK?? I treat! *Big Hugs*

**CLICK ONCE FOR MAGNIFYING EFFECT**

Fascinating isn't it?!!!
Can you see my pimple?? HAHA.
Si, I just checked Picturetrails out! Cool~*

2006-11-09T00:49:00.000+08:00

HAPPY Things WORTH Mentioning!!!

1. BKK trip in like...9 days?!!!!!!!!

Wooo!! so so looking forward to it!

It's gonna be my 1st time to BKK. Actually, strictly speaking, it shd be my 2nd...but since I have no recollection whatsoever (My dad once told me that I have been to BKK once when I was a kid. Upon hearing, I was taken aback as it somehow was not instilled in my memory bank. I guess it's normal for kids under a certain age to not rem. stuff. IS IT? haha. That's how I feel. & kids being their usual them, only remember specific incidents. When or where it happened...ask me not. wahaha. Or perhaps, I'm a weird kid.), I deem it to be my 1st.

& coincidentally, the 3 lovely comrades that I'll be travelling with...have also NOT been to BKK b4. Haha, so...this can be considered THE virgin trip to BKK for all of us! & It'll be a special one. Yeah? *winkz* NO FEAR. With the brilliant creation of "FMq's Complete Idiot's Guide to BKK", I'm sure we'll get through this in a snap of our fingers! What a sweet darling she is ain't she? I'm sure she'll not bear to churn out too long a laundry list for us to lug back in return ya?? Hahaha!

Planning in process!! wooo. what to do. what to buy. where to go. when to avoid the streets. how much to bring. the must-gos. the must-eats. the must-buys. the shds. the shdnts. wahaha. Oh my, purely thinking is aldy enough to make me all so excited! Comrades, let's discuss them in detail offline on Sun ya??? *yays*

2. Dinner @ Sakae with my old BAND girls!!

Though only 3 outta 7 of us turned up, the joy wasn't at all affected by the less-than-expected turn-out. Feeling's still pretty much like the old tk days. It's as if we had gone back in time. Haha. Still remember those days silly old days where Pris used to be the "nanny" of us 3. Our very first shopping outing for court shoes & to think we actually dragged our seniors out as well. Our first time greeting you girls as Ma'ams when you turned Sec 3. And of cos, our turn being greeted as Ma'ams. First sectionals. First fiery combine session. First scolding session. First band camp. So many firsts. So many memories. So Precious. Endless reminiscences of the old days in dunman rd. & oh yes, Fried Tofu still tastes soo good. my all time favourite in sakae! woo.

Me & Jy in Wheelock.

That's how i look. After a total of 3 visits to e hair salon.

A flatter hair, portraying a FATTER me.

After 1st visit: Good!

After 2nd visit: Disastrous. Horrendous. Ultimate. (NO Joke)

After 3rd visit: 100X better than previous. But not comparable to 1st.

REGRETs.

A Lesson Learnt - The HARD & PAINFUL way.

but alas, at least i'm not all bald to speak of.

frankly, i din't know the 2nd trip would have sucha huge impact.

i must have lost my mind to make that trip. wahaha.

fortunately, not many ppl saw.

*phew* a day home luckily.

not planned. but thank god. ;)

2006-11-04T14:11:00.000+08:00

who doesn't go through difficult times in life?
comparatively, mine ain't anything. really.
i'm happy actually! happy because i'm blessed.
i do am aware, and i'm very very thankful for tt. ;)
to all my loved ones:

.TGIFT.

2006-10-12T23:22:00.000+08:00

*hurray* TGIFT! :)

my 6th friday to come. somehow, i always seem to b filled with more zest on fri. i wonder why. *wahaha* tdy, time passed by exceptionally fast...like it's on a bullet train. & that always happen when calls & emails start to come my way. ironically, i seem to like it more tis way! kept in the war...busy fighting my way through - with milo, tea, marks & spencers dark choc dijestive biscuits (which brings back memories of Europe! *winks*), and cakes which come by once in awhile.

"welcome to the world of administrative excellence!" *dingding* sad fact. but true... in my shoes that is. i dunno about you...but it's quite true for me. it takes up quite a big portion doesn't it? other than the interminable meetings...it's more of the warrior, holding her phone on 1 hand, and her laptop on e other - 2 must-haves for us.

what do we do? more of policy making. we churn out reports, proposals, minutes...obtain statistics through all possible channels (online, on prints, other divisions/ agencies etc.), call to "cho cho" (tis is a term widely used in my division. putting it simply, it means "rush") people for upgrades, create powerpoints, and non-stop email-ings. in times of manpower shortages, we do others too. (e.g. ushering "big fellows" to their meeting rooms) so can say, it's BKL. (bao ka liao. haa.)

adding on, the thing is, wat we do, we don't see e actualized results till many years down the road? but well, hopefully my water safety will kick-off fast, so i can go down to the ground to execute it. *looking 4ward*. so far, i'm still on 4th gear...adjusting my pace to e right speed. am starting to like a couple of them. (:

just got notified today that a couple of us will be going to another agency for a 1-2 weeks attachment - some sort of an orientation to get to now our stat. board better. *hope it'll b gd* we will stagger our attachments though, so our division won't b warrior-less. lols.

i tink i've mentioned to a few of u about tis. but 4 the others whom i've nt mentioned...here goes. we have tis monthly healthy-lifestyle outing (you can also call it a "monthly division bonding session") where we normally go out to keep fit...ha. healthy lifestyle mah. i heard they have played tennis, basketball and some others on previous sessions. but tis time, guess what? it's ktv & pool. goodness. wahahaa. super healthy right? i think so too! i wonder how it'll b like. wonder how they will sound like. haha. sekali all pros. whee! tis is sth similar to what our dear pfmq's having too at her work station. btw, she's dragon-boating end of tis month! *whistles* pfmq's lifestyle is happening wor!...with more sunny days. & more starry nights. haha.

okay. enough of my ramblings on work-related stuff. ;P

~ though i may not have a religion to speak of, i will pray for you my dear fren. i'll pray to the gods who can hear me...i'll pray for your ah-gong's op. tml. everything will be just fine. it will be. okay? *big hugs* ~

^ and to you (you were family to me, and you still are.) whose ah-gong jus passed away. be strong ya? i know it's hard on you especially since you just returned fr your job trip. missed ya for the 1 month you were away. *big big big hugs* what to do, this is life. i guess we all have to learn to accept this harsh reality sometime in our lives. ^

1 of my colleagues mentioned that he had went through 4 main facets of life...(fren got married, fren got baby, fren got divorced, and fren died) and he's only 30 tis year. sad to hear ya? sigh. such things r really beyond our control... & i guess the best we can do, is to live life like there's no tomorrow! ponder awhile b4 you start shouting back at ur mama. ponder awhile b4 you start saying unretrievable stuffs you don't really mean. ponder awhile, space out if need be, and identify the selected few you hope can b by your side if it's dooms day tml. treasure them. & cherish them. make them smile. you don't have to specially do sth for them. just remember this...it's 100% true for those who really love you - when you are happy, they are happy.

(tis is an add-on fr the next morning...)
I did not sleep well last night. I felt bad. I felt very bad. felt bad to the one who carried me 9 months in her womb. i don't think she'll see this...but it's just sth cooped within me tt i jus wanna type it out tis morn. wrote it down last night. now i'm typing. details aside. i shall give her a big hug ltr b4 i go to work. ;) GOOD DAY! "It'll be a GR8 DAY!" i always tell myself tt on my way to work. tink happy thoughts, & u'll b happy...if not - happier.

World Trade Center

2006-10-10T23:05:00.000+08:00

A movie widely talked about.
A movie on my to-watch list.
A movie which costs me Ten bucks.

Rating?
Not up to mark. Just made it through the passing mark I felt.
No tears. But there was laughter on and off amidst the heart-wrenching scenes. The guy was funny. ha. ain't ez to be funny in this kinda show. Story of two...wasn't enough. Sensitive it has to be. I'm still disappointed on the whole.

A line which caught my attn in the show, "Pain is good. Pain is your friend. If you feel pain, it means you are alive". I remember I scalded my right foot badly when I was in year 1. And I felt like my foot was practically on fire. 1 word to describe - Pain. Then my fren told me this statement too on the way to NUH.

Company?
as usual, it tops it all. ;)

Ten bucks. But it was all for a good cause.
Some NUS hall charity screening to raise money for a cambodia expedition.

Irresistably Adorable

2006-10-09T22:22:00.000+08:00

PRETTY GOLDYS!!

"Come Tiger, say Hiiiii~"
aww... he's jus 5 months old. shoo cute right?

& here's Gorgeous Vodka! Guess how old she is??
...4 yrs old! Pretty!! Her fur's amazingly smooth too.
I lurve her furrr!!!

"Let's shake hand & be frens!!" haaa.
dear Tiger came along looking jealous!
aww...i love u both as much!
(wahhaa. yahh...i CAN read their minds)

Elv, you'll love them!! They're soo tame and lovable! No barks. No bites. No angry stares. hahaha. They just lick ya with loads of love! (Erm...but Vodka's a lil' strange towards Dan. She especially likes to sneeze at him!! I wonder why!! lols) whee! ya lah, they do come near you...but ain't hyper type. Very gentle. Very docile. aww... I would love to bring them home!!!! =(

Met these lovely pups during our "painful" wakeboard session yesterday @ Punggol Marina. The usual suspects who went - Dan, Siwei & yours truly! Calling 4 ALL marketeers!! Come join us!! Healthy Lifestyle!~* Haa. Okay. Notice I stated "painful" wakeboard session?

It's because I had my HARDEST FALL yesterday...outta all 3 times. This time, I flew outta my board, and came crashing down onto the sea. *GONG* Concussion? Yes. for awhile. Pain. Dan can understand my pain. Never had my feet left the board when I wakeboard. This was the first time. Arr. cause i kept trying to move in and out of the waves. Wanted to do it at least once for both sides...but alas. failed. I tried to challenge my limits. But I succumbed to those red palms of mine. It must be due to the haze - ha, yes... attribute everything to the horrid haze.

But i had FUN! No regrets whatsoever. =)) In fact, I wanted MORE. wahaha. We are gonna try to schedule a wakeboard session every month! - After Payday! Though it was just the 3 of us yesterday, company was already awesome I felt. It's the quality rather than quantity that matters most - & that's very true.

Okay. since I'm already blogging. Let's backtrack a lil' & yada about Friday! Friday was Mooncake Festival - the 15th day of the 8th Month on the Chinese Calender. & supposedly on that fateful night, the moon should b roundest and brightest. But guess what? After 9+pm, the moon couldn't be seen at all!! *gasps* Yaa. it was covered by the haze. Though that may b considered the only "spoiler" of the night, my night was not even near being spoilt!

On my drive back to NTU, I was filled with past memories. The route. The route which I used to take every now and then. The route all the way to ulu boonlay. I enjoyed every moment of my drive. Haa, and I KTV-ed all the way as usual. lols. (that happens when I'm alone)

When I exited pioneer rd, and saw the entrance to NTU...I felt an overwhelming sense of happiness. Really. & it grew as I continued to drive in!! To my surprise, I was really really happy to be back in ulu town. And thanks to the stupid haze. It created this fantasy effect, as though I was in a dream. In a dream, back in school, eating lajiaofan & mooncakes...drinking ah-fang's ice lemon tea (which i sooo missed)...playing sparklers & lanterns..chatting happily with my bunch of marketeers. Absolutely splendid!! Wooo! Angel came on to webcam with us too!! If only Elv n gang were still ard.

It was real. But felt so much like a dream. I wonder when we'll have another chance to return to old NTu together. I'm sure we will. But I wonder when. Soo, I especially cherished e times we had on Fri nite. Though things are no longer the same, (i.e. buildings are no longer where they used to be, us going back with a different status, People came & left. Meanings no longer there.), I still feel alot for that place. Big Thanks to Jingsi for letting us stayover at her sis's hall! haaa, and thanks dearie for letting me sleep till the sun set. *muackz* Hope we din't mess up the plc too much. lols.

........................................................................................................

Oh yes. Mood's a little changed when I tink about tis. I was so pissed on my way back fr work earlier. As usual, I was travelling along PIE back to Changi. I was on the 2nd lane, & I realized this Stupid Yellow-Blue Van tail-gating me. Woah. He was darn close I tell you. Really reeaaally close. I couldn't move any faster, because that's the max. I could go. And I din't want to go too near to the car in front. I had to keep a minimum distance at least. And to my right and left, there aren't any space for me to change lane. So, I was ultra pissed and helpless. I was literally cursing that stupid van in my car. Luckily nth happened, and i managed to change lane in the end. I hate tail-gaters! & furthermore, if you wanna travel soo fast, you jolly well move to the 1st lane! & it's not as if there was much spc btw me n the vehicle in front of me to begin with. I was sooooo angry, that I registered his carplate in my mind. GX933Z. GRRrrr.

Okay. Cooool down. Not worth letting this ass spoil my nite. Actually I'm no longer pissed, haaa. I cool down fast that's why. No matter how major the thing is, and how angry I get, I cool down real fast. But don't take this as a chance to bully me ah. or make me angry. hahhaa. you neverrrrr know what may happen. lols.

A looong post tonight. Pics shall be posted soon!~*

2006-10-03T00:40:00.000+08:00

Earliest ever X'mas Present. So looking forward. ;)
Thanks for loving me so much. For always putting me b4 you.
Though I always make your blood boil. =P Love ya!~*
........................................................................................................

I just finished watching the 2nd Episode of WONDERFUL LIFE. 1 Episode a night...that's my plan. Haa, very disciplined hor? very proud of myself too. If it was in the past, I'll sure chiong it within a few nights.

but now, impossible. firstly, my eyes would be half-closed by the end of 1 episode. 2ndly, i'll be so zombish the next day at work. And thereafter, i'll be fried alive, and you most prob. won't see me @ Toa Payoh Lor1 aldy. Lols.

Anyway, the main lead's really too white!! Oh man, someone shine some light on him! But he was really quite charming yesterday when he was up flying the plane. Pilots. Whee. Cute lah. But not mua type =P.

........................................................................................................

Today, I went thru the longest meeting ever since I started work. The bloody meeting lasted a near 4 hours lo!!! wahh. no joke. Once every month. Puke bloood. First time seeing him fr such close proximity. Not hunkish, but attractive...intellectually, and looks-wise. lols. No wonder he's our poster boy.
........................................................................................................

I said i'll blog abt you tonight, but i tink i'll be nice n let ya off tonight k? Shall attempt to accumulate more good karma. so that i'll be more blessed. hopefully. hahaa. & now you have an eg. of how G you are. lols. ;)

........................................................................................................

Hazy Singapore. True enough, the haze was caused by land and forest fires in Sumatra. It's real bad...& news today quoted that PSI is at its highest level this year - 73. Seems like it's not gonna get better till awhile later. In need of FresHHhHHH air.

So Fast. Time Really ZOOMS by.

2006-10-01T23:53:00.000+08:00

-= WONDERFUL LIFE =-

Jus caught the 1st episode of tis new korean drama which my cousin passed me. & I found it to be not bad!! haaa, cute & funny! with pretty actors - but the guy's a little too boyish & white i felt. haa. basically, the 1st espisode's just cute & funny. lols. more to be added after i watch a few more episodes k? =)) but for now, i have tis feeling tt it will be another 1 of those gd shows! it has gt tis pulling factor to make me wanna watch more. but sadly, not tonight...cos i've gotta put myself in bed to counter tml's battle! chiong ah! =P

Oh yes, did i mention that the first part of tis show's filmed in e ctry closest to our hearts? haa, yeah, on our very own Singapore Island! some touristy places shown..but nth spectacular. because it's in Singapore?! haha. someone bring me outta Singapore...okie. save save save. haa. I've gt a to-go list of countries churned out, & i'm so gonna step foot on them one day! Africa has long been listed, but after tt afternoon, i'm even more set to go see the breath-taking sights personally! (:

........................................................................................................

The wakeboarding worldcup @ bedok reservoir earlier in the day was awesome!! wooo~* hunks & babes with great bods...& i especially find guys attractive when they wakeboard or do water sports. so stylish, filled with character!! lols. i arrived at abt 245pm, just in time for the finals. no Singaporeans though (expected), top few are all Americans. Specatular stunts! & the music was keeping us in the mood all the time. The only spoiler of the day, was the humidity!! arrr. if only someone can remove the humidity element here. btw, is there a forest fire ongoing?? the haze was quite bad at bedok reservoir!

........................................................................................................

1st October...it's Children's Day! Haa, Happy Children's Day my dearrrs!!~* Always young...no matter what age. yaaa?? Miss those days when we still have holidays on this day...!! How nice to be a kid all over again. the carefree life kids lead...i miss. wahhaa. okay lah, life's nt too bad as an adult too.

........................................................................................................

Had a good talk with Daddy dearest tt night. Though ignorant is bliss, it's good to be mentally prepared as well. The higher the hopes harboured, the higher the disappointment. So it's good to be prepped for it, so at least disappointments won't come crashing too hard then. Alas, just a month...maybe i'm thinking too much. As what lucky angel always say, Come What May! haa. I'm quoting you my dear. Miss you! I strive to start everyday anew with an open mind.

........................................................................................................

Oh yes, I wonder why, but a particular Miss Wee's tagboard just refuse to accept my tag. Hahaa, shows attitude just like her owner! 3 days!! have been trying since Friday nite, but to no avail. grr. Let me get it off my chest, & just leave my tag here alrighty? I bu gan xin...haha, die die wanna tag. hahaa...so here's to you,

"awwww...jus like the lyrics - 世上只有妈妈好，有妈的孩子像个宝...~* 幸福的黄小姐！;)"

........................................................................................................

I think i woke up on the wrong side of my bed today. Had a bad backache for the entire day. =( I had a dream! But i can't remember what it was about. Some dreams, I remember them vividly. But some others, I just can't recall at all. Ever wondered why we have dreams when we sleep?

I once heard fr someone that we have dreams every night, just that we don't remember that we had one. Is it true? Maybe. But on my part, I don't think so leh. haha. because when I have a dream, I will know I had one. But whether or not I remember is another thing all together.

Dreams..I've had a wide spread. Stressful ones b4 major events i.e. syf band competitions in sec sch days, Ultra scary ones which wakes me up in tears (that was ultimate. 1 dream. i woke, and tears jus fell...uncontrollably), of cos not forgetting the many sweet & happy ones which i so wanna go back to sleep to continue the dream. hehe. I hope I'll have a sweet one tonight! =)

Good night!!

When I first saw the envelope, I thought it's some road fine or sth.

Lols. Yes I was kidding.
btw, they gt my addy wrong! the officer shd get his eye sight checked.
& Yes, these words are CAMO-ed on purpose. haha.

" You Can Do it!

If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you're right.
If you like to win, but you think you can't,
It is almost certain you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you've lost.
For out of the world we find,
Success begins with a person's will.
It's all in the state of mind.

If you think you are outclassed, you are.
You've got to think high to rise.
You've got to be sure of yourself
Before you can ever win a prize.

Life's battles don't always go to
the stronger or faster man,
but sooner or later the man who wins
is the man who thinks he CAN! "

A motivational/inspirational quote which I've been exposed to for the past 3 weeks. I see it at least once everyday from Monday to Friday. Guess where? The place everyone goes to relieve themselves at least once a day. Actually, should think it's at least twice a day. That's more healthy. haha. Yes, the toilet. A very important plc in my office.

There's this particular cubicle (it has become my favourite cubicle. haaa, i would choose to enter that cubicle outta the other 2 if I have a choice. But if it's occupied, I won't specially wait to enter la.), which has this quote pasted at the back of the cubicle door. So when you enter that cubicle, close the door...you will be able to see it.

It's very meaningful don't you think? This quote brings about additional meaning to me as the exact same quote was given to me by my form teacher during sec school days. She's called Mrs Ngin. A very nice lady, very patient with us, very sincere and warm. =)

It can be applied to all facets of your life, whether you're a care-free student busy skipping lectures, a relaxed jobseeker, a packed-to-your-toe worker in need of sleep, a happy and mature student furthering her/his studies overseas, a troubled young fellow going through a quarter/mid-life crisis, a satisfied housekeeper making sure her family gets the best treatment when they get home, a retiree planning the next phase of her/his life...& the list goes on. Whatever it is, don't don't don't ever give up on yourself k. YOU rule your life. =)

Talking about my office. Everyone seems to be having motivational quotes around them. In front of them. Some examples that I remember..."Don't Quit!", "It's not the falling that matters, but the ability to stand up after the fall", "Persistence!"...haaa. erm. yaaa. that's a handful out of the many. I asked one of them b4, "I noticed you guys have lotsa motivational quotes". Haa, she was like..."yaa. without them, how to survive??" wah. sounds like their jobs aren't as breezy as it may look. The worst thing is getting things done. Small thing. Gotta seek approval...go up...then come down..then go up again. Now you know why things take a damn long time to execute.

My divison's relatively small, a total of 10 of us. So quite cosy. I like. haha. Ladies to Monsters ratio. Wah. It's actually 5:5. Haa. People are generally very nice, very optimistic. Not all, but most. They tend to laugh everything off, scoldings, irritations, any setbacks...scream it to us (divison-mates), and we all laugh together.

Stressful? Not yet. I'm not feeling the stress literally as yet, but works piling up. Starting with 1 project, to the current 3. But coping well =) God bless the presentation on Tuesday. *ahh* I'm kind of not used to the protocols around, the careful gestures which you have got to take note of. Who you talk to, what you say. My fren (a fellow rookie) was so shocked when I rejected my boss a lift. Wahahhaa. He was like, "wahh, you damn stylo. Impressed." No lah, if I could let him hitch, of course I would. I had my reasons. And I believe my boss understands. Ermm, mayb he just say so only. But alas, just do my job well! That's most impt. Who cares about the politics man. I just say what I feel. Haa, so one of these days, I may just get myself into deep shit. lols. God Bless mua. But I will take note.

Monday...I received a beep from a darling in Paris. I was like...OMGOMGOMG. lols. I was so exited when I actually saw her name appearing on my hp. Happy to see the words she sent. & Extremely elated to actually see & hear her on Friday! Great to know that you're safe and sound and settling down, BUT...better water parade every morning k? =( Still coughing quite badly. *sayangZ* I tried to stay awake. But failed. Think it's going to be hard to catch ya online...as my energy has been depleting at a fast pace lately. Haa, but I'll carry on trying k! My heart's with you. Hehe. AJA AJA!!

Oh & Tuesday...my parents returned! back from their China trip. It was awesome lo. Beautiful pictures taken!! So envious..... =( Nm, I shall save...looking forward to the 10-12th this month. woo. On the very same day, a very very thoughtful pal of mine made a trip to my place, & passed me a bag of stuffs...inside was 2 big packs of Milo sachets, 2 tins of Foxy sweets and a box of lemon stepsils. All were my Favourite. haa. i love lemon stepsils. & I eat them at all occasions, not only when I have a sore throat. My record's finishing the entire box in a day. haha. steady right? BUT, I din't have diarrhoea leh. My stomach's too powerful must be. Why Milo? Because I'm a milo-lover. But have been drinking lots of coffee lately at work (only have coffee machine that's why)...& pal was worried about my health from drinking too much coffee, so that's how Milo came about. Thanks my dear!! (:

& Wed...My baby's back!! My blue baby! =)) Missed it. Missed it so much. And god bless the posters are within. If not, a particular Miss P will kill me. Haa. But it's safe and sound, in shape. I will keep it in good condition & pass it to you soon k~ Finishing off with dinner @ Sakae!! - A craving of mine since the week before!

Fri...I met up 2 of my JC darlings. Ping & Eileen. Wahhaa. Had a fantabulous time as usual. We yekked so much, sang so much! (btw, I sang miwa's song leh! wahaha. If I remember it right...I've never sang it before in Ktv! I mean, solo sang it lah. lols. SEE, see how impt you are miwachan. haha.) Company was beyond description.

& Sat?? I woke up early to accompany my Mama for some retail therapy...which I kind of need as well? wahahhaa. She got what she wanted. So happy for her. But heartache for my dad's wallet. HAHA. But hubby pamper wife, that's the way what. hahaa. Followed by meetings with Cons & Wsc Gang separately. Time no enough. How I wish I will never feel tired. Because that night, I felt like I was dying. lol. Very shagged. Perhaps due to the lack of sleep throughout the weekdays.

& finally...the ultimate. Haha. Todayyyy!! Had tennis whacking session with the usual few~ But Dan, Ade & Andy couldn't make it as our dear Daniel has outfield...and Ade has already scheduled appt. with her parents. Andy? I dunno leh, is it soccer? haha. oops. So..who turned up? Namely..Elv, Jingsi, Guoxing & yours truly Mua! Liqi was unwell..so couldn't turn up =(. But nevertheless, we had alotta fun tdy!!! And I'm red lo! My face's red. We played from about...10.15am to 12.30pm...under the hot sun! wahhaa. thank god for the slight shelter, and cooling breeeeeeze. (thanks to bedok reservoir which is just beside). Din't know Elv used to learn mini-tennis in the past, and boy is she not bad! Hahaa, she's always all ready in position. which is good!! Haa. Tennis, followed by a little squash! & then...it's Food time!! It was awesome...the company...the exercise...the sweating. I realize it has been a long time since I've last sweat it out. And the feeling's great! More sessions to come!!~*

p.s. If you stare hard enough at your television set tonight at 8pm > Ch5, haha. You may see our dear Miss Wee on TV!! Woooo.

2006-09-20T00:26:00.000+08:00

Ah, that horrid feeling's still haunting me! =(
I felt it again earlier on the roads,
despite obediently making the ruley intermittent stops.
Heart thumps faster than usual. usual meaning b4 the 7th.
Hope to get back to normal thumping soon.

Bye Angel Chan...

2006-09-17T23:13:00.000+08:00

MIWACHAN!!!!!!~*
I dunno why, but I just love shouting out for this ANGEL of mine.
2 wonderful years in Uni have zapped by, & I really enjoyed every every moment spent with her. Today, she has left for Paris to fulfil her dream, & I wish the best for her in every way possible. She has been sucha sweet darling, sooo I'm sure she'll get all the well-deserved blessings from her accumulated good karma!

I've just checked it online, & our dear Angel's gonna take 16h25mins to reach Paris...including a stop-over @ BKK. Now's 12.42 already...so I reckon you should be on your 2nd flight to Paris ya???? Barely few hours have passed, & I'm so missing you already...!!

Lucky Angel, COME BACK SOON okay??
then we'll go chiong the ktvs, movies, shops & foood once again!!!!
The places which we were supposed to visit, but din't as time din't permit - We'll chiong it all at one shot when you're back!! =))

Actually, all's to be said, has been said. All's to be done, has been done. So, I won't say much here k. haha. Leaving it to just between the 2 of us. But adding to that, I just hope you'll be a happy gal there!! Continue spreading happiness to those around you my dear! & take good care of yourself...+ don't fall ill again k~ Try not to? Drink more water!

Lastly, just wanna say...

AJA AJA FIGHTING my dear!!! *winks*

Holding on tight...

2006-09-13T00:56:00.000+08:00

Feeling a little pensive tonight.
Perhaps it's because they're not around to yada at me. haha.
It's the latest I've stayed up ever since the 4th...but heck. Lesser sleep in return for more time with the 3 of You. Why not? =) I've been thinking quite abit after our conversation, and I will treasure my dear ones more from now on. Not that I haven't been treasuring them...but just that I wanna stretch out and do more. It's kinda easy to befriend someone new, but it's the maintaining of the bond that's tough. And that takes alot of effort & sacrifices from both sides.

Guess what? At this point in time. MSN has to fail me!!!!! Arrrrrrr. I hate MSN. I've been kicked outta MSN and I can't seem to sign back in! Tried exiting the entire program. But it doesn't work. Wanted to try restarting lappie. But I'm currently copying sth. So cannot restart. =(

I wish that we'll be as per current or even closer 10 years from now. Even 20, 30...all the way up to 50 years from now! Though we've all moved on to the next phase of our lives, I have faith that our frenship will last a lifetime. I will hang on. hang on tight. Please don't let go as well. k? The precious few. =) I'm not greedy. I'll be super satisfied with just the few of you special ones around me when I'm old and all. I can picture us. LKK...all married with kids, and still having regular meetups. But this time round, bringing along our family...wahahaa. then the kids can huddle one corner and play together. while we adults yada like there's no tomorrow. After much thinking...I think I'll bring my dream, I mentioned earlier, forward. hHaaa. how about a honeymoon of a month by e beach??? wooooooo. Timeout from the stressful bustling life. It ain't possible to survive just alone with your other half too. 1 month, 2 months...maybe max. 3 months?

We need frens & family to fill up our lives.

Am I thinking a little too far? haha. I may end up a nun in the end! haha. but watever it is, a nun also not that bad lah! Considering the substandard quality of guys nowadays...lols. Okayokay. Most are rotten. NOT all. haha.

Hurdles of Life

2006-09-11T23:50:00.000+08:00

Phobia? I reckon so.

Never had I travelled at sucha turtle speed b4. Especially on the highways. But now, you'll more often than not see me on the 3rd lane. Heading towards Thomson was alright. It was the travelling back on that fateful path which was most unendurable. & I get really paranoid just seeing them come near my arse, through those mirrors. Especially those zig-zag idiots whom come so darn near me when they zoom around. My heart thumped like nobody's business. Wah. Feelings can't be described. But I can just say..it hurt me real hard. I'm like a changed person now.

But alas. I'm fine. Just need time. Time's the master of all doctors. :)

Something happy. Dinner was lovely. Beef Hor Fun just outside my place. Hongkong Street Rest.~* Yummz. I like it! 6 bucks...with quite generous serving. But wasted, Ice cream gallery's closed @ 9!!! Loved their durian ice cream!! Best of the best! wahhaa. Nm, there's thurs and fri to go ya? (: To all who dread durians, you're really missing out on sth man! *droools* haha. But also good, less people to fight gd food with me. *grinz*

Sleepy sleepy. Shall turn in soon. I wonder if it's just me? But my MSN is down tonight! Arrrr. Perhaps it's a sign. A sign that I should log off and have a game of chess with Uncle Zhou. =P Okay..I shall be a gd girl and do just that.

~Sports, sports & more sports. Aim for a healthy lifestyle. Tml's basketball day. Followed by run on wed. Wonder how it'll be like. *Excited* ~

Adding colour to my life!

2006-09-10T23:11:00.000+08:00

Lovely lilies!

work place's just opposite far east floral...woo! A place I love! with flowers - so pretty & cheap! initial intention's buying one stalk a day to count the no. of days i've worked...& brighten my day as well. but nah. lols. too much! perhaps once a week or month. haven't decided. let's see my mood. hahh. btw, I din't buy those lilies. My mum did! & it's reaally cheap...w/o packaging of course. & wow. I bet you guys noticed the ever flower-ed & beautified Singapore, soo pretty. If only it's gonna be like this all year round.

Hope I can wake up on time tml! *cross fingers* though mummy's not ard to literally shake me...i've set up a formation of 2 alarm clocks w ultra loud rings. & plus you to ring me! That shd do the job ya? lols. AHH. okay. off to bed. which bed shall I plonk myself on tonight? super single? queen? or king-sized? =P

Never undermine what a SMILE can do

2006-09-10T21:19:00.000+08:00

A smile a day keeps the doctor away!!! =)
- quoted by Dr Huang. wahaha. that's me if you din't realize. When surrounded by positive people, you tend to become more positive too. =P

Everyday it seems, there will be STH dragging you behind...making you feel uphappy, angry, troubled or whatever it may be. But how it's gonna affect you...is actually highly determined by you yourself. Whether you put up a =( , brood over it & think that you're the most unfortunate person on earth. Or, you face it with guts, accept it in stride, forgive and forget & take it as a lesson learnt. Do STH about it in short. Don't you think that's a much better alternative?

"Making my loved ones smile at least 3 times a day" - that's my dad's philosophy. Haha, very meaningful hor? Well...I hope to make it mine too. Everyone has their unhappy sides, & if everyone =(...won't that make this world a very sad one? Moreover, when your loved ones smile...you smile too. seeing them happy, makes you happy too. (:

To all my loved ones (esp. my kor & frens & extended family): Though I don't get to see you everyday...I hope you'll be immersed in many many happy events, feeling blessed and all. Be happy!!! because...you've got ME in your life! lols.

~ loved the donuts my dear. though I very much believed it tasted much better there! wahaha. All in my tummy long ago. the donuts. the tapioca chips. All added to my weight!! haaa~* ~

Life still goes on...! =)

2006-09-10T18:36:00.000+08:00

If you guys are wondering if I'm still sane from the forceful impact...

DON'T WORRY ya??? I'm OKAY. I assure you that. =)

Just a little cranky, a little fragile & a little painy in my bones. (old that's why)

Note: Elv-dear...yeah! curse them! I curse him for you! But I guess mine wasn't deliberate lah, though everything was well taken care of. My negligence too for not regularly checking my arse via the rear mirror. darn. But well. I'm glad I'm in one piece. But state of her's in a mess. =( Heart broken into a zillion pieces. Gal, your tummy better recover soon too k?? =P muack~

Took pictures, for evidence. But it's too crazy to upload it. haha. so better not lah har. =P

........................................................................................................

Woke up at 5.45am this morning to send papa and mama to the airport. They left just in time to avoid e IMF. what good timing! & I bet they'll have a rewarding trip in China! hey hang on. But it ain't gonna be perfect w/o me!! *evil grinz* Nevertheless, have fun guys!! SO gonna miss you both. (machiam they read my blog. lols) Will I miss her naggings? hahaaa. We shall see. But realized I'm not an unloved child afterall (when papa & mama's not ard), cos cousin & aunt have been "fighting" to ask me out! Lols. I'll be good. Grown up and all. :)

Breath-taking scenic places they gonna visit...Yunan, Dali, Lijiang!!! Purrfect place for a relaxing 2 weeks. How nice...imagine staying in 1 of their villages, surrounded by those majestic mountains, (i wish i'm there...grrr) picturesque rivers & lakes...with big patches of grassland...Run around, feel the carefree life...& breathe in the fresh-est air ever! woo! Though I can't see myself surviving in that kinda environment L-T, but it's definitely on my must-go travel list & i shall aim to set foot on it one day!

For now, just start saving!

Haaa, I dunno if I've ever mentioned b4...but when I'm old & all, I wish to settle down in a quiet place...by the beach...having the sand & the sea just by me...with the one i love. Just 2 of us...along the ever amazing & beautiful sea...waking up everyday seeing the magnificient egg-yolk rising from the horizon...& listening to the ever relaxing waves. How nice. Yes..dream dream dream. hahaha. A dream of mine. :)

........................................................................................................

Okays. Let's update a little about work. It has been a weeek...very busy? Not exactly. But work's coming in. & I'm starting to feel the seriousness in my boss. He can be really fun to talk to, no stress and everything...but when he's fierce. wah. he can be damn intimidating. That's the thing about people...the many sides of them...which will slowly surface as time goes by. Time's the perfect tester to many things, donch ya think so? (:

Thanks to a fellow newbie, I din't feel that left out for the first few days. More of settling down, getting to know the people, familiarizing myself in the new vicinity & getting the overall picture of my job scope. Dos & Don'ts etc etc. I've been filling my tummy with at least 2 cups of coffee lately. Everyday. wahaha. Y? It keeps me awake after a heavy lunch. & it tastes gd. But comparatively...I'm still more of a milo-girl though. lols.

In the sports division, as a project officer. I'll be working on ad hoc projects more or less for the up-coming year. & currently, I'm working on this water safety thingy. Main aim would be to increase awareness of water safety. Everywhere. In pools, canals, reservoirs, out in e sea, even at home in e bath tub... wahaha. In short, anywhere that has a pool of water.

Up & Coming...
Sports day tis coming wed, presentation on the 26th & another one shortly after. Havta get used to doing up PPTs w/o Mr DanielNg...& doing presentations w/o my usual lovely group members! Bless me! Haha. Am now starting to feel exposed to the unsafe world out there. But alas. Just do my best! & thing's shd turn out fine! Yeah! =) Positive's the word.

........................................................................................................

Special thanks to a particular pal of mine.

Thanks for being by me on ~~Wednesday~~ Thursday. A time when I greatly needed someone that I could fall back on. A time when I nearly died. Thanks for being around like...all the time my dear!!!

Also, thanks for worrying about me on my 1st day of work when I was uncontactable (wahaha. my handphone died on my first day. how great! But okay. It's my fault la. I forgot to charge it the night b4. =P) haha. actually shouldn't be thanks. but SORRY to make you worry so much...thinking that I may have gotten bullied or sth. haaa, but well, at least I know someone out there reaally cares. & to those who beeped and asked about how my day was...you guys made a difference. a difference to me having an average day, a good day or a splendid day! & it was the latter of cos! & haha. lucky-angel...i agree it's nice to know my funeral won't be empty too.

........................................................................................................

Changi Airport. A place to go send people off, or receive people. A place where people shed tears of joy...or tears of sadness. A place where you'll see how much people mean to you? ha. or rather how much they're gonna miss you. or you gonna miss them. & it's a darn big freezer. A place I was a month back, earlier tis morning & soon again to come. A week exactly. & it's gonna just whizz past. A thing for sure - I'll miss you dearly.

........................................................................................................

To all my dear frens: Ganbatte on! & have a great week ahead k! =))

*** looking forward to the 15th & 16th!***

SUAY-EST DAY EVER. ARRR.

Updates of my boring life

2006-09-02T00:52:00.000+08:00

I had long wanted to blog, but due to several unforeseen circumstances…It is delayed till this very moment on a particularly quiet Friday night (or should I say…Saturday morning). Million apologies to those who have been coming to my webbie to check for updates every other day (erm. at least let me imagine their existence la :P call that self-delusion or whatever)…but left in disappointment, as well as those who care about my happenings. Sorry for the looong pause in updates…

Okays. Where shall we begin at?
Let’s just state some main happenings of this week k…

I’ve finally received the total reward upon the completion of my month-old project on Monday, the 28th of August! It includes the time when I first met up with him, to the time I completed every aspect of it. Adding to a number of hiccups here and there, yahoo! gave me trouble as well with a worldwide hiccup that held me back for quite awhile. They actually had a link linked wrongly! Can’t believe it. & because of that, I couldn’t enter my file manager to upload any files…neither could I sync frontpage to it. So…it was a “do-nothing period” untill stupid Yahoo! resolved it. Whatever it is, it’s over! & yay…the feeling was wow…rewarding & relieved. This was hard earned hor. Not as ez as it looks. Ha. Don’t ask me how much… I won’t reveal it here. But it’s minimal as compared to all our many working personnels out there.

........................................................................................................

Coincidentally…the 28th August 2006, marked the 2nd year since the day I’d watched the road safety video clip at Comfort Driving Centre. Look how time really flies. I can still remember how Gan Chiong (‘Nervous’ in Hokkien) I was that day man. Butterflies all over my tummy while I waited in a small room with 5-7 other guys, staring at the various route-maps pasted on the wall like a pig waiting to be slaughtered.

Anyways, I sincerely thank god for the blessings. Everything came together so well. Good weather, good traffic, good tester, good pedestrians…ha. of cos not forgetting the very very impt factor….good driver! Wahaha. Anyway, ever since the incident along AYE (if fmq & Eileen remembers), I have tried my bestest to drive as safely and as focused as I can when I’m on the roads…especially so when there are passengers on board. Because I never ever wanna experience what we experienced that day.

........................................................................................................

Met up several marketeers this week! Missed you guys soo much after the last time we met at…Esplanade for most, & Marina Sq for one. & I’m so looking forward to our up-and-coming dinner tml night (or rather…tonight!). Firstly…it’s the 2 ‘M’s I met up with on charlie-chopin Monday (as declared by our dear M1…Monday’s a black&white day for most working personnels~ haa.) And M2!! Finally back from outer space. Okay lah. I shall be miss nice as usual and state the truth here alrighty? Lols. Yes, I did feel that you lost a lil’ weight~ wahaha. Especially on your face. & forever looking radiant! We had dinner @ the Soup Spoon & coffee @ Gloria Jeans…gee-reat! Food 2nd, company tops it all! =) The rest shall slowly appear as I go down the calendar k~

........................................................................................................

Accompanied Qing on tues night @ East Coast into the wee hours as she was feeling down. Poor girl was smacked by troubles over work and all…all stressed up and facing a 2-way cross road which means she has to make a decision soon. Look on the bright side k dear. This is called the cruelty of life out there…got to be brave and stand firm by your decision once you have come to one. Whichever you make, you know I’ll always be by you yes? =) *hugs*

........................................................................................................

This old back of mine has been giving me problems recently. I have been having a terrible backache for the past week, and it’s till ~~today~~ Tuesday that I felt it getting serious. Bending down to take anything was a no-no, even sneezing was painful. So, I decided to see a doc. Thank god it wasn’t anything serious, he said it should be due to my long hours in front of the computer (as certified by my mother, but I begged to differ! It’s definitely lesser than those uni. Times! But whatever. Lols. Ok.) & I just needed more rest, pop pills he gave me & apply the ointment. Anyway, it’s improving!! =)

........................................................................................................

Received a message from my dear fren at about past midnight on Tuesday. & that sms made me all high & brain-freezed that I immediately (I tink it was kinda like a reflex action) called her back. Rejoice! Joy to the world…la la la LA~ So happy for you! Though you may be facing a little turbulence, a little insecurity, a little mad rush right now, I’m sure things will work out just fine! Yea?? =) But… =( I’ll be missing you. Loads. Remember…flight has to be after 6pm okay? Haha.

........................................................................................................

And there came Wednesday! The day Mua received good news too! Double happiness I felt. Fren’s good news yesterday = my good news. So meaning…I’ve received two great news!! Reflex action once again, I made a phone call to someone. Haa. & after the blabbering…she asked me a very good question which shocked me as well. Literally. I think my mind was in a mess then also. So havta pardon me. I din’t call my parents first thing first…but her. Oh my goodness. But thereafter parents & bro received news first-hand! & poor brother of mine got awaken by my call lo. I forgot about the 12-hour time difference btw Singapore & New York…what a smart sis I am. Haha. But nevertheless, he din’t scold me! Wah. Because it was news worth sharing about. =) *smiles*

Anyways, big big thanks to all my darlings for the blessings & good luck messages/calls…& also to one whom said she was going to go vegetarian for me (I wonder if she really did). But that ain’t important la. Haa, the thought of doing so was already sufficient.

........................................................................................................

After receiving the news (still on Tuesday), heaven seems to start crying. For what I wonder. Is that a sign? I hope not. Lols. Late afternoon onwards…it started raining cats and dogs…till the very next morning! What a nice weather to tuck yourself in bed under your so very thick comforter & zzzz like there’s no tml! Wooo. (Working personnels, don’t whack me. I din’t.)

Originally…the plan was to play tennis from 7-9pm, with the usual tennis khakis…Ade, Jingsi, Miwa, Guoxing, Daniel & Liqi @ Yio Chu Kang Stadium. But alas, the weather went against our plan…& totally spoilt it. However, there was this impromptu plan that came up. As the others were like busy elsewhere (I tink), Danielzhu & myself went to catch a movie (my super ex-gf) & had supper @ Yong He (Geylang’s very famous dou jiang you tiao)! We met a little late as filial him was taking care of his Ah-gong. Okay, rare breed in this era of ours. But girls…don’t think too much…this pig here is long taken already! Wahaha! I hear wedding bells coming by soon! Lols. *excited to attend* =P Okay moving on, movie was so-so, quite funny…but a little over exaggerated~ haa…but not too bad lah…watched with a pig mah. Haaa. Poor him performed “the sprint” from plaza sing. all the way to the cathay (yesyes, & he’s proud of it…wahaha! Because he *zoooomed* over like in barely a few minutes. He was at plaza sing. as he wanted to buy some snacks for the movie but queues were too overwhelming…& we were running late for movie. So…that explains the dash.

For Yong He, wahaha. we ate till we nearly 吐奶 (direct trans…puked milk). Why? Because of a bet we made! & the bet was to drink as many cups of soyabean drink as possible. The loser would be the one who backed out. I would like to emphasize a point…which is…when we reached Yong He right, both of us were already kind of “need” to let go. But, we decided to start the bet without going to the loo, to make this whole thing even more challenging! Okay, in the end, we each drank 4 cups (if I din’t rem. wrong) and thereafter…we dropped the bet. Lousy me couldn’t take it as my bladder was on the verge of bursting. Serious. Ha. Dashed to the loo lo!

Thereafter, we went for a cheap thrill on dan’s bike around Geylang. I love the feel on 1918! Absolutely exciting. Free you of any worries whatsoever. Head knocks here and there. Messy hair. & I love the way the wind gushes past you. Woo!

........................................................................................................

Oh no! Time’s running out…I’ve gotta leave house now. & take the photos I jolly well have to…if not…the consequences are…DISASTROUS. I repeat. D.i.s.a.s.t.r.o.u.s. hHAaa. I shall blog more about it again alrighty?

For now, I hope …

She’s SHORTER THAN ME, FAT (sh*t), WEAR SPECS (sh*t), SINGLE, WEAR PANTS & WEAR DANGLING EARRINGS~

This post's a day late. I was halfway through my entry last night, but due to a very special zhu...haa. I decided to put it on hold...till now. hoho~*

........................................................................................................

~~Tonight~~ Last night, my mood was perpetually high. wahahha!
It'd been quite some time since we have really talked...as in a heart to heart one.
And it looks like our telepathy's getting stronger by the day! woo! lols.
Even we ourselves were amazed and shocked by how we could easily read each other's mind...b4 the other speaks out his/her thinking. right? =P

"Absence makes the heart grow fonder". True?
sometimes true, sometimes not. But in this situation..it is SO true!!
It was so amazing - how we chatted like there was no tomorrow. like time & work the next day wasn't even a factor anymore. we just so wanna spend some quality time together. haa... like 2 old uncle and auntie reminiscing back on their good old uni days...smiles and laughter came by every other moment. so enjoyable. so so nostalgic.

we shifted things we were doing and planning to do...just to talk. talked about everything under the moon...& never had a moment of pause in search of topics to yada...becos there were just too many things to update each other on, too many memories to fall back on! It could have lasted all the way till 7+am. But...ha. it ended an hour earlier due to my dad's scary entrance into my room. Yes...as you could have guessed...I was in red danger. lols. So b4 he make his 2nd entrance into my room again...I quickly disappeared into my comforter & off-ed the lights in my room.

& If you're wondering who's this pig fren of mine...its none other than..Mr DanielNg! The ever evil & mean zhu! haa! & Oh yes, I'm so looking forward to the 9th Sep!!! A tentative date. A day to re-living those precious moments. =))

........................................................................................................

I'm pretty fragile right now...with aches all over me. My neck is aching, shoulders are aching, arms are aching, hips too! wahhaha! Why is that so?? This is the result of wakeboarding!!!! Fun in exchange for a few days of aches. Worth it? YEAH! Absolutely. I love the sea! Love the stress-free feeling when i'm on the speedboat...the excitment which i totally adore...the way my heart calms down while enjoying the breeze and scenery (when the others are wakeboarding)...& the speed of it all while i board! woooo! Just need more practices...and the aches will slowly lessen. Hopefully income will start coming in soon...then I'll be able to go for more sessions!!! Bless me! Haha! =P

........................................................................................................

Went by Eileen's plc to spring her a surprise bday celeb. tdy. It's her bday today..the 18th of August. (coincidentally...it's Elv's actual birthday too!!) So we liaised with her papa...& BOOO! scared the hell outta her! wahahhaa! She was bathing when we entered her hse. Such a perrfect timing right? lols. So we went into her room...took out the cake...and waited for our female lead to enter. As the lights in her room was originally switched off...we left it off. So...we were in the dark. Hiding. waiting. We could see her reflection from the windows in her room...so...we know when she will enter. Haha. & Upon seeing her walk in...we held the cake and started singing a birthday song for her. Before we could finish singing the FIRST WORD (Happy. we "Hair" only..haven "Pee" yet.), she screamed and auto-retreat! wahhaha! we scared her. she screamed! she scared us too in the end! hhahaa!! & we all bursted out laughing non-stop lah. Hahhaa!!! Anyways...hope it was a memorable celeb. for you my dear gal! Haa though we scared ya outta your wits. lols. Birthday girl's none other than Ms Eileen Chua...my room-mate for the final semester....long-old fren from Temasek Junior College. 3 of us...she, ping and mua got to know each other since JC...& their my closest JC pals of all! 2 craziest girls I've ever known. lols. Once again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY my dear girl! =)) Enjoy tml, & may all your wishes come true. I know it may sound very passe. Haaa, but I really wish that for you. *hugs*

& of cos...I also wanna wish our Ms Elvina Wee a very very Happy Birthday as well! You 2 gals are born in the same year, same month and same day. How cool can that be. Must introduce you girls one day. haaa. 2 super nice ladies...so i'm sure you 2 will like each other! haha! (Erm, what am i doing? machiam match-making. wahhahaa!) Yes..& our Elv slp so early tonite. Haa. Have a great day tml ya? =) & cheers to your challenging career in OMD!

........................................................................................................

Princess Hours - I've finally finished it!! WOW! Grt plot. Nice. Really. wahhaha! Strongly recommended by mua to you. Watch it if you haven't! The last 2 CDs were soo touching. I tried my best to keep those hot tears in...but they being rebellious...still flowed down in the end...uncontrollably. =)) Love it.

........................................................................................................

*YAYYYYY*

I'm finally done. finally. Finally!!!
=)) SOOOOO Happy!!~*
Many hiccups here and there along the way...
but all's worthwhile upon seeing the final output.

HAA. I am really feeling 'HIGH' now I tell you...(at what time? 4.01am?!!!)
despite being quite mentally & physically drained from all those scripts!
I spent the whole of today...i repeat...w-h-o-l-e of today just doing it.
It has been a long long while since I last stared... so hard...
so long... so seriously into my most precious computer screen.

*3 CHEERS*!!!! Yippie!

........................................................................................................

Saturday was a blast!!! - a day I probably can never forget in this lifetime of mine. *laughs* It's darn hilarious just recapping the scenes of that fateful night in my head. & to think I'm blogging about it. haaa...but it's a must blog! such an adventure. how can i not blog about it.

Haa, okay. Here goes. Ntumarket scheduled to meet up on Saturday night, the 12th of August, to shower our dear Elvina & 33 with a surprise birthday celebration! & It's planned such that it coincides with the french's fireworks display...so that the probability of arising any suspicion would be the lowest. & Guess what? Yours truly was STUCK IN THE CAR for a near THREE HOURS!!!! *GaspS* & we had a little MARATHON near 9pm! But thankgod Fmq was with moi...I couldn't imagine how time would have crawled by without you my dear.

Yes yes yes. stupid me drove. Yes. & alarmingly...ALL carparks were FULL from erm...6+7???!! The fireworks was scheduled to be on at 9pm (for 20 mins). & 2 hours b4 that...Mad Singaporeans were already 'choping' seats along the stairways of Marina Sq...along the pathway between Esplanade & the Merlion...along any possible path that was a good spot for fireworks viewing. Cars were stuck. Only people could move. It was that bad. From Marina Sq..Ritz Carlton..Esplanade..Suntec..One Fullerton..all the way to the Offices in the CBD Zone...ALL the way to Raffles City! NO lots at all. Cars were stacked up outside every possible carpark thus JAMMING UP traffic. & what a coincidence!!! We bumped into Yishan & Bf along the way! wahAHA. Both were stuck on the roads.

And as time got nearer and nearer to 9pm...you could see everyone getting desperate. We panicked too as time zapped by. Illegal parkings along the route from Esplanade to Merlion & back. Even the bus-stops were not spared. At that moment of time...I was thinking..."This should be the safest time to illegal park. So many cars...the TP can't possibly book everyone right? Like how they never book when cars stack up along the roadsides on Fridays." The situation was that exaggerated. But I guess luck just wasn't with me lah. Even if I'm daring enough to go for an illegal lot...there wasn't any road space to park! Darn.

So we circled round & round & round...got stuck here and there along the way...& we eventually managed to find a lot at 8.50 sth!! At where? NLB!!! - Gosh. that's like ONE freaking Mrt station away? & everywhere beside it are skyscrapers. But it can't be helped. No other way out. So we decided to go for it...and make a dash. dash towards the disgusting durian. dash towards an unblocked view to catch the fireworks. dash towards Ntumarket. What's worse was I'm in heels. Well-done. My fellow runner was in flats thankfully. We ran like we never ran b4 with the pressies in hand...& oh yes. did i mention that our bladders were weak at this point in time? HAHA.

I'm really honoured to have Fmq run with me! haaaa...it's like the sun rising from the west? lols. But I must say she has good stamina! better than me! But I can't see the logic of that. lols. I have been exercising!..tennis-ing & swimming??! & Fmq?? haa. Yesyes. Her logic's...don't exercise & you'll have more stamina. HAaa. peng.

Another point to add would be that tis darlin of mine has no sweat glands! I was literally dripping with sweat after the never-seem-to-end run, while she's still doing quite good. HAHA. omigosh...Fmq ain't human!!!

At the end of the day...did we make it? did we see the fireworks?

YES WE DID! It was spectacular!!!! Absolutely Breath-taking!!! IT WAS SHOO GoOOD that we both practically freezed for the moments. I loved the final big bang! WOOOO!!! We caught it along the way...but it was good enough. HAa. that made my night. All the run...All the sweat...wasn't wasted. I'll try to find pics of the fireworks formation & post it up k.

HAaa. YEAHHH. that's my most exciting & ridiculous adventure to the disgusting durian for you! & then we quickly rushed down to Al Dente Restaurant after the 20 minutes stand-still. Squeezing through the insanely huge crowd. & going against the traffic. Haaa. becos by now everyone's rushing OUTTA esplanade...while we're rushing in! Haaa. By then...Daniel, Andy, Siwei, Elvina, Kailing (the sweet dearie who brought us around in London!!), Jingsi, Sansan, Liqi & Alvin were there seated...with dinner already in their tummy. Haa. Fmq and me then joined in...followed by Qiuling & Rayson. Yishan & Bf din't turn up in the end! Heard that they ended up in Newton..I dunno how. haa. but ya. and poor them couldn't come in time to join us as we din't have any post-dinner activities. This was becos most of gang were shagged out by then. Especially our daniel ng...who din't sleep much the night b4. BUT he still went for pool in the end with Siwei, Andy, Jingsi & Sansan...while the rest of us headed back for our ever tempting beds. Don't be too happy yet my dear gals...it's NOT OVEr yet. hHaaa. The SABO will come~*

WOW. I've blabbered so much without even realizing. HAHA. Oh yes, did I mention Ade's sick? Poor gal was running a temp...thus din't turn up that night. Hope you're feeling better already gal! *hugs* last but not least... HAPPY EArLy birthday ELV & 33! Hope you liked the pressies we got ya!!!!~* hoho.

........................................................................................................

BUT no worrieSss...i'lll be tiGHt-lipped here okay? Till you spread the news on your own! =)) Okays. I shall make my way to LALaLand already b4 I really konk-out on my desk. Nitez.

Caught this musical @ DBS Arts Centon Saturday! It was gooooooooood! but a tad pricey I feel. Just a little. The show's worthed watching nevertheless. I enjoyed every bit of it excluding the few phrases of hokkien that I couldn't decipher. It's not easy to stage up a one-man-show...& he played it off so well!

Confirmed seatings for FC this afternoon! YAYS! YAYS! YAYS! Looking forward to it! =)) I wonder if the upcoming Dim Sum Dollies in Lil' Shop of Horrors will be good. I think it should be! Missed the first one. Missed the 2nd one. Third was ge-reat! How about the 4th????!!

2006-08-15T03:49:00.000+08:00

Look at what we;ve got here!!! 20 packs of TAO KAE NOI!!!!!!!! Omigosh! All thanks to lovely Elvina...I got them at a slight discounted price. still discounted mah! Every cent counts!!Haaa..told miwachan & she nearly fainted in Jakarta. lols. I love the wasabi flavour the most outta all the various flavours...such as original, tom yum, hot & spicy...(that's abt all i've tried b4). It's addictive I warn you. hHAA. & i got the virus from miss chan!!~

Just finished moi lunch! *satisfied* (Really? haaa. resist. resist gal.) haaa...had 1 of my favourite soups mummy dearie would whip up ever since i was a kid. Pototoes, Carrot, Chicken & Onion soup!!!!!~* Yummilicious! I don't normally eat onions (yes, i'm picky)...except those ultra soft ones!! haaa. basically they don't taste much like onions already. that's why i like. Carrot too. Hmm. in short, i just like food to be soft! especially in soup. haa. the softer it is, the nicer it tastes! wooo!

........................................................................................................
Princess Hours - cleared 2 more discs this morning! arr. show's climax is building up! All her dresses are soooo pretty!! love them!!

........................................................................................................
had a nice chat with a dear fren yesterday. though it was short, i enjoyed every moment of it. As i once told you b4, you have a knack of making people feel really comfortable. & that's your forte...+ a true & sincere heart. =)

My dear fren, i wish you all the best in your chosen direction! though it may seem a tough road ahead...i believe you'll conquer it in no time to come. what's a road without bumps & humps? right? there's tis saying...which i believe you've heard. "time & tide wait for no man". take this opportunity & go for it!!!!!!! follow your heart~* life's too short for more regrets. Sometimes, the more you think, the more complex it gets. As long as you're prepped for it...I'm sure things will work out fine. if conditions permit, i would also wanna walk through tis path in a few years time. hopefully. =)

........................................................................................................
Hope your tummy feels better. Received your call during lesson yesterday. Arrr. sorry for not being able to be by you for a awhile longer then. Please sleep well, eat well, & be well! Okay? (:

........................................................................................................
A lil' break I've taken to blog some random thoughts down. Back to where I should be!~*

Happy 41st Birthday Sg!

Somehow...I just can't help feelin' a little more for this beautiful island of ours on this fateful day. Haa. but sadly...it's not everyday that I feel it. haha. Well, better than not feeling at all right? lols. Being there to feel the moment...& watching it live on a dead screen...really is very different. less impactful seeing dead screen. Thinking about it...time really flies. it's been a good 4 years since i've last caught ndp on tele! i've always been down there...glowing in red...feeling the heat...feeding mosquitos with my rare blood type...singing aloud (literally ALOUD!) those classic songs of our nation which were taught ever since we were in pri sch...wahaha! Other than the heat in the early part...i've always enjoyed it so much. Call me mad. or whatever. haha. Nevertheless, i do still feel v. proud on this very day to be part of our nation! Happy 41st Burthday Singapore!

A tad disappointed with the theme song this year though. don't have the "ooomph" it should have. where's the climax of the song??! But she has a great voice...that i must admit. Songs...I still prefer the original versions on the whole. Miss those songs. Songs that are relived once a year.

Princess Hours - Disc 16! 8 more to go! woOOO!!!~*
