2007-05-29T00:46:00.000+08:00

What a well spent evening catching up with abby and tracy.
We had dinner at sushi tei and spent some good 2hrs plus there eating and talking about everything-from ny days to sec 2 memories to boys to food to love life to common friends to teachers to sales to schools to siblings. Basically we talked so much after not seeing each other for some time!
Then we left for menotti where we had half priced desserts! And i finally got home close to twelve. Thats considerably late because i sleep so early these days.
i need a getaway from singapore....

Man's best friend.

2007-05-23T23:18:00.000+08:00

i swear little trevor is too horny tonight. This might even be an understatement. He jumped on my bed and started licking me all over. From my toes to my legs, every part of my face, my neck ,my arms, my earS, even my hair..and he still cant stop even when i tried to shun him. And i infer that either my body foam smells good, or this little puppy is terribly in need of some love, or the other way-he thinks i need some love.

OH NO HES STARTING AGAIN!!!

mmm

2007-05-19T21:55:00.000+08:00

well, i dont feel too good now:(

2007-05-16T23:14:00.000+08:00

oh my..adding charlene to the list from my previous entry..she's interning in kpmg next week! Another good ol buddy to eat and catch up with:)yayyy
And im dead tired! I actually survived a 5 hr meeting today!!! It was supposed to be 3 hrs only but it dragged on...and ended up being 2 hours more.
Then i met becks in town after that for dinner and some shopping. Told you i am a superwoman!! I have been surviving over 12 hrs of heels and make up everyday, so much so my legs feel like they will break any time and my face will rot and decompose.
well, im talking nonsense already. It must be time to wash off and sleep!

some things just don't change

2007-05-14T23:27:00.000+08:00

Interning at shentonway can be such a delight! I look forward to lunch hour everyday and spend it with either colleagues or friends working/interning in that area-which happens to be quite a number of them!! theres joanne working at citibank, andrea dade working at kpmg, tor interning at ocbc, zes interning at ernst&young, alison interning at deutsche bank and becks who's starting intern at spore technologies next week. And they are all really near me. It's such a good catching up opportunity, really. Especially when work is busy and long hours and you get out of the office when the sun has already set and darkness has set in, when there is absolutely no time for people and yourself on weekdays...meeting up for lunch with these people is like a daily treat:)
anyway, im so glad i got to see joanne today! Abeit a short time, we kept talking non-stop over lunch and caught up quite a fair bit. I miss that girl! my childhood buddy and still is one. Some things just don't change. There are things of the past that we hold on to and won't ever forget, that we keep reminiscing and it remains in us and with us and becomes part of us.

time to hit the sack.

Happy Mother's Day!

2007-05-13T00:02:00.000+08:00

i got it i got it!!

NOT. not really.

I shared this with my brother for our mum. Happy Mother's Day..Broke but Happy childrens' day to us:)

weekends', finally..

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

Day 2(uhh no im not planning to blog everyday)of internship has been even better. Since yesterday, I have been given my own desk, a laptop to use and a transponder to go around the floor. Unlike yesterday, Im glad ive work to do today and enough work to occupy my mind and time such that i dont look at my watch every now and then, hoping that 615 would come soon. I'd rather be too occupied then not to be occupied at all, boredom kills me. You must be thinking im such a weirdo huh. I was just sharing with jan the other day that i realised im busy at every stage of my uni life. During the previous december holidays, I would be too occupied with part time work and IHG trainings every single day. When school term began, my schedule was packed with either school, tuition, driving or committee work. And my packed schedule meant that i had activities happening back to back most of the day and week. So now that my may hols had begun, just as any other uni student would rejoice at the thought of the 3 month break, my internship has also started in early may and will end in early august(fyi thats when the new school semester is starting). And that's also when ill be flying off to the land of the happiest people in the world. So ill be working my ass off till then. No rest no rest no rest AT ALL!
But dont get me wrong. Loving to be busy doesnt mean i hate relaxation. In fact, i always look forward to days that i can relax and do my own things. That also equates to shoppping(in all forms), going out and hanging out with people i love, eating nice treats and the list goes on.
The bottom line?? I love to be busy in all aspects, busy with relaxing(paradoxical?), busy with work and busy with life in general.
And now i wonder why i just robbed 20mins of my bedtime typing an entry like this.
well anyway, i look forward to tomorrow!

2007-05-07T21:55:00.000+08:00

let me take a breather

its only day1 of internship and im feeling quite tired already! Guess its also largely due to the lack of sleep over the weekend that has just passed. somehow it feels like the end of the week to me..HAHAHA look at what work has done to me. i hope ill survive the week and the next three months. And i hope ill survive tomorrow because 830am-615pm is work and ill have to rush down to my tutee's place and stay there till 9pm.

but day1 aint too bad. cheap and good lunch. helpful and friendly colleagues. inviting and cosy workplace. i hope it stays this way. strutting down shentonway streets in heels feels good too..well, somehow. hahaha

i should cut down on my food intake. i ate some oily ingredients w rice for lunch,lapis for tea,super oily mee/yakult/ice cream for dinner. ohh dearrr no wonder i can feel all the oil in my tummy:(

im going to wash up now and hit the sack. record breaking early sleeping time of the year..10am!!

2007-05-06T01:04:00.000+08:00

im back home for good and im starting to miss hall life already. i shall dedicate an entry about it with pictures the next time:) its not all bad to be home though-being able to see my family, having trevor's company, home-cooked meals and of course enjoying the comforts of my cosy room.
well well, im lying on my bed and typing this, as i take occasional glances at trevor's whos lying on the floor and sleeping like a baby. And once in a while, he will rub his paws against his face, stretch his tiny limbs and roll about on the ground while he sleeps the night away. you know,sometimes.. i just want to squeeeeeeeeze him dry. HAHA too cute!

2007-05-04T00:35:00.000+08:00

how having integrity can actually cause one to be on the losing end at times and this happened to me today.
but it sure didnt help when you confide in people you trust and they tell you in the face that you're dumb to do what you've done..it didnt make me feel better and i dont need to hear these remarks.
i just need to, sigh.

2007-05-03T11:44:00.000+08:00

exams are over for me! This exam period has been tough; getting sick and having bad encounter with difficult papers...well well, so it didnt end on a good note but nevertheless, its over and ill just see how my results goes. 3 months holidays are here to stay..whooopee!

2007-05-01T22:25:00.000+08:00

I have revamped this page!
though i cant seem to enlarge the entry box. argh so it overlaps with my tagboard now. ill see what i can do then. anyway, i need to mug. i need to mug. have been terribly lazy: (

2007-04-29T22:22:00.000+08:00

hello friend,
please dont take me for granted. You might be just testing my patience and it has its limits too.

on a happier note,
things i look forward to after exams:
1) internship! guess it will be a totally different kind of work experience.
2) triple3 treat on thurs with tor(note the unintended illiteration)
3) island creamery w neighbours A&A
4) completing my last lap of driving
5) getting winter clothes!
6) sakaeing-swimming w zes
7) get-together with all my buddies before leaving for sweden
8) having time to read
9) home-cooked meals
10) shopping!

after coughing so much, i feel that my lungs are no longer in existence. its gen bio tomorrow and i dont feel a sense of urgency. Maybe that's because i S/U it but i should just get down to studying right. complacency gets me no where.

thursday isnt too far away actually:)

let me do some studying for now..

2007-04-27T22:47:00.000+08:00

I feel like a superwoman today!
Survived on 2 hrs of sleep and went for 2 papers 2 hrs each.
Gave tuition after that and was supposed to help wyman get the blockbuster tickets but there was a change of plans since he was booking out.
Now im back in my room, resting.
Finally, it has been a long day.
Im tired.
I dont want to imagine this sem's grades i think being healthy and good grades are of a negative correlation. I coughed a lot in the midst of exams today and i missed a paper on tuesday due to fever.
argggh and everything wont be over until next thursday.
People who have finished their exams should stay away from me!!! hahaha its quite a number of yous out there.
goodbye!

2007-04-25T16:39:00.001+08:00

2007-04-23T21:17:00.000+08:00

a terribly leaky nose and burning throat...
im still shivering after 2 times of medicine dosage....
certainly aint a good start to the exams.
doesnt help that ive 2 econs modules 3ooo level papers tomorrow, one at 9am, the other at 1pm..
im cant feel more pathetic than this.

2007-04-22T02:19:00.000+08:00

this never fails to make me smile. hope it does the same for u!

lund!

2007-04-21T17:31:00.000+08:00

I know i dont have much time to spare but i just had to save these images which i grabbed from facebook. The place ill be at in 4 months time!!! I love buildings like these, dont they remind you of castles? And these buildings are actually part of the school. cant wait for lund!

2007-04-21T17:27:00.000+08:00

The next big revolution to come out of Apple - the iBoob!

"Apple Computer reported today that it has developed computer chips that can store and play music inside women’s breasts. The i-boob is considered to be a major breakthrough because women are always complaining about men staring at their breasts and not listening to them." - Cathia

erps.hahaha

2007-04-20T01:41:00.000+08:00

I realised, of all the friendships ive, I really treasure this particular friendship-the one between bestie and I. Well, unlike the past when we used to spend alot of time together, things have now changed......We dont do things together everyday, neither do we attend school together as we are from different faculties, we have different good friends in hall, we dont meet up for meals on most days, our rooms face each other in hall yet our busy schedules dont permit us to spend much time together.......BUT each time we talk, we have close heart-heart conversations, we can just go on talking forever about anything and everything and be true with each other...we laugh and make fun of each other yet we always bless each other with motivations and encouragement. There's just this strong sense of closeness between us that was the same like many yesterdays ago. And to me, it's really something special and beyond description. amazinggg.
I thank God for my bestie!
Haha, anyway, thoughts about friendships remind me of a commonly used poem my friends and i used to write on each other's autograph book during good old primary school days. It goes something like this "there are many ships in the world-spaceship, big ships, navy ships but the most important of em all is friendship!" hahaha its darn corny.
alright, it has been a thoroughly good day-had a hilarious pen fight with tor in the day, got my internship offer,a nice simple dinner,victory supper with the team,caught up with zes. yay to all that...though i must say today's the most unproductive revision day of the week.

2007-04-19T14:01:00.000+08:00

i want the internship so badly and the third round is an amplitude test which i think i screwed up due to tight time constraints.. sigh, i can just see it going down the drain. alright, i must have some hope since thats the only thing i can hold on to now...
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA THANK GOD!!
focus focus, 4 more days to the first paper RAHH

2007-04-18T13:12:00.000+08:00

gosh i was awaken by some missed calls and among the numbers, i called the unfamiliar one first, only to realise the call was from the bank for my intern and the person sort of gave me an interview over the phone. Oh gosh, so i have not fully wake up yet, still in my dreamy mode, i dont know if what i talked makes sense!! How deadd. But anyway, it sounds like a really good internship opportunity and if i get it ill be working in my dream working vinicity, shentonway!! sigh.
*prays hard.
PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

2007-04-18T03:21:00.000+08:00

It is no doubt that NUS is a truely muggerholic place. And you wont be surprised to see people studying at different parts of the school day in day out. And if you think students should be fast asleep at an unearthly 3plus am, you're absolutely wrong! Come check out the nus library during the study break! I think we are probably the only school in singapore to have the library studying level open 24 hours during the exams period. It is 324am in the morning now and level 6 is still quite packed, well not sardine-packed but enough people to deem the place filled. Yesss, scary i know and my presence here at this place at this hour is because i stay in hall and the library has a much better and more condusive environment to study in than my room in hall. But if i dont stay in school, ill probably be in my room at home snoring away.teeheeee

Im really not a night person but ive been awake till late every night since last week. Quite a feat i must say!! I am feeling a little tired now but i find it hard to fall asleep in the library and besides, ive coffee and mentoes to keep me awake. Thanks to key dear for the mentoeSS!(oops. i hope that was not too loud because she's just next to me:) )

ive been eating hell alot but have done zero shitting in the past week. really unhealthy. Tor commented that ive worms in my tummy; worms that eat the food that i consume as well the shit that's supposed to be passed out. funny logic.. Alright, i feel so constipated now just thinking about all the food input and nil output: (

back to my readings. freedom begins after 3rd may!

2007-04-17T10:09:00.001+08:00

I love you, economics.
Please love me too.

2007-04-17T00:50:00.000+08:00

I have to rant. whats with online shopping being convenient and easy when all these plus points are actually offsetted by the inefficiency of spree-ers. So right now im currently waiting for 2 bags, 2 shoes, and a top but none of which have arrived and it has been months since i ordered them! argh yes we all know that shipping takes time but these spree-ers didnt do any updates since then(okay, with the exception of one). TERRIBLE. I know this is probably just a trival issue to many of you but its how fustrating!! BISHHH

anyways. Im done with final theory and progressing towards practical test. finally~ Hopefully ill be able to get my license soon and then ill bid goodbye to ssdc. Driving is a worthy life-long learning skill but getting a license is a hefty investment so im truely grateful that mum's paying all the expenses for me:) i shall put my focus on it after exams and hopefully, ill pass at the first try and spend no more money.

okay.buhbye for now:)

2007-04-16T01:08:00.000+08:00

i want to go swimming!!
NO!! not in my stack of notes and economic theories, but swimming in a real poool!!

2007-04-14T00:03:00.001+08:00

sometimes, people can be life's biggest and only disappointment...

just for my honeybun.

2007-04-12T05:14:00.000+08:00

If only i could send a birthday cake over, i would. But due to distance constraints, ill give you a virtual one:) i wish you a really blessed 21st birthday, honeybun. And thanks for being one of my closest girlfriends. We go all the way back to good old ny days and as i recall all the wonderful memories we had, im only grateful for the faithful buddy in you. May you have all the love and happiness you so deserve:))

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HONG!

2007-04-10T05:13:00.000+08:00

This camera is screaming for my ownership. Can you hear it??

It has everything that i look for in a trusty camera. High megapix, anti shock, HUGEass screen, sleek physique...

i like.

gosh im so going to save up for this..

thats approximately 11 tuition sessions if i get it from yahoo..

I want to be 4-eyed and this would make a good companion when im abroad.

11x2=22 hours of hard work.

+edited+

so maybe ill have to consider another camera. I just happened to read several bad reviews about it..gosh what a spoiler.HMPF

2007-04-10T04:39:00.000+08:00

things we do at 4+am in the morning:

key came up with silly ideas of being kidnapped...

licky tongues(pardon my darn fat face..)

swimming in our books.

and jumpshots along long wing......

what a good way of relieving stress..

photos are courtesy of nehbud:)

2007-04-08T20:35:00.000+08:00

im feeling feverish. Think its from all the walking in the rain, heaty food and no exercise. The long weekend is approaching its end once again and after today, it's the start of the mad rush revision for exams BLEARGH. But come to think of it, everything will be over in a month's time.
So for now, I really need to put aside all worries, unnecessary stress and negative thoughts away to focus on my revision. hence, dont bother, dont bother.

anyway, its easter sunday today. I believe in a risen God. And because He lives, we live too.

2007-04-07T08:27:00.001+08:00

2007-03-31T17:51:00.000+08:00

I think this has been my busiest week in the entire month. Let me recall what i did: went for driving(FINALLY resuming after taking a hiatus of 8months!!), gave tuition(nothing new), school(though i have done zero revision for exams and i should start panicking), exam welfare pack collection(travelled to the ends of singapore for 2 whole fridays, and it was tiring!! :( ) , hall's open house(the committee sold island creamery and hotdog bread and the former was a hot fave! played 3on3 and won in the mixed category haha), met up with my parents for some really sumptious thai buffet(ive been eating more than usual and i dont know why im losing weight though i feel so fat and i think all the muscles i had turned into light visible fats thats why), met up and caught up with zes and qy at engine canteen, went supper with tor at hk cafe at an unearthly 2plus am, sent my computer to com centre because it had some virus..... and the rest were normal daily stuff.. Well, all these done in 5 days, must say it has been quite a fulfiling week!
Its april tomorrow and this means exams are drawing near. I promise ill start revision soon:)
Going NewAsia Bar with alibaba later, how exciting!!

2007-03-27T10:57:00.001+08:00

haha zes just sent me all the overdue photos and i realised its has been weeks since i got my com and ive hardly added anything to it. So finally, ive more pictures in my com now so yayy!

2007-03-25T19:31:00.000+08:00

I managed to drag my lazy arse out of the house for a jog with jan. And it was only merely 45mins that i started panting and gasping for air.oops. terrible. Anyway, we took a walk in the botanical gardens and i was surprised by the number of people having picnic there. There was like this HUGE open grass area for people to sit around and listen to the band play music. I should have taken my phone along then i would be able to take a picture of all that. I have never seen SO many people having picnic at the same area before! And there were many cute caucasian babies and well groomed dogs! I decided that ill bring trevor there next week so he can make more friends of his kind:)

2007-03-25T17:09:00.000+08:00

why am i always feeling blue these days:(

2007-03-25T03:50:00.000+08:00

its 350am and i got home an hour ago. The day has been a flurry of events. Lets see: Tor and i returned the van early in the morning and we had breakfast at macs before we left for hall and i went off to my tutee's place not too long later. I went home and met up with alison to go bugis and arab street for some quick shopping. Then i rushed off for dinner with my family to celebrate dad's belated birthday at long beach. Indeed an overdose of seafood again!The evening was well spent with key val and prisc and it has been really fun hanging out with them. We had so much laughter, gossips, photo whoring and it certainly made my night. Val has some seriously hilarious antics-the way she imitates stuff and talks about them just cracks me up!
haha..It was great chilling out at clarke quay at night especially after they revamped the place and the area is filled with pretty dazzling lights and pubs/clubs buzzing with activities; people chilling out and catching up, people moving about, people watching and stuff. Well, we settled down at clinic, made ourselves comfortable at some cosy seats and we began chatting, drinking our margaritas and watching the world go by. It just felt so good feeling so relaxed. The girls were definitely wonderful company:) ..Shall upload the photos once key send them over.
Anyway its running late now and im still wide awake. I cant seem to get to sleep. Maybe i have been thinking too much. I dont know. But these are thoughts that have been running through my mind. sigh! Perhaps i should just off the lights and get to sleeep. It's sunday..

2007-03-18T22:42:00.000+08:00

so today was spent at church and out with mom at city hall area. We had lunch and shared this really delicious red bean dessert at HK cafe. Yums! A 60 bucks damage was done at zara but i was just so in love with the flora tube top that i couldnt resist the temptation! And it was also the last piece so that sort of confirmed my decision. yay yay and there were sales everywhere, including warehouse!! But dear mom was in a rush so we could only afford 2 hrs plus of shopping. I shall go back there with alison on saturday!

mom dearest with our awesome dessert.

2007-03-18T00:36:00.000+08:00

my baby cant get any cuter.

hes here to wish you goodnight!
i wuff <3 little trevor.

2007-03-18T00:20:00.000+08:00

Just came home from shin's party and im so tired. But yay to the fact that tomorrow's sunday.

Anyway friendster sucks, i love face book.

i really dont like it when young girls act like they are dying to grow up, you can tell from the way they dress, apply thick make-up, basically whatever to make them appear older superficially. Its funny how desires become vice versa as you get older. Well, as for myself, I wish i could turn back time and return to (add your number)-teen years old. I dont want twenty-(add your number) With age comes wisdom, responsibility and basically all that adds more stress to life. I dont mind getting older but not that fast please so young boys and girls, do treasure your uniform days. I miss it so much:(

Reality hits me hard..

2007-03-16T23:26:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was really fun!! the e2 + c3 + a few of us(and altogether, a headcount of 21!) came together and spent a few hours whipping up 21 dishes for shin to celebrate her 21st. There were all kinds of finger food and i helped to do stir fry 3 dishes. Cat even baked a yummy cheese cake for her and it was really impressive! So anyway daphne lured her out for movie in the evening(while we spent the time working our asses off at the kitchens)and only came back around 11ish but just in time to receive our surprise. Shin was pleasantly surprised by the neat spread of dishes laid before her and the 21 candles that spelt her name. We made her play twister along with yanfang and cindy and till a point they were all at some very awkward positions, they were made to play uno stacko! Anyway, the birthday girl was saboed as the loser and had to gulped down a pot of rose syrup drink in 21 seconds. Being her usual self, shin was game enough for it!

The night saw us spending hours chatting, munching away and played taboo. Taboo was hilarious, i think i laughed too much..everyone was just very funny in their own way..hahaa

so heres one instance:

questionaire: what is the white stuff you put on your face early in the morning when you wash up?

one said: facial foam?

nopee.

another said: whitening cream?

nopee.

the other said: face gel?
nopee.

weizhen: SEMEN!!

errrrrrrr

hahaha. anyway i took several pictures and my phone battery just have to die off even before the birthday girl came!! what a waste!!

i like the glow of this

2007-03-15T10:37:00.000+08:00

so many march babies this month, its ven's birthday today!
its shin's birthday tomorrow
and claire's birthday in 3 days time..
Well, ive been eating loads of junk its time i do some exercise, im a 49.5kg worth of lard now..so obese..
but anyway lets sidetrack for a while, i love childhood food like beebee and wangwang, cant stop munching on it!! its simply addictive.
Last week was a hell week, probably the worst week of my life. I dont think ive any more tears to shed for now. But im glad things are picking up and everything's starting to fall into place again, Thank you good lord. And thank you dear buddies for being there, for hearing me out, for buying me stuff to cheer me up, for the hugs, for the heart-heart talks, for all the love. You guys know who you're and i love yall.
Oh yes, Jialin, gillian and i had fun bathing yesterday; we were busy splashing water at each other from our cubicles, and to a point it got me jumping nakedly in an exasperation to create bigger and and more impactful splashes. Welll,we should have more of such bathing sessions frequently, it makes boring affairs exciting!! HAHA
alright, ive labour assignment due tomorrow to be done, byebye for now:)

2007-03-12T19:46:00.000+08:00

HAPPY 21ST ALISON LOH!!

with the hallpeeps who were at your party..

yesyes happy birthday!i know we have labour test tomorrow(and my test and deadline today) but being the good friend i am, i have decided to take some time off to dedicate this entry to you. Your rojak school of rock party was a blast and im glad you enjoyed yourself thoroughly. Yes as ive written in the card, our friendship has been around for 14 years and counting and im glad that we grew even closer over the recent years. Thank YOU for being my wonderful and loudest neighbour, my demanding econs mate, my happening hallmate, my impulsive shopaholic girlfriend and a crazy funloving buddy and confidant! We have too many things and friends in common i doubt ill ever lose you in the rest of my life. Im blessed that our paths in life crossed and i want to tell you that im appreciating the friend in you more and more! Yes ive witnessed you through all your major changes/transitions in life and guess what!im looking forward to growing old with you! haha, sounds romantic right, but yes i love ya buddy! :) lets live together in the same area again when we're married with kids...haha

2007-03-08T16:59:00.000+08:00

down with 3 midterms, well 3 more to go!
i realised there are only 2 months of school left before we have our annual 3 months holidays. yayy i feel like travelling but i need to work too. There are so many march babies and all of them are turning 21! Happy birthday Ven, Abby, claire, Juan, nana and alison! several parties to look forward to and im anticipating neighbour alison's, and its really convenient because i do not need to travel. Getting home late at night can be quite a hassle; flagging the cab and all the midnight surcharge crap.
I think im very deprived of sleep, so much so that im having a bad headache and i feel nauseous. I have been sleeping at like 5,6am and waking up before 9am. And i know i cant sleep now because tuition's in an hour's time and if i doze off, thats it, i wont be able to wake up in time.
Head's still spinning and im leaving.

2007-03-08T01:50:00.000+08:00

sigh
im uber stressed, drowning in the huge pile of workload im left to complete.
i want to go home.

2007-03-06T10:22:00.000+08:00

you know, my room was invaded by another flying cockroach last night. And he just had to chose my room of all rooms. i think im the most humji one around when it comes to cockroachs, i mean can they get anymore disgusting? It simply spoils my entire night seeing the sight of one, but thanks to nehbud+barry who saved me from it and willingly accepted me into her room and we all studied till the wee hours of the morning(though half of the time was spent talking, eating junk and coming up with corny jokes). so fun!
ive 7 webcasts to watch in 3 days. 3.5 done-im halfway!! its really tiring watching webcast when the lecturer beats around the bush and you have to listen really hard to catch the main points. Its like combing a forest in search of a treasure you know. ha, what a weird analogy. But anyway, im back to my webcast. Hope to complete the rest of it today!
i love my neighbours namely zes, key and gill. I think they are significantly important presence to me in hall; for keeping me company, for always being there and hearing me out when things go wrong. For always coming to my room to make their presence felt and make me feel loved. :)

2007-03-05T01:51:00.000+08:00

oh, just give me a break.

//

on a lighter note, retail therapy!!

bought a cute tee from top shop. Its rather pricey but well, it was love at first sight..and the quality is way better than junkfood tees anyway, so why not.

this was such a steal..13 bucks from dorothy perkins..

all these grabbed within an hr plus or so of rush shopping. The circumstance of a shopping-deprived woman.

Now, back to webcasting.

2007-03-03T16:15:00.000+08:00

i feel so depressed..
the past week flew by and it has been a flurry of events, ups and downs and a rollercoast ride.
now im just looking ahead, hoping for a better week to come.
GAWD.
it doesnt help the fact that theres so much work to be done and so little time to complete them and its not like im doing anything about it:(

but mom's been nice, she got me a new laptop and a pretty phone..
it makes me feel bad for screwing up my microecons midterms..argh

talk about being helpless and hopeless.

anyway, i should stop procrastinating and get some work done.

2007-02-22T21:06:00.000+08:00

yay see, i edited my previous post; so i cancelled my membership and made a wee bit of loss but nontheless, it was the right move. yay to a more resolute decision made and thank God for people like tor, jan and joanne who offered wise advice and persuaded me to drop the deal.
haha met up with my ny teammates today and venetia gave us some fortune cookies to munch on. And my message was "what you have lost will soon be found" haha, how apt. We are having a reunion dinner with coach next week and its been a while since i last seen her so a part of me is anticipating but another part of me feeling fearful. And we were talking about it and i realised my teammates all feel that way too. haha, our dear coach has always been intimidating.
well, too much playing over the past few days, ive done no work and well, its time i start mugging because midterms start next week.damn

2007-02-21T21:35:00.000+08:00

gosh i had a super bad day!
DAMNIT. i know money is hard to come by and it feels like i just threw a large sum out of my window today
~~firstly, i made a harsh decision and went ahead signing up for a membership at fitness first~~
next, the careless me went to book a driving slot today thinking it was for tomorrow and who knows, it was for today. i just realised it and im so pissed with myself. No wonder i tried to cancel the slot earlier and i couldnt..
my heart's aching:(
i need to be more careful with my expenses, im such a klutz.
arggghhhhh

2007-02-21T00:23:00.000+08:00

we found a new toy for trevor!

the toy looks like him with just a difference in colour and size

trevor stares at him at times. Its like looking at the mirror with the image being shrunk..

my mum LOVES him and likes to carry him like a baby.. Trevor is currently the biggest joy in my family:)

Of festivals and celebrations

2007-02-18T13:03:00.000+08:00

2007-02-09T22:34:00.000+08:00

i miss home..

2007-02-02T09:31:00.000+08:00

Hello all, im officially 21!! i feel old but i guess its just another number. Some of the hall peeps had a mini "surprise" birthday celebration for me last night(though zes accidentally read out tor's message over lunch and gave it away..haha) and we tried the sinfully awfully chocolate cake! Nice!! Thanks to the bf for going all the way to town to get it:)
Anyway, this has been a quite terrible week because i missed 3 lectures. 1 for match and the other 2 out of laziness. Bleah. I think i didnt even skip 3 lectures last semester so im crossing my fingers for this sem. I need to buck up!!! Theres just so much to catch up on and the seconds are ticking away and i know the semester will come and go by real quickly like every other sem.
Anyway im posting some pictures of the bball finals..i love the photos taken by the hall's photo com; the resolution is damn good!

2007-01-27T23:05:00.000+08:00

YES LA! we won!! Twas a close shave;we won by 1point.
Nevertheless, im really happy!! yayyy
Got myself some ugly bruises at the knee but its worth it alright:)
Shall blog some pictures of the team soon..
Thank you Lord.
And it was good having a prayer with shin before the match and i felt more composed after that.
God's grace is amazing, thats why its amazing grace.
Turning in early tonight,goodnight world!

2007-01-27T01:05:00.000+08:00

I have been running around the entire day and i feel so tired!!
Anyway, tomorrow's bball finals and we are facing the sea of orange. Haha hope their support is not too overwhelming. And hope everything goes well for us:)
Blogging from tor's laptop cos mine's down and i think its quite permanent.
Only a couple of days before i enter adulthood:(
And after tomorrow, ill get down to some serious studying..i promise.

FAITH

2007-01-24T04:59:00.000+08:00

Gosh i should be sleeping now but i am still wide awake. This is pretty rare of me because my sleeping hour is close to 12 but its already 5am!! It has been a busy day with training and meeting and its going to be a longer day ahead with both of that and tuition! I was reminded of my new year resolutions a while ago and i realised i am not acheiving any of it. Oh dear, i think i seriously need to do something about it. Anyway, there's something significant to blog about today and that is key and i walked all the way back from science fac to hall today after our general bio lessons! For your information, that's 6 bus stops apart. But we visited bazaars in between! And Amazingly, the very deprived shopaholics(from the lack of time to hit town) over here still derive much joy from school bazaars and in fact, many pretty things caught our attention!!haha cheap thrills:) All in all, it was a really relaxing walk, something much needed amidst the packed schedule of ours. And i love the way we just kept talking like there's no tomorrow and the distance didnt seem that long at all. See, nothing is unbearable with great company:)

2007-01-19T01:41:00.000+08:00

sometimes it just feels really depressing seeing the ugly sides of people and the world in general.
nothing much really makes me genuinely happy these days.
everyday as i stepped in my room, i heaved a sigh of relief cos its finally the time of the day when i get to rest.
My 21st is around the corner and im just too busy to even plan for a party. Many considerations: some of my closest friends are abroad. my mum probably has to spend quite a bit. having cliques of people to mingle around with each other may be quite a huge problem. the clash of date with an ihg match. im too busy to properly plan for one. the settling of food,place,invites etc etc. anyway, the list goes on.
argh if only i was born later then probably i wouldnt dread the fact that my birthday is nearing and im not looking forward to it at all, or at least for now.
anyway im feeling down and pessismistic and i blame it on pms.
And i miss home.

2007-01-13T22:33:00.000+08:00

hello world:)
settling the exchange stuff can get really fustrating!! whats with the transfer of credits, the european credit system, half term nonsense, availability of courses subjected to the season of the yr, and worse still, course descriptions are in swedish!!!!! im having a difficult time making sense of everything and i think id better call up the nus econs coordinator on monday.
anyway, ive hardly updated this cyberspace of mine and as usual im going to blame it on my very packed schedule; school has started and im taking 6 modules this semester plus all the ihg matches and trainings. i think i really overload myself this semester. Oh!! we're facing the bananas tomorrow..haha think yellow. i dont only want to win them but i hope we will win them by a large margin. we will we will we will.
And i started my first tuition assignment for the year which is not too shabby considering the distance(at dover!)from school and the pay's pretty reasonable for market rate. so yeahyeah, hope ill be disciplined enough to save more so that ill be able to travel to some parts europe during exchange and ya im dying to step into paris!! Steph showed me her photos of touring europe(she went to 7 parts by the way!!)and the scenery there is a.w.e.s.o.m.e. even plain majestic buildings there speak wonders of beauty. goshh,someone fly me there now!!!!
And ya, sch has just started and ive a submission on monday. wth man? anyway, ive better get down to settling my exchange stuff and get some work done. Hopefully, ill get to update here more often..

2007-01-08T01:58:00.000+08:00

My application for sep is successful and its a double joy because its Lund University together with zes!! Shiping and Huimin are also heading there too!! I almost jumped up the ceiling when i saw my application status! What great news to start a new sem with. I just hope that all other procedures would fall into place and dear Sweden, here we comeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee:)

suddenly, my life dont seem that mundane afterall.

2007-01-07T10:30:00.000+08:00

so adorable!

2007-01-03T01:22:00.000+08:00

several ups and downs for the new year..
UPS:
quite a few answered prayers..Thank God!!
Darrel has been coaching the team and i really appreciate his efforts and time as he has his own ihg and ivp games/trgs too!
Disappointed intially that huihui cant play for us but now my junior has decided to stay.
Weather for today's training was great!
Received a call from a tuition agency regarding a really promising and potential assignment(just hoping ill clinch it now)

Feel loved and remembered by close girl friends whom i Thank God for because what will i do without them right!! especially zes, becks, key, jan, steph!!
And thanks steph sweets for sending a surprise all the way from US..victoria secret's bathing package! Its the thought that matters so much you know.
Felt so touched reading zes's xmas card. bestfriends love*
Also received another card for xmas which was one of the sweetest ever received.
And the rest: key. my new found love in 2006:))
becks: what would uni life be without you man.
jan: thanks for the friend i found in you. I hope i can be there for you during both gd and bad times. hugz.

and of course, there are the downs which i feel like leaving out for now. but anyway, lovely memories are meant to be remembered and kept.

ihg bball starts tomorrow. Hope it begins with a bang:)

Think About His Love
Think about His love,think about His goodness.
Think about His grace that's brought us through.
For as high as the heavens above,so great is the measure of our Father's love.
Great is the measure of our Father's love.

2007-01-01T17:05:00.000+08:00

Happy New Year!!
Mine was quite well spent. I went to church with mum in the morning and its been a long time since a worship service really touched me. I enjoyed the service thoroughly and it was all good; mainly reflecting on the goodness of God and his blessings unto me in the past year. It made me realise that God's grace has been evident in my life in many ways. I really dont deserve it.
Anyway, i had lunch with mum and brother at our fave chicken rice place in commonwealth before i went home for a short nap. After a short half an hr or so, I dragged myself out of bed to meet ty and later key&barry. We watched charlotte's web and headed to nydc for dinner&desserts. We wanted to go to loof to chill out but it was full house!! And then we tried new asia bar which was quite packed too and the coverage was already 50 per head. What a pity!! These 2 bars have gorgeous views overlooking the city area of Singapore..especially the later!!!! But nevermind anyway, we just wanted a place to sit and chill out so we checked out chijmes and settled for le baroque. The music was rocking good! And douglas O band was there to entertain. Flying dutchman was in the house too. We photowhored, drank, chilled out, enjoyed the music and danced to our hearts content. And it was definitely embarassing having to be called up on stage by douglas O to do something stupid. i thought my 1st and last of such moments were at TH bash where i was made to catwalk with shades!! Haha..well, alright, all in the name of fun:)
Anyway, we reached back close to 5 before i hit the sack soon after i bathed. What a great night with awesome company! Thanks babe and dudes!! haha

2006-12-31T01:37:00.000+08:00

Time for a change of blogskin. Blue grey and white..what a neat colour combi rightttt:)
so anyway,i shall stay hopeful for the coming year and accomplish my 9 listed resolutions(though key and tianyou conveniently added 2 for me..but nope nope, not counted:p)
And i suddenly remember that few years back, i was still using my fave line at the end of the yr. "Happy New Year, Pull Your Ear".
Gosh, how time flies and i think ive since grown a lot since then-sideways, upwards but definitely more mature too:D
AHHHHHHH today's the last day of 2006, so anyway have a happy&blessed 2007, my dear friends..

2006-12-29T19:59:00.000+08:00

haha trevor brought so much fun and joy to my friends in hall:)) im really glad to have him around for these few days.
so the year's coming to an end and there's so much to reflect upon for the past year but i think ive acheived miminal hence before the new year begins, i shall make some resolutions and ill check back on 31st dec '07. The resolutions to be made are probably unaccomplished in 2006 so let's hope for a better year ahead..
*drumrolls*
My 2007 resolutions:
1) to draw closer to God and be consistent in my QT
2) to raise my pathetic cap score and do well in my core modules
3) to read @least 2 books per month
4) to lose some weight(5kg would be good haha)
5) to call home more
6) to be a better and dependable friend
7) to take part in more marathons
8) to get my license(i was at the last subject alr and i havent gone driving for months. argh)
8) to not do things half heartedly(this is impt)

i think that's all..i mean, it will be good enough if i can acheive all these. Well we shall see..

2006-12-27T19:59:00.000+08:00

i feel so numbed and empty:(
days like these should come and leave quickly...

2006-12-26T00:48:00.000+08:00

Christ was born on xmas day:))
The past few days have gone by real quickly. Lets recall- hong's party, yiwen&shiping's party, church, dinner with april, out with ty, dinner and chilling out with wyman&joanne, dinner with qy, arif and zes, stayed home for steamboat dinner and xmas countdown at orchard..
Its been enjoyable as i get to spend it with the important few of my life. Well, family xmas dinner was a quiet affair this year and we had steamboat at home for xmas eve dinner. It was simple but it felt more cosy. And my mum bought me a watch for my xmas present and it came as a huge surprise to me because this was the first time she has ever bought me something for xmas. I think ill treasure it alot.
Orchard was too packed last night and it didnt help that rowdy youngsters were flooding the streets with foam from their snow spray. Cheapthrillcheapthrill. But after a while, it was quite fun getting sprayed and soapy:)
Trainings resume tomorrow. argh. And trevor is here to stay with me for 5 days. Hope he doesnt get too bored and lonely:(
Many random thoughts clouding my mind now..my oh my why do i feel so puzzled?

2006-12-21T19:02:00.000+08:00

the sky has been overcast the past few days, raining elephants and buffaloes.
i jus love the rain. but ironically, rain does make me sad in some unknown ways. It makes me think alot and sometimes, i just get really moody.
i love the chilly feeling that the weather brings. It makes you want to stay indoors and be all cosy under the thick warm blanket.
anyway im so not done with xmas shopping..been busy with trainings and just today alone, i had 3 trgs! since it has been raining the past few days, lets jus hope it wont wash away the christmas atmostphere..xmas is a joyous occasion! wellwell, anyway im really looking forward to the dinner with my dearest jc pals! just waiting for zes to get ready and off we go:)
the new year is fast approaching and its once again the time to set new resolutions, though they are seldom met. sigh.so my biggest resolution for 2007 shall be to materialise all my other resolutions! perhaps ill list em down here soon.
ihg is coming too and i feel im not fit enough. Hope it will be a good season for TH.
alright. logging off:)

2006-12-16T13:19:00.000+08:00

well apparently, the results leaked last night! And i managed to view mine(the site is down today!!) and once again, my cap went down by 0.2 ..i guess if thats my actual results im pretty satisfied with it as i have really low expectations this sem..my grades were in a range of A-B-C. Got a C for my macro which was quite expected...ill just try to work harder next semester if i want to go for honours and i hope hall commitments would be much lighter by then. I think ive overload myself with too many positions this sem but ill give my best anyway:)

I have trained the past week away-handball bball netball and each has 3 training days per week. And its only a week's training and ive bad muscles strains and aches already.eek

It was wyman's social night yesterday.And it was quite an eye opener and i met candice who was my long lost primary sch bestfriend! We caught up quite a bit!! And wyman's lucky; he took the draw no for me and i won the 2nd prize creative zen! And he didnt go home empty handed as he received a even more prestigious award!!

Im looking forward to key's planned bbq party. It costs $25 and according to her, it will be a seafood bbq so it better be good nehbud!!!!

some long overdue pictures:::

he calls me a cookie monster and i think im really one, just hidden in a human body..

CABLE SKIING DAY

Grabbed from key. Random random. And i like the 2nd shot we took with cheonghua!

Looking high far and wide. Clockwise, me, key, tor and kevin

Key and i having our usual share of crazy time..

im a great photographer!

doing what she does best:p

cable skiing was fun!!

some of us!

my favourite time of the year:)

2006-12-11T20:13:00.000+08:00

This morning before we headed for cableskiing, we went to ecp hawker for breakfast. The place was rather empty until the big group of us filled the place with matter and noise. There was only one stall which was opened(there was this old man mending this particular wanton mee stall. )Anyway, some of them got their orders real fast and found seats almost immediately to fill their already famished stomachs with the yummy looking wanton mee.The rest of us gave our orders, stood in the queue and spent the rest of the waiting time chit-chating away, all excited and in anticipation bout the day's events. Then, all of a sudden and as we least expected, the old man let out a yell and before we knew it, he collapsed to the ground with a loud thud. ( I happened to be there to witness him struggle a bit before he landed on the ground and succumbed to darkness). I shivered and remained rooted to the spot till i realised the situation was quite bad and i moved away from the sight of the old man who was then lying on the floor of his stall, absolutely unconscious. Some of the guys plucked their courage and tried to revive the old man. Brave whelan tried to do mouth-mouth cpr on the man and the others tried to feel his heartbeat(which apparently had stopped after a while). The rest of us jus stayed outside the stall, constantly taking peeps of the stall to check if things were improving. But somehow, it doesnt seem so because the old man's face jus started to turn purple. I never came so close to witnessing something like that before. I felt really helpless then but also really afraid at the same time. Anyway, the guys continued to be by his side until the ambulance came, which we felt, was a tad too late(hello?? it took em around 20mins to get to the place). We watched closely as the paramedics put him on the stretcher and rushed him into the ambulance. And then the siren was heard as the sight of the ambulance gradually diminished.
Talked to isabelle who said she prayed hard for the old man. True enough, in times like this, humans are beyond control of the situation. only God.
Like ive always said, life is fragile and vulnerable. Who knows what may happen the next minute? I love my family and friends so much so please stay close and lets treasure whatever we have now.

2006-12-10T23:55:00.000+08:00

i brought little trevor for a walk at the botanical gardens yesterday and boy, was the scenary there beautiful:)

AND...

this box of yummy donuts arrived at my doorsteps today...thanks april dear!! for hand carrying it all the way from melbourne to here.yums!!

hello! :)Havent been updating because ive been busy going out! The coming weeks would be even more hectic with the start of ihg trainings. I have been going out a lot lately, in fact everyday in the past week since exams ended-half marathon with jan, ktving with ty key max stace, out with key to chinatown, out with ty to vivocity and town, bugis and city hall area with alison, blading with jan... And since ive conquered most of shopping areas, its of no surprise that ive burnt a big hole in my pocket and my savings are fast depleting. argh! And thats why ive been desperately looking for tuition jobs online but ive yet to find a suitable one.
Im still really stressed over finding a coach for the team. Replies have been negative and its just absolutely demoralising considering there are only a few days left to the first training. Okay im jus praying hard the guys would be able to coach the team...please please.
And im quite sure i wouldnt be staying in hall after next semester. Life can get pretty mundane after a while; like being too absorbed into hall stuff and leaving me absolutely clueless about the world outside. Its as if the world revolves around hall and nothing else. I miss meeting up with my friends outside and i miss home at times. But i know for sure, ill miss living in close proximity to my dear friends in hall and having their lovely company 24/7. If im home and if i get my license, perhaps my parents will let me drive to school. And i can take care of little trevor. And i can have so much more time to God, myself and my loved ones. And i can eat home cooked food and live in the comfort of my cosy room. AHH theres always the good and the bad side and so we shall see...
Anyway i brought home ty's laptop(thanks dear!) cos my lappy died on me. big fat damn. And now i dont know what i should do and i dont even know whether there is a dell service centre in sg. argh. anyone knows?
I received my first christmas card yesterday, all the way from Western Australia. Thanks Lindy!!! Its always nice to be remembered, especially during the season of love:) and even more so from a dear friend faraway.
Ive pigging out a lot and i think ill go for a run later. And ill bring little trevor out for a nice walk. Then its lunch with ty and ill hit the fashion bazaar with alison later. And dinner with my family. Thats my itinery for today.
i cant wait for xmas...

I finished the 21.1km race today!! Though my timing's really pathetic;i clocked a total of 2h 41mins. haha but i went to the toliet twice and stopped by waterpoints 7 times and i walked this stretch cos i was having cramps in my legs. Still, im gladddd i completed it and i aim to improve my timing next year!! Jan ran really well; she has superb stamina for a non xcty runner..great job girl!!!!!!! Anyway, i was on the verge of giving up at the 18km mark. Gawd!! The last 2km felt like eternity and it was long before the finishing line was within sight. Thank God i persevered. It was sure an accomplishment, ill be back next year:)
So anyway some runners put this tag on their backs and it consists of their reasons for joining the race. There was like "DIET" , "cos chics dig in marathon runners", "for the laksa at the end of the race", "you didnt pay to come here to walk", and this other woman who was running at an uber slow speed had this picture of a turtle. haha..so during the race, i was quite entertained checking out their silly tags.
And now, im just lazing in my bed, resting my body aches and ive got bad muscle pains at my calves. Well, its nice to do nothing at times and just relax and have no worries in mind.

2006-12-02T23:12:00.000+08:00

hello. whats up with the new blogger??? can anyone enlighten me with the new features??
anyways..the run is tomorrow!! And if i complete it, it will be the longest dist i ever ran in a day. Hope ill survive it, its been the longest time since i last exercised. Told you, this exam period was bad. With so many deadlines to meet jus a week before exams started, with shallow preparation for the papers, and having them all cramped within a week plus a lack of exercise and too much reliance on myself and not God, everything just sucked for me. Im depressed:(
But im looking forward to this week. Many shopping trips to look forward to though im so extremely broke. Oh yes! if anyone is kind enough to introduce me to any tuition jobs, it will be good:)
im going to do some online shopping now..

2006-12-01T01:34:00.000+08:00

exams are over for me. But it didnt end off with a good note cos for my last paper(which is also my worst module), i made a real careless mistake which cost me 40marks. Shit happens when you jump into doing a question, assuming you understand it completely and is certain of getting full marks for it. gosh. and sighh. It was just so bad and well........too bad for me:(
This sem's exams' been really really horrible. Nasty nasty. I think it will screw my whole cap, like totally. Shall just hope for the best huh.
Its times like this when i feel so lousy about myself and my confidence hit rock bottom.
Okay...on a brighter note, exams have ended and it means that the december hols' here..
I love december, and i guess it has largely got to do with christmas. I love everything about xmas-from church celebration to carols to prayers to hymns to xmas lightings to nice xmas dinners to everything red green silver and joyous. my arms are wide open to welcome this favourite season of mine!
More happy thoughts please.

2006-11-23T13:53:00.000+08:00

oh my i feel so sick of studying, though im still far from done. SIGH im suffering from information overload especially after studying only one chapter of econs. I shall persevere!! anyway its just a few more days. Oh. but there is something to look forward to later-HAPPYFEET!! i shall do some work after this so it will be a well deserving break for me:)

i think my neighbours are heavy sleepers, especially my nehbud, she wakes up in the evening. weird? But come to think of it, most of my friends are like that too! guess im the abnormal one huh? i can sleep in the morning and wake up 4 hours later. perhaps that also explains why i feel im suffering from information overload. geez.

standard charter run's in a week time. And i havent been running. tsktsk hope ill make it. JAN!! Let do it slow!!! :O

**edit**
my tutee has A*s for maths and science, A for english!! YAY!!!!!

the legendary laksa from arts canteen which will be sadly closed for a semester...

my room on neat days:D

this is my family photo taken years ago:)

my sweet cousin whos only 4 but is a flowergirl for the 5th time!
check out her pretty curly locks...

with my brother whos trying to look all retarded..haha
on our way to the wedding dinner..

very random photos taken with my phone....

its raining heavily. Just the perfect weather to sleep in!.. too bad i woke up just before the rain started..shall nap no more..returning to my books...

2006-11-20T01:13:00.000+08:00

i feel really depressed now...cos shadows of uncertainty are casted on so many aspects of my life :((
and im really fed up finding a coach and imports for the team..either i get negative replies or i get no replies. what the hell..its really discouraging for a start.
it drives me mad and im in the midst of preparation for exams and i still have to deal with such nonsense.
sigh
anyway i wonder why some friends never fail to ask bout my change in blog addie but they never if not seldom keep in touch with me..and im not talking about acquaintances here..but friends...
it makes me reflect so much on friendships. Is checking out friends' blogs a way to keep in touch? Do you feel so updated with their life and does that draw you close to them? keep in mind some only write the bare miniumum.some keep sorrows to themselves.some only show what they want others to see of them.some keep blogs as a mere outlet to kill time and vent fiery emotions. the list goes on...
blame it on technology.....that what actually thought to bring people closer is actually creating more distance apart..
i guess it doesnt apply to all..but most.
well... i just need a hug at this very moment :(

2006-11-17T22:37:00.000+08:00

"It's the spatial image alone that, by reason of its stability, gives us an illusion of not having changed through time and of retrieving the past in the present. But that's how memory is defined. Space alone is stable enough to endure without growing old or losing any of its parts."-Maurice Halbwachs

I was doing my research for my gem essay and i came across a new term: wapanese

Wapanese

“Wapanese” are decidedly caucasian individuals who, by means of thoroughly warped postmodern acculturation processes, have come to the decision that it is in their best interest to act as if they were denizens of the nation of Japan. The term “wapanese” can be accurately though of as an analog to wigger. A whitey can be classified as a “Wapanese” if they are in possession of two or more of the following defining traits:1. Has an unhealthy obsession with shallow, saccharine and intellectually insulting animation shows (also refered to as anime by the nerd elite) originally tailored for young Japanese children2. Operates under the erroneous belief that every aspect of American culture is vastly inferior to that of Japan’s – even though 99.9% of Wapanese have never had firsthand experience of any sort with their preferred culture (in other words, they’ve never set so much as one foot upon the island(s) of Japan)3. Halfheartedly studies Japanese language and/or is a part-time practitioner of martial arts4. Has a sword (samurai swords only, of course) collection5. Is a Virgin6. May be afflicted with a terminal case of yellow fever; however, they constantly fail in their quest for Japanese pootytang7. Extreme cases may traipse around whilst wearing a “costume” that makes them resemble their favorite anime characters (this practice is reffered to as cosplay; cross-dressing and raging homosexuality is not an uncommon component of cosplay.Interestingly, Wapanese are generally though of as “failures” and rejects within their own culture. Social scientists such as myself speculate that it was their failure to gain acceptance within their own culture than has lead many a white geek to seek out Japan’s culture as a surrogate; however, they’d be shattered to know that the insular and somewhat racist Japanese society would be even less accepting of them than the people of their true and native culture.

Wapanese munch on imported Pocky and wash it down with a bottle of Pocari Sweat.

Are you a wapanese?

I just added all my receipts and i realised it tallied to a sum of $167.
@#%!@
But Im not feeling a least bit bad about it because it was genuinely retail therapy plus its been a long time since i spent so much on myself.
I love city hall because i get to visit all my fave shops and eat my fave icecream.
I feel so much better, thanks Jan.
I hope you too:)
The next few weeks would be real busy with 6 essay deadlines to meet and not to mention, exams' in a month's time.

Yesterday was good.
Spent the afternoon@ parkway with kingkey; played arcade, shopped around, meddled with halloween toys, ate yummy prawn mee and desserts and behaved like excited children fascinated over kiddish stuff. haha!
Ty gave tuition so when he joined us later, we all headed to night safari. It has been so long since i stepped into that place. The place has been revamped and it was surprisingly chilly over there. I felt so comfortable with the cool breeze caressing my face that i fell asleep halfway through the tram ride :X
Thanks to the kingkey couple that we've got free tix to the zoo! And thanks to merry barry for driving us all around while the rest of us slouched comfortably in the car seats, awaiting for the next destination. HEH
Im glad my nehbor woke me up in the midst of my nap to make me go parkway with them. It was a good break from all the books and tests and crap. But no thanks to her for barging into my room the previous night and taking an unglam picture of me sleeping.*ROARS*
Nevertheless im thankful for my A405 nehbud:)

I am a bit disappointed but thoroughly demoralised.

2006-10-15T21:51:00.000+08:00

Im in mood to blog about a "what i did today" post.. Basically cos im bored now and have nothing better to do..
The day started off at BK with dad and mum. My whole family loves BK brekkie; its ranked first on our brekkie list!

After that, we went to visit my aunt at the hospital before heading to church.

went vivo city with man after church! it was sooo huge but super crowded as well. shall go back and hit the shops soon!
There were silly fake policemen to direct people around the mega mall. But i tell you; the directions given are useless..haha just some gimmicks to lure more people to the already overcrowded place but anyway i think they are really hilarious. I wonder how much they are paid doing this..

Went home in the evening and left for the hospital to visit my aunt again. Then it was grocery shopping with gillian!! finally stocked up my fridge!
