Okay, ever since I got into this nail polish club, I've been spending a BOMB on nail polishes.

I'm really glad to have them. Well, here is my post on my September and October haul. It's huge! Photos will be up after my exams.

Amazing What Love Can Do

2011-07-04T15:49:00.002+08:00

It's amazing how the human mind works. One minute one can be head over heels in love with you, and the next, so determined to cut off all contacts.

Yeap, I'm back to singlehood.

We went on a holiday to Krabi not long ago. I thought we were all doing well. Apparently, breaking up had been on his mind for some time. And he didn't even ~~try to~~ want to give another chance. No chance means no chance. He had no trust in me and that was the last reason I expected. A relationship cannot last without trust in your partner. I believed I had made many mistakes but none too serious for a break up (eg. cheating) although I believed being with me is never ever smooth sailing. It's always a roller-coaster being with me. You can either take it as challenging and exciting, or emotionally draining and constantly afraid.

Initally, being friends was still possible. But he suddenly felt it was best if we ~~totally~~ cut off contacts. Well, different people have different ways of handling situations and this was probably his best way of moving on. What I can do now is to learn from my mistakes and be a better person. As he said, I am a strong girl. And I am indeed. Something that doesn't kills me only makes me stronger.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast.

Although he is determined to cut off all contacts so he can move on, I will not blame him for that. Still, if we ever bump into each other, I hope we won't act like total strangers. I will still treat this journey as a good memory to be buried in a faraway spot. I wish him all the best and I thank him for everything.

P.S. I hope you will be loved by a more suitable girl. Do not be afraid to hurt or be hurt. Being in a relationship is not only about giving and compromising but it's also about taking and sharing your problems. Do not be afraid to share them as you'll never know whether she'll truly be there for you in times of need. Do not keep things inside your heart and do not be afraid to get angry. I know there's no free lunch in this world. I will definitely learn to say 'NO'. =)

2011-05-16T23:16:00.000+08:00

I like women but I love men more. =D Have been sleeping real early these days. Yup, I'm still crazy about nail polish. Joel is coming back from his Euro trip tomorrow. I'll be going to Krabi this Friday with my awesome friends and boyfriend! Can't wait! Praying for your exams daily. Jia you!! I hope as I age, I'll look younger and prettier. Hahaha! Wisdom tooth is out and it didn't hurt! Whew..

P.S. You are nothing but a passing cloud. Case closed.

My beloved fan and supporter. =P

How I Got Crazy Over Nail Polish

2011-04-03T17:58:00.002+08:00

I know I haven't been blogging for a very long time. It's Sunday and this post came randomly. Just to update, the Australia trip last December was awesome! I would want to go back there. It's pretty laidback as compared to Singapore. But gosh! Expenses are really high over there. As well as the pay of course. The weather was pretty chilly then.

And came 2011. It started with more bumps than flats. But with God's grace, it really became better as time passes. I'm tutoring everyday except Thursday and Sunday is K18 day with Sin How. Tutoring is easy but tutoring from the heart is not. It tests my patience, it frustrates me and yet, it brings me satisfaction. So far, it's keeping me occupied and forcing me to do some critical thinking instead of letting my head go rusty.

Bob and I past our 1 year of together-ness. We didn't make special cards or gifts. We had some good food and laughter. That's more than enough. I'm glad he came into my life. =)

OKAY! Now back to my nails! I wasn't a fan of polishes. I used to buy off the racks at Isetan. When I was in UOL, I started my 1st OPI Hot & Spicy, OPI top coat Yule Love this Silver. Can't remember what else I bought. Oh, My Private Jet! Until now I haven't used that yet. =/ At that time, I was too into it yet. Until last year around August, I so randomly stumbled upon Scrangie and found out about this brand called Color Club. I managed to get my hands on Color Club through a local spree. Then came Nfu Oh, China Glaze, Orly, Misa, Essie and more OPI. I started following Chloe's Nails and My Simple Little Pleasures. I learn about different types of polish finishes, how to do marbling and scotchtape manicures, and I started to fall deeply in love with nail polish and its wonders. So from 3 polishes, they increased rapidly to 200+ polishes. I love make up but am lazy to do. Nails will just do the same job subtly. So, I take alot of pride in doing my nails. I will be posting my collection up but it'll be a long one. Be prepared for it! Till then.

Marbling!

2010-10-09T12:12:00.006+08:00

Okay, I haven't been feeling happy lately. Very moody and stuff. I'm still spending on nail polishes! LOL! While I hope to control my mood swings, I would appreciate that you control your itchy fingers too. You really ticked me off. But it was over and I'm not mad anymore. Please, just DO NOT do it again when I'd already warned you not to. Oh well.. Stupid PMS. It's getting on my nerves. Why did Eve took the apple?? Now we have to suffer because of her. =(

Okay, I'm done complaining. Haha.. Here are my water marble nails. I learn it from Colette from My Simple Little Pleasures. She's an expert and I'm not. It's my first time doing this though. And I did it with my baby, Ken! It's our 1st ever nail collaboration. Haha.. Thank you darling for taking my pickiness and nonsense when doing my nails. You know I can't take imperfection for that. >< But I still love you anyways! So miss you right now! Have fun at soccer later~

Happy Children's Day! We woke up early to have breakfast but I was on time and Jurong Point Mac closed breakfast on time! Fuck it. Instead, we went to BK and have the Affordables Meal. It does the job as well! So full!!! We took a bus down to Jurong Bird Park to see some birds (my Cutie). We caught all the bird shows and it was fantastic! Hehe.. Love to spend time with my baby. Took lots of photos! I went home early as we had an early and long day. =D

Caught in action. =X

Flakies!

2010-09-27T03:01:00.003+08:00

I polished my nails and toenails with flakies for Celine's wedding on 25 September. I'm glad she was a happy bride. Vanessa and I was texting each other just now. I mentioned that I was upset that Celine didn't invited me to the dinner when she invited some of my closer cell members. I know she was thinking for us financially but I think it's just a courtesy that she should at least asked. Oh well.. I also found out that very few of the girls knew that Quan Wei was admitted to the hospital. Thank God he is fine and managed to complete the wedding ceremony. Well, I found out that he was admitted through Bob. I think it's more like only the guys knew. Yeah, but still.. Having to find that out through my boyfriend (when he's not in my cell) is like WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON? Okay, I'm being like bitch Xia Xue now but I need to let it out! I FEEL NEGLECTED AND WHILE I AM TRYING TO GO BACK TO CHURCH, PLEASE TRY TO MAKE ME FEEL HOME AND WELCOME ME! KNS. Church is supposed to be a place where everyone treats everybody like brothers and sister. Of course there are some bad eggs around. I've personally come across a few. And you guessed it! They're no longer followers of Christ. And like what Celine said, a cell is a place where you are comfortable and you can grow with. BUT LATELY WHY AM I NOT FEELING THIS WAY?? Must be one of my PMS again. *sigh*

Back to my flakies, I got more flakies!!! So excited!!! I bought Nubar 2010, OPI Midnight In Moscow and Yes I Can Can. They are all so pretty! I ask Lloyd to get me my flakies and mascara in US. You can't find it here. Singapore, you should carry more pretty stuffs here! And I also ordered 3 nail polishes from Color Club. I've realized it's not cheap after accumulating the shipping and handling fee. Oh well, after learning how to do marble nails, I am so so tempted to buy more neon polishes from Color Club! I'll probably get a smaller bottle this time. But for now, I have to resist the temptation. I'm still waiting for my last month's pay cheque. They're taking pretty long this month. I will chase them tomorrow! Time for bed. Good night world. Some pretty flakies~

6 Months Anniversary!

2010-09-10T22:47:00.083+08:00

Today marks the day of our 6th month anniversary! 6 months have passed so fast! like in a blink of an eye. Kenneth (noticed no longer Bob) and I met early for breakfast at AMK Mac and we had big breakfast and hot cakes! *yummy hot cakes* The weather was cooling but a little rainy. We decided to proceed with our initial plan and headed for the zoo. We had lots of fun although I was quite picky on what animals I want to see. Hehe.. I hate snake and reptile and butterflies. So those zones were a nono for me. It was super crowded as today is Hari Raya Puasa, a public holiday. We went to see the Rainforest and Splash! animal shows! The seal reminds me of Cutie! So cute and intelligent!! We managed to cover almost every part of the zoo before heading back to AMK.

By the way, bus 138 from AMK interchange goes directly to the zoo. Jo says he will laugh if he sees a couple wearing couple tees. Wait till Rebecca makes him wears one. I'll laugh my ass off then. =P

We had an early dinner at Suki Sushi. Another nice and affordable meal! Bob (I'm still used to calling him that though) and I had a long ♥ to ♥ and truthful talk. Lol.. We headed back to my place and watch Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant. Love this show! Well baby.. After 6 months, I still want to say I really appreciate you, my sweetheart. And I love you to the bits! =) This is the card I made for him. A very simple one for a simple and sweet guy.

Result was horrible. Only had distinction for Maths 2 but failed the rest. Mum booked 2 air tickets to Australia for Joel and I. We will be joining Melanie in Perth for a week from 1st December. I'm still deciding between preschool and hairstyling. TCM is like a side interest for me. And you know what.. I cut my own hair as the 1st step! It turned out fine. *whew*

I can't wait for jie jie Lan to come back to Singapore so I can try out my new polishes! They're Nfu Oh flakies!!! Highly raved but not found locally! *so so excited* =D

Random stuff:

Mel's Flying!

2010-07-16T01:29:00.019+08:00

Bob bought me chicken rice for lunch today! Shortly after he reached, my mum came back. I wanted to stream some shows so I itchy hand go download some application so that I can access the shows. And you know what.. My internet explorer and firefox CRASHED! LOL. I kind of panic for a while. Luckily, Bob was around. He helped me solve the problem and we could finally access firefox. He didn't have enough time to fix IE as I had to go to work. But he'll fix it the next time he come over!

By the way, I'm not teaching Juliet and Cheryl. Now I'm teaching Chloris! Long term tuition kids are now hard to find. Haiz.. Hope Chloris is for long! Her E and A maths also quite cui sia.. Can tell she's lazy and her foundation is weak. But I believe if she works hard, she'll do well. Way to go!!!

Mel will be flying to Australia on Saturday! How time flies.. I hope she'll do well in her studies. And with that unlimited amount of freedom, I also hope she'll know her limits.

I bought so many contact lenses lately!! XD And my tongue still hurts these days. I guessed I played too much with the barbell. Haha! Bob and I will be bringing Jazel out this Sunday to watch Despicable Me! Heard it's a very good show. Here's a picture of this cute little girl from the last outing (Toy Story 3).

Good Weekend

2010-06-20T23:31:00.001+08:00

I had tuition yesterday and it was my first session with the sisters, Juliet and Cheryl. They are quite hardworking and very pleasant students. But their results fared between E8 to F9. Seems like I am going to have a hard time. But I hope to at least help them get a C5 or B3 if possible. Maybe even distinction. I got to start drilling them. And patience is the key! This month's pay was spent even before I got them. =(

I am super into coloured lenses now. EOS is superb. I am going to try NEO lenses. Can't wait for them to arrive the following week! Hehe!! My darling loves them to the maximum! He says the lenses give me a very animated and kawaii eyes! Kirei~ I'll be busy working next month! So many assignments.. =X

Back to topic, I met Bob at AMK hub. He was late when I told him not to! Luckily, I wasn't moody that night. We had dinner at S11 and bought lots of tibits from NTUC Extra. We watched She's Out Of My League at 9.45 pm. Then headed back after the show and washed up. We bathed 'together'. LOL. He took the outside bathroom while I took the inside bathroom. Both bathroom are side by side, divided by a wall. Haha!! Don't think dirty! We continued snacking while watching All About Steve. We went to sleep after that. So tired! Bob slept in Joel's room. He didn't sleep quite well as he's not used to the pillow. Wakaka! >.<

We woke up in the early afternoon and went to have lunch at RK Eating House. Had a round of dota after that. And wala~ It was already 6.30 pm. I kept persuading him to have dinner together but he didn't want to. My parents were home from Malacca by 7 pm. Bob and I wished my father Happy Father's Day. My father insisted that he stayed for dinner. Haha.. Bob had no choice but to agree. Dinner was sumptuous and filling! We had lobster and other 'zhi char' dishes! Bob took a bus home so he could rest on the bus. =DD

Random stuff:

New Passport

2010-06-18T23:51:00.013+08:00

I woke up super early today to collect my new passport! I was slightly late for the appointment. 10 minuntes late. Zzz.. Bob was super early lah.. After collecting my passport at the ICA, we went to Cathay for lunch. Ervin managed to spot me there. I walked passed him and he was staring hard at us. Roftl.. Bob noticed but I didn't. So blur lah.. We chatted awhile before going our separate ways. We had Billy Bombers's honey stung chicken, cream spinach and oreo milkshake. *yummy yummy*

Dinner was at marche with James's gang. We were the first to arrive. Can you believe it??? Wahaha! We had chicken crepe, lychee lemonade and rosti with smoked salmon. I treated James a meal as a thanking gesture for introducing Kenneth (Bob's real name) to me. We cam whored alot! Vivian and her boyfriend, Sherman, had to leave first as they had a dance practice. We hanged around for a while. Then, we went to SCAPE to look for Vivian and Sherman, hoping to catch a glimpse of them dancing. But we were disappointed as the instructor were briefing them on the formation. The rest of us went to have desserts nearby. It wasn't fantastic at all. Bob sent me home and he missed the last train from Jurong East to Pioneer. =(( I appreciate his effort in this relationship.

Melanie back home from Hong Kong and bought lots of stuff. She got me my favourite tinkerbell necklace! That was more than enough for me. Thanks sister! =D Mum and dad left for Malacca for church encounter. Bob will be staying over tomorrow night. ^^

KL Trip

2010-06-07T02:17:00.005+08:00

KL trip with Selina, Gladys and Shauna was awesome! Everything went well except Bobby Man didn't turn up. Long story man.. And the budget hotel we stayed was full of cockroaches and bed bugs. No more Swiss Inn Hotel or any other Inn Hotels. Shopping was excellent! Whoo hoo~ Clubbing at Zouk wasn't as happening as Singapore and I forgotten to bring my contact lenses. Imagine me clubbing with my nerd spectacles. Wahahaha!!!

BFFs

2010-05-31T23:03:00.021+08:00

I celebrated my birthday with my close circle of friends today. Xiang Hao supposed to pick me up but the weather was bad. So, he parked his bike at my place and mum sent us to AMK MRT to take a train down. We met at Cineleisure and had pasta mania there. Then, we proceeded with photo taking and interaction session! Samuel couldn't join us for the movie, Prince Of Persia: Sands of Time. Bob joined us after work and the movie wasn't too bad. I hope this circle of friends will stay with me for a long time! Some have been with me since 18 while others, about 2-3 years ago. Friends forever!

Close girlfriends of mine: Hui Xian, Hui Ling and Selina

From left to right: Humphrey, Sean Tan, Samuel Tan, Hui Xian, Hui Ling, Xiang Hao and Qi Jie (Sel went to the ladies)

My birthday!

2010-05-30T23:50:00.043+08:00

Today is my birthday and Bob planned a very pleasant surprise for me. He told me to get ready by 4 pm. And *ding dong*! He came to my house at 3 pm! He bought me a sunflower and a packet of animal biscuit. He said: "Since we can't go to the zoo (as the weather was bad that morning), I'll bring the zoo to you." So sweet right??? Hehe.. We went to vivo city to catch Sex And The City 2. Oh man! We both just fell in love with Samantha Jones! She's a woman in her early 50s and she has a f-ing hot attitude! The show was great!

We rushed to sushi tei for dinner but the last order was already over. We settled for Modesto. The food there is very unique but it was worth the price. We chatted after dinner and managed to catch the last train home. When I reached home, there was a present on my bed for me! Bob actually passed it to Mel a few days back and asked her to place it on my bed. She was the last person I expected him to talk to! I am so happy! He got me a bottle of perfume(I kind of hint to him that before), Britney spears: Circus. It was wrapped in tinkerbell paper and came with a tinkerbell card! I love it!

He reminded me to go to the address at the back of the card. It was a private album he made for me on facebook. A story on our personalities, thoughts and how we ended up together. It was really very sweet of him. Overall, the day was excellent! Tomorrow will be friends' day!

Tongue Pierced!

2010-05-21T23:35:00.013+08:00

I got my tongue pierced today! Like finally. I did alot of research before deciding and having the guts to get it done as soon as possible. People keep saying it's painless but it is painful for me. Mary (Exotic Tattoo) said I have alot of veins. She found a good spot but it have to be slanted. I kind of jerked when the needle went in. >< Gosh! I'm going to have an early night. Went to book the trip to KL with Selina, Shauna and Gladys. Hope the trip will be awesome! I am hungry now! Couldn't eat just now. =(

Tough Ride

2010-04-05T01:57:00.018+08:00

Family

Sister: You will be leaving for Australia pretty soon to do your degree. Although our relationship are not the best I've ever had, although I seem to yak at you alot, although I seem to probe too much most of the times, I still love you. Not just because we are connected by blood, or that I've lived with you for the past 22 years. God put us together for a reason. It is to learn to accept each other's flaws, to stand by and support each other in times of happiness and in times of need, to love each other conditionally and to help me swallow things down and to put in the extra mile. But sometimes when you are not trying to understand and reciprocate the effort and love, it can be really difficult for me to be the one sided party and the journey gets tougher. Sometimes, I feel like giving up but I hang on because I don't want us to be/ feel like strangers when we have our own lives. I know she feels unfair because it seems like dad loves me more. But I believe like what dad said, they show their love differently to their children (sis, bro and I). Their love for me may be the obvious one but I dare they that they love my siblings equally. Just that they may not show their love to them as obvious as they show to me. Sometimes I tell bro about you not because I want to tell your dirty deeds, it is because I know bro can relate to you better and that you would listen to him rather than me. Jun, I do love you and want our relationship to be better. I'm trying hard to work things out. Nothing is holding me back. So what's holding you? We weren't like that when we were much younger. What made you change? Some problems should be shared with siblings. And although I know you treat your friends very importantly, ultimately, they can't be there for you forever. Family is the one who will be there.

Brother: You have always been close to me. You have mellow down alot since you entered army. But sometimes, even though your arguments are logical, you refuse to admit that you are in the wrong. Try to look things in my point of view. I know we share many things and advise each other, we have similar characters, we have similar interest and taste, you tell me your views and opinions, try to correct me and make me kick my bad habits, but do take time to think on my views. I know you do listen but that's usually when you need to reaffirm your stand. Sometimes, it's good to listen instead of just hearing. I may not be as good as you in putting my thoughts into the correct words and may be blunt, but I am just trying to get my points across and mean no harm. You do give good advices and has a good judgment of charters. I do wonder if we will keep our relationship this close in future. I hope we do. I love you and you will always be my beloved brother.

Parents: Mum and dad are not getting younger anymore. I noticed recently that mum, you have aged alot. Like really alot. And your memory is really getting worse. Your naggings are getting more frequent. You can repeat the same questions like 3 times in 5-10 mins. I know being a super mum isn't easy. Working, trying to sustain a family and managing the household right after work. We always say your cooking doesn't taste very good, doesn't know how to appreciate art and music, doesn't try to understand us, but we love you. I always seem to be impatient and raise my voice sometimes, but deep inside, I do appreciate you and in fact, I envy you. You started out as a small secretary but still managed to give us a comfortable life. Mum, I love you although I don't say it.

Dad, you have been working hard all these years. Thank you for all the advices you have given me. I know you and mum have alot of expectations of me and I don't seem to live up to them. You both plan my route but it turned out that I am the most disappointing of the 3 children. I don't mean to go against your expectations. I know you want me to succeed in life the way you want me to. You both watch so tightly over me that once I got that little freedom, I push it to the limits. I know we have some trust issues here. But if you had trusted me, I would do things that break the trust. I tell you my locations and who I am with, but somehow, you both had your doubts. You doubt my friends, you don't like my job, you doubt my words when I am telling the truth and most importantly, you didn't give me the trust that I deserved. I pray that you will continue to love me despite being such a disappointment. No matter what, you will always be my parents.

Friends

Selina: Sel, I have known you for almost 2 years. Although I don't like your drinking habits, although I seem to complain about you sometimes, although we don't hang out so often, you are my best friend. You are there for me when I need you. You may not know about it, but it really encourages me, to know that a friend actually cares about me and provides a listening ear. We may seem to have some disagreements about certain things, at the end of the day, we look at each other's views, think about it, laugh about it and talk about it. Sometimes you piss me off, sometimes I piss you off, but we still managed to forgive and forget. Thank you for being such a good friend.

Xiang Hao, Ray, Sin How and Alvin: You guys are great and fun people. Thank Xiang Hao for being there when I need you, for lending me a listening ear, and for allowing me to ton. We have our differences but we managed to relate to each other. You know when to joke and when to be serious. You're very frank and have no motives. You are a really good friend.

Ray!!! Aka Farhan Saminadin.Haha.. I know your real name darling. You are a great friend to party with! Not missing out that you give good advices, a good listening ear and someone to gossip with! You have been a good friend to me. We should totally hang out soon and intro our partners!

Sin How, although we have just know each other not long ago, you are someone I can relate to. And you are definitely not just some fair weather friend. I know that being an ah sia kia, people often make friends with you for the wrong reasons and therefore, you might be extra careful in making friends. I may seem half hearted ever since I got together Kenneth, but the truth is I've been pretty stressed out and tired over exams. I know that's not an excuse but I hope you can understand my situation. You drive me around, go for supper, movies and I do appreciate that. I might have taken you for granted sometimes. But I hope you will be patient with me and keep this friendship growing.

Alvin, you have been a great friend, great listener, great adviser and a person to hang out with! Thank you for taking the time to listen to my rants and reassuring my faith in God. You always take time out to attend my outings, take time out to help me when I know you are really busy at times. I cherish our friendship. See you on Saturday! =))

JC 1 clique (Sam, Humphrey, Sean Tan and Phillip), Super 4 (Kenneth, John, Beng Li and Keith) Norliyah and gang (Qi Jie, Fahmy, Pei Ching and Selina): You all have been great friends! May we continue to meet up regularly and may our friendship grow. I know we have our own lives and are busy/ held up with work/ studies, but I believe as long as we make some time, we can work something out!

Boyfriend

I have recently been attached to you and it is not easy being your 1st girlfriend. You have to be patient with my careless actions, blunt remarks and clumsy character. I have to be patient with your learning process of being a good boyfriend, if not, the best boyfriend, your flaws (you know what I am talking about) and your silliness. =P

I will put in the best I have to make this relationship work. I am quite determined to make this my last. And I know you are quite determined to make this relationship work out too. I know some people are not supportive of us and it can be quite discouraging at times but ultimately, we are the ones who will work our magic. Like you said, nothing is written on stone. We are the ones to determine our future. So baby, I promise to put in my utmost effort. Although we had some minor hiccups, we worked it out and got over it. Life can only get better. I want to see you everyday and I miss you like oxygen when you are not with me. You have been patient and kind with me. Though we have totally different characters, they complement us and make this relationship interesting. It may be challenging and a rocky road ahead. So, be prepared for a bumpy ride. On a lighter note, at least we have similar interests, we have unique habits (hehe..) and these are little things that bonds us together. I never once thought of comparing you with my ex-es and I know you try to be an ideal boyfriend. But baby, I love you for who and what you are, including your flaw and bad habits. Try but don't try too hard alright? Things will eventually work out between us. You believe in us and so do I. I can't wait to see you! We will study hard together, encourage each other, support each other and understand each other. I cherish all the things that you are doing for me. =D

Religion

God has always been in my life. Though I may not have realized before, I now know that You have been merciful and graceful to me. Being a confused and troubled teen, I may have hated my life when I was at my lowest, refusing to let go and let God, but You didn't give up on me. You sent people and signs to motivate me and encourage me. I usually feel like You are not here, not doing enough for me, but probably that's because I didn't take the time to listen and not doing enough for You instead. I give thanks to You to show that I still have you in my life. I know I have to pray more often and attend church regularly. This has been my longest 'leave' from church and I know this is not healthy. I want to see people accepting You and grow in You but I have not been doing so myself. I have to start first in order to lead. I need to find back my heart and my way back to You. Please me patient with me Lord. I still love You, need You and want You in my life. Thank You for watching over me.

Life

I'm already reaching 23 and my thinking screw have yet to be opened. Joel's has already been unscrewed. He's retaking A levels this year and seriously studying hard. I know it's kind of late but I still hope to scrape through this year. Exams are only a month away from now. How fast time flies. I pray to have a vision and a clear direction in my life. I know I won't succeed if I continue like this. I hope to do what I want (hairstyling) in the near future and find my talent in there. I just want to lead is comfortable life. I need not live in a big apartment but at least have enough money to lead a comfortable life and raise a happy family of 5.

I guess this is the longest blog I have ever wrote. I spent almost 3 hours writing it! The weather has been lazy lately. Oh man, I know it's not an excuse to laze around. Alright, time to turn in! Classes early in the morning tomorrow. It's going to be a long day.. =X

Good night, world.

Happy Days

2010-03-13T02:16:00.021+08:00

I had Sin How's salted chicken for lunch. Somehow, I didn't find it salty enough. I love the chicken as it wasn't dry. It was juicy! *yummy* I think the problem either lies with my taste bud or it was a defective chicken. Haha.. I shall ask my parent's feed back. I want to try some more! SIN HOW, SALTED CHICKEN!!!

Bob and I met on bus 25 to Bedok interchange. Bob had a haircut! We had dinner there and ice cream at Mac before I had to leave for work. Time was short! =(

Happy

2010-03-08T00:40:00.012+08:00

Today is a happy day. Had a great swim and a good rest. =DD

But I didn't get any work done. =(

By the way, I dyed my hair today. Toned down the colour a little.

And I won some money from mahjong at grandma's house last night.

Domino's

2010-03-04T11:52:00.034+08:00

I had Domino's pizza for dinner with Sin How today. He wanted Old Town and I spotted Domino's. He so wanted to eat that! Haha! We should be hanging less now since people have mistaken us for a couple. We are just very good friends. Sheesh.

I had my favourite paru today! Introduced it to Bob and Sin How. =)

Chili crab last night was great too! Thanks mum for re-heating the crabs for me.

Have been studying with Bob, James, Amelia, Joycelyn, Xiao Xuan and Hui Meing. Today was pretty productive. Hope I can pass tomorrow's Statistics paper.

Have been really busy lately! Tired from the mugging. Hope weekends will have some free time to fill the missing blog entries. =DD

Bob Meets Sin How

2010-02-28T23:51:00.007+08:00

Sin How and I managed to wake up and swim today!

We met Bob at AMK Hub and headed down to Kallang mac to study. Luckily there wasn't any tension between them. Haha.. It was quite a day today.

Sin How and I went to catch From Paris With Love. I think the show was excellent. The ending is sad though. But the while movie was in suspense and lots of action! =D

We had 'tau huei' a.k.a beancurd for supper.

Grandma''s 88th!

2010-02-28T05:33:00.018+08:00

Today is grandma's 88th birthday! Family gathering is important as it bonds everyone together. I spent most of my time today talking and staying by grandma's side. She is getting older by the day. It pains me to see her slowing fading. Therefore, I have visit her more often. Old people can get really lonely and helpless. I don't want grandma to feel this way.

My dad and grandma, 3rd aunt, Melissa, Mark, Denise and Alvin.

After dinner and cake cutting, Sin How came to pick me up and we decided to head for Timbre @ Substation. The Good Fellas were lousy today. We left after our drinks. Soup Spoon at Changi Airport was 24 hour in the transit. =(

So we had food at Ya Kun and proceeded to the Aviation Gallery. We chatted till 4+ am before heading home. We still got to wake up early for swim tomorrow.

Studies With Mushroom

2010-02-27T02:39:00.028+08:00

24th February, Wednesday: Today was a very slow and humid day. I had to drag myself to tuition. Sin How and I had dinner at BBQ Chicken in Tampines One. I went there once with Hui Ling (cell mate) before. Then we went to Giant to get some stuff. I was in a happy mood so I skipped round and round. LOL! We bought some VCDs too. Decided to go to SH's place to watch Universal Soldiers. And I intro B&J's Chubby Hubby to him! Hohoho! His 2nd bro joined us not long after the show started. I think this movie is crap. Heng I never watched it in the cinema.

25th February, Thursday: Bob and I talked for 2:37:45 last night. He didn't managed to get up on time for his morning classes. All my fault. =(

We met for lunch and went to meet James and gang at AMK library. Met some new faces today. One is called Amelia and the other is called Dixon. Today's study was quite alright since I had little time to study. I was on time for tuition today. Sin How asked me to study after tuition with his classmate, Priscilla. We went to Kallang Mac to study till 10.30 pm.

SH wanted to go on liquid diet as he's been putting on a little weight. So he sun bian cooked mushroom soup for me and Pris. We shopped at Cold Storage. It wasn't cheap man.. We went back to his place and waited for him to cook finish. The soup is damn delicious! I had 2 bowls man. SH, you better cook more soups for me. I love love love soups. Especially Cantonese soups. They are the best!! Thank you for the soup!

26th February, Friday: Today was pretty slow. Had work at Seafood International. My verdict of the people there: FUCKING RUDE. At least most of them are. Sibei attitude sia.. KNS. SH picked me up after work. We went to check the movie timings but none preferred. So we headed to Holland Village (been there 2 times only) and had beef hor fun! Then, we had ice cream at Cold Rock. As you can see, I can't do without ice cream. =p

SH talked some sense into me that night. About parents and family. It started me thinking deeply. We stayed awhile longer before heading home. Rocky wasn't doing well so I have to monitor him for a while. That naughty boy lah.. Anyhow eat when I let him free roam.

My baby Chacko.

New Friends

2010-02-23T23:56:00.008+08:00

I woke up early today and was planning to go to school early to study. But I was feeling lazy and stayed a while longer in bed. The I called Bob to confirm if he is going to school. Haha.. We somehow managed to hang up about half an hour later and prepare for school. Today I met 2 new friends call Hui Mieng and Joyce. They are damn fun people to be with! Lunch was in school today. I had to leave for tuition after that.

Got my pay today. Was lower than I expected. I better not be late anymore. Better make up tomorrow and on Thursday. =X

Joel Is Off To Thailand

2010-02-22T23:59:00.039+08:00

I met Bob on Sunday to go collect my ipod. Then we had lunch at Wisma! I wanted to eat the hokkien mee there! Hohoho! We walked and window shopped. It was pouring shit man.. So we went to Shaw House to check the movie timings. There wasn't any nice movie to watch so we went to find a seat to sit and talk instead.

We left Orchard about 7 pm and headed to Changi. The Aviation Gallery changed alot! Talked again.. Lol.. Then I had my 1st time.. At Popeyes! I find the chicken dry. Thus, I didn't have my 'Black Hole Worm' appetite. The buttermilk biscuit was kind of overrated for me. We chatted at the Aviation Gallery till it was time for him to go home. I went to send Joel off with family. We had a group hug and of course, I also gave him a big individual hug. I am definitely going to miss him!

I met Bob and James today and was introduced to Xiao Xuan a.k.a. Rachel. She is a super funny and great girl to be with. Like I'm really comfortable with her. Awesome! Lunch was at NP with them and I can never forget Xiao Xuan's orh e orh e orh~ LOLX! Will be studying tomorrow with them again.

Had supper with Sin How after class just now. We went to Old Airport Road and eat. Then drive to Geylang to see see. It has been years since I went there for eye opening. LOL. After that we just head home. =D

1st Meeting With Ben

2010-02-21T05:34:00.000+08:00

Met Ben and his friends today. I brought my bestie, Selina, and Alvin along. It was kind of awkward. Haha.. We went to Harry's and proceeded to Timbre @ Substation. Ben's friends couldn't wait so they decided to leave for Clarke Quay. We managed to get a table pretty fast. Hehe.. We drank and listened to the music. It was great. Sin How came to join us during the 2nd set after having supper with Sharon and Jun Ping.

He sent Selina home and we went to the park behind my house and.. Before your imagination starts to run wild, we just went there and talked till late. Swing swing, enjoy the night and home sweet home.

Marche and Ratchada

2010-02-20T03:16:00.001+08:00

Friday was a slow day. The weather wasn't sunny but it was windy at all. In other words, the weather was stuffy and humid. I hate this kind of weather. Sin How and I wanted to go swimming but it drizzled for a while. He had work matters to settle too so we just settled for dinner.

He came over at 4.50 pm. Very early today! But I wasn't ready yet so he sat around. We headed to Orchard and had Marche for dinner! It was 2 times Marche within a week! We had crepe with ham and sautee mushroom, swiss rosti with mushroom and chicken, salami pizza with mushroom, root beer and carrot juice with celery. he bill came up to $59++. Pretty expensive. Sin How said he'll treat me. I felt so bad man.. He already treated me on Valentine's day. And again today.

After dinner I went to work at club Ratchada. My partner today is Samantha! Yay! I like working with her. Time pass pretty fast. Talked to a few customers. I think this club is fresh. Something different and interesting. Zeta came over with the boss and managers. They were celebrating one of the bosses birthday. We joined them after work and I had 2 bottles of beer. Way to go! Zeta told me the company might bring in this brand although it is still understudy. I saw Raymond and said hi. e was one of the managers in charge of clubs. =D We talked abit. It was good to see him again. Samantha and I managed to catch the last train home. The night was fun. Had a ciggie before I went to bed.

Sin How went to JB for supper again. He was losing quite abit so I said next time at Marche will be my treat. =)

Simplicity

2010-02-18T05:19:00.002+08:00

As we grow older, the world gets harder to comprehend. It is no longer pure and innocent as we once thought when we were young. We should just keep it simple. Simplicity is best. I love things that are plain and simple. Less is more. Get that?

Bob, stop por-ing my mum. You know she likes you!

Chu San

2010-02-16T23:55:00.000+08:00

I woke up feeling itchy today. So I gathered Selina, Bob, Mun Jun, MJ's cousin, Kenneth Lim, John and their friend to my house. MJ was the 1st to arrive. Then Bob. I went to meet him at the bus stop. And then Selina. Her dad drove her here. We played mahjong and ban lak. John's friend and MJ's cousin lost quite a bit. I won about $26 in total. Hehe..

Sin How is going to meet Alex Chong and Tan and the gang later. Let see if everything works out fine.

I'm going to see Selina tomorrow again. =)

CNY At Sin How's Place

2010-02-16T16:47:00.002+08:00

My relatives came over last night for dinner and bai nian. My little niece, Jayzle (not sure of the spelling), came earlier to play with us. Once again, she tire me out and wanted me to go home with her. The evening was alright. Played Blackjack a.k.a. ban lak with nieces and nephews.

After my relatives left my place, I made my way down to Selina's place. Then for the 1st time, I went to her house. Pretty cozy I must say. Sin How came to pick us up and off we go to his place! Alright, our time there was a little awkward. SH didn't manage to make his man tou because the yeast died. But I still managed to try the burger. The meat is good! I wanted to tabao but forgot to ask. =X

We left his place at about 3 am and SH, Selina, Brandon (SH's neighbour) and I went for supper at Limau. We chatted abit before heading home.

Today is chu san. And again, it's a hot and lazy afternoon.I'm opening my house for my friends later. Selina, Mun Jun, MJ's friend and Bob is coming down! Zhen Xiang couldn't make it. Oh well, kind of expected that. My time is almost up! Gonna play the waiting game now.

Oh yah.. Malacca trip is called off. SH going to Alex's house to bai nian. He'll be flying off the next day. So yeah.. It is understood.

Happy Chinese New Year And Sweet Valentine!

2010-02-15T04:02:00.053+08:00

Visiting was alright today like the usual. Grandma is really getting very old now. I felt so full and sleepy after lunch! Hehe.. I played tap tap on sis's itouch and never knew that it's so fun! Moreover, all the songs are by lady gaga! Whee~

I headed home after lunch and bathed. Sin How wanted to meet me at 5 pm but I was pretty tired. So I went to nap till 6 plus. I went to prepare and Sin How picked me up at 8 pm. We headed to Centrepoint as he wanted to get some things for the house party tomorrow. We also got a present for Sharon. It is a Winnie the Pooh container cum piggy bank with jellies inside. Sin How wanted to go to The Hamburger for dinner. Although I wasn't too keen, I agreed. Heng it was closed! Haha.. I know I know.. But I couldn't helped it. I wanted Marche and luckily, SH suggested going there. I had my rosti! And he ordered chicken crepe, mushroom soup and root beer. We shared the food and it was a fantastic dinner! I offered to go dutch as usual but he said this will be his treat. Thank you Sin How! *sincerely now*

Guess who I met after that? I saw my bestie, Selina! Okay, it was SH who spotted her first. So we chatted abit although I knew she was late for her date. Haha.. We took a few pics before going our separate ways. SH and I went ahead to meet Sharon, Jun Ping and Jun Ping's sis called Li Rong. We gave Sharon her present and all of us chilled at Starbucks for a while before catching True Legend.

The movie was full of action. I found it a little bit draggy. Just a tiny weeny bit. Bob was with his friends, Jeremiah and Joseph, at Wheelock Starbucks. Then they walked over to Cathay Starbucks. Bob and friends was waiting for me there since 1 am. So patient.. So I went over and say hi and talked abit. It's nice seeing Bob again. We chatted for about 10 mins before heading home. Then we talked till late again. SH was tired so he decided to make his man tou tomorrow.

Happy CNY!

2010-02-14T01:39:00.005+08:00

Went swimming with Sin How yesterday. We had Soup Spoon! Then we went to meet Jun Ping. Sin How and I watched Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. Very nice show. Don't leave immediately! There's a short clip behind!

SH sent bro to Cathay today. Had supper with him, Jun Ping and Sharon at Jalan Kayu. Happy birthday Sharon!

Happy chinese new year people! And sweet Valentine! Good nights..

Date At Manhatten

2010-02-12T03:25:00.006+08:00

I cancelled tuition yesterday and told them I'll replaced it another day. I was late for my date with Alvin Terence. I spent too much time dolling up and did my hair. It was like the 1st time I did my hair and heavy eye make up. I'm glad it turned out well. Bob said it was alright. But I think it was great! Haha.. We had flaming prawns platter at manhatten fish market and it was like D BEST! I am so addicted to that now that I'll most probably eat that and only that when I'm in Manhatten Fish Market. My feet was hurting from all the blisters. I hate wearing new shoes! So we got a packet of plaster for my feet and mineral water for quenching our thirst. The movie, I Hate Valentine's Day, started screening at 9.40 pm. But we were slightly late as I was busy pasting the plaster. Movie was good although the storyline was kind of expected. Just before we headed home, we took a few pictures. =)

Thursday was the usual slow moving day. Mum picked me up after tuition and I waited 30 minutes for her as she had to pick Jo up. Jo was 'arguing' with me today. Was pretty upset. Plus I have been feeling pretty stressed lately. Like a rubber band that's going to SNAP! But oh well..

Grandma was pretty weak this time as compared to the previous visiting. She is getting senile. I should really visit her frequently since her health is deteriorating. Sin How asked me out for supper tonight. While waiting for him to come, er gu and san gu was talking to me. I really love them alot and of course, not missing out my grandma. I must be filial to them when I start bringing in the dough. Sin How brought me to Eunos collect my clothes. My my! So many!!! Gosh! I am like regretting buying so many 'winter' clothings. When spring comes, I'm sure I'm gonna spend again. Control CONTROL C.O.N.T.R.O.L.!!!

I told Bob I need to start pushing myself to study and pia for exams. I do want to study with Zhen Xiang too but I am not sure if he feels the same way. Push PUSH P.U.S.H.!

I hope to work hard towards the future. May it be relationship, studies, family or friends. May the Lord watch over me and guide me.

Ugly

2010-02-10T13:47:00.001+08:00

Went to Chinatown and Mustafa With Sin How on Monday. Bought lots of munchies! Back home super late. Our Malaysia strip might be canceled because of the safety issues there.

I hate it when things turn out ugly. Avoiding starts first. Then communication breaks down. Finally, out of your life. FML.

Will be out with Alvin Terence (introduced by Fahmy) tonight for dinner and probably movie. I hope it will turn out just fine.

By the way, Ben Russell is back! =)

1st Meeting With Bob!

2010-02-08T00:42:00.003+08:00

I had Macro classes in the morning. Then went to meet Bob. As usual, he was late. Although I was meeting him for the 1st time, I know he has the same bad habit as me- being late. First few moments were a little awkward as it was our first meeting. But we warmed up quickly and started talking. We had lunch at Cineleisure basement and then went to fix my ipod. Kiehl's was having a contest and giving out free cotton candy! I wanted to eat but was paiseh. Bob mentioned that he wants to eat too so I told him if he wants, he's going to take it, not me. After he took the cotton candy, he passed it to me and I slowly eat it. So yummy! Bob said he don't really eat this but took it for me. So sweet of him! We walked a bit and have to stop the temptation of shopping.

Then, we went for early dinner! Haha.. I know it's crazy. Dinner after lunch. After much discussion, Bob decided to catch 20th Century Boy III with me. The movie was alright. I switched off my silent mode when the credits were playing. After the credits, the story continued for another 15 mins or so. I didn't expect any test messages and suddenly, my sms tone beep. Da lang da lang~ da lang~ da lang da lang da lang da lang da lang~ da lang da lang~ OMG lah! So paiseh! Sin How texted me. So malu. Bob tried to control his laughter. Damn it.

Oh.. I found out Bob is Indian mix!

After the show, we went to sit outside Plaza Singapura and chatted till about 11pm before we headed home. Sleeping pretty soon after my shower. Am still tired from all the nights out. I'm glad we had an enjoyable day!

Blood Donation & Queensway!

2010-02-07T00:36:00.024+08:00

Xiang Hao picked me up from school after CF lesson. We had lunch in my school as it was cheaper here. Bro pang seh again. He went to join his battalion at Sentosa. *pfft*

I didn't know that HSA was so packed on Saturdays! Average waiting time was 1 hour. Hao and I got the same place as the previous time. =) As usual, I was faster than him (my blood flows faster). After donation, we had some light refreshments. Hao wanted to go Queensway but I wanted to go home to take a bath. Sin How came to pick me up from HSA. He made himself home while I went to take a bath. I found out I lost my prefect badge! =((

My blood colour (left) and Hao's (right)..

We left home about 4 plus 5pm. Queensway was packed so we headed to Vivo City first. Muneerah, my ex colleague, left early. So Amir (assistant supervisor) helped me get my stuff. We walked around and happened to spot Alex Chong with his girlfriend. Heng he didn't see us. We had light food at Soup Spoon and Sin How saw his ex colleague. So we had free full meal. It was my 1st time there and I quite enjoyed Soup Spoon. We then drove down to Queensway and walked around. It was also my first time there.

When most of the shops are closed, we went to AMK Hub to meet his friends. The couple wanted to give us a treat for standing up yesterday. We had prata at Upper Thomson Road. Supper was good! I was really really tired. Slept almost immediately after my shower. Lesson tomorrow morning again.

My New Gadget

2010-02-06T01:30:00.040+08:00

The rain was terrible this afternoon and I got pretty drenched! Nevertheless, I still went ahead and met bro at about 5.15 pm. I went to get the yummy chicken mushroom pie and we walked to Aldephi mall. We headed to Jaben Network and stayed in there for 3 hours! Finally after much testing, I still decided to get Denon AH D1001 and Joel decided to get Q-JAYS. Both of ours cost alot and Uncle Willie gave us a good discount plus a free W1 amplifier.

It was already dinner time when we were done. Jo accompanied me to The Cathay as I needed to buy 4 movie tickets for Edge Of Darkness. We had dinner at Long John's Silver located near MDIS. Sin How left early and joined us there. All of us sit around and talked abit. Jo headed home and Sin How and I went to put things back in his car. We went to shop abit and tried out the new egg tarts at KFC. It was quite good but I found it very oily.

There was still no news from his friends and he decided to call them. For some reason, they couldn't make it. I suggested to Sin How to ask the manager to extend the ticket deadline. Luckily, the lady was kind enough to give us 2 weeks to watch any movie, any time. Hehe.. So there we are, 2 persons again. We were the 1st to go into the cinema. So we whipped out my handphone and took some pictures. I was asking Sin How if the picture was okay and the Indian man behind us said, "yes, okay.". LOL! Sin How couldn't stop laughing. That man said that probably because I took 3 times and my flash was very bright. Haha..

Movie was good although there wasn't much action and plenty of conversation. Well, we headed back home after that as I have a long day tomorrow.

Out With Brother!

2010-02-05T13:48:00.004+08:00

TGIF! Now I do not have lessons on Friday so that means I can't see Zhen Xiang on Fridays. =( We better start revising together, okay? Well, I am supposed to do some revision but Joel booked out yesterday. He asked me to accompany him to shop. Jo said I should study hard and not waste more money as mum's financially tight these days. Jun's loan wasn't approved and hence, mum had to find the money somehow. Plus, Jo said Uncle Say Lek wasn't too keen on lending us the money. Oh well.. We're going to get our headphones later but Jo is thinking twice about it. Oh man.. Lazy afternoon today. Kind of sleepy now.

I talked to Bob on the phone last night. He's like a speed truck. I had to 'huh?', 'again?', 'sorry?' quite a few times. We discussed about our meeting up on Sunday. Haha.. Bob, you better not be late!

I got to go prepare now. Better not be late meeting bro. Plus, tonight meeting Sin How and his friends for movie. I don't know if I can last till tomorrow. Classes in the morning, lunch with Xiang Hao and then blood donation with Jo and Hao. Geee~

IKEA

2010-02-04T00:28:00.010+08:00

Had tuition today as usual. I was pretty late today so I guess I have to make it up tomorrow. Sin How picked me up at the home and we went to Siglap to have Xin Wang HK Cafe. He wanted to use the voucher so we went there to eat. After dinner, I went to Century Square to collect my remaining 2 pairs of shoes! BOY!!! I was so excited. Retail therapy. LOL. We headed to tampines Ikea again to get some stuff. As usual, we had fun over there. Talked about our ex and babies! Haha.. Then we wanted to go to Mustafa but Sin How decided to change his mind as his energy battery was running low. So we just went to Kovan there to sit, had rojak and talked.

And no, Bob, we are not dating.

海派甜心

2010-02-02T01:53:00.000+08:00

海派甜心 had come to an end. I would highly recommend this show to anyone. It is a Taiwanese production which has a mixture of comedy and romance. This show is acted by Show Luo and Raine Yang. I watched the last episode with ZX before he made his way to school.

I had tuition today. And met Sin How again. For dinner. We went to tampines Courts to buy bedroom stuff. We also went to Ikea to get some furniture. It was fun at Ikea as we laughed and joked around. Talking about the furniture that we would like to get for our future homes. After making payment, I had ice cream and he had hot dog bun.

We headed to Sembawang as his office was located there. He moved his things over and he was perspiring lah.. I could tell the table was heavy but he rejected my offer to help. So I just sit and explore around. We checked that everything was working and in place.

While on our way home, we decided to eat Chong Pang nasi lemak. It was pretty filling and I couldn't finish my rice. Sin How said the standard had already dropped as compared to the last time he came. After a filling supper, we headed back home and hit the sack.

Zhen Xiang's Virgin Experience To Church!

2010-02-01T03:12:00.000+08:00

I woke up super early today and found out that Jo and Mel are not attending church. So off I went to meet Zhen Xiang at Ang Mo Kio MRT at 9 am. ZX was early as usual. =/ We took a bus to Expo. His eyes were pretty bloodshot and I guessed it was because he didn't have ample sleep. We took the shuttle bus to Expo and attended service. It was ZX's virgin experience to church! He commented that it wasn't what he thought it would be, which I already knew. Worship was more like modern style instead of the quiet and solemn type. Hehe.. Service was quite alright.

We headed to Cine-leisure after service and bought 3 tickets to the Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. We went to have lunch and I had 2 servings as I was really very hungry that afternoon. =X We went to meet Joel after lunch at City Hall MRT at 2.30 pm and we then proceeded to Jaben's Audio shop located at Aldephi shopping mall. I felt his service was excellent. One of his assistant didn't provide good service and I was pretty anal about it. After trying so many headphones, I decided to settle for Denon AH-D1001 for $209. I felt that this was the right choice for me. But I didn't get it just yet partly because bro hadn't found his suitable one. The other reason was that I had to consider it thoroughly too.

The movie was average to me but Joel like it! ZX dozed off during the early part of the show and could not catch what the movie was all about later on. After the movie, Jo and I shared 3 piece chicken meal at KFC. We saw our cousin, Gerry (Geraldine), over there with some of her 'poser' friends. Lol.. She was like the only most 'original' dressing person lah.. Off to home we go after dinner. I hope ZX enjoyed his time today.

*beep beep* Sin How messaged me. We decided to meet up and I requested him to drive me to a few places. Hehe.. First, we went to have porridge. Of course I didn't eat lah.. Then, I went to Hougang to collect my tank top and Havelock to pass up my timesheet. We talked and discussed on many issues. And we headed home after that. Home sweet home! I wanted to watch 海派甜心 with ZX as it was the last episode but he was already asleep. Tomorrow then! ^^ So, I chatted with Bob (James's friend), whose actual name is Kenneth, on MSN till late. Had fun during the session! =)

Mussels

2010-01-31T02:02:00.007+08:00

Well well.. I had facial today and bought 4 pairs of shoes on an impulse at Shine! 1 pair of black low cut boots, 1 pair of red heels, 1 pair of flats and 1 pair of wedges! Om-gosh lah.. I am so dead. Luckily, many items were out of stock from the Taiwan spree. So, my expenditure dropped from $400++ to $300+. *whew*

I had work at night and met Bran after that. He surprised me by bringing me to this restuarant near The Pier, around Clarke Quay area. We had some tomato mussels and ham with beef I think. It was yummy. Of course there was Belgian beer too! I felt so sleepy after drinking. =( Bran drove me home and I'm heading for bed soon. Got to be up for church early tomorrow.

Tired..

2010-01-30T04:02:00.008+08:00

I went supper with Sin How last night. Today's a lazy day. Sorry ZX for my fickle-minded-ness. Baby shower at Jackie jie jie's place was a pleasant one. Wonderful daughters she has! Thanks Sin How for the movie, 14 Blades. And I enjoyed supper. =)

See you soon. Enjoy your day at Jessica's place tomorrow.

Gonna sleep now. Long day tomorrow.

Side note: Joven just untagged all his pictures on facebook. And I took 3 whole albums down. I am starting to hate the letter J. I hate you. *GRAHHhhhhhh*

Good night, world.

Surprise Me, Surprise You

2010-01-27T02:11:00.038+08:00

Dinner yesterday with Sin How was quite a good one. We talked quite a lot and he shared many things with me. I stuttered a few times as I kept thinking before I speak. I was afraid to offend him hence 'the think before you speak' was knocking inside my head. Haha.. I can be really blunt at times and have offended people before. So I'm trying to practise this habit of 'think before you speak'. Even Jo says I should cultivate this habit. LOL. After dinner, we sat for a while more before showing Sin How to my place. He said that our design was simple and nice. And he said my house is very cosy! It was like the 1st time a friend actually likes my house and my room. Probably because yesterday was windy. Not the usual Michelle's stuffy room. Hehe..

At about 10.10 pm, we headed to Yassin to meet Alex Chong. My whole time there was awkward but Sin How was polite enough to apologise to me. So courteous right? *bleah* We stayed till about 11.40 pm before heading back home.

Tuesday was the usual. But today I tried a whole new look. I'm glad it didn't turn out bad. Haha.. I kept worrying coz many people keep looking at me. >.< I went to meet Kayvern after class. Sin How decided to join us too. Mum said I shouldn't bring 2 random guys out on a date with me. I'll take note of that, mum! But I thought no harm making more friends.. =/

Kayvern actually surprised me with tiramisu made by him and a mini bouquet of flowers (lily). That even made me felt more bad. I'm sorry Kayvern but I really treat you as my friend. We went for dinner and Sin How joined us after that. We went to watch Tooth Fairy. It was fucking funny lah! Haha.. We were laughing our heads off. After movie end, we went to the prata at YCK Road there for supper. Sin How drove me home. I had a late night AGAIN! Was playing with James and Bob and we won! MUAHAHA.. Like finally.
-.-

Happy Birthday Gerry!

2010-01-25T14:55:00.003+08:00

WOW! I had a slight hangover and a bad neck ache since I haven't been clubbing for 3 months plus. Sunday was a tiring one. I woke up at about 12, had lunch, played 1 game and then went back to sleep again. Haha.. I was supposed to go out with Jo to get headphones but we were just too tired. Oh well.. I got up, bathed and went for my cousin, Gerry's (Geraldine), 21st birthday. The food was quite bland. Thus, dinner wasn't that all fantastic. But hey, it was her treat. =)

I found out that she and her bf were no longer together. It was kind of 3rd party thingy and I could tell that she was hurt pretty badly since Izat was her 1st boyfriend. I remembered the 1st time I met him. I didn't think they would last. I felt that he wasn't the right one for her but of course I didn't say. They actually planned when and how their wedding would be. Well, shit happens. So I just consoled her and advise her. My other cousin, Jasmine, patched with her ex-boyfriend. Well, I can say he didn't give me a good impression. They wouldn't last too. Trust me. My dad say I have good judgment. But when I am in the person's shoes, I kinda lose most of my rationality and it is not a good thing.

Back to the topic.. Love these days are overrated. People don't really know what real or true love is. I don't want to start my philosophy here. But I do hope that I will find the right one for me in time to come. I believe there's one for everyone. God planned out lives and I believe His plans never shortchange us. Sin How told me this: "Relationship is a burden. Breaking up is a relief. And marriage is a suicide." What are your views? Write them on my tagboard if you have some opinions. =)

Sin How, I'm looking for to our day trip to Malaysia. Lol.. I'll be meeting him tonight for dinner. He's actually Alex Chong's and Tan's friend. Why am I recontacting back with so many people.. Pfft.

Reunion

2010-01-24T05:57:00.027+08:00

Well well.. After the emo period was over, I felt much better! Almost in excellent condition! I had a very very good dinner on Thursday with auntie Irene, mum, dad and sis. We had Japanese food at Sushi Tei! Jun and Gloria was supposed to hang out after dinner so she came over to meet Mel first. Then dad told her to join us but she didn't want to. So, dad insisted. And she finally gave in. Dinner was very 'ri nao'. We headed home after that and sis went out with Gloria.

Classes are as usual on Friday. Zhen Xiang and I went for lunch and dinner together. Then we decided to catch The Spy Next Door. I chose a happy movie because I want to brighten up my night. Zhen Xiang didn't mind accompanying me. Thank you alot! You've been supporting me all this while although I still think you ARE stubborn! Haha.. The show was really a good choice. Very funny and heartwarming show. Thanks Jonathan (my cousin in Kuching) for the recommendation!

Well, I had corporate finance lesson this morning as usual. Then, mum drove me home and I slept after lunch. Jo's room is still the best! So cooling! My room was like the most humid of all the rooms. *sad* I cleaned my rabbit cage before I bathed and prepared to go out for dinner. I treated my family to Mellben Seafood. But when we got there, everything screwed up. The magazine put Mellben but the number was Uncle Leong's Seafood. So, the place I reserved was actually Uncle Leong's. And I found out that the bosess of Mellben and Uncle Leong's are actually brothers. Perhaps they mix up the signboard name. =(

After much discussion, I reluctantly settled for Uncle Leong's. We ordered tofu, sweet sour pork, creamy butter crab, salted egg yolk prawns, broccoli with garlic and oyster sauce and white rice. Luckily, dinner was delicious thus I didn't complain much about not having dinner at Mellben. The bill came up to $119.10 which was quite reasonable. We fetched Mel to Gloria's house as they were going to celebrate together. I went home to prepare for clubbing. Selina decided to join her new group of friends at St. James. Supposedly, only Joo, Chian, Hann Bin and I were going. In the end, Angela, Tze Siew, Leo, Marcus, Lloyd and Bran came to join us! Happening sia!! We had a really fun time. I think I really rusty liao.. Dance also tiring. Haha.. Jo say I dance like guy lah.. What the strawberries.. It was a fun night! Off to bed.

It's Complicated

2010-01-21T11:52:00.004+08:00

I met Kai Wen on Tuesday for dinner! And met some of his friends. We had dinner at Everything With Fries and it came up to $17+ per person! We had fun talking and I made some new friends. The food there was good though the selection was limited. I had breaded salmon and egg soup!

Joven's attached! Although our relationship was long gone, feelings still linger. Well, Ben says I need not feel happy for him but I still wish him all the best! Wen Yang told me to play the UFO catcher whenever I pass an arcade. The day I caught one will be the day I move on and replace the green beanie Jov gave. I know Wen Yang was just trying and console me but it helps! =D

It's complicated. That is what alot of people would say about their relationships now. Sometimes, I don't understand why but I think I know now. It is us people who makes things complicated when things are actually very simple. It is either yes or no, will or will not. Why isn't the world simple enough to comprehend?

Right now, I'm just waiting. Waiting for God, waiting for the right one. We are all humans, we are sinners, we have our needs, but.. Whether we want to live righteously or not is up to us. I want to and I shouldn't keep finding excuses not to. =/

There are many potentials out there and some of them are really, really nice people. But taking the 1st step towards God is a big one. I must not let myself fall into the vicious cycle anymore. I want to get out of it. People ask why are you Christians so strict. They don't understand why we place God so importantly. Living in a family with 2 religions will create problems. That will be my next blog. Stay tune~

Alright, I shall continue my 'It's Complicated' thing. Ervin told me he doesn't understand why girls these days just want casual relationships, with no strings attached. Well.. I think we live in a material world. We just want company, short term security without getting ourselves involved. That's why. It seems alright to have such relationships. BUT it is not. It is morally wrong. Really. That's what I think. We girls should learn to protect ourselves. Not succumb to the worldly treasures. Bible says that our treasures are in heaven. It is true because when we pass on, that's where we'll be going. Or at least, that's where I want to go.. Oh well, it's complicated. ;)

New Hair Style!

2010-01-17T23:10:00.031+08:00

Today was a special Sunday. I woke up super early for church, bathe, make up and went to get breakfast for sis and dad before heading to church with Jun. I didn't sleep in church today! Although I was only paying half attention. I was supposed to meet Bobby but he overslept! BOOO! So after church, I went to meet Joven and he brought me to his cousin's place to see the chinchilla. Then we talked abit.

After viewing was done, I went to pay my didi Corey a visit but he was still sleeping! So auntie helped me trim, dye and bleach my hair. The colour came out super bright and didi was also shocked to see the new colour. LOL.. Auntie and I didn't expect my hair to 'eat' so much bleach. Had we known, we would have choosen a lighter colour for the dye base. But I kind of like it. Embrace new changes in 2010! Love more, play less, work hard, sleep early, eat healthy, blah blah blah..

I went to meet Joel for Daybreakers and on the way to my destination, I gave up this seat for an old uncle and people was staring at me. I don't know what the fuck are they looking at. Is it my hair, me giving up seat or cannot believe ah lian got kind heart? Haha.. Sadly, there were 4 old people and only I gave my seat up. People should be more compassionate and practise this 'shi li'. Enough said. Guess what.. I was early! So I waited 20 mins for Jo. He said to keep up my punctuality. I am trying to!! It takes alot of effort to kick this 'coming late' bad habit which followed me since I was little. We headed to BK for dinner. Daybreakers wass an awesome movie but the last 8 mins + totally killed everything. Jo said the movie was shit. He also mentioned that a bad ending make a bad movie. Oh well.. We'll be catching more shows in time to come!

Jun fetched us from Serangoon MRT and we kind of argued coz I wanted to head somewhere else and she wanted to use the car. Oh well, I just gave in. So she fetched me home and bro to camp. I will try to be a better sister, bro and sis!

Cooking Time!

2010-01-14T11:50:00.001+08:00

I was sick on Monday till today. I'm down with flu and cough. As usual, dad is nagging about me and reminding me to take medicine which I always do when I'm ill. I realized that SIM had introduced this tapping of card to mark attendence policy and it sucks! Big time. Oh well, we also have to tap like when class starts and not during break coz that would mean late or absent. Grace period is only an hour which I think it is quite acceptable. I skipped lesson and cancelled tuition on Monday so that I could rest at home.

But you know what.. I ended up cooking dinner in the end. Haha.. I had the sudden mood to cook so I googled, went out to buy the ingredients and prepared cooking. I took about 2+ hours to finish. Making the cheese sauce was tough work. I added milk, lots of parmesan ans romano cheese, honey baked ham (sliced), mushroom (sliced and fried), garlic (baked for 45 mins and mashed), potato (boiled and diced) and stirring non-stop till my hands ache! Bratwurst (german sausage) was boiled in Tiger beer and chopped onion then toasted. I didn't know how to see whether it's cooked so I boiled a little longer. It turned out abit dry. Well, I ensure it'll be juicy next time. Hehe..

Soup of the day was clam chowder with milk! Zhen Xiang came over to tried my cooking. He said next day no lesson so he didn't mind. At first, I didn't knowwhat he meant but after that, I do! Mean lah.. Dinner was filling and Jun didn't finish her portion. ZX helped me do the dishes while I prepared fruits even though he can cut better than me. Haha.. After dinner we talked abit, played with Rocky and Chacko before he headed home. What a tiring day!

Ms Clare cancelled Macro on Tuesday as she was unwell. I had leftover soup for lunch and dinner. Haha.. Mixed with the ingredients and pasta of course. Good for me as I rested at home.

Mum was back on Wednesday and she tabao-ed lunch for me! I went for tuition in the late afternoon and gave my students Ferrero Rocher. This is a pleasant bunch of girls. I walked to Kovan Heartland Mall to buy Edo sushi for dinner which costed me $11.10. Then I took a cab back as the bus will take 18 mins to arrive! So long!! They should speed up the time for bus 136. Moreover, it was peak hour! I got home, ate, bathe, play a match of dota and headed for bed. So tired.

I'm having tuition today and still don't know what to have for lunch I'll be meeting ZX for dinner and we should be having yu pian mee fen tang (slice fish mee soup). Update soon!

Invictus

2010-01-10T23:15:00.012+08:00

INVICTUS

Out of the night that covers me,

Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

This is a victorian poem called Invictus and it had helped South Africa's first fully democratic elected former president, Nelson Mandela a.k.a. Madiba, during his years of incarceration.

Today was a special Sunday as I had Corporate Finance class in the morning. Upon arriving in school, I realized that I did not bring my handphone. The old me would panic like a spider but the new me did not. I simply got down Xiang Hao's and Gerald's number through my sister. Xiang Hao picked me up at school in his white SYM VS 150 scooter. It is fully automated. He kind of beat the read light as I was talking to him. Thank God there was no oncoming vehicles at the box junction! We headed to West Mall at Bukit Batok and bought tickets. We had lunch at foodcourt.

Well, we did some catching up before catching Invictus directed by Clint Eastwood and acted by Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon. The show is about the foresight of Nelson Mandela. Matt Damon plays Francois, an American football (we call it rugby) captain who is leading Springboks, an all white team from England except for Chester. Contradictary is that Springboks represents South Africa's football team. The team is supported by whites and disgusted by blacks. However, in the young hearts of the black children, Springboks was a team where they idolized and looked up to. Watch the movie to find out more! =P

After the movie, Xiang Hao brought me home in his scooter. I rested at home for a while before meeting Gerald at Sushi tei for dinner. We talked quite abit and I foot the bill as he paid the previous time. I had an early night as I wasn't feeling too well. I found out that Auntie Jackie had passed away due to a liver cancer relapse and mum's flying off to Sarawak tomorrow to attend the wake. So fragile is the human soul. The moment you give up the will to live, you are gone.. We should all learn to appreciate life and treasure our health. Rest in God, Auntie Jackie.

Long Beach (Dempsey)

2010-01-10T00:43:00.001+08:00

Today is a long long day for me. I woke up early for Corporate Finance and I wasn't feeling too well. Mum went to pick me up from school. I went home, had lunch, cleaned the rabbits' cages. After cleaning, I decided to sell Ruby and the babies as they are seriously giving me too much work. So I'm just keeping Chacko and Rocky. Mum and dad fetched me to my work place today. They still disapprove of me holding this job. Sheesh! Working there was quite pleasant. Today's partner is Alyssa. She's also a new girl and it was my first time working with her. We had a glass a young coconut juice each as knock off time was nearing. It was fresh and yummy! Hehe.. My parents picked me up and we headed home! It was really a tiring day as I didn't have my usual afternoon nap! Got to sleep now.. Having Corporate Finance class tomorrow morning. YES, on a Sunday morning! =(

The Vampire's Assistant

2010-01-08T23:38:00.039+08:00

Today wasn't the typical Friday for me. I was kind of rushing due to lack of time. I was supposed to visit my sister but she already got discharged this morning. Hope she feeling better now. Drink more water, Jun! So, I skipped the visit and went for lunch with Kayvern at the market place. I wanted to eat mee tai mak but uncle close liao!! So we settled lunch with kway chap! Kayvern, as usual, ordered so much food!!! But we somehow managed to finish it all. Haha.. He drove me to Havelock Road to collect the uniform from Zeta. She wasn't feeling well, thus she was resting at home. Get well soon, Zeta! After collecting my uniform, Kayvern sent me to school.

P.S. Thanks Kayvern for the herbal tea and all that late night supper! And for bringing me home in one piece!

During break, I went to meet Zhen Xiang as his class was just beside mine. I passed him his birthday card and he liked the drawing. But the inside wasn't up to my expection. Probably because I was rushing and my pen couldn't come out right! Grrr... =( I hope you like the card! We both know why the cover is a pink panther. *wink winks* And yes, I'll definitely study with you. We should start real soon. Exams will be here fast! I read your blog coz it's interesting. I only read your blog as of now. Be honoured. Haha.. =D

We headed to AMK hub after lesson. The bus (74) was freezing cold that day! *brrrr* After much walking and thinking, we decided to eat sushi for dinner. I gave Zhen Xiang a dinner treat at Suki Sushi and a movie treat. We watched Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant. I think it's a great movie! I went home to google the novel and realised that it's 4 book series and a triology each. Meaning there are 12 different stories/ chapters! I hope the 2nd part of the movie will be as great as the first. The movie lasted for 109 mins. We both headed hme after the show and had an early night.

I have morning class tomorrow and work in the evening! Gonna be a long day.. And oh, congratulations to Ray for finding a girlfriend. So so unlike him. I hope he's a changed man. =X

Happy Birthday Zhen Xiang!

2010-01-06T12:29:00.002+08:00

Everyday has been the same routine that's why I didn't blog much..

I met Kayvern on Saturday and we smuggled our BK dinner inside the cinema while watching Sherlock Holmes. Hehehe.. It's a great movie!! After the movie, Kayv went ahead to give me my present. The 1st one was pretty small. So I opened it up and it was a tweezer inside! He purposely gave me that to chee siao me lor.. I saw it and gave him the 'dot dot dot' face. LOL! Next present was something I really really like alot. It's a mini figurine for me made by him. So lovely! And I happened to wear the same colour top as the miniature! He also made 2 cards for me. For the epilator, I went home to open. Thanks Kayv!

I skipped church on Sunday again. That's really bad. I really have to go back to church. Stayed at home for the whole of Sunday. Eh, not really. Haha.. Kayv drove me to Zeta's place to pass my timesheet. Then, we went to Suntec to pick his mum and sis and to Eunos to pick his 'sao zi' before fetching me home. My cousins, Jie Jie Lan (Jean) and Uncle Sey Lek were already at my place before I left the house. It was Jie Jie Lan's birthday so Uncle Sey Lek treated us dinner at Sushi Tei and YAY, the old chocolate wafer came back! But they changed the wafer. I didn't bother because the contents were more important! YUMMY YUMMY! We had supper at Chomp Chomp after that and sister treated. =D

Monday was boring.. Tuesday was another boring day. Jun didn't tell us that she has been vomitting for the past 5 days. She was finally sent to the clinic to do a thorough check up. She took blood tests and the result will only be out today. Devan (her ex) facebooked me and I found out that my sister actually dumped him, not the other way round. And it was because of Gloria. Again. I find that she's like invading into my sister's life. Even Joel feels so. Moreover, Jun is going to Australia to study with her soon. Gosh! I mean, studying is good. But Gloria influenced her to go over. This year will be a lonely year for me. With Jo in camp and Jun overseas.. =(( At least I still get to see Joel. But Jun.. Just when our relationship was getting better, she has to leave. Oh well, see what God plans for us then. I just hope we will all keep in touch and continue the bonding.

I met Brett for lunch and we cab to school together. Then we met for dinner too and he sent me home. And boy! Journey with him was tiring. He was full of crap! Like only to me? Nene seh.. Keep disturbing me. But having this kind of friend can brighten up my day. Thank you Brett!

Today is Wednesday! Happy birthday Zhen Xiang! Sheesh, he's already 26! HAHA!! *bleah* He's going to celebrate with his friends today. I'll celebrate with him on Friday instead. Well, I hope your start of this year will be a blast! I'm going to Pertapis Women's Home for tuition later. Hope I can have more assignments. Heee... Got to drink more water or else I'll have a sore throat. Have been eating chocolates and chips alot! I will be meeting DK (Daryl Kang) after tuition for dinner. Stay tune!

N.B. I tried the epilator Kayv gave. It fucking hurts but at least, I'm pretty much hairless now. LOL!

Goodbye 2009, Hello 2010

2010-01-02T13:06:00.004+08:00

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

2009 is finally over. 2010 will definitely be a good year for everyone! At least for me!!! =) Counting down at my cousin's place was a blast! We sang song, played and talked. We had a sharing session and I would like to see more of this kind of gathering in future. I handed out Ferrero to everybody. We shared with each other about what GOD had done in our lives for 2009 and what we would like to see and improve in 2010. Thanks cousin Gary for the ox tail stew! It was DELICIOUS! Everything ended about 2.30 pm.

I went to meet my ex neighbours, Keith, Olivier and Casper, for a house party hosted by their church friend, Phillip. I was worried about being the odd one out but I managed to fit in. Yapee! I made many new friends that night. We played drinking games and the guys tried to get me drunk in beer except for my neighbours of course. Haha.. But heng, I'm still surviving. Someone mentioned that I'm a good drinker. Well, now I know. We went for prata and 4 guys walked me home after that. Hehe.. Zhen Xiang accompanied me through sms till morning! Thank Zhen Xiang!!! I'm sorry I didn't countdown with you. Please don't get mad at me.

1st January 2010 was a rest day for me. Mum made fish maw with rock sugar. I love that. If I had known dad didn't like it, I would have drank his share. Wakaka! I planned to sleep early but Ben Russell kept talking to me! He didn't want to let me go. =( He'll be back sometime next week. Alex is flying today! I thought yesterday. Haha.. Silly me. Ben said he'll have a house party at his apartment when he's back. I can't wait! Oh, my dear Ray called me to say that he's leaving for Japan for holiday and asked if I wanted to get anything. =D

I had classes this morning! Gosh, I was so sleepy. I'm having lunch now. Zhen Xiang played mahjong the throughout the whole night and won $18! Later still have to clean rabbit cages. Getting tougher man.. After that going to Geylang to pass my time sheet to Zeta. Good news! I'm starting my tuition job next week! Whee~ Money money money! Hehe.. I really got to save up. Then I'll be meeting Kayvern for Sherlock Holmes tonight. I heard it's good. And I might be meeting Gerald after that for supper. It has been a long while since I met him. Till then!

PEZ Fling

2009-12-31T16:55:00.002+08:00

OMG, my blog post are all 1 day late. Haha! Yeah, I was working at SAF Sembawang yesterday. There were so many army boys and the in - charge , Dave, told us that it was the 1st time that they were bringing beer into the camp for a celebration. He was quite a flirty person. As the blunt me, I didn't entertain him so Gen entertained him instead. There were many malays and most of them were drinking alot!

Overall, it was good. We had to wear christmas hats given by Dave. A few asked for my name and one gave me a Ferrero Rocher rose. How sweet of them. Hehe.. Dave gave us some food from the buffet as he was afraid we would go hungry. He also gave us the christmas hats as 'presents' and gave us 1 carton of Ferrero Rocher (3 x 16 6)!!! Gen and I split 3 each. It was my first time working in a army camp and I think it was really fun! I would like to look forward to more of such events.

I met Alex after work! He was an hour late but he already informed me beforehand. So while waiting for him, Zhen Xiang kept me company through the phone. I was also touching up my make up. In public! Gosh! I'm getting thick skinned. Alex reached about 10.30 pm in his mum's BMW 6 series. We then headed to Newton Circles for supper. Alex went to the toilet as he had a tummy ache. I managed to find a seat and waited for him to be done. Then we had white carrot cake (no chilli, no cong), chicken satay, rojak (cucumber and you tiao) and sugar cane with lemon! His treat. Yay!

After dinner, we spent almost half an hour in the car thinking where to go next. Then I suggested Marina Barrage and off to Marina Barrage we go. My my, it was so windy over there! There were people flying kite and it was like the 2nd time I've seen someone fly the kite till so high. Alex said next time he back we go fly kite. Haha.. We lied on the stone slab and enjoyed the wind. Of course we were also talking. Both of us were freezing as the wind was really strong. We talking till about 3.15 am then we decided to head home. Due to the cold wind and slab, my neck and left leg was hurting, like rheumatism sia.. Alex's back was a little aching too. So.. Alex offered to piggyback me down. So paiseh lah! After much persuasion, I gave in and he piggybacked me all the way to the ladies. Hehe.. It's been a while since someone piggyback me. =D

He went for a smoke while I was in the ladies. Then, he drove me home. I gave him the PEZ sweets, Kinder Bueno, and one box of Ferrero Rocher. I'm gonna make him hit the 100 kg mark. LOL! I'm giving 5 packets to Zhen Xiang. So bias right.. =/ Alex demanded a good night kiss as I didn't give him the previous time. So there I go. Just a peck on the cheek for my PEZ fling. Lalala~

Alright, I'm going to take a nap now. I will be bringing 1 box of Ferrero to Jie Jie Angeline's place tonight to give my nephews and niece. I'm planning to wear my peacock maxi dress! Haha.. Might be meeting Kayvern for prawning or Alex tonight. Alex will be flying to Beijing for internship tomorrow! Let us all countdown to 1st January 2010! Bye bye 2009!!!

Painting The Town Red

2009-12-30T15:12:00.002+08:00

It was a usual school day yesterday. There wasn't any Stats class anymore so I went ahead with my Macro econs class. After class, Zhen Xiang ent to tabao laksa at his place and came over to meet me in school. Laksa is nice but I wasn't really in the mood to have something spicy, partly because my tummy kept churning. Haha.. We headed to Orchard about 8 pm. That was when we started snapping pictures non-stop. Even on the MRT! Made funny and stupid faces. Some people were watching and smiling. Haha.. I'm waiting for the pictures to be uploaded in my com so I can upload more here. Alex was tired so we didn't meet up late in the night. Like late. He's like forever packed with activities. Very hard to catch him. He'll be leaving on 1st January 2010. Time flies pretty fast man.. Finally, 2009 is ending soon. It wasn't a very good year for me.

I got to get ready for work soon. Today will be station at SAF Sembawang Camp from 5 pm till 9 pm. I should be meeting Alex after that for supper. But then again, he might be flying an aeroplane. Haha!

Sarawak Trip

2009-12-30T03:38:00.004+08:00

Hey guys! I haven't been blogging for a while as I was away for a short trip to Kuching in Sarawak, a.k.a. Cat City, with my family excluding my brother. So, this is going to be a long long entry. Haha..

25th December: We left on christmas day, 25th December! We were quite on time on that day but dad was rushing us as usual. It was the first time I sat on a budget airplane. Before I left, Zhen Xiang and Kayvern accompanied me on the phone. I bet they're gonna miss me while I'm away. Lol!

I reached Sarawak at about 4++ pm and was greeted by my cousins (auntie Winne and Lisa, Uncle William and Francis), nieces (Janice and Nelly) and nephew (Jonathan) from Sarawak. arrive at the hotel, Grand Margherita, at about 5 pm. The hotel was quite well decorated. There was a small christmas decoration at the hotel lobby. It was made of real food and biscuits! It reminded me of Hansel and Gretel and The Gingerbread Man! Hehe..

We checked in and went to a restaurant for dinner with all my cousins! We occupied 4 tables! Can you imagine that my extended family is so big?? We had a local veggie called Midin. It's damn delicious lah! But I found out that they are grown along swamps and long kang (drain). Nonetheless, I enjoyed it. There was also durian puff but this is not the same as Singapore's. It's very delicious too! I had 2 bowl of rice. After dinner, we headed back to the hotel while mum and dad went to visit Auntie Jacky as she is sick with cancer. I watched Stardust (watched it on the 19th with Xiang Hao) again with my nephew, Yuan Shun.

Left is Nelly and right is Sylvia. Sylvia is a hairstylist!

26th December: We got up very early for breakfast! Breakfast was yummy! Most of them had cereals and rice/ noodles. I'm quite westernized so I had eggs, milk, sausages, beef, tomatoes, bread, etc. HAHA! I had a very filling breakfast.

Then, we proceeded to visit the Long House with Auntie Winnie, Nelly and Janice. Chickens are on the loose! They are allowed to roam freely and I bet the meat is very juicy! However, the hygiene there was terrible. Houseflies are all over. I can see blood (I believes it's chicken's blood) on the wooden floor. There are intestines, liver, etc although I'm not sure they belong to what animals. I believe it's pork but malays don't take pork. So I'm not sure.

I realized all the bus rides are super long! I keep napping during the rides. Okay. Back to the topic, we went to 3 Long Houses and we have a friend staying there. She entertained us and gave us snack to munch on. I love this particular food. It's actually coconut rice in a pitcher plant. Now wait, don't be disgusted. It's really very nice. It reminds me of 'ba zhang' (rice dumpling) as it is abit sticky. We also had rice wine but it felt more like sprite with alcohol to me. We then went to a 'Sunday market' when it was actually a Saturday. I also don't know why they called it Sunday market. I bought a straw bag, handmade bracelet and necklace from there.

27th December: I couldn't get up early today so I had to skip breakfast. I was still feeling very tired and kept falling asleep. Hehe.. We went to a place where the Ibans and tribe people lived. It was a sight to behold. Very different from the city life. There were lots of mosquitoes. There was this 'Head House' where it oversees the whole village. There were some human skeleton heads hanging in there. The tour guide said that those were heads of the enemies. When they were killed and skinned, they were hung above a fire. It is believed that the fire keeps the souls of the enemies warm, turning the evil spirits into good spirit so that they can protect the villagers from harm.

I went to blow the blowpipe. Damn, I nearly hit the target (pepsi can). =/ We watched the cultural dance by the people in a small theatre. It was pretty alright. Joshua bought this unique instrument which is like a guitar.

We went to a beach to sightsee. The weather was quite cloudy so it was the best weather to go to a beach. After spending 15 mins there, we went ahead to our next destination. LUNCH!!! Auntie Winnie, auntie Lisa, Nelly, Adrian and Adeline were with us on this day. We, children, order alot of good food which includes midin, lobster, red talipia, deer meat and many more! I had 2 bowls of rice again! We had some free time and went to walk around.

We had dinner at a stall nearby the hotel. It was tasty at all. Then we met Nelly and the kids went to catch Avatar at a shopping mall called Riverside Majesty. I was watching it for the 2nd time! I just love love love this show! We headed home after the movies and headed straight for bed while Yuan Shun came to my room to watch Batman: The Dark Knight.

28th December: I managed to have a filling breakfast! Hehehe.. We went to visit museums and we all find it boring. All of us just want to shop. LOL! Jonathan drove us around and I went to buy some handmade braclet for 3 of my friends, Zhen Xiang, Alex and Kayvern. I should have bought more so that I can give to Xiang Hao and Marcus and a few more. But at that time, I only thought of these 3 guys. Wakaka..

Sis and I sat in Janice's car with Nelly. By the way, Janice, Nelly and Adrian are siblings. Janice drove us to a coffee shop where it sell excellent 'gou lou mee' (pork mee). Sis and I had 1 and a half bowl each. I had guava juice while she had some juice. I forgot the fruit name. Then, we went to check out and went back to the airport. We all exchanged emails and I hope we will all keep in touch. We left at 4.30 pm and Singapore, here I come! At last, home sweet home although I don't mind staying longer in Sarawak.

After I got home, I met Zhen Xiang for dinner. He wanted to see me. So we met and had dinner, ice cream and watch 'Hi My Sweetheart' at my place. I will blog my happenings on 29th December tomorrow. I'm very tired now and I confirm will K.O. once I lie on my bed. Selamat malam people!

Starts Well, End Bad

2009-12-23T02:52:00.005+08:00

Hi peeps! I managed to meet Alex Tan, my PEZ fling, on Sunday late night! We went to back to his place and watched Skeleton Key. I ton over and we talked the whole night. Till 6 am! And of course, I gave him all my Pez sweets. I had to top them up today. Haha.. He sent me home in his dad's Aston Martin. It was a very rare ride for me but it was an experience. He was tired and so was I as we didn't have enough sleep that night.

Monday was alright for me. I had work at night and Andrew, the bartender I got to know at Duxom Blue, stood me up. It was the 2nd time someone stood me up in a week. *PISSED* I didn't want to call Kayvern because it feels like I'm treating him as a driver. So, I decided to meet Brett after work for pool with his JC friends. We left quit late and dad called and complained. Then Brett accompany me for supper and walked me home. We had a long chat.. Everything was fine.

I was tired today and skipped the 1st half of the class. Then, I met Alex for lunch and he drove his mum's BMW 6 series. It was a very smooth journey! We went somehere near my school for lunch (Xin Wang HK Cafe) and he sent me to school. He tried to drive like Alex Chong and I was so scared! He's bad lah.. Purposely make me scared and he still find it amusing! -.- Alex said that I am too trusting and told me to read a book titled 'Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man'. It's a book on love, relationships, how man behave and operate and many more. It's pretty interesting and I'm addicted to it! I think I can only return it to him when he's back from his next holiday..

Well well.. After macroecons class today, I went to meet Ming Teck to sign up for monthly donation for Cancer patients. Then I met Zhen Xiang for dinner. We actually went to get my new handphone, Sony Ericsson W995, $248 after $100 voucher. We waited quite long but I was really very happy and excited about getting a new phone! Hehe.. We had Subway for dinner! Then, we went to search for my screen protector and price for my old faulty phone. After that, I went to shop at NTUC and bought some stuff plus my favourite Ben & Jerry's Chubby Hubby! There was a promotion and I got a B&J Cake Batter for free. Yay! Zhen Xiang helped me carry my stuff to dad's car and he went home after that.

Then, the terrible part came. My parents and I had a fucking long talk. They want me to quit my job and study harder. I shall skipped the details. My day ended bad today. I'm turning in now. It's pretty late already. Freaking shit. ARGH!

P.S. Brett just reminded me happiness is a state of mind. =D Thanks dear.

Song Of The Day

2009-12-19T13:57:00.004+08:00

Here is the song of the day and it is Knock You Down by Keri Hilson featuring Kanye West and Ne-Yo.

Keri Hilson:
Eh ..not again
Oh, this ain't supposed to happen to me

Kanye West:
Keep rockin', and keep knockin'
Whether you Louie Vouitonnin' up or Reebok'in
You see the hate, that they're servin on a platter
So what we goin' have
Desert or disaster?

Keri Hilson:
I never thought I'd be in love like this
When I look at you my mind goes on a trip
And you came in and knocked me on my face
Feels like in I'm a race
But I already won first place
I never thought I'd.. fall for you as hard as I did
(as hard as I did, yeah)
You got me thinkin' about our life, our house and kids
Every mornin' I look at you and smile
Boy you came around
And you knocked me down
(knocked me down)

Chorus : Keri Hilson
Sometimes love comes around
And it knocks you down
Just get back up
When it knocks you down
(knocks you down)
Sometimes love comes around
And it knocks you down
Just get back up
When it knocks you down
(knocks you down)

Ne-Yo:
I never thought I'd hear myself say
Ya'll gon hate
I think I'm gonna kick it with my girl today
(kick it with my girl today)
I used to be Commander in Chief
of my pimp ship flyin high (flyin high)
Til I met this pretty little missile
that shot me out the sky
(oh shot me out the sky)
Hey!
Til I'ma crash it, I don't know how it happened
But I know it feels so damn good
Said if I could back, and make it happen faster
Don't you know I would baby if I could
Miss independent
oh, to the fullest
No, never too much
She helpin' me pull it
She shot the bullet that ended that life
Steady pimpin me just after tonight girl

Chorus : Keri Hilson and Ne-Yo
Sometimes love comes around (love comes around)
And it knocks you down
Just get back up when it knocks you down
(knocks you down)
Sometimes love comes around
(love comes around)
And it knocks you down
Just get back up when it knocks you down
(knocks you down)

Kanye West:
Tell me now can you make it past your caspers
So we can finally fly off into NASA?
You was always the cheerleader of my dreams to
Seem to only date the head of football teams
And I was the class clown that
Always kept you laughin'
We, were never meant to be baby we just happened
So please, don't mess up the trick
Hey young world I'm the new Slick Rick
They say I move too quick
But we cannot let this moment pass us
Let the hourglass pass right into ashes
Let the wind blow the ash right before my glasses
So I wrote this love letter right before my classes
I coulda got his ass, someone that's only average
For advice OMG you listen to that bitch?
Woe is me baby this is tragic
Cause we had it, we was magic
I was flyin, now I'm crashin
This is bad, real bad, Michael Jackson
Now I'm mad, real mad, Joe Jackson
You should leave your boyfriend now
I'ma ask him

Keri Hilson:
Say you gotta put the good with the bad
happy and the sad
That way you bring a better future than I had in the past
Oh cause, I don't wanna make the same mistakes I did
I don't wanna fall back on my face again
(Whoaaa whooaaa)
I'll admit it, I was scared to answer loves call
(Whoaaa whooaaa)
And if it hits, better make it worth the fall

Chorus Keri Hilson and Ne-Yo:
Sometimes love comes around
(love comes around)
And it knocks you down
Just get back up
When it knocks you down
(knocks you down)
Sometimes love comes around
(love comes around)
And it knocks you down
Just get back up
When it knocks you down (knocks you down)

Keri Hilson:
Won't see it coming when it happens
But when it happens
You're gonna feel it, let me tell you now
You'll see when love comes and knocks you down
Won't see it coming when it happens
But when it happens you're gonna feel it, let me tell you now
When love comes and knocks you down

I had corporate finance lesson in the morning and boy, it was tiring as I had very little sleep last night. Mum fetched me home and dropped Zhen Xiang at Bishan MRT station. We had a game and the host left. There have been many noobs and leavers lately. Lol.. Then I had lunch and an afternoon nap as usual. I was so tired that I didn't want to get up but I had to! Then, mum helped me out with the washing of my rabbit cages. I appreciated it. Thanks mum!

I met Xiang Hao for dinner and we just watched Avatar in 3D at West Mall in Bukit Batok! It's an excellent movie and I would definitely recommend this show to everyone. I can say it was one of the best movies I've ever watched. I had a pleasant evening and am now ready for bed. I ton over at Xiang Hao's place. He's really decent but he's always mean to me! Ben didn't fly back to England today as he had gastric flu. Poor Ben. Take care alright? You will have a speedy recovery!

Networking

2009-12-19T03:00:00.002+08:00

I know I'm late for this post.. Just wanted to update about Wednesday. I was working 1st time at a chinese KTV pub at Duxon Blue and later proceed to Bonkers. Overall, I still prefer restaurants as 'uncles' in such pubs can be quite touchy. However, working in a pub has it's advantages. I managed to network a little and got to know 3 guys that night. One was a customer from England and his name is Ben. Nice and humourous guy. He was with a friend from Germany and his name is Julian. I also got to know the bartender at Duxon Blue. Very baby face guy. He reminds me of Alfred. Haha.. That night, Samantha was my partner and she can really push the sales well. I was quite lost as chinese KTV pub is not my cup of tea and some customers tend to be touchy. Plus, I don't know how to play dice. Samantha thought me how.. Well, I learn something new.

I was at Seafood International on Thursday. Alex stood me up with acceptable excuse though, I had a very strong feeling that he won't turn up that evening. I just don't know why women's intuition can be very strong at times. I really hope to see him before he fly off again. Mr Kheng called me and asked if I would like to go back to Pertapis Women's Home to teach. Of course I agreed. But I do hope Pertapis will deliver my pay cheque promptly. They're always very late in paying my salary. =( I told mum and dad about my job. They weren't too happy. And oh, exam dates are out! So scary. I got to plan my time well already. Next year will be a bustling year for me.

As for today, it has been a normal average day for me. Ben is flying back to England tomorrow and will probably be back during early Janurary. Have a safe journey home, Ben. Don't worry about the snow. It'll be alright. =)

Oh my goodness. It's almost 3 a.m. and I have got classes in the early morning. I'm off to bed now. Good night world. Hello lalaland.

Who I Am

2009-12-16T16:59:00.002+08:00

I'm a fan of David Choi's music and I happened to stumble upon his new music video. He's quite a talented person and this was the song title: Who I Am. It's a very nice and meaningful song. Here are the lyrics:

I want someone to love me
For who I am
I want someone to need me
Is that so bad
I wanna break all the madness
But it's all I have
I want someone to love me
For who I am

Nothing makes sense nothing makes sense anymore
Nothing is right nothing is right when you're gone
Loosing my breath loosing my right to be wrong
I'm frightened to death
I'm frightened that I won't be strong
I want someone to love me

For who I am
I want someone to need me
Is that so bad
Im looking past all the madness
But that's all I have
But I want someone to love me
For who I am

I'm shaking it off I'm shaking off all of the pain
You're breaking my heart you're breaking my heart once again

I want someone to love me
For who I am
I want someone to need me
Is that so bad
I'm looking past all the madness
But that's all I have
But I want someone to love me
For who I am

Wonderful song isn't it? =)

Today has been rather a slow and rainy day for me. I have got work tonight at Tanjong Pagar from 8 pm to 12 am. I'm really excited as tonight will be a new location for me. Hehe.. One more hour to go can I can get ready to prepare for work. I've been pretty early for work these days. Probably because I want to kick that bad habit of mine. But I'm still late for school. I have to make significant improvement man..

I told mum I'll be late back home again and she started probing and started her long and irritating speech. She still doesn't trust me of what I am doing and who I am mixing with. When I'm off to work, I would say I'm out with friends. But actually, I am just working. And of course, I know how to protect myself. I definitely won't let anyone take advantage of me.

During lunch today (mum took off and cooked macoroni), mum told me about Jun (my sister, Melanie, family calls her Jun). Mum said sis wants to go to Australia to study for degree. Of course we support her! But mum used the wrong approach. Again. And sis was pissed off. Mum always start with: "Why want to resign? Then school fee how? Why this, why that?? Money this, money that." We know everything needs money but sometimes, they should ask properly, sit down and discuss our plans. Not everytime start doubting us and putting us down.

Then sis said: "You all don't understand me. Only Gloria understands me." All these are what mum told to me and Jo (my brother, Joel). When we heard, we were like.. "Eh? If you don't tell us your problems, how can we help..?" One thing about my sis, she confides in friends but not in her family. She is the exact opposite of Jo and I. Not that Jo and I will tell everything to our parents but at least we got each other. Jun still doesn't understand that as we get older, although we might have our own family in future, siblings are still very important. We may like to compare and argue, but still, blood is thicker than water. Jun is getting better (as in bonding is closer now and starting to learn to share) until Gloria came back from Australia.

All along, I don't really really have a good impression about my sis's best friend. Maybe I have some misunderstandings about the influence she is giving to my sister. But if bro feels the same way too.. Then, there is a problem. I had told sis about getting too close to Gloria before but she says I have no right to comment about her best friend. Well sister, I care for you. I know your friends are very very important to you but as bystanders, we see more clearly and knows what is best for you. Enough said. The rest is up to her to decide. Jun said she got me a GUESS watch for christmas present. I don't know what to give her man.. Bags she have so many, watches also. Tops also have alot. Make up she doesn't use. Maybe get her a nice necklace or bracelet.. I am going so broke man.. Got to choing work and studies! I got to go and prepare for work soon. *smiles*

Happiness Is A State Of Mind

2009-12-15T19:47:00.011+08:00

I'm at chapter 2 of Love Happens now and Dr Burke Ryan (Aaron Eckhart) said this: "Happiness is a state of mind and it takes practice. Spend 5 mins a day smiling. Just smiling. And it will come to you naturally." I find it quite true. Year 2009 was a pretty rough year for most of us, or at least, for me. I've been through 2 heartbreaks but have gotten over it. Life still have to move on. I'm no longer in Accounting and Finance but am now in Mathematics and Economics. I know I'll somehow score better in this. >.<

I'm still in contact with Alex Tan. He's back from Switzerland for a shot period. We're going to have a catching up this coming Thursday. We crapped alot these days and decided to be PEZ flings! Haha.. Of course we were just talking nonsense and having fun. Through MSN.

I don't really have a stable tutoring job now as it's December and most parents would like to give their children a break. Or rather, save some money. Lol.. So currently, I've landed up as a brand ambassador (BA) a.k.a. 'high class' beer girl. I'm more to the diners side so I'll be mainly in restaurants, pubs or roving around. The company, Asia Pacific Breweries, had a PA (promoter something) dinner last night and we were invited along. The night was pretty slow for me. Luckily I had Zhen Xiang to accompany me. He is someone I met through DOTA and now become school mates c.u.m. friends.

Last night's dinner was held as Orchard Hotel. The uncles there (mainly managers) were trying to get us drunk. I'm not that dumb and barely drank half a glass of beer. Hehe.. I'd managed to socialize quite a bit and got to know some people. Ever since becoming a BA, I'm learning how to smile more and wearing heels much more often now without hurting my sole! I think smiling should come from within. I am happy when customers are polite to me and when they smile back at me. It's a wonderful feeling. Hence, I shall never stop smiling even when I'm sad. Remember, happiness is a state of mind. Another quote: "Emotions are not made by the thoughts and feelings of the people surrounding you. They are made up of your thinking." It went something like that. I couldn't recall the exact words and where I got them from. But you guys should know what I'm trying to get at right?

While at dinner, I was trying to get my PEZ fling but his handphone battery went flat! I wanted to catch Skeleton Key with him and he only managed to get back at about 1+am. He kept blaming his stupid phone! Haha.. Dad and sis came to fetch me home. Oh, I forgot to mention that I won an electric slow cooker and abit of cash. =DD

I can't wait for Christmas to come. My whole family will be going to Kuching, Sarawak, except for my brother. I can comfirm he sure bring Rebecca home lah.. That boy.. Kns one.. Haha.. But I trust him that he won't do anything funny lah.. Plus, I'll be toning at Xiang Hao (my very arh=good friend) place on Saturday. We're planning to catch Avatar and then have an early night. His mum will be cooking on Sunday! Yummy food! By the way, he just passed his motor TP! Congrats! He promised to get me a helmet when I'm learn bike. Yay!

And Kayvern, someone who has been sitting on my MSN list for the past few years, started to keep in touch with me. He's going to be my santa for this year but I have not much idea on what I'll be getting. Yay.. He's such a sweetheart. Made me some herbal tea so that I'll recover faster from my sore throat.

Well, the weather has been bad lately. Must be from all that carbon prints and greenhouse effect. And I am so hooked to online shopping! But I'm having some self-control now! Haha.. I shall stop blogging now. 22 and already becoming like an old woman. XD

P.S. I couldn't find my old bright blue for font coz they had changed the new editor. Thus, I'm using this romantic purple. =P

FML

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

Sometimes, I don't know what I want in life. Can God save me? Can anyone help me? At the age of 22, I am still feeling like a lost sheep. I want to change my lifestyle and behave like a normal and proper lady.

Rainbows!

2009-03-03T11:44:00.009+08:00

I had saw rainbow over the past one week. It was a beautiful and gorgeous sight! For those who did not manage to see the rainbow, here are some photos of them. I took it from outside my window. I felt very happy when i see the rainbow yesterday. I felt immerse happiness from within, a feeling I haven't felt for a long long time. Well, the rainbow lasted for 25 mins. The one I saw on 25 feb was a double rainbow. They were side by side but one was fainter than the other. It was still a rare a beautiful sight to behold. The rainbows lasted for 16 mins.

Happy Chinese New Year!

2009-01-17T13:12:00.007+08:00

Hello to all! It's 2009 now! How fast time flies.. 2008 was not a really very good year for me as I was neglecting my studies, skipping lectures, etc. Plus grandma passed away on 17 Aug which was my 1st driving practical test. And needless to say, I failed during the first attempt. My relationship with my baby Joven ended on 12 December (not long after his birthday 9 December). No one was really at fault or whatsoever. Just that my priorities change and he felt neglected. I feel that I don't really make a good girlfriend. Haiz.. My brother Joel also broke up with his girlfriend, Rebecca. Just a week before me. He say he couldn't commit long term with her. Oh well, Joven and I are still friends. Sit together during lectures and still talking. That goes the same for my brother. I just donated blood with Joven in school on the 14th. It was my 3rd time and Jov's 1st time. I always feel weak after donating blood. Haha..

Have been really clubbing hard too. And I made a promise that I will study hard for this year's exams because I am not confident at all. Haha.. My bro has entered army already.. On 9 January. I hope his skin condition will get better as it worsen on the first day in camp. He calls back almost everyday to update me and I also update him on what's going on currently. We always have fun catching up and bitching! Hehe..

Lately have been meeting online friends. Most are looking for sex or flings which I am so damn not interested in. But I have also met a few very nice guys like Xiang Hao, Li Zhi and Casper! I also got to know this rich guy (at least to me) called Alex. My friends ask me go for it just because he's rich. But why should I go after someone for money. I am not that desperate yet. I think most girls now usually go for looks or money or both. But I feel the heart and character still matters. Sounds 'lao tu' but it's essential for a lovely relationship. Anyway, I don't intend to get attached for another year or two. Need a break to find out what I really want. Or rather still enjoying single life. LOL.. Selina had been looking occupied lately. I'll ask her what's wrong the next time I see her again. She say Alex is not a nice guy coz he drives to recklessly and is always scolding vulgarities! Lol!

Oh, Joel is booking out on 24 January for reunion dinner. He ask me go clubbing after that. Haha.. Melanie doesn't want to join us. She always so anti one.. Zzz.. Oh, Ruby might be pregnant again. Finally. =) These are her 4 kids from the first litter.

Newborns!

2008-10-11T22:06:00.002+08:00

Ruby just gave birth to 4 babies! I am so excited! Hehe.. That's considered many for a ND as well as a 1st time mother. Well, we went to double o yesterday to celebrate Patrick's birthday. It's my 1st time there and the songs are not to my liking. Double o also closes quite early (3am). I still prefer Attica.. Selina, Suyin and Norliyah are also my favourite girls to hang out with. Here are some pictures of the newborns, clubbing, my darling and of course, not missing out the birthday boy!

Japan!!!

2008-08-05T14:47:00.002+08:00

It has been a while since I came home from Japan. I went on the 15th July (my brother's birthday) and came home on the 22nd July. It's a very lovely place and the things there are so beautiful! Very hard to resist! Sad to say most of the things are expensive and my mum and I did not bring enough cash along. The local brand like shiseido, kose, canmake, Gatsby are super cheap though. I will definitely bring more money I next time I go to Japan. My mum also wants to go back there! So fun! And next time will be free and easy.

I went to Disney Sea instead of Disneyland though. But I didn't regret. My mum, her colleague and I spent the whole day there! We queued nearly 2 hours for rides and took fast pass for some rides. I was sun burnt by the end of the day as the weather there was hotter than Singapore. We also went to Mt Fuji and I managed to see the mountain! I must be lucky. But Mt Fuji didn't have any snow then. So it was grass and clear. The rest of the days are sightseeing and visiting temples. Shopping only around 2 days.
When I came home to Singapore and collected my 2 rabbits, whom I left at House of Chinchilla for boarding, I had a pleasant surprise. Ruby was changing fur and colour She was initially snow white and now, she's becoming a Himalayan. What a beautiful girl! Chacko still seems to be moody. Haha.. That boy very temperamental. Well, my interest in cats have been active lately. I might be keeping a cat when I move back home. Preferably a Russian Blue, ginger or grey colour cat. Here's a picture of Chacko and Ruby.

Chubby Hubby

2008-06-30T15:09:00.003+08:00

My darling has been back for 1 week and 3 days. He had gained weight while overseas. I guess the food in Taiwan is really good. I hope to go there someday since I love to travel and eat. I guess I have fed him well. *laughs* Jov also feed me well enough to gain weight. Wahaha.. 15 more days to go before I'm flying to Japan. So excited man.. A whole new culture for me to experienced. Joven said he'll try to quit smoking. I know it's really really not easy but at least he's trying. So is Danniel. Haiz.. Right now, I'm trying to bring Dan back to God. Jov still doesn't want to attend church so I won't force him. I will continue to pray for him.

Hmm, I'm still hanging out with Danniel occasionally and many things have happen. I hope God has a plan for us so that all would turn out well. I'm going to meet my ex-classmate, Mateen, later. He'll be riding me around for today. Then have dinner. Hehe.. I'm so excited. I haven't sat a bike for years and this is my second time. My 2nd facial appointment will be on Wednesday and I will be bringing my sister to Bella skin for her 1st facial. It's my treat. My mum will be next. Haha.. Thursday will be having dinner with Celine, my new cell leader and on Friday, I will be having my driving lesson. So far I have learn vertical and parallel parking. And I have to help my dad out at his clinic on Saturday. He said he wants to pass me down some skills. Thus I am booked for this whole week except Tuesday. Whew.. Every Saturday is boyfriend day and Sunday is church day! Hehe.. Okay, I'm signing out soon because I need to take a rest. Tired from looking at the computer. Zzz..

Mediacorp

2008-06-10T17:11:00.003+08:00

Hi hi.. I've been busy working lately hence didn't have the time to blog. My job as a magazine promoter started on 1st June to 7th June. It was pretty tough as competition was tight. Not only with other distributors but also within my colleagues. But it was an enjoyable experience overall. Well, ever since I had started work, I had meet up with some long lost friends- Samuel and Danniel. Dan and I had some catching up together. He fetches me home almost everyday and I am grateful. My baby will be flying off to Taiwan and Hong Kong tomorrow at 6am for 10 days. I will definitely miss him badly. This is Danniel.

Well, currently I am working in Mediacorp and today is my 2nd day. 1st day was quite slack so I spent the whole day changing my blog skin and editing it. I continued doing the same thing today though there was a little work to do. Finally, my blog was up to my expection. I didn't know editing it will take such a long time. But I am happy with what I had achieved. I hope you people will like my new blog. Even though I downloaded the skin, I did alot of alterations. Hehe.. Okay, it is time for me to knock off now. Will edit and update soon. I think my new job is fun. These are my colleagues..

Jobs and more jobs!

2008-05-29T00:35:00.002+08:00

I had collected Ruby on the last day of my paper. I couldn't wait and I didn't have the time so I had decided to collect her one day earlier. I will definitely upload her picture soon. She's still a little scared and I'm still trying to tame her down.

Hmm.. my bf and I had a heart to heart talk. I will try to accept him smoking but I hope he will control himself. I understand that it isn't easy but if he have the will power, that shouldn't be a problem. Well, I am quite happy today. I went for 2 interviews and I got accepted for both. So I decided to take the Mediacorp job. I'm like a telemarketer, calling people and asking them for advertisement and survey. The pay is quite good for me. And oh, I had my bush pruned at Strip Co-ed at Cathy today. It was my first Brazilian wax! I selected a white chocolate wax. It hurts like anything and it's still quite sore now. I am still not used to my 'new' look. Hahaha.. However, I might go there again if I have the money. Lol.. Got to prepare for my birthday party tomorrow. Had a long day.. Sleepy now.. Zzz..

Lobster Dinner!

2008-05-20T23:41:00.002+08:00

I found out that Pets Kiosk is actually Pets Saloon. Lol.. I went to visit Ruby last Saturday and she seems to be doing fine. She's now the same size as Chacko but she's only half the age of him!

Well, I have one more paper to go. POA was a super killer! I couldn't handle but with God's grace, I hope I can pass. We were supposed to study today but end up lazing the day off. So, I am going to wake up early tomorrow and meet Patrick and Jamica at 8.45am. Pat will be driving her to Temasek Poly so might as well pick me too. Then Joven dar will join us later. He's going to lose weight soon.. Getting fatter and cuter. Haha.. He hor.. put on weight since I've met him. But it's okay because I love him for who he is.We went to his aunt's place today for dinner. It was great! We had lobster soup with some rice and fishcake and meatball in it. So yummy! I hope I can cook great next time. I love food! But I know I must watch what I eat.. I had a good day overall. Except for my usual menstrual cramp.

Here Comes Ruby!

2008-05-12T20:46:00.002+08:00

Alright, attention to all. I will NEVER buy any rabbits from Pets Kiosk anymore. The vet told me that Cherry caught the parasites from the batch she was with. But this time, Pets Kiosk couldn't refund me the money. Damn! I should have not taken her.. But it's alright.. At least I'm more aware about rabbit diseases and how to take proper care of them. Their food are alright. Just that their rabbits doesn't like healthy because Pepper also passed on. I called back and check if she was recovering but they told me she konk liao.. Heard that they don't treat the sick rabbits because the selling price cannot cover the treatment cost. Such cruelty shouldn't be tolerated. Afterall, animals can still feel pain and suffer. Poor rabbits.. Moreover, their rabbits are imported and by right, they should have a certificate or serial number but Pets Kiosk did not offer any.

Well, I've paid a deposit for a siamese albino and her name is Ruby. Her name is Ruby because of her red eyes. I got her from Mrs Tay. She's born on 3th April 2008. 2 months and 2 days after Chacko. She's quite a pretty and active little girl. I will definitely upload her pic soon when I get her.. Hehe.. I'll be collecting her on the 24th of May, one day after my last paper. I can't wait to bring her home.

Chacko is getting worse now. He even bites me! He had been like this ever since I came back from Mrs Tay's house last Saturday. That boy is so so naughty. Grr.. I've bought some wood (6 for $5.40) today for Chacko to chew on but he doesn't seems to be very comfortable with his new toy. Lol.. Guess he'll get used to it soon. His character follows his father, Xiao Hei. Chacko kept licking Ruby and gets chummy with her when I dropped at Mrs Tay's house. So maybe, he misses Ruby hence the mood swing. And just about that time, Mrs Tay's grey rabbit gave birth to 2 little babies. They're a lionhead and dwarf mixed. I hope my Ruby is a pure dwarf because her ears are quite long. I'm not very sure because I got her from Mrs Tay's friend. So I'm afraid that her heritary line might not be all pure. I've seen her sibling though and she has short ears, unlike Ruby. Oh well, time will show. I can't wait to breed them and see the little babies.

I've also bought a brush ($13.85) to comb his fur and indeed, his coat does look shiner and smoother. But he seems to be a little in pain when I brush him. Got to trim his nails soon as they are getting longer. Oh, Chacko had been looking really tired for the past 2 days. I wonder what's wrong.. He fell asleep when I put him on my lap there. This is quite rare as he is also up and alert. Hope he looks okay by tomorrow.. He's sleeping like a baby right..? So cute..

Poor baby..

2008-05-04T20:38:00.002+08:00

Sad news.. Cherry passed on this morning. I brought her to the vet yesterday and found out that she had parasites in her intestine. I gave her the medicine as prescribed and now.. There, now she's gone. Just like that. So I have come to realise that the Lord may takes us any time. So be prepared and be fearful of Him. Well, I've contacted Mrs Tay, the lady who sold me Chacko. I intend to get a female rabbit from her in 2 months time. Guess I'll name her Cherry also.. Lol..

Exams are coming and the first paper will be on this thursday. Sian.. I had a sumptuous dinner with my boyfriend's, Joven's, family. It was a very filling meal. Okay, I'm going for a bathe liao.. Lately keep bathing in cold water because of the hot and humid weather. So refreshing!

Square Root 3

2008-05-03T15:26:00.002+08:00

I'm sure that I will always be
A lonely number like root three
The three is all that's good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath the vicious square root sign,
I wish instead I were a nine

For nine could thwart this evil trick,
with just some quick arithmetic

I know I'll never see the sun, as 1.7321
Such is my reality, a sad irrationality
When hark! What is this I see,
Another square root of a three

As quietly co-waltzing by,
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integer
We break free from our mortal bonds
With the wave of magic wands
Our square root signs become unglued
Your love for me has been renewed

My 2nd rabbit..

2008-04-30T23:08:00.002+08:00

I went back to the pet shop on Saturday and I couldn't collect Pepper because she was having flu. I felt sad when I saw her as she had mucus all over her nose and she was breathing so hard. I had no choice but to pick another rabbit.
I chose a black one with a patch of white on her head. I names her Cherry. And guess what.. She had diahorrea 2 days later! I fed her some medicine for diahorrea but she didn't look like she's recovering. She didn't eat much and didn't poo for the next 2 days. So I brought her to a vet today and she was given a stronger medicine. I hope she recovers well.

Oh, Chacko is now house trained. He runs inside the house once I open his cage and will poo everywhere he goes. (He's placed outside my house) So naughty! But he will run back to his cage when I chase behind him. So cute right? This Chacko make me angry and happy at the same time. Lol.. Now, he's biting me more than he licks me. Guess he's getting more rebellious now. But it's also one of his ways of telling me that he needs to pee. Because he pees right after I put him in his toilet. Haha..

Exams are coming real soon and I'm not so prepared yet. Still studying and trying to fix the missing pieces.. I am feeling a little un-loved by my boyfriend lately. I don't know why I feel irritated at some things he said. Like 'that girl chio or not?'.. I told him no girlfriends will like if their man asked too frequently. I know he's just playing along with his buddies when they see char bo but it gets on my nerves. Perhaps it's the exam stress and Cherry's illness. Looks like I got her at the wrong time. I hope everything will get better soon.

P.S. You can look for Raymond at Pets Kiosk or Mickey at House of Chinchillas. They offer great services!

My New Rabbit!

2008-04-23T12:42:00.002+08:00

I got a dwarf rabbit on 19 March, born on 1st Feburary 2008! He's called Chacko. He used to be very black (left side) but now his colour is changing. Well, the very next day, I went to Pets Kiosk at Serangoon North Ave 1 and bought a female! She's called Bambi (below). And she had diahorrea the very next day! 3 weeks later, I went back and was told that both rabbits are males! Lol!

Luckily, the boss allowed me to switch. But this new batch of rabbits are only 3 weeks old. I'm afraid that I couldn't handle so the boss, Raymond told me told get it this Saturday.
She's only half the size of Chacko! She's born on 1st April and I intend to call her Pepper. Well, Chacko isn't growing that much. He's still about the same size when I got him. (You can compare these 2 pics with the 1st one) I hope they'll be able to get along and i can breed them after my exams. Hard work pays off. I hope they won't konk out so soon. Currently, I'm still pretty inexperienced.

Imperfection

2007-04-27T19:14:00.007+08:00

Dear God,
Why did you make humans imperfect? Is it through imperfection that they sought perfection? Or is it imperfection that binds God and man together? Why do people have to taste disappointment and despair? Some things that tumble your perfect world.. Then, is happiness everlasting or just a momentary feeling? Is there really true happiness in this ugly world? How about love and romance? Is it your arrangement or simply fate, Father? I thought I had them all but no.. Can people really control their destiny? If no, why not? And then, why is the human mind so complex? Can they ever fully comprehend? Why Lord, why? Can I ever understand myself, not to say my love ones? After so many sins that I had committed, is there still any chance that I will see you in heaven? Why is it possible for Jesus to suffer intolerable pain while I can't even take much..? There are so many things that I have to learn and stall in my memory and knowledge. Can I still be the innocent, naive child I once was?
