whoopee!

manager agreed to let me take half day off on sat (which was supposed to be my last day). thus now friday is officially my last day of work! hehe. plus! i’m blogging on my new notebook! hahaa. happy. oh. and i took like 15mins to figure out how to switch on the bloody wifi! lol! turns out it’s a small icon on my notebook i can tap on! i was looking for a button or switch. no wonder i couldn’t find it! hahaha.

dad hasn’t collected the windows 7 disc yet from bendemeer. thus i haven’t started installing everything yet. now just using the windows vista business version which was preinstalled. hope to get this notebook fully prepared by next wed at the latest.

went to watch The Spy Next Door with JEMIMA and eugene just now. jemima is my new colleague! hehe. today’s her first day at work. =) hope everything goes well for her.

lol. yupyup she’s the jemima from tp iad! my coursemate! (:

1 or 2 out of 14

okay firstly, congrats to brother!

he passed his driving test on the first try (just like me and lene hahaha)! but he’s still super unstable though. dad let him drive for the very first time today. and i was super worried that he’d crashh. kept helping him to look out for cars. we were like ‘nooo!! sloww down sloww down!’ or ‘go laaa! accelerate!!’ or ‘left left leftt!!!!’ or ‘turn right! turn right!’ or ‘whoaaa!! keep to your own lane!’ or ‘ahhh!!! what are you doingg!!!’

lol. very bad. but at least he didnt crash. hope he won’t get into any accidents like i did. =/ lol.

k secondly, YAYYY DAD BOUGHT ME A NEW LAPTOP! the HP one that i wanted! ProBook 4310s. Intel Centrino 2, 2.8 GHz, 4GB DDR3 Ram, 500GB hard disk memory, ATI Radeon Graphics 512MB, free upgrade to windows 7!

the guy gave us a 100bucks discount, thus making the laptop $1899! (: came with a hp mouse, and some other miscellaneous stuff. have been scouting around for laptops, and this has the best specs with the best price! plus it’s pretty too. x) proves that pretty things aren’t all bimbos. i’m gona be busy installing and transfering stuffs into this laptop in the next two weeks.

very touched that dad bought me what i wanted. my previous laptop was still running fine… just that this new laptop’s specs is wayyy better. lol.

was actually considering to buy a car at tasmania without letting my family know.. cuz parents strongly object to letting me drive there (afraid i will crash and die there). cars are veryy affordable there that i can easily buy one without them finding out… but after dad bought me this laptop, i’m very happy and satisfied, and feel that i should be more obedient! hahaa. so shan’t do things my parents object to anymore. x)

saturday was a SUPER BUSY day for me! left home early in the morning  at 9am, got home only at 2am! went to the pre departure briefing for us singaporean students who’re going to study at the aussie uni at feb/march. it was held at the orchard hotel ballroom.

as far as i could see, the people there were all with their friends or family members. whereas i was alll by myself! tamade. felt a tinge of loneliness. lol. lazy parents didnt wana accompany me there. saw many unsw people! few utas ones. but there’s another briefing  for utas students on wed. suppose i’ll definitely see more utas students on wed. =) met some architecture seniors who’ve returned with their masters and graduated with honors. seriously aspire to be like them! lol. after the briefing i stayed back to chat with my archi seniors. asked them lotss of questions and got to know so much useful stuff.

from orchard i travelled all the way to changi airport! lol. met up with irene at about 2pm. accompanied her till she boarded her plane. chit chatting with her is always fun. =)

a few days back after work rene brought me to a special TCC at boat quay. the TCC there is designed in such a manner that it’s like an art gallery! paintings are hung on the wall for sale! really arty farty type of  drawings. seats there are bean bags. =)

after leaving changi airport, i went back to town! met my parents at cityhall area. unexpectedly ended up in funan the IT mall and that was where and when dad bought me the laptop. hahahaa. was supposed to meet the tp maties at around 6.30 to 7pm at newton. warned them not to be late. but was late myself =/ hahaha.

dinner at newton, then went to orchard where we had coffee, walked alot, and played alot of funny games. photos are with daidi. my camera’s batt wasn’t charged thus i didnt use it at all lol. anyway, really reallyyy enjoyed hanging out with them!! weng yuin and jinhe even bought me a gift! well two gifts actually. lol. chilli crab flavoured cup noodles, and a headphone! x) super practical. and so coincidentally i really need a new headphone! =)

my tp maties are so awesome! howw?? i’m really worried that i won’t be able to find any friends like them at utas. )= hope i’ll at least have like 2 really nice friends there.

my family and relatives are awesome too. relatives are organizing a farewell dinner for me! but they planned it without asking me la. =.= hahaa. they chose friday. however friday i’m supposed to be at sam’s dance concert at victoria concert hall! already bought the tickets. =/ gona give up the concert for dinner with relatives.. cuz aunt says my relatives aren’t free on other days.. ohwells. nvm. still appreciate their efforts. (: love my relatives!

out of two weeks or so, only 1 day is reallyyy awesome. other days are pretty mundane, which is why i have not been updating over the past days. =p lol.  those 1 or 2 awesome days are what makes life worth living! so far everything has been rather good. i’m satisfied with life at this very moment.

just sayin’

things you can do while pooping:

- listen to music

-play games (ipod touch, psp or whatever)

-read books

-stone

-eat

…and the latest thing i’ve tried,

-playing the guitar. =)

hahaha. shiokness. can play guitar while pooping. but of course you gotta have some common sense la, don’t allow the guitar to get wet (with waterr or any other liquids… lol). plus, if the air is highly saturated with moisture then don’t bring the guitar in. you won’t want the wood to start rotting anytime ya.

mom and dad are at cousin’s wedding dinner. me and my siblings aren’t invited. =/ loll. cuz it’s shangri-la i guess. too ex for them to invite us lil kids along. not very close to that cousin anywayy, haven’t seen her since back at our lower primary school days. in my mind when i try picturing her, all i see is a young girl. really not sure how she looks like now seriously. after finishing her studies at australia she went to work at hk for manyyy yearss.

younger siblings aren’t at home. just me and elder sis. we ordered pizza hut! hehe. yummy garlic bread, honey glazed chicken wings, and pepperoni pizza! (: *trying to brainwash my bitter self that pizza hut delivery is better than shangri-la’s food*

the pizza arrived piping hot just like how they promised it would be. (: and on time too (approx 30mins) ! very nice indeed!

played mahjong in the afternoon with elder sis and her friends after getting back from work. sucks man, every sat i have to work half a day. but days like these are coming to an end. =) 2 more weeks only.

anyway, i found a housemate!! hahhaa. (: her name is cindy lum and she’s a malaysian who has been in singapore for quite some time. got to know her through sockyee. she’ll be entering year 1, i’ll be entering year 2. there’s another potential housemate- another singaporean girl who’s gona enter year 4.

hmm. have been trying to figure out how to use archicad.  sigh. not going too well at the moment =// i’m a lil confused with the oh-so-many functions. not gonna give up thoughh! (: wish me luck.

Arthouse

still can’t find a long term accommodation. got really anxious, and decided to just book a temporary one while i search for the long term accommodation there. booked a hostel reallyyy near to the architecture campus. it’s called the arthouse! nice name. (: and the building looks kinda…interesting in a good way.

the ill-breds

my office is located at an industrial area where there are many of those seemingly not very educated workers doing heavy duty work. ever since i started working at my current company, i have to walk past a bunch of veryy annoying people every morning. they’d howl/whistle/make an assortment of noises at ladies who walk past.

have been tolerating them for the past 4 months or so. last evening i finally couldn’t suppress my anger anymore. yelled ‘SHUT UP LA’ at them (started doubting if they even understand simple english/singlish) and continued walking away while they continued making dumb retarded noises. this morning when i walked past them, once again the stupid noises started again. was super annoyed to the point i was already imagining what curses i’d like to place upon them. if i could, i’d make them howl/make stupid noises allll day and alll night without stopping at all till they die from exhaustion. this way, they’d be irritated by each other, plus they’d die in agony without me having to lay a single finger on them. (: brilliant.

anyway, since i couldn’t do that, i simply reported their disgusting behaviors to my manager and asked him to speak with their supervisor/boss. hope their boss would be able to take them in hand.

seriously, they are already grown adults, but why are they still so insensible? if you wana compliment a lady, just say nice things about them! simple as that. no need to go howling and wailing whenever she walks past. that’s utterly annoying beyond what words can describe. their parents should be very ashamed to have them as their kids. low lifers. if they are singaporeans, then i’d say they are an embarrassment to the country. perverts. i hope they’ll pass on to another world (probably hell) soon and stop harassing other girls. oh i forgot to mention, they harass all the other girls at my company too.

so glad i’m gona start uni soon. won’t ever have to see them ever again. SHEESH! good riddance. before i leave the company, i intend to give them a piece of my mind. just wait and see little faggots! people like them will never become anybody great, they will never improve, and will die without leaving a footprint on earth. on the other hand, i’m gona become a great architect and construct singapore’s next airport MUAHAHA (hopefully la). so i really think that they aren’t worth my time spent pondering upon anything related to them at all. just letting out all the vent up frustrations by writing this post. (: already feel much better.

took a half day leave today to go visit a chinese physician with mom and brother. it’s all the way at freaking sembawang! goodness gracious. that’s damn far. so far that mom doesn’t know how to drive there. thus we had to travel by the MRT (cuz there’s a mrt station called sembawang lol). went to fix my poor neck. after i sprained it a week or two ago, there has been a sharp pain whenever i turn my head all the way to the left. err, don’t think today’s session made much of a difference. it was simply a really painful massage. lol. for this sorta thing, i think you have to keep going at least once a week for months in a row before you can recover. since i don’t have that sorta time, i’ll just pray for miracle healing then! lol!

when we were on our way home, i had the sudden urge to go to sim lim square to get my laptop screen and external hard drive problems fixed. mom went with me. and YAY! super happy. got my laptop screen fixed for 170bucks. initially thought that it’d be more expensive than that! anddd. finally solved the problem of not being able to connect my harddrive with computers. (: turns out the new cable elder sister bought was the wrong one! wasted $. ohwells. and so i bought the right one today. (: happy. plusss, i went scouting for a good laptop to buy. and voila! i found one!

brand: HP
colour: dark red
size: 14 inch
price: $1999
specs: intel core 2 duo
2.8 GHz (it’s the fastest speed available so far!)
4GB RAM
500GB Hard disk memory
system: windows 7
etc: come with some freebies

damn good right?! (: tell me if there are any deals out there better than this! think dad might get it for me soon. hopefully la haha. 2yrs back i bought this current laptop for about the same price la. but everything pales in comparison, by far! so this feels like a damn good deal.

have been watching tutorials on youtube. trying to learn all those softwares i’m gona be using in uni (vectorworks, archicad, cinema4d, etc). am i hardworking or what?! (:

a sudden epiphany!

why did i take almost a whole day to realise this simple fact? i really do not need to get a mac just cuz UTas uses Mac coms, cuz all the following softwares,

For 2D/3D Drafting: Autocad, Archicad, VectorWorks, Sketchup, 3D Studio Max, Cinema 4D

For image editing: Photoshop, InDesign

freaking runs on Windows! and there i was, for almost a day, totally convinced that some of the softwares can’t run on Windows, thus justifying my desire to get a Mac. okay i admit, a hugee part of me wants to own a sleek pretty cool macbk pro. but now the rational part of me is showing up. (: for that same amount of money to get a macbk pro with standards good enough for me (about $2500), i can freaking get a PC with much better specs! i’ve been wondering how i’m gona manage without autocad and 3dsmax since they can only run on a mac if i bootcamp it (which seems very troublesome). then suddenly i realised that i can simply install alllll these programs into a PC instead of trying to find ways to fit them all into a Mac! hahaha. brilliant. okay. i’m gona try to get dad to get me a 8GB Ram PC with 500GB hard disk memory! x) now macbk pro offers just 4GB Ram. lol.

have been doing my research- reading forums and many other websites to compare which softwares produce better quality works/easier to use/significant in the industry. 3DsMax and Autocad are reallyyy important. thank you temasek poly for introducing them into our lifes! can’t do without them. but i’m still gona try and pick up the skills of using all the other softwares. this would increase my employability by a lot! hahaa. kiasu. but good la i think. hope this good kiasu spirit of mine keeps up throughout uni life.

trying to download the trial versions of archicad and cinema 4d now! it’s gona take like 3-4hrs more for the downloads to be complete. tamade. i wana go sleep already la.

oh and i’m happily downloading nice songs at the same time. (: how i wish all downloads only take a minute.

ahem!

i finally bought a new memory card for my cameraaaa~! (: started taking photos again. since i have the habit of constantly transfering photos into my com, i only bought a 4GB memory card. more than enough. bought it while i was at orchard with my minny ru on tuesday. hahaa.

it was reallyyy nice catching up with her. (: didnt bring my camera out that day though, neither did she- so no photos. lol. checked out mandarin gallery. ru showed me the comfyy seating areas there! cooolll. food and things there seem pretty interesting. i wana try wild wild honey and the famous jap restaurant (forgot the name, starts with an ‘I’ i think) there. sam and gj met up with us around 9plus pm. chilled at cine’s hk cafe. chitchatted. (: met Nina there! second time i’ve seen her outside since graduation. lol. don’t think i’ve met other poly friends so coincidentally! coool.

watched sherlock holmes on monday. it was coool. liked it. how things seemed so magical at the starting, then how holmes managed to solve all the mysteries and reveal that it was all science.

mom got mad that i was going out constantly. thus i went home after work on wed. x) be the good girl mom wants me to be lol. but i went out the next day. bahaha. watched The Treasure Hunter with eugene. storyline sucked…. =/ the movie was like a really bad imitation of america’s treasure hunter movies. but as i’ve said previously, the only reason why i’m willing to watch the movie, is just cuz of JAY. hahaha.

friday & sat i stayed home. what a good girl i am! x) sat was a very guitar day for me. yayyy i can now proudly announce that i can play jay’s songs on the guitar!

sunday was family day as usual. (: church in the morning. it was really quite heartening to see how some people’s faith in God is so strong! they trust in him no matter what happens. a man’s son (9yrs old ) had cancer. yet his faith in God was unwavered. some poeple might say stuff like ‘if God really exists why did He allow such things to happen’. now i believe that everything happens for a reason. maybe if i didn’t get into that horrible accident, up till this day i might be still driving recklessly and finally end up killing somebody on the road. loll. who knows man. anyway, that man’s son has been making good progress. hope he gets well real soon.

i’ve been praying that God would help me find an accommodation. haha. then one fine day, dad’s friend from church- Robert (who’s an architect), gave me the contact number of his colleague who just came back from UTas! her name is sockyee. she just got her degree in architecture end of last yr. (: coool. i seriously don’t know anybody else from UTas la. so i smsed her and asked her tons of stuff.

she told me that i can stay at temporary accommodations (like hotels/backpackers’ hostels) while looking for a place. and she said that she’ll pass me contact numbers of her friends who’re still there! x) then perhaps they can aid me with finding a suitable accommodation, getting a hp line etcetc? hahaa. yay. hope so.

through her i got to know that UTas uses Mac coms. the drafting/3D softwares they use are Vector Work, Archicad, Indesign, Cinema4d, Sketchup and Photoshop. tamade. out of these i only know sketchup and photoshop. apparently they do not use Autocad and 3DsMax (which i’ve been using for the past 3yrs) at all cuz these softwares were not designed for Mac. told dad about it. he says he’ll consider getting me a mac. hahaha. hope he does. sockyee said that i can still continue using the softwares i’m familiar with la. but i’m worried, if ever my com breaks down, i wont be able to continue doing my work at all since their softwares are completely different! die right? if i can still do work in their com labs then things wouldnt be so bad la.

one really good thing i got to know is that, they don’t freaking use textbooks at all! super yay. hahaha. just borrowing some books for reference from their library would do. (: exactly like poly! plus, i can save $$$ since there aren’t textbooks to buy. muahaha. uni textbooks are always quite ex.

she’s gona contact me again tmr. (: thought of a few more things i wana ask her. really thankful she suddenly popped up in my life.

and so, after church we had our lunch at marina square. dian xiao er. good stuff. just a tad too pricey though.

my favourite dish is the roasted herbal duck! damnnn awesome! one of the best ducks ever. haha. the herbs give this dish a very distinctive flavour, making it different from all other typical roasted ducks. totally yuumms. the pork ribs was rather awesome too. (: i’ll definitely miss these dining moments with my family when i’m over at tasmania alll by myselfff.. nobody to pay for yummy meals like this~ =/ lol.

after lunch we walked to millenia walk and suntec city. (: pleasant day. sigh tmr is monday=work day= sucks.

have not blogging for quite a number of days. cuz life felt mundane, plus i didnt have any pictures to post hahaa. so this post is rather wordyy. k that’s all. =)

urgh

sometimes i really loathe bus rides. especially when i’m standing. don’t know why but my pair of feet can’t seem to stabilize themselves properly. perhaps, it’s just that the crazy bus drivers are making turns too sharp and stopping so suddenly. and most of the times, yes it’s cuz of the crazy bus drivers.

i’ve come to realise that the most number of times i’ve said the word ’sorry’ is on buses! kept bumping into people, accidentally falling on them,  squashing them etcetcetc. sorryyy innocent victims! quite embarrassing to keep falling on them. =/

today the victim was a secondary school boy. lol. bus jerked so suddenly while i was atempting to walk towards the backdoor. thus i fell towards a boy who was seated opposite me talking to his other friends. he caught my arm and i immediately apologised… as i was making my way to the back door i could hear one of his friends saying to him something like, “ehh wahh you sit this seat, very good! can have girls falling onto you!’ =__= wtf.

so anyway, polymaties came over my place this afternoon. (: spent some quality time with them hahaha. when they were leaving, i asked my mom if i could drive them to the MRT… wana make a guess what her response was? lol… well. she immediately forbade me to drive in case i get into another accident. =/ and she was too lazy busy to drive them there. so i walked them out to the bus stop. the bus arrived before they got there! jayden ran for it and made the bus uncle wait for the rest of them. lol.

chances of parents letting me drive at tasmania = 1% (and that 1% is just cuz i have a license. lol)

sigh. i haven’t found time to go to sim lim yett! maybe tomorrow after church i’ll get dad to bring me there.. so for now i still have not gotten a replacement for my faulty memory card yet (which means no photos) nor fixed my laptop yet.

ah. i happened to surf the blackberry website and found a blackberry i really like!! the new Blackberry Storm 2 (aka storm 9550) is comparable with a the new blackberry bold 9700! (: you can view the comparison of their specs here. i like the touch screen feature of storm. and the storm 2 comes with enhanced features, more memory, better camera, etcetcetc, and most importantly, the WIFI which storm 1 was missing! i’ve never liked a miniature version of a full keyboard on a device as small as a handphone. perhaps just not used to it… so compared with the bold i prefer the storm! x) hope i will be able to get the storm2 after i get to tasmania…

and oh God please arrange a suitable accommodation for me pretty pleaseeeeee…

worm. a book worm.

elder sister borrowed ‘5 people you meet in heaven’ from her friend. the moment i started reading it, i was completely drawn into the story. the starting was already very enticing. thus i finished the book within a day. (:

however when compared to the twilight series, harry potter series, and p.s i love you, etcetc, ‘5 people you meet in heaven’ still pales in comparison. the story is rather meaningful though. teaches you some lessons of life.

i love reading! don’t understand why some people totally hate reading/do not read. stories spun by strangers out there are so amazing. when i read i’m totally engrossed, and able to visualize everything described. it all plays out in my head as if i were watching a movie. so if ever you don’t know what to get me as a present, you can just get me a good novel. (: collecting books is a joy. this way i can re-read stories over and over again. if people start reading since young, then later on during primary and secondary school, english would be damn easy peasy! no need to study at all seriously. nothing much to study about english. lol.

anyway, you know what. i’m sorry polymates.. the photos we took on sat are practically irretrievable! )= those photos taken with our yuting who came back from newyork and is leaving this sunday.. =/ =/ =/ totally sucks. my camera’s memory card is seriously fcuked up. can’t access it anymoreee…. *wails* so huhh… i hope we will be able to hang out with her again before she leaves on sunday! take more photos.. the next time she comes back i won’t be here.. smsed yuting to ask when she’ll be free, but no reply. )=

another random thing to say. i freaking sprained my neck while sleeping last night! don’t know how that happened la. must have been too restless, moved around too much.. cuz my foot was so itchy! bloody mosquitoes! the reason why i really don’t mind having lizards around is cuz they can help to eat those mosquitoes! i hate mosquitoes! so now when i turn my head to the left, it really hurts. i wish it’ll recover by itself like reallll sooon, cuz i don’t wana go to the chinese doctors to get my neck fixed! it’ll hurt like a bitch.

this time’s sprain is not as bad as the one i had like one or two years back though. that one was ultimate la. squat down only also can pain till my tears came out. that time i sprained my neck cuz my new bought pillow was too high. =/ lol.

dumbdumbdumbb!! it’s so dumb to have stupid things happen to you while you’re asleep. =.= isn’t sleeping supposed to be like the safest activity to do? =.=

ohh elder sister’s friend is so funny. he saw my photos on her facebook and asked her in msn, ‘who is melinda lim?? looks exactly like you!’ hahahaha. =.= he says we look identical. but that’s not true. i think we only look about 20% simimilar? lol. some friends say we look totally different, some friends say we look alike. elder sis asked me so what is the truth? and i responded, that they are all crazy. (:

have been trying to shop for accommodation online. hahhaa. saw a prospective one and emailed an agent. waiting for his/her response.. hope i find a place soon. feeling anxious already. 1month plus more to go and i still do not have an accommodation yett?! ridiculous.

Kay Pee Ohh

see. it was like freakin crowded everywhere on new yr countdown night. lol. met up with samantha, guijia, and carissa (: haven’t seen carissa since like sec 3 or 4! that’s like 4-5 yrs back already! she’s samantha’s ballet friend. used to tutor us math/chem i thinkk.

and so the four of us wandered around cityhall and dhoby ghaut before finally settling down at somerset. x) a bar named KPO.

it’s a two storey place. ambience and crowd were pretty alright. just one thing i didnt like about it- the music. tamade. they kept playing those trance/techno songs. in other words, songs which annoy me. i love a wide variety of music. just not trance/techno/monotonous songs. once in a while there were okay songs… and so this was where we counted down at. =] drinks and snacks check! party poppers check! wonderful friends check!

with all that intact, the countdown began.

haha. it was heart warming seeing people hugging, jumping around, hi*fiving, screaming for joy, etc at the stroke of midnight. it is the one moment i see the human race (at least those within my sight) bonded and singing the same tune. (:

during christmas and new year, it’s not just the celebrations/presents that i look forward to. but also little things like smses/calls/letters from long lost friends. hahaha. or rather, friends i haven’t heard from for the longest time. really nice to know they haven’t forgotten me, nice to know i came across their mind on that very day. (: likewise i like my friends to know too that they were on my mind. but tamade didn’t get to sms some people since i lost their contacts when my phone got stolen. ohwells.

and so after chilling at KPO we got back to roaming the streets. found ourselves a nice little area to take photos at. (: secret place! hahahha. leave a comment if you wana know. x)

haha. from this we can gather that sam and carissa have both not forgotten what they learnt at their ballet classes. (:

pretty decor (:

haha. this particular stretch of wall doesnt seem to belong to singapore dont you agree?

hahhaa. in the first picture, sam and gj are having a cold war. in the second picture, gj handed sam a bunch of flowers thus making sam happy and ending the cold war. hahaha. their expressions are quite funny ya. pretty good actor/actress!

though our celebration was a simple one, i still enjoyed it throughly. (: was happy. it’s always the company that matters!

may we all have a happy, happy new year.

:|

it’s 6.30 in the morning. groggily i heard mom shouting at my sisters to wake up. the younger one had school and while the elder one was gona visit a chinese chiropractor. mentally noted that i had to wake an hour later before falling back asleep.

had a damn wierd dream. uni started. but it wasn’t the uni that i’ll be attending in real life, and i was supposed to attend flag raising ceremony (just like back in primary and secondary school). woke up late, can’t remember how i got to school, missed the flag raising ceremony, realised i didnt find out my timetable at all, didnt buy any school books at all… =.= went to school with a small little handbag feeling so lost. was supposed to get punished for missing flag raising but i escaped. saw a few ex school mates from both my primary and secondary school. asked them where is class, and what textbooks we were supposed to be having.. saw my A Maths secondary school teacher teaching titration. wahlao. apparently i was supposed to still be having A Math and Chinese lessons. in real life, i’m just supposed to be studying Architecture! and what’s wierder, is that some of my polytechnic school mates (we were in interior architecture) are in my A Maths Teachers’ titration (which is chemistry) class!

alarms rang (i set 4 alarms in total starting at 7.05am, 5 mins intervals), i woke up just enough to switch them off before drifting off back to my dream. i found my classroom and entered. to my surprise many of my primary school mates were there! even one whom i know is in australia now, was in my class. apparently we were having a lesson about business (wth? i never wana study business). she cut her hair short (in real life she has longg hair). the cliques back in primary school were sticking together again and i felt so lost.

‘ehhh wake up la! you got work right?!’ elder sister bellowed. she was back from visiting the chinese chiropractor. it’s 7.40am.

head so heavy, eyelids refusing to open, i tried to roll myself outta bed. so tired. so so tired. i hate waking up so early for work. mentally noted a major point why i’m gona study soon. cuz i hate waking up for work. it’s depriving me of sleep. it’s not natural to be forced awake. we’re supposed to wake up naturallyy… i’m totally not a morning person. think i’d rather wake up for school than work anyway…

so what do you make of that wierd dream? from what i guess, perhaps uni has constantly been in my mind a tad too much, and cuz i was afraid of waking up late so i dreamt that i woke up late? just like i’m afraid my teeth would fall out so very often i’d dream of my teeth falling out. =.= maybe i miss my A Math teacher? maybe in my mind that’s what schooling life should be- a math and chemistry, flag raising.. cuz it has been than way for 10years. 6yrs in primary school, 4yrs in secondary school. 3 yrs in poly did not leave an impression as deep as primary and secondary school did. hmm.

anwyay, sucks man. my camera’s memory card has some problems. and i’ve yet to fix my laptop screen. tamade. i shall make it a point to bring them to sim lim this week. will prolly get a new memory card. i feel like getting a new camera.. hahhaa. ohwells.. shall see how things go.

stepped into 2010

it’s the first day of year 2010. thus i feel the need to post an entry! hahaha. it’s already the 1st of january, 2010. feels so surreal. 2009 ended with big bangs here and there. there were fireworks both at marina bay and sentosa. didn’t watch them though. haha. hung out with sam, gj, and carissa at some other place. (: will do a post about it later on.

basically 2009 was a rather simple year for me. can be sumarized pretty easily.

jan-march: slacked super alot after our final year proj ended
march-may: worked at Design DNA while awaiting graduation on may 22
mid may- mid june: holiday at L.A. (best period of the year)
mid june- mid aug: majorrr screwup- the car accident (worst incident in my life), continued work at DNA
mid aug- dec: quit DNA and joined Viewstar (up till now)

and of course needless to say, the whole year i was fervently having outings with friends and my family. there were ups and downs here and there. but nothing i couldn’t deal with…that is, except for the stupid car accident. shan’t harp on about it anymore!

let’s not look back upon past unhappiness ya. instead we shall look forward towards our bright futures ahead. (: i do believe that we can determine about 80% how our futures would to turn out to be. the rest will be determined by luck/unforeseen circumstances.

what do you see yourself as in the future?

i see myself as a successful architect and investor. (: that’s what i’m gona work towards. gona make my parents proud of me, and try to be a good daughter. ahaha. now i’m always making mom mad at me cuz of trivial things. =p lol. plus, i’m never letting go of my handful of wonderful friends. so i see myself still meeting up them. but all these will be in the long run la.

just for the next couple of years, i’m gona work hard and do well in the university of tasmania. then i’ll probably work like a year in aussie before continuing with Masters. (: it’s good to have goals.

cuz it is said: Aim for the moon! For even if you miss, you’ll still land among the stars.

one more thing! it is good to forgive and forget. bearing grudges only makes oneself suffer more. thus whoever made me mad, you are already forgiven! hahaha.

have a wonderful 2010 ahead everybody! God bless!

this is it, the end of 2009

today’s the last day of  year 2009. (: feels as though time flew by so quickly. someone told me that once your age hits 20, time will start to fly by super fast. is that true? i’m 20.  lol. hmm. so far it seems to be true.

this week has been rather alright. was having monday blues.. after the long weekend, it sucked to be back in the office working. but the workload has been very manageable. x) heh.

watched Avatar with sebastian on tuesday. and woooh! i enjoyed it veryyy much. the price paid for the movie was damn worth it. we started watching around 7plus pm, and the show ended at 10pm! like whoaa. hahaha. plus it’s really good, thus it’s damn worth the time and money. (: the storyline is pretty simple yet nice. about how selfish humans destroyed another planet for their own benefits. happy ending! things turned out alright after alot of shit that happened. i found the show very fascinating cuz they created a whole new worldd!! it was amazingggg.. the love story amongst all the kaboom and kapows that happened was sweet and simple. (: and and! the graphics were amazinggg!! everything seemed so real it felt as though all that could be more than just fiction!

i still wana watch Sherlock Holmes (heard it’s damn good) and The Treasure Hunter (purely just cuz of jay chou).

tamade, why doesn’t my company give all staff half day off on the eve of public hols?? =/ so envious of other friends who have half day off. my manager took today off. haha. didnt have the right kind of mood to work. lol. already in the holiday mood.

things to do before feb 2010: write out a whole list of things i’m supposed to bring with me to tasmania, buy everything i do not have on that list, settle my accommodation.. and last but not least, lose weight! lol.

tamade i think all the eating has made my tummy bigger.. ): don’t even dare to see my weight now. hahaha.

tonight’s the countdown to year 2010. (: but i still haven’t made solid plans as to what to do yet! should be sticking to sam and gj again like a parasite/mega watt flashing lightbulb hahaha. but we have no friggin idea what to do yet. fireworks perhaps? lol. dont wana squeeeeeze in the crowd thoughh. so how? hope things turn out well… (:

i have already thought of my new year’s resolution! i’m gona study hard and achieve brilliant results in utas! that’s it. (: may i top the whole architecture cohort. =P muahaha.

may everyone have a brilliant time counting down to year 2010! looking forward to what the bright future ahead may bring.

have been single for like almost 2yrs but i’ve never felt any emptiness in my life. (: everything feels close to perfect. so that’s brilliant! love my friends, love my family!

shall end this post with a happy picture of me from this year!

XOXO

goodbye 2009. i shan’t miss you.

tune in to Looney Leney’s Tunes! lol

Looney Leney

hahahaha. Lene finallyyy revived her dead blog! wooh! i told her that ‘feelpurplee’ was a stupid blog name thus she changed it to LeneyTunes. LOL. like looney tunes. geddit? lol. cuz i call her looney leney, thus i think it inspired her to name her blog leneytunes. lol. ohwells, i know that i’m a greatttt source inspiration to her! glad to know that i’ve inspired somebody in this world. *coughcough* hahahahaha.

so, HERE it is! i think her posts are rather funny cuz of the way she talks. really kinda looney. lol!

cherish

28th- sunday, was another family day for me. (: morning we went to church, after that lunch was at a nice thai food restaurant at tiong bahru. my family frequents there. the food is priced very reasonably, and veryyy yummy! tastes very authentic. (: it’s called sabbaidee thai cuisine. just opposite the tiong bahru market place.

lol. this fish right there, is one of my favouritestt fish dish in singapore! (: the soup in this dish is superb! damn yummyy!! a tad sweet, a tad sour… aiya i dont know la, but alll the spices come together to create a superbbbb taste!! slurrpps. (: and the fish’s meat is always so fresh, so tender, so absolutely delicious! reallyyy loveee this. can eat this everyday and i still wouldn’t get sick of it. x) all the other dishes are yummy too. the mango salad rockss my sockkss! the stuffed chicken wing with the thai chilli is wayy better than kfc in my books! the tom yum seafood soup kicks Siam Kitchen’s ass biggg timee!! Siam Kitchen really can go ‘SIAM’ (slang meaning SHOOO! in a negative tone) one corner lor. so anywayy, ya go try this fish! (: go go!

lol. introducing, my brother:

see his cute earring? hahaha well that’s MINE! it’s mini santa. (: brother insisted on trying out my cute dangling santa earring. damn gay ya. lol. but he’s not! lol! he has a new love by the name of shi qi!

after our lunch we went to mt faber safra with the intention to bowl. but the lanes were occupied as there was an event going on. thus we decided to head to vivo instead. but brother stayed behind cuz he wanted to meet sq there! she stays reallyyy near there i guess. they met up and travelled to vivo by themselves. lol lol. my sisters haven’t seen sq before thus they were reallyyy enthusiastic about meeting up with her. lol! so when brother and sq were in vivo already, we called them to ask where they were. dad invited sq and brother to join us for our tea break (yes, more food right after our very satisfying lunch) but sq politely declined. thus my sisters bugged me to go with them to find the couple. met them at pet safari. lol. i dont think brother has held her hands yet. he’s reallyy shy. his first love afterall. =X lol! after that we went our seperate ways.

dad <3

haha. took a photo with dad and felt that it was a rather nice one. (: this is my dad. the one who has always stood by me throughout my life no matter what happened. i’m truly sorry for throwing my tantrums at him. sometimes he could get reallyyy annoying to the max.. like when he’s super naggy, when he doesn’t approve of things i wana do, when he threw away my whole collection of dried roses, when he threw away disneyland souvenirs i bought back for friends unintentionally, when he clears up my mess and puts them in places even he himself forgets resulting in me not being able to find my stuff anymore..etcetc.. i’d shout, scream hysterically, and even break into tears at him.. but i won’t do that anymore. cuz i’ve grown to understand how much dad truly loves me. when i was in need of more money to spend on unecessary stuff, he’d just give more and more to me, more than what i really needed. when it was me against the world, he was on my side. always and forever, he’d try to protect me from anything he deems dangerous or threatening to me. he always taught me the right from wrong though i didn’t always listen to what he was saying. he didnt allow me to drive the nissan out at all, cuz he feared that if i got into an accident, the car wouldnt be able to protect me well enough. thus he only allowed me to drive the mercedes, even though an accident would mean more costly repairs. he tried his best to trust me, yet i ruined it. crashed his car, wasted his 10k bucks.. still he was on my side. when i wanted to pursue studies in utas, he paved the way for me. for all that you have done for me, i thank you so very much papa. i’m not the type of person who can say all these right infront of him. thus i’m just typing it all out here… just for friends and random strangers to read. lol.

just now after i got home from work, i picked up the guitar and started strumming abit, then dad appeared and started teaching me new chords and songs. (: he even printed out notes for me! lol.

cherishing all the time left with my family. have never left them for more than 2months before. this whole boarding school thing is gona be totally new to me.

may god bless everybody! (:

some family lovin’ time

boxing day- the 26th of dec was a great day with my family. (: woke up at 12, then had some father daughter bonding time with dad. <3 hahahaa. he taught me new songs on the guitar and taught me how to pluck the strings correctly. dad has been playing the guitar since he was a teenager. we even played duets together (me on the guitar & dad on the piano) while mom lazed on the sofa watching us. (: i’ll definitely miss this kinda thing when i’m out there alone in tasmania in two month’s time..

after that we went to collect some xmas meats from hotel rendezvous for our dinner later in the evening with relatives. (: dinner was at cousin’s place.

the condo was nicely decorated. =) those people in the photo below are my relatives.

a table full of food was more than enough for the lot of us! everyone had alot of leftovers to bring home. lol. and mom made the turkey into turkey porridge the next day lolll. is she funny or what.

there were still popiah and some noodles thingy and rice- all of which i didnt take photos of. lol. anwyway, the food was very good! (: some were bought, some were prepared by us. normally people have the impression that turkey meat is tough and not very tasty. yes, that is true some times. but this turkey wasn’t like that! it was awesome! tender and yummy. hehehee. yess envy meee. x) ……………. kiddin..! heh. the beef was bursting with flavours and so superbly tender too. the egg dish was really queer. lol. first time i had it. cousin nat who stayed in germany before made it. she said that’s europe style. so i was like ‘ooOohHhh… interesting..’ hahaa. still alright la. not bad. (:

the desserts were rather yummy too. aunt doris made the log cake. it’s cempedak flavoured. interesting huh. (= aunt doris loves to bake. her daughter clarabel picked up this hobby too. haha. and so they decided to start an online bakery thing. you can have a look at their webbyy HERE. (: they are new with this thing. show some support ya. heh. aunt is reallyyy marvellous at baking. she bakes all sorts of things and is still learning more stuffs all the time.

the other normal round xmas cake is from hotel rendezvous. lol. not bad too. but i felt that the log cake was better. lol!

kk ’nuff of food photos. now i shall introduce my special 4yr old cousin to y’all! hahahaa. i swear he’s SOOOO CUTE nobody can resist touching himmmm and hugging himmm and rubbing your faces on himmm etcetcetc. (: his name is SNOW! grandma isn’t very good at pronouncing english words. thus she calls him ‘nooo! ah noooo!’ x)

the reason why i call him ‘cousin’ is cuz my aunt angie and uncle kevin are his ‘parents’. =) he’s like a son to them. and he’s soooo funny. totally has a mind of his own.

we brought him for a walk after dinner and he was so excited. ran ahead. but guess what? he ran to the carpark and headed towards my uncle’s car! lol! seems like he wants to go home already! we were so surprised that he actually knows his way back to the car. (: even us humans tend to forget where exactly where our cars are parked, yet snow knew his way! lol. and he even recognises BMWs! cuz uncle and aunt both drive BMWs. so he got the wrong bmw. he ran to the bmw one car away from my uncle’s bmw. cousins and i were all laughing. but soon he  found the right bmw, and firmly stuck his butt to the ground! lmao. no matter how hard we pushed/pulled him, he refused to budge! damn funny la. after like 15mins or so we finalllyyyy managed to pulllll/drag/push and convinced him to follow us back. lol. snow’s a cuteyy. <3

after dinner some of my relatives went home while myself and a few others decided to go bowling at east coast’s marine bowl! (:

hahaa. yupyupp that’s me in the last picture bowling. i know my posture and pose and whatever are alll incorrect. but whatever la since i’m not playing competitively. hahaa. it’s purely just for leisure and self entertainment. x)

i suppose the next family event will be chinese new year- which i wouldn’t be around for. =/ hmmm.

OoOoohh…

i didn’t know that Ken Lim is that talented. the song he composed “Touched By An Angel” for the idol finalists to sing was awesome!!! reallyyyy nice song. touched my heart when sylvia sung it. in my opinion, sylvia’s voice is wayy better than sezairi’s! i love her type of strongg vocal chords. (: i hope Sylvia wins!!!! voted for her. haha. GOOD LUCK SYLVIA RATONEL!

update:

TAMADE sigh. yet another malay dude won. that makes three dude idols already. why oh why can’t singapore have a babe winner especially when her voice was wayyy better?? =.= ohwellls..  sezairi seems like a nice person, and i could see alot of effort put into his performances (sylvia too put in alot of effort).. so congrats sez..

singapore idol is getting mundane. =.= i was hoping to see a new type of idol. diff type of person, diff type of voice…

was pleasantly surprised when mj kuok appeared in a performance. i still have a thing for himm =) maybe it’s his face or the way he talks and performs? just like him loads. hehh. good luck in everything you do mj kuok!

christmas day <3

had church xmas service in the morning. (: sang christmas carols and heard a guest speaker talk about the twelve gifts of the magis. after which we stayed a while to eat! there were loads of food (alot of which i didn’t take photos of).

then dad drove us to novena square. i left to meet the polymates at pepxi’s place (at yishun zomg freakin far) while they walked around novena.

thankyou dear chefs for preparing the food. (:

hahaa. mathilda brought a small xmas tree. and we tried fixing it up the best we could- which turned out to be pretty good! hahahah! in our opinions la. who cares about your’s. as long as we’re happy. lol! =P

then we feasted till we were pretty full before proceeding with our log cake! =D mango flavoured! YUuUuMmmS!

after which we had our gift exchange! (: think everyone was pretty much satisfied with what they got. haha. drew lots.

there were still alottt of food leftover, thus we played indian poker! hahaha. loser gets to eat. it’s a damn good way of finishing up food! so none gets wasted. (: plus it’s an easy yet fun game to play.

everybody helped to pack up and cleared all the mess before leaving. (: see, that’s what true friends do. we help each other. i’m reallyyy glad to have known this bunch of wonderful friends. they make me believe that there are manyy really nice people out there in the world. hope i’ll be able to find friends like them in my uni! when we’re together, nobody’s pretending- everybody’s our true self. we can get along so easily! it’s fun being with them. hhaha. all the small little things make it fun. it’s hard to really find examples to state, cuz they are too little that i forgot. =/ ahhaa. but i do remember how fun and sincerely happy i was being with them. they’ve been a major part of my life over these past three years. hope we will continue to stay in contact always & forever till we’re all wrinkled with grandchildren! hahaha. <3 whoever gets married better send invitations to the rest of us ah! *looks at cindy & lene*

thank you all the dear people who made my christmas eve and christmas 2009 a very happy one. and thank you to those who gave me presents. (: hope everybody else had a wonderful christmas tooo! hahah i’m looking forward to the next christmas. wonder how it would be like! MERRY CHRISTMAS! (:

christmas eve

after work i went home, had dinner, then happily prepared to leave home to meet sam and gj. though my camera batt was sufficient, i still took it out to charge. then, TAMADE! i freaking left home without the camera battery! wtfwtfwtf. not the first time i’ve done this laaa. sooo, our only source of photo taking was through gj’s iphone3GS. =/ ohwelll. better than nothing.

anyway, met them at a cosy restaurant near tanah merah where they had their dinner and we stayed there for quite ahile to chat. after that we decided to head down to clarke quay to countdown. (: was rather crowded, but definitely not as crowded as orchard. which was exactly what we wanted- a not overly crowded environment which still has the christmassy mood and right ambience with the countdown! it was still rather ‘dangerous’ out in the open though. sam got sprayed by some annoying kid with the snow spray thing. and tamade it was stinky. seriously. don’t know why that particular brand was that smelly. thus we headed for cover in Indochine! not bad. (: so we stayed there, played some drinking games, and counted down to christmas! woohoo. xD macdonald’s fries for supper before we headed home.

i wore a green top and a red shorts! (but i realise my shorts can’t really be seen in these photos lol) was sooo into the whole christmassy mood. (: my earrings are little santas! heh.

———————————————–

anyway, a veryyy shocking thing happened on xmas eve…. xD hahaha. MY LITTLE BROTHER BROUGHT HOME A GIRL FOR THE VERYYY FIRST TIME! and we’ve neverrrr heard of him having any gfs before or whatsoever. lol. thus we were alll veryy interested and curious about the whole thing. she even stayed for dinner. x) apparently brother gave her a givenchy perfume as her xmas gift. that dumb ass has no whatsoever experience with choosing perfumes. that perfume is tooo mature for her la! she’s only sweet 16. haha. and he’s retarded 18. she got him a CK perfume. lol. mom was saying that it was the first time in her life she smelled a nice smell coming from brother’s body hahahaha.

could tell that the girl was a nice and good one. =) very guai guai type. had a pretty face, slim figure, long hair, a teeeny weeeny bit taller than me, was carrying a backpack, wore sneakers, short black cute dress, AND WENT HOME AT 9 PLUS cuz her curfew is 10.30pm. ahahah! what a gooody two shoes in a good way! =) well done brother.

xmas eve 09 was remarkable.

awaiting

awaiting christmas! haha. still do not have any solid plans yet. might go down to timbre for xmas gift exchange with the goodfellas & their friends. the goodfellas will be performing tonight and counting down to christmas. but basically, the main plan is to stick with samantha and guijia. hahaha. (:

hais. are design companies all like that? other companies give their employees half day off on the eve of a public holiday. mine doesnt.. other companies don’t make their employees work on public holidays, mine does. but heng ar i never kena. told them i’ll be busyyy. which happens to be the truth. x)

at work now. can’t wait to go off. =) i’m dressed in reddd! but gona change before going out later. already decided that i’m gona wear red & green! yay!

merry christmas eve!

more outings = more $$ spent = less savings

haha. not updating for a couple of days makes me feel uncomfortable. so gotta update! hahaa. have been going out and spending as if my money grow on trees, but they don’t ): ! lol.

i think i’ve already sorta lost track when i went out with friends. hmmm. Ate this with seb at cedele like last week? or the week before that. lol.

have no idea if we watched any movie after that. can’t remember much.. =/ so that’s all i’m gona write about that outing! lol.

last thurs after work, eugene irene and myself went to have dinner together at plaza sing. our first mini colleagues outing! x) had hong kong cafe food. then i brought them to 1 caramel after that.

the following day (fri) i met up with weida for dinner. it was at double bay- an aussie cafe/bar. we went there especially to try the Pure Blonde beer. i’m not a hugeee fan of beer, but still quite alright with it. pure blonde was rather good. (= dinner was some fancy fish dish thingy. totally forgot to take photos of the food. it was good! both of us had a fancy fish thingy. hahaha. after that we went to walk around abit to aid the digestion of the foood.

saw some pretty good live performances. (: this is in the esplanade. love the xmas trees in the background.

and this was outside esplanade. =) really good jazz music. but i think the pianist was kinda cocky when he kept emphasizing that HE composed the songs. took all the credit. didn’t even say stuff like “my band members encouraged and helped me alot..” hmm.

next on saturday night, i met up with irene and eugene again. this time we went to Timbre at the substation. introduced irene to the best live band in singapore- the goodfellas! ahaha. she loveddd them too. =D yayy! i’m gona let all my friends know how awesome the goodfellas are.

beauties and the beast! wahahaha! =X

anywayy, i’ve caught the flu bug. boohoo for that. i hate flu, cuz mucus is just plain disgusting and duper annoying when it blocks my nasal passages. rather be having fever instead seriously. =.=

shooo! away with the flu bug!~

have been searching online for accomodation near school. found a few prospective choices! =) but haven’t confirmed yett.. cuz the school hasnt gotten back to me regarding those accommodation related to utas which i applied for. damn slow la! =__= i’m kinda kan chiong already, that school’s gona start about 2months later but i still haven’t settled my accommodation issues yet. darn. nvm, i shall pray and have faith that God will show me the way!

i slept at 9pm last night! that’s my record for this year! the earliest! xD cuz i was reallyyy tired at 8pm. now it’s already 12am. so i’m gona sleep now. sleeeppyyy~ nights all and stay happy! (:

walk walk walking… crack!

it’s quite a horrible feeling to know that you accidentally just destroyed someone’s house and probably killed the owner ya? lol

…

…..

but it’s even more horrible to be the victim. lol. while walking to my office i  saw a poor snail crushed by somebody, lying pitifully on a pathway. =/ it brought back some memories. not fond ones though. lol. i remember accidentally stepping on a huge snail before.. then its shell gave way with a loud cracking sound. =//

ohwell. may you rest in peace snaily!

this is the rainy season thus there are bound to be many snails around, forced away from their flooded habitats. so do becareful when you’re walking. =) try not to step on the poor creatures ya.

the evil woman

wahh i feel SOOOO AGITATED after watching today’s episode of Cruel Tempation! the evil woman in the drama is seriously the mostttttttestestesttttt evilestestestestttt person ever! in my books she’s on par with hitler! i have to repeatedly keep reminding myself that this is just a korean drama, everything is made up, and nothing is real. wahhh. then i kept thinking to myself that if ever i met an evil woman of that calibre, i would wana kill her!

blogging to vent out all my anger. lol. kinda dumb i know. but i can’t help feeling this way after watching the drama. =/ korean actors and actresses are damn good! they found a evil-looking woman who matched this role perfectly! wah when i see her evil smirks and facial expressions while she’s plotting evil plans, i seriously feel like ringing her neck! grrrr.

tomorrow’s episode is gona be worse. boohoo. the evil people’s evil plans are going to succeed. dont feel like watching tomorrow’s episode!! but at the same time i want to watch…….. oh the contradiction. loll.

i’m waiting for the part to come after the evil people thought that they killed the kind girl. i wana watch the poor girl take revenge on the evil people! lol.

——————————————————

the working life is getting really mundane. sigh. can’t imagine having to go through the same routine everyday for the coming years in life. thank goodness i’m starting uni in feb. it’s been quite some time since i last studied for an exam. think i kinda miss it.. =/ lol! writing notes, memorising stuff, being hardworking etcetc. 17 more days till the end of year 2009, 11 more days till christmas! whoa! last christmas’ celebrations still seem very clear in my mind as if it all just happened a mere 3 months ago. don’t know why this year whOooOooshed by!

hope everybody’s happy. (: merry soon to come christmas!

dad is so funnyyy!!

one fine morning while elder sis and my parents were at the dining table having breakfast, dad received a phone call from a china lady telling him that he won stuff and to collect them (something like that, you know.. those scammers) ! dad put her on loudspeaker for mom and sis to listen to the convo.

the china lady had a high pitched shrieking voice and spoke with a strong china accent.

china lady: *rubbish about winning stuff in mandarin*

dad: 你是哪里打来的啊？ 你是中国女人啊？？(dad doesn’t like china women. bad impression of them cuz of the prostitutes, conmen and all..)

我是中国人，从香港打来的！请问您贵姓啊？

林 。

哦林先生啊？您的大名呢？

没有。(i suspect dad doesn’t know his name in mandarin cuz his mandarin seriously sucks. lol)

怎么会没有呢？您一定会 有名字的啊!

林没有!

啊?什么啊?

林没有!

哦!林明偶啊?

嗯

好特别的明偶啊! 什么”明” 啊? 什么 “偶” 啊? 是 ‘明天’ 的 ‘明’ 吗?

嗯

“偶” 呢?是哪一个”偶” ?

偶啊. 就是偶啊. (he doesn’t know what ‘偶’s there are )

哦… 那您几岁呢?

六十五岁! 哎呀我很忙啊，要照顾孙子，没时间和你聊。(he’s just 52, and has no grandchildren to take care of lmao!)

哦。。那就不打扰您了。

byebye! *ends phone call*

hahahha. funny not? for those of you who know how to read mandarin! hahaha. when elder sis was telling me and my younger sis, we were laughing like mad. found it damn hilarious.

happy feet ;)

cost us 65bucks each. tamade. i don’t think it’s really worth that much lehh… but what to do. ohwells. haha. so must make the best out of it! i showed everybodyy i know my nails, and have been wearing open toes shoes or slip ons everyday! hahaha.

gorgeous christmas wallpaper <3

hehe. it’s my wallpaper now. just thought of sharing the good stuff. merry soon to come christmas!

iPhone 3GS price plans from M1, Singtel and Starhub

i didnt make this. some brilliant girl/guy out there did it. haha. you can download the spreadsheet here.

haha. now that both m1 and starhub have the iphone,  singtel has revised their price plans in order to stay competitive. so that’s great news for all of us. =D we get better deals. remember singtel’s iFlexi Value used to come with only 1GB of data credit? well now they have raised it to 12GB! a whooping 11GB jump. hahaha. wooh!

i wish santa exists (:

pedicure with lene, cindy, and mathilda was great… that is, up till the point where we went to the cashier to make our payments. throughout the session, we heard sums like $35 or $50.. so.. none of us could really understand how it got to $65. =/

but our toenails are prettyyyy now!!! hehehe. cute christmassy designs! waiting for lene to upload the photos then i can post up the photos of our pretty nails.

i love christmas! i love the whole atmosphere, i love the sales, i love the decorations, i love the story behind christmas! below are photos of the christmas decorations for year 2009 at orchard road.

The following are photos of the orchard road xmas deco when seen at night. (:

they even put lights in the shrubs! how pretty is that! x) next, the following are photos of the deco when seen in the morning.

the lights look much prettier at night ya. (: and the following are some other random christmas deco!

i had starbucks with irene last friday. :] i tried one of their xmas specials- the peppermint mocha frappuccino! sadly the mint taste wasn’t strong at all! couldn’t feel any cooling sensation at allllll. what a disappointment. but overall it was still alright… chocolatey coffee is always nice. lol.

ohh and i saw a very cute thing…. this below! it’s a baby’s shirt. (:

at this point in time i’m feeling very blissful. seated on the comfy sofa eating crunchy and juicy hami melons while typing away on my lappy, and watching tv all at the same time! randomly came across the 1 Litre Of Tears movie on channel 61. It never fails to remind me how lucky i am to be born a normal kid.  may everybody stay in the pink of health and cheerful always! merry soon to come christmas! (:

xoxo

yet another week

thursday met up with sebastian for Ninja Assassin. somerset 313 was already open! so we walked around abit and had teppanyaki (which was rather salty) for dinner which resulted in us being late for our movie. lol.

On friday i met my ex colleague Clement the lemon! hahaha. yong zhe was supposed to meet us too but he fell sick. get well soon zhe! (: and so we walked around and around orchard. went to the orchard central’s rooftop garden for the first time. there are a few restaurants up there.

yuumms with the polymaties <3

met the polymates at orchard ion and we had Watami for dinner. jap food! we had to queue 1hr before we could get a table for the 8 of us! lene couldnt join us, but so coincidentally we met her at ion. lol. she was with her own bunch of friends.

our FOOD.

my wonderful polymaties (some are missing from this meetup lol)!

after dinner at Watami we went to have dessert! Marvellous Cream & some crepe thing.

wanted to watch movie. but there were only movie timings available after 12am. thus we went home. (: though the meeting was rather short (3hrs plus), it was sweet!

next year when i’m away, i wonder who amongst my polymates will continue snapping photos and documenting them (in their blogs). lol. someone please bloggg about your outings k so that i can be updated about what’s going on.. i am guessing that mathilda and lene will be the ones snapping and uploading into facebook. but lene blogs like twice a year while mat doesnt really post photos in her posts! =[ ohwell..

haha. are we gona have a christmas partyy together? ((:

Happy Birthday Jesslyn Novianty!

hahaha. your birthday present was that alligator cookie jar thingy and the other stuff which came along with it k. so err not sending you any other gifts this yr.. =p wanted to send you a card. but i realised that after my phone got stolen, i no longer know your address. hahaha! cuz i saved it in that phone which got stolen~ .. roughly remember bits of your address la, but not the whole thing… yea so.. probably will send you something on christmas! (:

since i’ve gotten pretty good at digital thingys i figured that i should probably put my skills into good use by creating a lovely birthday greeting card for you. so here it is. happy birthday once again! i know you’re so gona have fun at vegas. so envious!! well take care okay! (:

Changing Appetites

thursday (yesterday) after work, i went to marina square with eugene. had changing appetites for dinner. it was goood! (: and i love the fact that everywhere i go seems to be nicely decorated for christmas!!

indo food

mom’s indonesian friend told her about a good authentic indo food place called Java Kitchen which was located along tanjong katong road. near my secondary sch cchms! (: thus my family went there for lunch last sunday.

all the items we ordered were pretty good. really authentic even the staff working were all indos. hover your mouse over the photos for the names of the dishes. i ordered happy soda cuz i liked its name. hahaha. but i’m not used to its taste.. kinda like gassy bundung?  wierd huh. hahaa.

after this lunch, we went to plaza singapura. family watched 2012, and i watched it with them again (2nd time watching). hahaha. initially dad told me to go watch another movie alone in another theatre since i’ve already watched it. i didnt feel like watching a movie aloneee… luckily dad couldnt bear to let his dear daughter watch another movie alone in another theatre surrounded by strangers. =P hahaha.

was happy. (: dad let me and sisters have his credit card while he and mom went back to the car to rest before our movie started. hehe. but we were very nice. only bought shoes/heels/slippers. (: didnt really spend that much.

had pepper lunch for dinner. it’s been a rather long time since i ate it. tasted pretty good! that marked the end of yet another wonderful sunday.

polymaties (:

once again brandon wanted to go clubbing. hahaa. but that idiot didnt even bring his IC how to go? funny boy. lol.

last saturday after walking whisky, i met the polymaties at night. went to watch A Christmas Carol. boy was it dumb. kinda disappointed with the show. ohwells. but it’s still a christmassy movie. yay i lovee christmas.

then we went to have the yummy beancurd at selegie!

after that we walked from selegie to clarke quay! clarke quay too was decorated nicely for christmas. (:

walked a few rounds around clarke quay before finally deciding to settle down at a random retro pub place. not very happening. haha. but it’s the company that matters afterall right?! hahaha.

XOXO

whisky!

cousins and uncle came over last sat, and we walked whisky together. (: isn’t whisky handsome? to me he’s the most handsome dog ever!

i hope whisky won’t forget me when i’m aboard studying. =/ haha. i’ll miss him! he’s so fat and cuddly. but very mischievious and dumb. he’s a dumb blonde. hahaha. seriously. he doesnt know much tricks and doesn’t listen to people. but it’s okay. as long as he’s so handsome. xD hahahaha. love you whisky!!!

wahh.

wanted to blog a proper update. with photos and all. and upload photos into facebook. BUT, i left the camera in younger sister’s bag. and she’s still not home yet. that little twerp. bet she’s out there somewhere with her new found ah beng love.

ohwells. lol. at 8plus pm i’m already feeling sleepy. highly considered going to bed. but thenn. it’s such a waste to sleep all my time away. life would therefore only consist of working, eating, and sleeping. so mundane. thus i decided to fight those Z monsters! hah! i’m playing my guitar. trying to learn new songs. i think i will try to learn For You I Will by teddy geiger!

Fann Wong has the H1N1 virus. hmm. hope she gets well soon! (:

stunning

lady gaga never fails to make an impression and give unforgettable performances. i can’t believe she set her piano on fire!

what would you do?

watched 2012 last night with sebastian. shit man. the effects were scarily realistic! it made me feel as though everything is real and is gona come true! during and after the movie i kept thinking what i would do if all of that is gona come true. one ticket to escape would cost 1 billion euros! even if  my whole family combined all our money we wouldnt even have enough for one ticket. shit.

my first thought is that i wana be with my family, wana huddle with them and say our final prayers together. second thought is that i will fight for our lives! hahaha. i shall start experimenting with my friends and we will build our own floating devices which will be able to hold us and our families!

the worst thing that can happen is that i am not with my family the moment our lives are taken. lol. or even worse, only i survive while the rest of my family and friends are dead. yea that’s the very worst that can happen.

the movie was very good! had many sad heart wrenching parts. a parent’s love for their children is the greatest. it was so sad seeing how they sacrificed themselves to save their kids. it was sad seeing many good people dying.

with all the natural and man made disasters which have been occurring, i believe the world will end one day. but i don’t think it will be so soon la! hahaha. not in our generation at least. hopefully. (:

argh! shoot the stars!

on tuesday i read on yahoo news that there was gona be a spectacular shooting stars show that very night from 1am till dawn. when the night came, i took a nap at 9pm and woke up at 12.30am.

i did consider driving dad’s car out to east coast, changi beach, or mount faber. however i HIGHLY doubt that dad will trust me with his car. haven’t been driving since that crash. so i settled for just sitting outside my house. lol.

at 1am i excitedly took a chair with me and sat outside my house happily anticipating the shooting stars.

however it was rather cloudy.. ): could still see quite alot of stars at the ‘bald’ spots though. lol. thus i was still kinda hopeful. as i sat there waiting, things i wanted to wish for were running across my mind.

1.15am still nothing. 1.30am still nothing. the only thing that came closest to looking like a shooting star was a white bird which flew across the sky. it seriously made my heart skip a beat. after expecting to see shooting stars, i guess my mind started to make things look like shooting stars to me.

1.45am still nothing. okay i got really impatient and disappointed.. 1.50am i gave up. brought the chair back into house and went to bed. =_= sigh.

that night i did dream about shooting stars though. in my dreams i saw a beautiful display of shooting stars. hahaaa. must have been tooo obsessed with it that it really appeared in my dreams. (:

today i read in the news that “Scientists in Singapore say that about 14 shooting stars were visible from 4.30am to 5.30am”- quoted from yahoo news.

hais. if i knew that the shooting stars would appear from 4.30am-5.30am i would have waited at that time instead of 1am-2am! ohhhwells. sigh~

T__T

today is, one of the worst days ever.

nothing beats the night i had the car accident.

but today is still pretty sucky.

):

depressed.

i hate today.

under my umbrella ella ella

for the past 3 weeks or so it has been raining just about every single day. all are convectional rain (haha wow i still remember my secondary school geography!) though. lasts for a few hours each day.

yesterday, as i was waiting to cross a road, an elderly lady shouted, ‘are you crossing the road?’ there were a few people around me with umbrellas. but they either had bad hearing or ignored that lady on purpose. i turned around and saw the lady waiting under a shelter. i walked to her and told her i was crossing. she seemed rather bright and cheery, and starting talking to me while putting one arm around me to hold me close while we shared the umbrella. i was thinking to myself that this lady is very outspoken and rather different from the average crowd. from her accent i could tell that she’s not a singaporean. haha. figures. singaporeans wouldnt be sooo friendly and approachable. the average singaporean wouldnt put their arm around a complete stranger when sharing umbrellas. in fact i think singaporeans wouldnt ask a stranger to share his/her umbrella with them. they’d rather dash across the road.

hmm. wonder what is it with our upbringing that makes us less friendly than other people? in some foreign countries strangers would give you a sincere smile as they walk past or when you happen to catch their eye. in singapore, we’d quickly look away if we happen to make eye contact with a stranger.

anyway, last night i caught the movie ‘my girlfriend is an agent’ with johnson. whoaa that  movie was damn good! a romantic comedy! everyone in the cinema was in fits of laughter throughout the movie! seriously it was that funny. hahaha. we enjoyed it very much. (:

happy happy birthday matty (:

as always, weekends are indeed the best days of the week! hahaha. (: yesterday (saturday) was mathilda’s birthday. we were out allll day! was a rather brilliant day i would say.

after my stupid compulsory health checkup (for application of student visa), i met up with leney at bugis before we headed to plaza singapura to meet brandon and mathilda. :] lunch was carl’s junior.

then we went to have DESSERT! yay for dessert. hahaha. it was at a place called 1 Caramel. x) cool name ya!

hahaa. damn satisfying! (: we were SO FULL that we decided to walk from dhoby area to orchard.

branny rather be the photographer than to pose with us. =/ lol. anyway, yay the xmas decorations along orchard road are all pretty much done up! xmas lightings are always so beautiful every year! part of the reason why xmas is my favourite season of the year. (:

the triangle doorway is actually the entrance to a super tall christmas tree displayed outside Orchard Ion. cool or what. and this is what the inside sorta looks like.

cool right! [refering to both the above and bottom photos hahaha]

we walked so much till we were all so worn out. thus we settled at IndoChine to chill. (: it’s quite rare for bars to have live bands in the afternoon/evening. this was what attracted us to IndoChine! hahaa.

got the photos from leney’s uploaded photos in facebook. that’s why the resolution kinda sucks. haha. after chilling at indochine, matty went to meet her parents for dinner while we rotted around. lene left not too long later. thus i had dinner with brandon while we waited for mat to finish her dinner and rejoin us.  (:

after that we went to Timbre Mobile! cindy and her bf later on joined us too. hahaha. photos are with mathilda. so that’s all for now! (:

today (sunday), i went out with my family as usual. lunch was awesome. hahahaa. crystal jade xiao long bao is always awesome. x) after that i went to get my hair trimed. totally regret it. loll. shouldnt have gone to that lousy place. only went cuz mom kept insisting. sighs ohwells….!

update: okay here’s a nicee pic from timbre mobile with cindy and her bf (: took it off facebook so it’s blurryy…. hahhaa. still nice though!

a tad of this & that

JAY CHOU HAS A NEW SONG WITH 袁咏琳! it’s called 画沙! (: not his nicest song, but still relatively good. it’s playing on repeat on my iTunes. muahaha. <3 downloaded it cuz i can’t wait for it to be released!!! hahaha. will definitely buy his new album when it comes out (have no idea when yet).

hehhee. hey y’all. i drew something. you can see it HERE! hehe. and then at the same time, you can vote for my drawing! muahaha. started reading akiraceo’s blog not too long ago. the characters are invented by him. wafu and pafu. aren’t the names like damnn cute?! hahaha. lene even asked me if they are supposed to be TOFU! hahahaha. i like the drawings done by akira on his blog. (:

last thing. do anyone of you know any good stocks exchange free online games i can playyy?? i know there are such online games but i dont know any specific ones. =/ hahhahaaa. so if you know, do let me know! hahahaha.

meanwhile, i’m damn busy with work. ): brought work home to do. designing a house belonging to boss’ friend who stays in china.

so CIAO. (:

stay happy everybody! XOXO
