Yay, i finally went out today after a 2 weeks' break. Haha. As mentioned in my previous blog, i left my hse at abt 9, went to kovan's mac for my breakfast and to pass time, then i took a bus down to the national lib and spent more than 2 hrs reading there. Liz msged lay kuan n I to let us know that she'll be late in meeting us cos she's going to see a doc. She ar..... she was down with fever on Mon, but she didn't go see a doc and went to work anyway on Tues. And she finally decided to go see one today. Anyway, i went to meet Lay Kuan and accompanied her to an interview at Katriel's. Have heard of the shop, but wasn't clear on what they sold. The things they sell are not really jewellery. Cos when i think of jewellery i think of stuff they sell at lee hwa and tiffany's. It's more of accessories? Earrings, necklaces. One difference being they are made of semi-precious stones, gemstones. Another significant difference is that they cost a lot more. A pair of earrings can reach $100. But they are semi-precious stones, uniquely designed by qualified designers. So, quite worth it la. And i told lay kuan that if she gets the job, i want to know how much her staff discount is. Haha.

After that, we went to Marina Sq in search of food. Spent a lot of time deliberating over what to eat. And we finally decided on Swensen's. Lay Kuan, who can be considered a big eater, decided to order the petit salad. She didn't believe that the serving size would be small. So she got a shock when she saw it. Haha. It was really petite. Then we ate our ice-creams. I ordered the sticky chewy choc. And it was soo sweet. Liz finally came to meet us after a while, and she ordered ice cream too, despite the fact that she had a cough. After chatting for a while, we went shopping! We actually planned to watch a movie. But Liz met us late, and Kuan was meeting her friends for dinner. So we went shopping instead. I finally bought a pair of shoes! haha. I rarely buy shoes. And they're a real nice pair of no-heel pumps. Liz bought a pair too. Then we went to another shop, where liz got tempted to buy a pair of wedges. They're v nice, and i love the colour! She spent a lot of time deliberating whether to buy them or not when she decided to walk ard and think abt it first. Haha. Felt a little bad towards the sales girl cos she was really nice and helpful.

Then, we went into this shop which was really charming. The wallpaper, decorations were all very Victorian. And the clothes. They have a lot of clothes with lace, and all the trimmings that make a girl feminine. I think Candy would not even want to step into the shop. Haha. But the clothes are all very sweet and feminine, very old victorian type. And they have nice shoes too. Liz bought a pair. Haha.

After that...... we went to PS. Cos kuan was meeting her friends there, and i wanted to go to spotlight to get sth.
Kuan met her friends, i got my stuff. Liz n I bought some bread n cheese outside PS where carrefour was having this French Village thing. Then it was time to go home.

Okay, halfway through this blog, I realised that I haven't blogged like this for quite some time. Describing what i did throughout the day in some details. I guess i was just cooped up at home for too long. A day out like this helped me recover from my brooding. Hah. I'm not like filled with happiness or all that bullshit la, but i'm feeling better. A little.

Living to get the approval of people around me is tiring. More than I ever thought it would be.

You Belong To Me - Jason Wade

See the pyramids along the Nile
Watch the sun rise
From the tropic isle
Just remember, darling
All the while
You belong to me

See the marketplace in old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
Just remember
When a dream appears
You belong to me

And I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle
When it’s wet with rain
Just remember
Till you're home again
You belong to me

And I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too

Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle
When it’s wet with rain
Just remember
Till you're home again
You belong to me

I love the simplicity of this song. Not so much of the lyrics, but the tune, and the simple, lonely sounding guitar. It's from the Shrek soundtrack, so it shouldn't be too unfamiliar to most ppl.3


There's going to be a electricity cut in my block of flats later todat from 0830 to 1730. So I'll have to wake up at 8 bathe, then perhaps go to the lib or sth. Cos i definitely cannot stand being at home without fan or aircon. I'll die of boredom and heat. Luckily i'm going out with liz n laykuan...

After reading Lay Kuan's blog, I have a question to ask. How many hours in our entire live, do we spend waiting? People who go to work daily or basically go out, by public transport have to wait for the bus, or train for at least 10mins (added up) everyday. The bus, especially. If there's a traffice jam during the peak hours, or an accident happened, the waiting might go on for half an hour or more. And just how many traffic jams will one be caught in in a lifetime?

We also spend time waiting for people. I spend a lot of time doing that. Haha, i'm not making any personal attacks, i'm just saying what I have experienced. Anyway, Singaporeans are famous for being late. Males and females alike. Pls stop saying that the females are always late. Cos most guys I know can be late for more than 10mins. I'm not going to make any comments about how I cannot imagine how some people are always late for 15mins and above.

We also wait for more than a dozen other things. Christians wait for the Lord's coming. We wait for food to be cooked, esp when we eat outside. We wait for a movie to start, a performance to begin. We wait for bothersome commercials to be over while watching tv prog. We wait for the red man to turn to the green man before crossing the road. The list is neverending. Everyday, we encounter new things to wait for.

Life, is all about waiting..

Yay, I'm finally online. I've been trying for the past few days in vain.

Until now, i still do not have much to say. haha. I lead a very boring life. Met SiTing while crossing the road on my way home from church on Sun. She was with this guy... her bf? hehe. Anyway, she seemed to be in a hurry, and she sms-ed me a while later. I have met quite a few of my old friends coincidentally this holiday. Vincent, SiTing, Esmond, Jane and Yuet Yee.

Okay, i don't have much to say already. Went to work on both Mon n today, which is tues. Woke up late this morning, so i took a cab down. Spent $15 on that. Reached there at abt 0845 and found Alice slping there. Haha. Okay, that's all i hafta say. Haha.

THis is such a big diff from what used to be. I could write long blogs abt what i did during the day. But now, I just no longer have the mood to do it. And i no longer have the "want" to talk abt what's making me unhappy. And I have been. Some. I can't really say what's making me unhappy, i just don't feel, you know, happy. I rarely feel like this. Okay, mayb some of my friends will say that I have a "smelly" face quite a few times. But i was juz fedup at some things or at least i was unhappy at something or someone. Now, i am truly unhappy n i don't know y. I feel that i don't have anybody i can truly talk to.

Okay, i sound like i'm self-pitying myself again. Heh.

I want to be able to act and live without having to worry abt what others think of me.

Yay, my sister finally uploaded the photos we took in Bangkok...

Our once in 10yrs family photo..
Have you ever seen such a BIG pepper grinder?
My sis n I on the plane there..




My mother n I..

Nth much happening these few days. Feeling super bored at home.

Went to Compass point after tuition on Tues to buy some things. And coincidentally, met Lay Kuan. been a long time since we've chatted, so we stood where we met and started talking abt a lot of things. Haha. I think we chatted for more than 30mins. Looking forward to going out with liz n her.

Esmond came to coffee club on Wed with his gf while i was working. I can only sae he hasn't changed at all. Haha. Bth him.

That's all i have to sae. V short right. This is e first time i'm having such a short entry. Just don't have the mood to talk abt mundane things.

My mother was juz talking abt cockroaches with my sis. And i really wonder y we are so scared of them. I mean, they have not done anything to scare us. Beetles too. I absolutely hate beetles, esp the sound they make when they land. That click click sound. Makes my heart pound like mad. Okay, anyway, y are we so afraid of them? I don't think anybody taught me or my sis to be scared of them. We have nv watched horror movies abt giant roaches or anything like that, my mother has nv displayed any fear of them before, certainly not my dad. It's like, usually ppl have to learn e way abt some things, like being careful of hot water, fires, etc. But cockroaches?? To put it objectively, they are just insects. An animal. But my hair always stands when i see one near me. At least i don't scream n run to another room when i see one like my sis. Haha. I only run when itz a flying cockroach.

Another thing, i can accept it if God wanted to create cockroaches. But why did he decide to make them so resistant to death? They can survive w/o a head. The thought of seeing one juz makes me wanna squirm. What if it's a flying headless cockroach? haha. Imagine that. My sis will scream her head off.

Actually, cockraoches shld be sth familiar to us right? We've seen them all our lives, since we were young. Every house would at least have a cockroach. So y on earth are we so afraid of them? I rmb i didn't use to be so scared of them when i was younger. It was as i grew older that my fear got greater. Mayb my sis influenced me or sth.

Okay, think that's all for my fear of cockroaches theory. Feeling abit tired now. But i don't have to wake up early tmr. So itz okay.

Yay. Just went out with joselin, elvina n corrin to town.

Went to coffee club to meet them cos all 3 of them were working. Haha. Went to eat long john's after buying the movie tickets. It was super cold, the air con was blowing v cold air out that even made e tissue somersault. Haha. Watched the 40 yr old virgin, a co*k of a show. Pun fully intended. Seriously, the show was crazy. And the ending, nth can beat that, man. U'll have to watch it to fully understand the co*kness of the show. haha.

Saw the trailer for the show Transporter 2. Super shiok. I love the car man. And that Jason guy seemed cool. I'll watch the show juz for the car alone. Ha. But Transporter 1 wasn't that nice. So... dunno. Depends on whether there's sb to accompany me. Heh.

After the movie we went to nydc to have a drink. And, u noe what. The movie was screened in the same theatre as the one where i watch corpse bride last Fri. And the seat we sat in nydc was the same as the one i sat at last Fri too. So qiao3 right. Ha. Sat in nydc for abt an hr b4 leaving.

Corrin was quite high tonight. Haha. But i hope she's okay n we managed to cheer her up la. Just make the decision that will make u happy.

Had fun tonight. Now that i think abt it, i don't really feel like quitting when i start sch. Quite she3 bu4 de2 them.. Think i shld be able to juggle my schedule la right.

I am very bored!! Super, extremely bored.Ppl who might be yearning for some free time off either from work or studies might want to kill me when they see this, but seriously, I'm bored. This haven't happened to me in a long time. I have no idea y i feel like this. in the past i could always find sth to occupy my time. But now, i seriously have nth to do. I've done everything on my to-do list for today by 2pm. So starting from that time, i was starting to look for things to do. Wanted to play games online, but the com kept hanging. So there goes my plan. There isn't anything nice on tv right now, somehow i don't really feel motivated to read a novel right now, and there isn't anybody online that i really want to talk to. So i really don't know what to do. In abt an hr's time i'll try to go slp, but i don't know if i'll be able to.

Somebody, help me!!!

Went to my ahma's hse on Sun. None of my other relatives were there, so i spent the whole day watching tv. haha. my ahma cooked nasi lemak, which meant that i've eaten that for dinner twice in a row cos my mother made that for dinner on Sat. Haha. But i still like. And my cousin's getting ROM on 3rd dec! quite excited cos she's the first one. And we are all like planning what to wear already. Ha.

Went to work on Mon afternoon. There was a customer who looked like, or so they said. And they kept giggling and teasing me over it! esp fiona n jason. Everytime fiona looked at her she would laugh. Then jason came up with this story abt showing the customer my half of a medallion cos we are long lost sisters or sth. Stupid right. Bth. Then in the night, i gave jason a stupid expression. Then he started saying i look like garfield. Really hor..... haha.

Went for tuition on Tues afternoon, then to tamp to jocelin's hse to play mahjong. On the way to tamp met Jane! So coincidental. She was on her way home from sch. Haven't seen her in a long time. Haha. Waited super long for the bus to jocelin's hse. Started playing ard 1930. And that stupid brandon won so many times, the turn was stuck at his turn. So it took us more than an hr to finish one wind. Then during dinner, we really laughed our heads off. That brandon la! Whatever i say, he muz have the last word. #&%$#! haha. Anyway, had lotsa fun that night, cos haven't laughed so much n so heartily in a long time. Corrin's bf came to fetch her, so i lom pang. It wasn't really on the way, cos corrin lives in pasir ris. haha. Anyway, reached home at abt 1230.

I wanna blog, n i noe i shld, but i juz feel so lazy to. Contradicting? When i think of how i have to put all my thoughts into words, and hafta type them out, and correct them if my english is in pieces, I juz dun fell like blogging already. Haha. Feel tired, but if i don't grab this chance to blog, I don't know when my kookoo internet connection will work again. So.... think i'll juz sae briefly lo.

Stayed at home on Sun while my parents n sis went to my grandmas' hse, cos i was tired. Ard evening time, my cousin n 2 of my aunts came home with my parents. Gave a shock. Haha. Not really sure y they popped over, but they left after a while.

Went to work on Mon. There's a new girl, Fiona. Quite pretty. Nth much that day. Juz that there was this angmoh. He's super cute. As in what he did, not his looks. Not that he wasn't cute. Haha. Blabbering. Anyway, he ordered cranberry turkey ham with mustard n cheese, without ham. I didn't think much abt that order until i saw the dish. There's like only the cranberry sauce, lettuce, tomatoes cheese n bread. Anyway, he took a bite, and gave a weird face and i knew sth was wrong. then he asked me if there was turkey in it. Of cos i said no la. It turned out that he thought turkey ham meant turkey, and ham. 2 different kinda meat. But it simply meant ham made of turkey. I told him that, n he was like a lil shocked n asked how they made that. I got a double shock at that, n was little stumped for an answer. Then i juz told him that same way as they made chicken n pork ham. Haha. Funny lo.

Went to work on tues during a weird timing, 11-3 cos i couldn't work 12-4. Had tuition at 4. Realise i have a tendency to forget umbrellas. Cos i borrowed an umbrella from my student abt 2 weeks ago so i brought it along to coffee club. In e morning, i had to go back to my hse for it cos i forgot abt it. Then after going down to e mrt station to buy my concession i realised i left it in coffee club. So had to go back to get it. Then, i left it in the cab i was taking. Lucky e driver saw e umbrella in time. So that was how i forgot the umbrella 3 times in a day. Haha.

Slacked at home the entire day on Wed. Was actually looking forward to it ever since Sun cos i knew i wouldn't have enough slp till Tues night. But, it was highly overrated by myself, except for e slp part, cos i slept soundly till 11. Made pasta with the squid ink linguine we bought in Thailand. Tasted not too bad. Oh ya, i had a revelation in Thailand. Brinjal is not an English word! Ppl who knew that beforehand pls laugh at me. Ppl who only knows it now can go into shock like i did. And ppl who don't even know what brinjal is, r u even Singaporean? Brinjal is a malay word for eggplant. Know what eggplant is? that Long purple veg.
Packed my room a little on Wed, but i still have a long way to go. Need to find a place to put my bags neatly n still be able to get them easily. Any suggestions?

Worked the whole day on Thurs. 12-1030. Realised that pay for a cook is $6. I am seriously considering being a cook right now.

I have a habit of going somewhere in the morning, then going to hougang for tuition n back to that place i went to in the morn in the evening. It has happened twice. first time was when i went to work, then to tuition, then back to marina. Today, which is Fri, or rather yday, I went to Suntec, then to orchard to cut my hair, then to tuition, then back to orchard to meet rena n cc.

The reason i went to suntec was cos body shop was having warehse sales, n i spent over 70bucks there. Then went to meet my sis to go to toni & guy where her fren was working. Cut my hair.. a bit different la. Esp my back. Went for tuition after that. Then went to orchard. Met them at PS. Then we went to cine to catch a movie. Spent some time deliberating over which movie to watch. In e end, we tossed a coin n decided to watch corpse bride. Haha. rushed down to yoshinoya for dinner, and cheng was feeling stressed throughout the dinner cos she was really feeling the pressure to finish dinner in 20mins. Haha. the serving size there is getting smaller.

The show's not bad. Quite funny. I like the part where this dead man's jaw dropped to the floor cos of when in shock we drop our jaws right. So cos he's a skeleton, his dropped right to the floor. Still can't imagine johnny depp as the main char. Seems so out of character for him to play such a character. After the movie, we went to BK, sat there for a while, then we went to NYDC to eat desserts. Cheng suddenly became inspired to talk in Eng with a super weird slang with an angmoh sitting right beside her. So... haha. Went home after that.

Yeah! I'm back! haha, actually, i was back last Sat but didn't have the chance to blog. Either that, or my internet connection was down.

Anyway, shall briefly tell u what i did in Bangkok last week. Most of it will be abt the food. Haha, of cos the shopping's good. Woke up at 5.30 in the morning on Tues morning cos we had to check in at abt 730 at e airport. Bathed, did some last min packing, then left for the airport. On our way there the taxi driver started saying abt how he was supposed to go to phuket last dec for hols. N all of us know what happened last dec. Yes, the tsunami. In e end, his son bought a car in his name, so he had to cancel his trip so as to process the purchase of the car. Which is super heng, cos he would probably be killed if he went.

Checked in, then we went to eat breakfast. Actually wanted to eat at Mac's but we couldn't find the one at T1, so we ate at BK. Then we started shopping at e duty free shops, until it was time to board the plane.
When we reached Bangkok it was 1030. Early right. We went to the hotel, rested for a while, then we went shopping! Ate lunch first, at a foodcourt. The beef soup v nice. haha. Then we shopped till 6sth. Didn't buy anything that day. My sis did lah. Actually, i did buy "inner beauty", but my mother paid for them so not counted. Haha. After shopping, we went to this seafood restaurant. The food's real nice, and the service's v good. After eating we went back to the hotel, rested, watch tv then slp.

Woke up in e morning to eat breakfast. Woke up at abt 6sth sg time. Shiok right. Somemore i didn't have a good night's slp that night. From abt 4 in e morning i kept waking up at 10min intervals. Cham right. Kept yawning that day while shopping. Haha. Then we went to this building called bobae towers to shop. they sell stuff wholesale, ppl usually buy at least a dozen at a time. Of cos, the more u buy the cheaper it is lah. My mother spent quite a lot, cos the 3 of us esp my sis n my mum bought a lot of "inner beauty", haha. Then we went shopping at another place, some high class place we we only window shopped. Their Birkenstocks were seeling at 30% discount, shiok right, was a bit tempted to buy la. haha. Then we went shopping at a building next to it. Bought earrings, a bag which all 3 of us can use, n several things la. Then juz as we were concluding our shopping in that building, we realised we left our big bag of "inner beauty" in the previous bldg. So my sis n i went back there to enquire at e information counter. Then we followed the security guard to the staff only office to find out that we had to present our passport for some form of identification, and to our dismay, we didn't have our passports with us. So i went back to look for my parents while my sis stayed behind. Quickly walked back to the place my parents were waiting, got my passport, and rushed back there, tho at a slower pace than b4, haha. By the time everything was finished, i think all the security staff knew what had happened. haha.

After eating something at a cafe we went to another bldg to shop. My sis bought a lot of stuff again. Haha. Then we went to this v big supermarket. Bought some stuff, then we went to eat liao. The thing is, the place we wanted to go to was further than we expected. We walked for abt 30mins while carrying those heay stuff. Anyway, along the way, we bought dunkin' donuts! Haha. Been wanting to eat tt. Anyway, after a long walk to our destination, we finally sat down in a Jap restaurant to eat. After eating we went in search of a tailor to make my sis n i suits. Haha. shiok sia. Did it at e first shop we entered. Haha. the whole suit costs $131. Okay right. tailor-made leh. Buying a ready made one at G2000 would need $80 lo. After taking our measurements n everything we went back to our hotel.

Didn't wake up to eat breakfast in the hotel on Thurs morning. Cos we were going to eat dim sum in e afternoon! haha. Shopped for a while before gg to eat. Went to the Grand Hyatt. The place v class leh, luckily, we were going to eat the dim sum not the int'l buffet cos there was a dress code for the buffet. Ha. Anyway, we ordered peking duck.Yay! haha. Super nice. Aiya, everything there was nice la. Eat there v shiok. Haha. And it all cost under S$100. Cheap right. If we ate in Sg it'll cost a lot more. After eating, we went shopping again! This time , i did buy things. But this adidas goofy top, 2 more tops. And 2 earrings which i didn't dare to tell my father e price of, cos he'll exclaim at e price of it. Haha. After that we went to Isetan, then went to the supermarket. Bought some stuff again. Then we went to eat steamboat at Coca restaurant. Took the train back, then my sis n i went for fitting for our suits, then we went to a internet cafe where i entered the previous blog.

On Friday, I had breakfast at the hotel. Then we went shopping again. Bought 2 more tops, and a shorts. By that time, my mum, my sis n i were watching our spending cos we were going to be broke. After shopping, we went to Sheraton hotel to eat dinner! Ate at a Italian restaurant where we sat by the river al fresco. Then while we were eating appetisers, we suddenly saw fireworks! Super shiok lo. Itz like right out of a movie, u know, eating by a river at a high class restaurant, and there's fireworks. Too bad the company's wrong. Haha. Anyway, we went into e restaurant when it started to threaten to rain. The food's not bad lah, juz tt e serving size was v big, and cos there was free flow of bread, n the bread was really nice, so we were super full at e end of dinner. Ordered tiramisu for dessert. quite nice la. Went back to the hotel after dinner. On e way home there was atraffic jam. The driver even asked us to get down to take a train back cos we might be stuck in e jam for abt an hr. haha. But we decided to continue la. in e end it only took 30mins.

On Sat, we woke up and started packing our stuff. Then we went to collect my sis n my suits. Then we went to the weekend market and shopped. But it was super hot that day la, so we were all sweating like pigs. Bought quite a lot of things, accessories n stuff. Decided to stop shopping halfway cos we couldn't stand the heat anymore. Then we went to Emporium, where we bought several things more, my mother bought v beautiful roses. Then we went back to the hotel, packed our stuff n waited for our ride to the airport.

Was in a bad mood at the airport, shan't mention y. But i had a bad flight back la. My ear was blocked so seriously my neck was aching. Anyway, it was good to be back in Singapore where everything seems so familiar. Reached home at 12, unpacked, stuffed my clothes into my cupboard, threw some of my stuff on my table, and went to slp.

Okay that's all for my trip. All in all, i had a great time shopping. Thank God for keeping the pickpockets, cheating taxi drivers and everything else other tourists complain abt away from us. When we were there, my sis n i kept scolding our father, cos he kept refusing the carry the shopping bags. I know, most of them are our stuff, but he's a man. He can help right? Ask us to take still okay, push to my mother to take somemore. So pek chek with him sometimes. Haiz.

Anyway, while there, i noticed a lot of middle-aged ang moh guys with v pretty, long-haired, dressed sexily Thai girls. Itz practically a trend there. I think they're either married, or the girls are social escorts. Don't misunderstand, i have nth against them, it was juz an observation. Itz a little like Singaporeans maryying Vietnamese. Don't u think?

Anyway, ppl, don't come asking me for souveneirs kay. Cos i spent every single cent i had there. So didn't have any excess cash for souveneirs. If i bought for one person, i'll have to buy for everybody else. So except for the 3 ppl, who shld noe hu they are, i was heartless this time n didn't buy anything as souveniers. Hehe. Don't blame me hor. But i don't know who u shld blame.

This stupid blogger is really stupid. The first entry i typed, it deleted it away. Same thing happened to the second one. SO i pek chek dun wanna type anymore. Shall juz tell u guys what i did in short sentences.

On Fri, after working at Coffee club and teaching tuition, i met rena and the rest for dinner. Went to marina sq which was a bad idea cos candy n flo weren't familiar with the place and we had to wait for them while they lost their way n found their way to us. Ate at this Shanghainese restaurant which wasn't that good. Went home after eating.

On Sat, went to the Chinese Garden with my cousins n sis. It was super humid that night, so we were all sweating after the first 15mins. haha. after taking a lot of photos n walking ourselves tired, we went home.

Sun, went to church. then to compass pt, then to my ahma hse. Played mahjong cos the adults weren't there. ordered kfc for dinner. then we waited for my cousin's bf to fetch us home. Reached home at 1.

Slacked at home on Mon. Actually wanted to pack my things a little at a time throughout the day. But i wasted the whole day away watching tv, and only started packing at 11. Haha. Sian right.

Anyway, i'm now in Bangkok, in an internet cafe. Not really updating u guys on what i did, bought n ate here, cos i dun think there's enough time. But i am enjoying my time here, and my sis n father are contemplating migrating here.. haha. My sis' in love with the supermarket, the dunkin' donuts. Dunno what else to say le. But i've eaten a lot la, and spent a lot too. And i'm prepared to spend more! haha.

Shall see u guys when i'm back n i hafta pass out stuff. Bye!

Only had tuition on Tues, so spent the rest of the day slacking. Then I had a 12-10 schedule on Wed, so spent the whole day working. Corrin n her fren amanda came for the interview and they got the job, which is good, haha.

On thurs, which is today, met keigo, corrin and daisy to eat sakae. Keigo was full of rubbish again, kept us all laughing. He's really acting like he's 12! Haha. Anyway, didn't eat much this time. Not sure y, mayb itz cos keigo and daisy finished eating soon, so corrin n i didn't feel like eating much after that. Keigo left after eating, and the 3 of us walked ard century sq. Went into metro, and we started fidgeting with all the toys. Saw the polly pockets they're selling now, and itz juz so different from the ones we used to have. Rmb the shell like boxes, and the tiny figurines? Now they're as big as the Kelly barbie dolls, and the houses can not fit into our pockets anymore. So y are they still called polly pockets? And saw the board games and such. I wanna play monopoly! Haven't played it in a looong time, mayb 7yrs? And guess what, we sat down at a table available and started playing with lego. Hahaha. Stupid right. think we sat there for abt an hr. I made a car which ended up looking more like a boat, haha, corrin n daisy both made houses.

After satisfying the children in us, we actually wanted to take neoprints, but the one at century sq wasn't opened yet. Then we went to the one in TM, but when we were choosing which machine to use, corrin's bf called to tell her he has reached. So couldn't take lor. Haha. Went home after that.

Spent the whole day slacking at home on Sat. I actually wanted to pack my room, etc. But as usual, my laziness got the better of me n i didn't do it. Haha.

Went home after church on Sunday to take a quick nap before going to work. And guess what? Howard from An Eye for a Guy 2 went to coffee club that day! Rmb him? He's that 2nd last guy, and he was very romantic and sweet to the girl. Anyway, Elvina got quite excited, first time see her excited over a guy. Haha. He's actually not very handsome, juz that all the things he did on the show endeared himself to the public. And he's quite thin. Business was slow that night, as per usual on Sun nights. We finished closing by 2210 and left at 2230. Fast right. Reached home at 2330.

Went to work the next morning. An accident happened. There was sth wrong with a table but we didn't noe lah. Then when this caucasian guy sat down the entire table flipped up and hit his chin and it bled. Scared me lor, so i quickly passed him a serviette. A very nice lady sitting at the next table gave him a plaster. Then he went to the toilet to wash up and we kept the table for him lah. But i was thinking if he would come back or not. Haha. He did, and he was v nice abt it. We gave him a 25% discount. And u know what? He gave us a $3 tip. Nice right. And there was this couple who saw what happened and was like "xing4 zai1 le4 huo4". Shan't say what they said, cos i can't really rmb, haha, but they were really just making unnecessary and unwanted comments. Turns out they made the same comments to my colleague too.

There was another convention going on, this time itz the ISO thing. And there were a lot of French. Kept hearing them. Haha. Accompanied Sharon to see doctor after work. Wanted really long for the doctor, abt one n a half hrs. Seems that the doc is real popular cos most ppl who went there were looking for him. Anyway, we finally left at 5sth, Sharon went back to work while i went home. I actually wanted to take a nap when i went home after work, but after waiting for the doc with Sharon, that plan juz went down the drains. Haha.

My mother made the chicken in wine for dinner that night. She hasn't cooked that in a long time. But she put a lot of wine so i felt a bit hot after finishing my meal. I really can't drink or take alcohol. My mother can drink better than me. I told her that i felt she put a lot of wine in, but she said she didn't. Which shows how much my mum can drink n how much i can't. Haha.

I've actually wanted to blog abt this thing for a long time, but i kept forgetting. Itz abt the other time when i said that ppl who know me well enough would know that i don't buy imitation. And after receiving some feedback from my friends, not a lot, only two, i realised that ppl ard me really do not know that i don't like to buy or use imitation. Perhaps even my sis. Really leh. Guess itz cos i nv show it, or shop often with my friends. As in, I kinda like to shop alone. I don't have to worry abt letting somebody wait for me while i choose a colour, or while i try out sth. When i go out with my friends I'm juz walking ard, accompanying them rather than really looking for stuff.

Anyway, went out with Cheng Rena and Candy this evening. Was actually supposed to go kbox, but Candy didn't wan to go n we planned to go to watch a movie. But i didn't feel like spending $9.50 and perhaps more cos of popcorn, on a horror or suspense movie. We went shopping instead, and spent on neo-prints again... Shall post the pics up another day. Waitting for Rena to scan them up.

We went shopping ard Cine, then Far East. By the time we finished Far East it was 2130-ish. Then candy wanted to go to the Watson's at wisma to look at some things, so we went there, and went to take a cab after that. Wanted quite a while for a cab cos v little cabs went to that area. Itz always at times like that that i wish that one of us had a bf who has a car. Anyway, our cab trip took 20bucks, cos it took 10bucks to go to amk from orchard. Lucky we were sharing.

I had 2 pleasant surprises today. When i was going to teach tuition at abt 11 in e morning, i saw vincent at the bus stop. Didn't expect to see him, and i didn't expect him to recognize me. Haha. Then while i was on e cab nearing my hse juz now, Eugene called me on his hse phone. And i didn't save that number, so itz like i was wondering who's this guy asking whether i had changed my home number or not. Kookoo right, didn't even identify himself. Haha. Anyway, he was calling me to update our pri sch contact list. Itz been 2 yrs since our chalet. Wah..... 2 yrs really seem a long time ago. But i still rmb what we did, n all those stuff. Guess i miss them. In e end, i'll have to help him type out the contact list cos he know's that i'm having my hols currently, while they JC ppl have to mug. Haha, nvm.

Went to work on Wed afternoon. And there were a lot of things that were sold out again. So... Anyway, there's this convention going on at the raffles convention centre, think it's sth to do with the newly opened desalination plant in Sg, cos I saw their tags and those ppl are from what water tech companies or sth from all over the world. So there're a lot of these guys in suits like whole day round, and they're quite good tippers. Haha.

Had a tiring day today, which is Thursday. Met Corrin, Daisy, her bf Ronald, and Keigo. Went to eat Mac's, then went to the Changi Beach Club. Keigo Ronald n I went to the gym while Corrin n Daisy went to swim. After a while keigo n ronald went to join them while i bathed. Sat down to tan and talk when i joined them. Then we moved over to the baby pool. And Corrin found out that keigo was ticklish which was a disaster for him. Haha. But he found a way out. He would juz threaten to splash me with water which kinda worked quite well cos i couldn't afford to get wet. Haha. He even chased me lor. Stupid. Haha. Can't believe he's acting like a 12 yr old when he's 21.

After they bathed we took a looong walk down to changi village. But the scenery was quite good lah. When we finally reached changi village, we bought drinks, and i bought this super huge coconut. Haha, quite nice lah, but not sweet n cold enough. Then we bought nasi lemak to eat. And that Daisy hor. I told her i wanted fish, as in the type we usually have for nasi lemak. But she mistook me and thought i wanted to fish cake. Haha. Nvm. And i bought roti john with much anticipation, but it didn't turn out the kind i like. I miss the one in Geylang!! This one had v little ingredients and quite tasteless actually. But the one at geylang was delicious. It had tomato sauce, then egg, onions, minced meat. Shiok man! Think itz been years since i ate that.

After eating, we let Daisy n ronald go on the romantic walk down the beach.... Haha, while e 3 of us went home. Anyway, during dinner we came up with this split personality for keigo, which is keigo - the good one, and yew kai - the bad one. Yew kai's his chinese name btw. It was juz so crappy lah. Haha. The 3 of us were super tired on the way back, we kept yawning and tearing. Haha. And we might be going blading next week. Can u imagine the mess it will be? Keigo's the only who knows how to, so he'll be teaching us! Haha. Die ar.

Been a long time since i've felt so satisfyingly tired. Not since i dunno, can't rmb. But i miss the vball trg days. It sounds weird, but i miss trg. Although they were tough, it was fun! Coach made it fun. I know there were a lot of unhappy stuff, but we had fun most of the times.

Went to work at 11 on Saturday. Put in a short day that day, worked for 4 hrs only. Went home after that, and slacked the whole day through. Haha. Watched tv while reading a book. That's how i passed my Saturday.

Went to church on Sun morning without my sis. We had this forum after service, and the topic was "Is God to be Blamed?" I guess the title is quite telling abt what the forum is abt. It was Sept 11 that day, so of cos we were talking abt all the bad things that happened all ard the world since that day in 2001. The forum wasn't like enlightening, as the adults didn't tell us why God allowed all those things to happen, or they weren't able to. But they certainly made accepting easier. Realised that some of the things that happened were man-made, so to speak. And we would never be able to know y God allowed or did all those things. Else we will proclaim ourselves god if we knew everything. There will always be certain things that are kept secret.

After the forum, i went to wait for my parents at the sanctuary. Then we took a cab down to PS. My dad actually wanted to take a train down. But i told him that if we took a train, we'll spend more than if we took a cab instead. Haha. Went to eat at Secret Recipe. Their service was a little sucky, with a little redeeming points, else i'll say quite sucky. Their lamb stew is nice, the stew was good. And the serving size's big. Don't try their chicken with cheese thing. It was deep-fried over and over again. So it wasn't fresh and it was dry. But their cakes' good.

Then we went to Robinson's where my mother shopped but bought nth. And it was to Spotlight after that. my mother wanted to stock up on her wool for knitting while there was a sale. Haha. So she bought like 3 different colours. And one more for my sis. Coincidentally, my sis was coming down to PS with my cousin, Ah qin, and my xiaogu and xiaogu zhang. Met them at best denki, where we bought a small hi-fi set for my popo. Then cos my parents wanted to go down to my ahma's hse first, they went off first. So the rest of continued to shop ard. Then another cousin of mine, ah bao came down with her mum. We spent like 20mins in robinson's cos ah qin was deliberating over which brand of multi-vitamins to buy. Haha.

Then we continued to walk walk, went to marks and spencer, where i bought biscuits, and pasta sauce. Saw a lot of other things that i wanted to buy, but i didn't lah, else i'll be broke. ah bao's bf, zhihao and his friend came to meet us. His friend was super tall. Think his abt 190cm? And to make matters worse, his quite big-sized, for an asian. He made my aunt look like a dwarf, haha. Then we went to BK cos my xiao gu and her hubby were going to discuss some insurance matters with zhihao's friend. Obviously, we couldn't all fit into a table at BK, so my sis ah qin and i were sat at a different table beside theirs. Cos ah qin's working as a PA to this financial advisor or sth. So she comes into contact with the insurance plans of many coys. So she was telling us abt this savings plan and i'm now contemplating whether to get it. But will have to save up a certain sum first.

Went home after that. Ate instant noodles for my dinner. Sad right. While my parents ate dinner at my popo's hse and my sis was being treated at this Thai restaurant in Centrepoint. That's all for my Sunday.

Spent my whole day at coffee club on Monday. It was a good tips day. Received several $4 and above tips. Generous right? haha. There was once this guy who paid 10bucks for a cup of cappucino. Cos he left the change as tips. Haha. And i finally saw sb leaving tips while using credit card payments. Then Alice said i sua gu cos she has seen a lot of times le. Haha. But really, v few ppl give tips if they're using credit cards. At 8, all our food started getting sold out. All our cakes were sold out, there weren't anymore sandwiches, half the menu was gone. Sad right? So i had to repeat the same thing to all the customers. Are they having their meal here ot just having desserts? Then i'll tell them the things that are available. Sian. Haha.

Slept abt 11 hrs that night. I must have been tired. Was going meet my cousins ahqin and ahbao for lunch with my sis yday afternoon. After lunch my sis n i went to e national lib. We sat down to read, and i went off at 3 cos i had tuition at 4. Took a cab down cos i'll definitely be late if i took a bus. I ended up reaching 15mins earlier. So i sat down at e void deck. Waited till it was time b4 i went up.

Rushed down to Suntec after e tuition cos was meeting Liz n Cheryl to watch longest yard at 7. But the bus was caught in a stupid jam for 20 mins. so i got down at aljunied and took a train down. Reached there at abt 1920. Liz came out to pass me e tic n we went in. Luckily, there weren't many ppl in a cinema. Haha.

The show was great. Then men were really really funny. Okay, for those of u who don't know what the story's abt, it's abt this guy who was a MVP while he was playing American football. Then he went to jail. And he was forced by the warden to form a football team out of the cons so that the guards could thrash them so as to build their confidence. Anyway, the guards aren't like those u see or imagine in our very own Changi Prison. They'll grab any chance to beat the cons up, and don't think too much abt killing them. So the cons grabbed at the chance to get back at e guards.

The show was funny in that the characters were hilarious, and their jokes were great. Ya, and Cheryl likes this huge black man who had the mind n heart of a child. He's so cute! Sad thing is Adam Sandler didn't make much jokes like his previous movies where he was so funny. But nvm, the other guys more than made up for it. Haha. I encourage everybody to go watch it!

Anyway, went home after the movie cos Liz n I couldn't think of anywhere to go. Cheryl went for her yoga lesson in Orchard.

I was surfing through the channels on Saturday night, and i came across this show on CNA abt beautiful homes. And it was featuring this house, practically a mansion, which looked exactly like a resort if u ask me. It has a olympic size swimming pool, with u know, those palm trees or whatever plants ard it, there were these deck chairs i think. I could fit my hse into the living room of the house. As u go up the second lvl of the hse, u can see a man-made waterfall. The entire is hse is painted this dark orangey kinda colour so that it can complement the sunlight. All the furniture in the hse is custom made cos if they bought normal furniture, they would seem too small cos the living room's just humongous. They have a front lawn - can u imagine having a front lawn? itz like, a fantasy in Singapore, just like fantasising abt having ur own garage - and itz planted with flowers, shrubs so it looks, i dunno, like a resort! Haha.. Can u imagine living in such a hse? Itz like living in a holiday hse, where u dun dare to touch anything except those in ur room, and the reception is just a place to wait to check-in, or for the transport to the airport or sth. Mayb itz different for those who grew up there, but i pity the maids or servants or whoever. How much work is it to keep the house relatively clean, the lawn free of weeds, and the swimming pool emtpy of whatever it is that dirties them? I really think the place shld be resort?

As i was watching, itz like almost sinful to live like that. I don't mean to commit a blasphemy or anything, but think abt this: Singapore has had this problem of not having enough land for ages. The condos and flats are getting smaller. And that piece of land that guy has, i don't know, might be able to place 3 or 4 blocks of flats there? And there were these live 8 concerts a few mths ago to raise funds for the starving in Africa. I'm not preaching or anything, and i'm not saying i'm a saint and i all my money to the needy. But, aren't the social, financial differences too big?? This guy and his family are living in "paradise", a resort, while the babies in Africa are struggling to stay juz a few more days on earth. Okay, i'm getting philosophical. shld stop. But, do u get e picture i'm trying to make?

After watching that HK drama serial on chU at 10pm weekdays, i've got this desire to go on a cruise. Not those kind of cruise to nowhere kind u get in Sg. But the carribean kind. U know, super expensive, super luxurious, super relaxing. I can slack all day, do whatever i want, read mayb 10novels? on that trip. But.... before my dream can come true, i'll have to save up like mad before i can go on a trip like that n totally enjoy it, without having to think abt costs and stuff. Who would enjoy a holiday where u'll hafta hesitate before every purchase? And one more thing, that kind of cruise can nv be found in Singapore, so i'll have to fly somewhere to the port. I can choose to fly budget so tt i can save for e cruise, or i can splurge on a first class or business class ticket. Haha. i really think too much. But, i promise i won't be nasty to the air stewardesses or sth. Anyway, u might notice tt i haven't really mentioned a companion, cos i rather fancy going on a cruise alone. I won't have to compromise my wishes, and i won't have to worry abt sb else having to compromise their plans in order to follow my wishes. I'll be totally free and i don't really worry abt getting lost. I can read maps (I really can), and I'm an independent girl! Haha...

Okay enough abt my fantasy. Shall stop here. Need to get to slp, going to put a full day at work tmr. Shall update u guys abt wad happened on Sat n Sun on Tues........

Okay, i haven't blogged for 10 days officially. Issit the longest since i started to blog again? don't know. But it certainly feels like it. Didn't really feel like coming online n blogging, cos i wanted to concentrate on studying n i knew that once i switch on e com and find out the internet connection is working, i'll be stuck in my seat for at least 3hrs which is really a waste of time since i don't do anything constructive online. Haha. But i can't really say i've been really hardworking, cos i spent most of my evenings watching tv. From the time i reach home from studying to abt 11. That's when most of the shows i wanna watch are over. haha. I'm really a tv addict. Happy Reading!

One thing i'm glad about for my study week was that i did study, and that i got to meet my secondary sch frens. I went out to study on most days of the week, except Wed and Sat. Met either jane or mh to study, or stms both. Got to catch up with them and though it was to study, at least i got to meet them! Better than nothing. Will hafta wait till their prelims are over b4 i can go out with them. Haha.

I went back to Xinmin on Wednesday cos mh met mr choo on Sun and he told her he's quitting. So we decided to go back. Met jane mh and xiurong at the bus stop. Found out we had to register b4 going into e sch, so there was this long queue in front of us. Queued up, and saw Qingnan. And this stupid guy kept laughing at me. Haha. Sigh, a bit sad Hanting not there. Miss the days where they'll tease me and i'll beat them up. Haha.Sadist, and childish and really secondary sch stuff, but they're really fun and i miss those times. Walked ard for a while, and we went up to the hall to see e performance. But there were too many ppl, and the corridor was too small. The corridor soon got too stuffy so we went out to this open space behind e hall and talked. Then when e performance was over we went to wait for the teachers. Saw mr singh, but he only rmbs Jane's name. Haha. He was wondering why e students were all so afraid of him cos only a few of e students dared to look him in e eye. Which is duh, he's the disciplne master! haha. Somemore the students now were the super guai and nerdy type. Mayb except for the normal acad students. Mr singh was still funny. Haha. Anyway, didn't manage to see my cousin again. Everytime i go back to Xinmin i don't see him.

Went in search of mr choo after that with william n the boys. Somehow, i always get this pissed off feeling when i see them. Not william lah. Mayb itz a residual feeling left over from sec4, but itz too long to still hold a grudge right. It comes up whenever i think abt them or when i see them. I must have been blind, and deaf and stupid in sec4. Don't come n ask me what happened, i wouldn't know how to tell u. It seems minor now, but i guess itz juz e minor things that accumulate n affect you.

Anyway, saw guangde. And argued with him again. Haha. Everytime. Seriously, i cannot imagine y i turned out e way i am. I was surrounded by ah bengs from pri sch to sec sch. My sis too. But we're still quite angmoh-pai. Haha. Talked to mr choo for a while, and felt a little guilty cos we didn't get anything for him. His table was like full of presents. The boys tried to pry out of him reasons for him leaving, but he wouldn't sae. And i felt quite sad at that time. Cos that day was his last day in the sch. Itz juz so sudden. Many of our class' teachers have gone. Mrs Yim, Mr Tan Ping Hock. Sad sia. I nv thought that so many of them would leave. It might be for greener pastures, but who wouldn't be sad at times of parting? And mr choo, okay, i admit, at times, i really felt irritated by his thinking. But he was still our form teacher and he really did a lot of things for us. It juz saddens me.

Anyway, mr chia n mr chan rmb-ed me! Haha. Didn't expect mr chia to, cos he has so many students, and he's like involved in every aspect of the sch. Haha, and he's still so funny! He's the funniest teacher i've ever met. And i really like him, and his lessons.

Went to J8 after that. Actually wanted to eat mos, but no space. So we decided to eat at Thai express or sth. Suddenly forgot e name. Then Candy, and cc came to meet us. After lunch, jane xr n mh went home. Went to converse to buy my shoes, finally. Now i wouldn't have to torture my feet during work! Then we went to G2000 to collect Candy's pants. Which reminds me that i would have to get more formal wear cos there'll be more presentations and formal ones at that from next sem onwards cos of my electives.

We then went to orchard. Shopped ard, saw this bag at topshop which i liked. Which is like a finally thing, cos i've been looking out for a bag since like forever. Then we met Rena n went to Zara. She wanted to take pics for her IS module. Right? Cos i had to go to paradiz centre to pay money to a travel agency, we decided to go to the tao's restaurant. The food's really not bad, quite decent,and cos it comes in small servings, u don't feel bloated at e end of the meal which is good. We took some really silly videos of our food and photos, as always. Haha. Went home after that. Didn't get much studying done that day.

Went to the Mac's opposite montfort to study. Forgot that it was a sch day, so in e afternoon, the montfort boys practically flooded the Mac's . Haha. Regretted going to study so early in e morning that day, cos by the time it was 1300, i had finish writing my notes for mkting and didn't have the motivation to start reading the text. But still had to hold on to 3sth cos i had tuition at 4.

Wandered ard for a while b4 i finally found a bus stop which had a bus to bring me directly to the place. Was really worried abt my student b4 i reached cos my past few experiences weren't really good. But she turned out fine, she's really sweet. And the mother was friendly. Their family's quite rich too. Which is good! Cos they're giving $140 per mth. Haha.

Went to church after that. Cecilia was e only girl there at tt time. Helped her cut e pamphlets, then ate dinner. Then watched e movie for a while. It was funny, cos we were seeing our own friends on screen! It was juz hilarious, we were all laughing at e inappropriate times. And the screen really added weight to them. They all looked fatter on screen. Haha. Then watched them rehearse the skits. It was really really funny. Then ti was times for e emcees to practice. But they didn't really know what to say n do. Then they changed it to Kelvin and it was like the best move they ever made. Cos Kelvin was really really good. He's crazy on stage. We were all shocked when he started shouting and talking all kinds of crap on stage cos he's so quiet off stage! Haha. was feeling really excited abt Sat. Went home at 10 sth.

Received a call that night from cynthia and she practically begged me to go work that next day. Sigh, really didn't know how to reject her, so juz told her okay lor. I'm really too soft-hearted. How? So woke up early on Saturday morning to go to work. Was planning to study before going to church but that plan was gone. In e end, i didn't study at all for that day.

Okay, anyway, waering sneakers to work is really different from e heels i wore. So much more comfy. Haha. There was this little boy, abt 7 mayb. He's so cute!!!!!! He's ang moh, and he had these freckles all over hs face, esp his cheeks and nose. And he had strawberry blond hair. Super cute right?! Can u imagine a boy like that? He looked juz like Archie. Haha. Went to church after changing. Watched jialin n her sisters practice for the song later. Liz told me she won't be coming cos she couldn't find anybody to accompany her. Chit chat with the girls for a while, and they kept teasing me abt my jacket, when they were e ones to ask me e price......
Found out i didn't have a tag. Sad right. Juz b4 everything started Cecilia "miraculously" passed me one with my name. Haha. Sat at e registration counter to wait for e ppl to come. We started at 1910. And there was a big blooper when e emcees ran up e stage, they forgot to place e mikes on e stage first. Haha. So they were like didn't know what to do. The thing was a bit lame, but they really did put in effort, and the audience did laugh at some parts. Haha. Then it was time for e skits. And as expected, the first skit managed to tickle the audience. Isaac was so cute! Haha. then it was e movie, and the parents were like laughing when they saw the different chars.

It was time for refreshments after e movie and i got stuck with the duty of distributing e paper plates. Haha. Then when the guests left, we started to pack up. Brought back the pews, kept the chairs. Took photos. Pastor David was quite high. haha. Hung ard to talk, then most of the girls went home le. So i went up to look for my mother, and took a ride home with my mother's friend.

Really thank God for that day, cos the turnout was really quite good.Everything went somewhat smoothly.

Went home after church on Sunday. was actually supposed to go to my aunt's hse at abt 5 cos it was my grandma's bdae. But they said they wanted to go to a place near my hse for dinner, so my father n i decided not to go and go str down to that place instead. But they really standard one lor. I called my sis juz b4 my dad n i left e hse so that they could leave too. But when we reached there n called them, they were still at home. They hor..... dunno wad to say lah. Anyway, waited abt 20mins for them, and ordered our dishes. Found out my 2 cousins were extras in e jack neo movie One More Chance, so we're gg to watch that on Thurs. Haha.

That dinner was reeeally filling. The adults ordered so many dishes! and the crab was like humongous and i'm not exaggerating. We couldn't finish most of our dishes. At least for us kids lah, cos we separated into kids at a table and e adults at one. Actually, we're not kids anymore, i was e youngest there, and i oldest was like 32. But i don't know what else to call us. Haha.

Walked home after dinner, good chance for my sis, dad n i to digest our food. Haha. Studied for my finance paper the next day till 3 sth. Went to slp, and woke up at 9 sth the next morning. I actually planned to wake up at 1030. But since i was up, i might as well stay awake. Took a shower ate sth, and started studying. Went to sch at 1330. The paper was alright, juz that i didn't how to do 2 qns. The time given was juz enough, at least for me. Waited for sw and went to e lib to borrow CDs b4 gg home. Ate my dinner, then studied while watching e tv, which meant that i didn't accomplish much. Haha. Slept at 1sth cos i watched frasier, and woke up quite late on Tues. Lazed ard and studied a little b4 gg to tuition at 3sth.

Rcved my mother's call to ask me to go downstairs to fetch her in e evening. Turns out she bought a lot of things in m'sia. She went there for a prayer meeting, in e end they went to a last min shopping n she bought a lot of stuff back. They were mostly food and daily neccessities lah. She bought bah kua! Haha. my fave.

Studied till 12sth that night b4 gg to slp. Went for my mkting paper in e morning, then went to see my course grade for HR. Got a B. Think itz cos i didn't do well for my quizzes. Haha. Went home after that n slept all e way till 4. Then i woke up, n i really did wanna study! But my heart n mind juz wouldn't settle down. They kept wandering away. Haha. Somehow, i managed to do some studying that night while watching tv. Haha. Wanted to stay up late that night, but my eyes wouldn't listen, so went to slp. Woke up at 9sth in e morning to study. But i juz couldn't concentrate. So i went to sch for my paper feeling super not confident. When i came out of e "exam hall" i felt quite despondent lah. Cos i knew i didn't do well, didn't write enough stuff. But i couldn't think of anything else to write! Then went with jolleen n shuwen to TM. Bought sth to eat. Then i went to buy e movie tickets n met my sis. Went to century sq's best denki to buy a cassette tape recorder for my grandma, but couldn't find one. Then went to meet my cousin Ting2, and we went in search of food! Cos she was hungry n we wanted to find a place to sit down. Went to e wang jiao in century sq. Then, my another cousin ah wen came shopped for a while, den we went to e cinema for One More Chance.

Rmb i said juz now that two of my male cousins are in e movie as extras? Ya, one's a prison inmate, and the other one has 2 roles, a prison warden and this guy at e office the Mark Lee was at for an interview. He's e mata who escorted mark lee n the other guy out of So if u look clearly, u'll see these two extras who look alike. And he was looked so chubby in e movie! Haha. Her sis was like laughing at him. And ya, the other cousin who was e inmate was that guy who kept reading newspapers, and the one who said sth like "at least u're going out but i still need to stay here for 2 more yrs" in hokkien. He almost got that gay part. Not e one hu acted gay, it's the other one. Haha. Lucky he didn't sia.

Anyway, the movie was okay lah. Some parts were quite touching. But the ending was super lame. BTH. haha. The three of us were quite busy throughout the movie, cos we had to keep a lookout for the extras. Haha. And we kept laughing at them! Haha. Esp e part when mark lee was v angry at a job interview cos he knew that they wouldn't give him a chance as he was an ex-con. Then my cousin appeared, and we started giggling. haha. So funny lor, it was supposed to be a touching scene but the four of us were giggling away.

After e movie we went to cafe cartel to eat. We all ordered pasta, and it was super filling. Ah wen ate till v kang kor. Haha. Then we sat there n talked till 2240, and almost wanted to take e train together with Ting2 but we didn't lah. She's 15 already. That's wad i keep telling eb. We keep thinking of her as a kid.

Anyway, i'm quite satisfied with these 2 weeks, cos i met up with my secondary sch frens, and my cousins! So i'm really happy. And talking abt my cousins, ah wen brought up a v interesting point yday. We have 16 cousins altogether. the youngest is Wee Aw whose 14 and the oldest is 30 sth. After wee aw is ting2 whose 3 yrs younger than me. And then comes the a little amazing part. I'm 18, i have a male cousin who's 19, my sis is 20, there's a male n female cousin who are 21, and ah wen's 21, there's a male cousin whose 22, and another female cousin who's 23. And the rest we're not sure liao. So itz like for e 7 of us, there's a baby every yr, and it's a male n female baby alternately. Cute right? Haha.

Okay, that's e end of my super long entry. I'll make e font a bigger size so that u can read easily kay? haha.

My computer is seriously crazy now. There's sth wrong with the modem. I think it has some problems with the new computer. Stms, no matter what i do, it doesn't connect. Stms, it connects immediately once i switched on the computer, like today.

Anyway, have been going out to study the past few days. Studied with Jane in Compass Point today. There were these various groups of secondary sch students, and they juz reminded me of how i behaved when i was their age. It really isn't that long ago, but somehow, i juz think they're so damn childish. Really! It makes me ashamed of my behaviour then, and now i just cringe at the thought of myself back then. Haha.

I actually dread the thought of the hols a little, cos it means that i'll have to work, almost like a full-time staff. Everytime i get tired at work, i'll start thinking abt the week that i'm going to bangkok and console myself with the thought of ppl serving me for 5 days, rather than me serving ppl. haha.

And...... itz Elizabeth's birthday todae! HAPPY BIRTHDAY~~!!!!!! haha, feel a bit guilty cos haven't been able to celebrate with her the two times she asked me. I'll make it up to u next time kay?

Have no idea y, but i'm feeling real tired right now. And i almost nodded off to slp while playing a game on the com just now. Haha. Quite amazing. Anyway, worked on thurs evening and this morning. Requested to leave a lil early today cos had to rush down to sch for lect. But after i changed and everything then i saw corrin's msg that she didn't want to go for lect. Haha. So i decided not to go too. But still had to go to sch to pass sth to Jiahui. So waited a while till 4 sth. Was supposed to go out with Liz, monica, etc. But i was feeling tired, and somehow reluctant to go out with a certain person. Thus, i decided to go home.

I was reading Corrin's blog the other day. And i muz say that i had no idea that things were so bad between them. Really. I thought she was juz feeling that she had changed, and not that disappointed, etc stuff. But truth to be told, stms, i juz have this urge to slap that expression off her face. Or is smack a better word? I don't know. Be it her smug expression,her "i don't care" face, or when we tease her n she gives us that "so what?" face. I do sound harsh, and i know it. But that's really what i feel, and that's really the first time i feel this way. I have nv felt this way abt a person b4. Okay, if the above sentence was taken out of context, it would seem as if i'm expressing my love for sb or sth, haha. Anyway, Corrin, i hope i'm talking abt the correct person. Hehe.

And I have also gotten a totally new perspective on a certain person. Not exactly new, but itz certainly sth that i would nv have imagined. It works to reinforce my dislike for that person. It's not the same person as the one mentioned above, and relax, i don't have the urge to slap this one. Haha. In the past, as i started to hang out with this person, n started to know her better, i can get seriously irritated by her. But our mutual friends seem to like her well enough, so i didn't mention anything. It was only till yday, that i realised that sb could sense my dislike for her. The reason i don't like this person is cos she likes to take advantage of ppl. Even ppl who she knows that cannot spare that extra for her. How many ppl do u know that goes ard asking ppl to treat her to movies, clubbing, food, when she has a job, and the other party doesn't? And sth else, she asked me to buy imitation stuff. Ppl who know me well enough know that i would never ever buy imitation stuff. No matter how similar the product is. She has known me for a yr and she doesn't know that? I mean, i don't care if u buy them, juz don't ask me to! When she was encouraging me to, i juz told her that i don't like to shop at places like that. I couldn't have told her that i don't buy imitation stuff right. I would have sounded like a stuck up bitch.

Okay, anyway, enough bitching. If u know who i'm talking abt, pls don't go ard announcing kay? Thanks.

I've finally finished sch. Not exactly the entire semester, i still have my exams, but at least i don't have to worry abt projects and the various problems that come with them anymore. I actually like exams more, cos i don't have to worry abt my members and partners, and whatever i do, i take the responsibilty myself.

And ya, raffles city coffe club is currently out of bread for sandwiches. Haha. Sounds weird, but itz true. The head kitchen haven't been sending enough. I don't know abt e other branches, but we rally ran out of bread yday night n this morning while i was still at work. So dun blame e staff arh. Haha.

I actually wanted to skip mkt lecture on Tues. But out tutor didn't tell us anything abt e exam during tutorial (i.e tips, hehe) so decided to go for the lecture. During the lecture, there were these scary sounds coming out of the speakers suddenly. Really. Corrin n i were saying that they sounded like the sounds from War of the Worlds when the aliens were zapping the ppl. If u had watched the movie u'll noe exactly what i'm talking about. It was real easy to imagine the aliens coming. Haha. Guess i have an overimaginative mind. Some girls behind were saying it sounded like White Noise.

Anyway, lect finished early, at abt 2. Went home immediately after that. Was supposed to meet to prepare for my sociology presentation at 4. But i was real unwilling to wait for them, and i didn't really see the need to reahearse and everything cos all of us were in-charge of different parts. So i told irvin the day b4 that i didn't want to wait 4 hrs for them (rmb i was thinking of not going for mkt lect?). Anyway, at 3sth melvyn msged all of us that we can juz send the slides to him n soul and there's no need to meet up. Don't know if it's bcos of me.....

Anyway, i had my french speaking test this morning, in other words, oral. And i did badly. Not exactly badly, juz not up to my expectations. I forgot all the things i wanted to say! Lucky giuliano helped me along. I think he helped everybody along. Haha. He's so nice.

After the test, my sis n i went to TM cos i wanted to buy shoes for work. But there was no more stock at converse and isetan. Sadded. Will have to wear my original shoes tmr. Stms, the thought of going to work puts me off a lil. And i have to work 3 days this week, in a straight row.

And we were reading the personal reflections of the HR project. And it's like come people were juz looking for excuses for not doing their tasks on time. I mean, doing quality work doesn't mean that u can finish them last min. Don't blame the library if u do not put in enough effort to search for e books. And ur fever! U got it 2 days ago, not a week ago when we said that we could start doing the report already. Those really sounded lame when i was reading his reflections.

What siew wern said actually didn't really strike any chord within myself. Mayb i'm still used to dealing with my stuff myself cos i know can't expect others to help me. But after i talked to Liz, i suddenly rmb-ed another incident, which tallied with wad sw said! Liz also rold me abt sth, and it also tallied with sth that happened!

Sigh, dunno lah. We didn't meet up at all to do our report. Only sw n i met up cos we were doing the same topic. It was so unlike PBL 1.

Spent the past two days at home, and found that i couldn't slp well at night. Mayb cos i didn't really expel any energy.. Haha. Then i went to my ahma's hse on Sun. A lot of my relatives were there. And my cousin's finally going for ROM this dec with her bf! Haha, we've been waiting do long lor. They've been together for abt 8 yrs. Can't wait for it, but the sad thing is, they don't plan to have kids. Itz such a pity! And we were looking forward to her baby......... Haha.

Went to watch wedding crashers with Liz at PS today. She was late as usual, so i went shopping and bought a pair of jeans, haha, and the tics. Then my kookoo phone kept switching off. Pek chek. And i was seeing the m1shop online, and the phone i want is selling at $338 with $200 trade-in. My phone can be traded in at $150. Not bad hor! Haha. But muz wait till i come back from bangkok and see how much money i have left. Haha.

Anyway, wedding crashers wasn't as nice as i expected it to be. It wasn't as funny as the trailer made it to be lah. And it was really perverted. Haha. Really. No wonder they made it NC-16. Dunno lah, mayb my expectations were to high or sth, cos of the trailer, only certain parts were funny. I was cringing with disgust 1/4 of the movie. Haha. And while i was washing dishes juz now, i was thinking abt how vince vaughn could take it when the girl rubbed his "you-know".. then i thought, it was probably a dummy. Haha. But that was really disgusting, though funny. Haha.

Actually i spent a lot today. Cos i helped my mother buy wool at spotlight, and foundation n powder at body shop. Then my pants weren't exactly cheap. Haha. Lucky my mother's gonna return me e money. Haha.

Then we walked down to Taka for e watson's shop. Saw Monica with her bf while we were crossing e road. Itz juz like on e tv! Haha. Juz tt we couldn't stop n talk or stare at each other in shock like they do in reel life. Oh ya, saw fann wong at centrepoint. Her makeup was super thick, and she was rushing somewhere lah.

After walking ard Taka i was tired lah, so decided to go home. Next day need to wake up early also. Going to meet corrin n sw for breakfast. Eating Mac's again! Haha..

And Liz told me she wanted to go to e movie thing in my church! Haha. So if u wanna go also pls tell me kay? Got buffet and goodie bag. Hehe. 3rd of sept, Saturday, 6.45 in e evening. Itz a movie abt why Christians suffer.

I am slacking in front of my computer now..... I really have nothing to do. Am too lazy to start on the sociology presentation ppt slides, too lazy and think itz too early to start on mugging for my exams, ya, and so on......

Anyway, I wanna say sth. My church's youth grp is screening a movie on wny Christians suffer. Itz on the 3rd September in the evening. It's a Saturday. I know itz in e region of time of poly students having the finals, and the A'level students having their prelims. So i really don't know who to ask. If u are interested in going, juz sms me, msg me on msn, or drop a msg at my tagboard kay?

Watched the french movie Les Choriste during french lecture. It was very nice, funny, and the boy who was acting as the male lead, he was sooooo handsome. Really, his looks were so pretty, mayb too pretty. He looked like Princess Diana, in some angles, which might make u think of Prince William, but he's so much more handsome than him. Really. Can u imagine a boy like that when he grows up? He's going to create havoc among the girls. Haha. Actually, he's not that much of a boy. Thinks he's only a few years younger than me. Maybe 15? But he's so damn cute.

Okay, anyway, i just got off phone with the technical guy from Pacnet. Was so fustrated with my com today. Dunno what is wrong with my internet connection. Actually wanted to dl games to play, in e end, i had nothing to do for the whole day. It was like i finished my exams already.. Haha.

Then i was really stupid. Had to call in to Pacnet 3 times before the problem was finally solved. Know y? Cos the first time round, the technician told me to disconnect all the phones in the hse. And i did. The thing is, i was talking to him on e hse phone. Haha. Stupid right. So i called in again. On my hp. Halfway through, my handphone switched off suddenly. So had to call in e 3rd time. Haha.

Anyway, talking abt my phone. Itz spoiling. At least i've used it for more than a yr already. But that's no excues right, and i can't possibly tell my parents that. I'll have to save up to buy a new phone. Anyone wants to buy for me the Sony Ericsson K750i? Haha. My expectations very high hor.

Yeah!! I've gotten a new computer! Haha, itz not exactly new. Only partially, cos my sis' v v nice friend changed everything except the hard disk, and it only costs abt $650. And he told my sis to call him if there's anything wrong. So good right. Why can't i have friends like that? haha.

Went for my sociology test in the morning on Saturday. It was easier than expected lah, cos i was expecting it to be like, so damn difficult that i won't be able to handle half the qns. Haha, that was an exaggeration. But, really, it was better than expected. Went to eat Mac's breakfast after the test with Laykuan and Jacelyn. Hahaha. Was thinking abt eating that the night before, so asked laykuan if she wanted to go eat not. Ate the hotcakes, super nice. Went home after that and took a nap, almost got called back to work at abt 3. Lucky i managed to convince them i wasn't free. Hehe. Finally got to watch my "sky dragon eight parts" again, after missing it for two weeks, though it was e last episode already.

Went to my ahma hse after church on Sunday. Watched bewitched. It isn't nice. This is the first time i've said that a movie ain't nice right out. So if u haven't watched it and is planning to watch it, pls don't. Itz not exactly boring, it's just that after e movie is over, u'll be thinking, so? what's the point? Haha. That's what i thought. And nicole kidman was unbelievably naive in the film. The original version of bewitched was great. But this new one is really found lacking.

After watching the movie, started to teach my cousin her accounts. Then i left at 4 sth for work. Was lazy to walk to the bus stop, so decided to take a cab. Haha. Business was slow, as on Sun nights, so we were like slacking and waiting for the time to reach 2200 when we could finally do closing.

Went to sch for HR on Mon, then back home where i took a nap, then bathed, then off to work. Finally got to work with ellen again. Haha. After working there for abt 3 mths, we finally got to work together again after the first time. Was waiting for 10pm to come around again. Quickly finished up closing and accompanied cynthia and ellen to cafe cartel to buy cakes cos it was going at half price. Haha. Then walked to my bus stop slowly.

Went to work at 11 the next morning. Started coughing the night before, and when i reached coffee club on Tues morning, i was nearly sounding like a man. Haha. Then Ruiting and Joceline started crapping abt writing the words i'm supposed to say on different pieces of paper. Like "Table for..?", "Can i take your order?", "Sorry, ... ... is sold out." Then i can paste those pieces of paper on me and juz point them when necessary. Haha. Stupid right. Felt like vomiting a few times that day. Don't know y leh. Mayb cos my stomach was empty, but i juz didn't have any appetite. ordered soup for my staff meal. Was biding the time till 6 when i could finally leave. Then all of them were psycho-ing me to work till closing. Lucky i had my cough and lessons the next day as an excuse. Haha. When it was finally six, walked slowly to the bus stop and went home.

At 2330 that night, i suddenly realised we had to upload our french projects online by midnight. So i panicked and told my grp mates to send their learning logs to me. Then this i-don't-know-what-to-call-her grp mate of mine thought the deadline for e dialogues was up, so she didn't upload hers. So i told her to go check it out. But she told me she couldn't log in the website. then i told her to send me the file, her admin no and password so that i can log in and upload for her. But she hadn't done it yet. She didn't even know which one she was supposed to do. Then when she sent me the file, she didn't include her admin no and password in her email. And she was offline by that time. my phone wasn't with me. Pek chek lor. So i didn't care and juz finished uploading the culture project and went to slp liao.

Slacked during the entire french tut cos it was supposed to be review and giuliano juz told us to ask him questions. In e end my sis n i were chit chatting or stoning. Nearing e end, we started to talk to giuliano abt his family and the languages he knows. So cool lor, he knows 4. English, French, Italian and German. He even went to Shanghai to learn Chi, but that was 3 yrs ago and he has forgotten most of it now. Haha. He's so cute and funny. I'm gonna miss him when this cds ends..... Haha.

Then i went for finance tut and went to century sq to meet liz. But when we were there she decided not to go for french lect later, so we didn't go.. Went home instead. Haha...

Okay, here i am again, to bore all u readers with my life....... Sometimes, i wonder who are the ones who really read blog, except for the few of u who leave tags sometimes. The rest? So pls leave a msg at my tagboard so as to let me know who are e ones visiting my blog and the ones reading abt my entire life on a website. Well, mayb not my entire life, but pretty much my present life except the most private stuff i like to keep close to my heart.

Just came back from sch where i finally submitted the marketing report to my tutor. I thing there are some mistakes in the report, so i juz pray that we'll get e marks we deserve. I don't know how to start doing the peer appraisal. Daisy has done it already. Stms, i think that peer appraisal is just like talking behind a person's back. But that's the only way the tutors can really know who's doing the work and who are e freeloaders. Juz pray that God will guide me through the process.

Saw this old man on the bus on the way home. And i saw that his 2nd finger on his left hand was gone, most probably cut off. It made me wonder what had happened in his youth, and what trouble he had been in, to lead to his finger being cut off. Has such a thing ever occurred to you? You see somebody on the bus, the train or the streets, and u start thinking about him/her, what had happened to that particular person tht has led him/her to such a position today. I guess all authors do that, or they wouldn't have so many inspirations and ideas that can be seen in their stories and novels.

Guess that's all i have to say today. Am gonna do the peer appraisal now. Hope that i can be objective.

Dragged myself up from bed on Tues morning to go to work. Our first customer came at 1045, when usually they would appear at 10, at e most 1010 on a weekday. Even when the customers started streaming in, we were still v seng nang. Don't know y they put 4 of us on duty for opening when it was a public holiday. Haha. Then came this young American couple. I think they were kissing abt 85% of the time they were there. Haha. Really.

Cos coffee club's starting to sell new drinks this week. Mostly ice-blended drinks lah. So everytime there were extras we would pour it into a cup and each of us would sample a bit. If u like coffee, the iced expresso is nice. Cos the coffee taste is really strong and aromatic, and they have coffee bean bits in it. The summer apple's not bad too. Got lime and apple taste, so itz v refreshing. Think Jane will like it. The rambutan one is not bad, if u like the taste of the canned cocktail syrup. Haha. And there's the standard iced mocha. Haven't tried e rest yet. Will tell u guys next time. Haha.

Ahling called me while i was walking to the bus stop after work. She wanted to ask me abt accounts. They teach them really fast in NTU. It's like they've covered weeks' worth of what we covered in poly in 2 weeks, perhaps more. Fast right. No wonder she's so confused. They have additional stuff somemore. Waited super long for my bus. By the time i reached home it almost 3 and i went to take a nap immediately. Ate bread with those "soft-boiled" eggs for dinner. Seems that i've been eating bread e whole day. I ate 2 buns from breadtalk, then a s/w from subway, and bread again for dinner. Haha.

Went to slp a lot later than i expected. Y? All because of my bloody marketing project. Pardon my language, but i felt really fustrated and fed-up at that time. Can't believe i have such grp members. One of them told me 2weeks ago that he would edit this part that we had done wrongly. I expected him to have done it by e next tutorial, but he wasn't there. When i msged him asking abt it, he told me that he'll send it to me the next day. And the next day, he asked me if he could send it to me the next day, which was last Thurs. of cos i said yes lah. And yday night at 0046, did i finally rcv his work. I could have completed the work and gone to slp almost an hr ago if he hadn't procrastinated.

Another grp member better. I asked him at last week's tutorial if he knew how to do executive summary. He said no, but he could check it out in the comm skills book. So i left him to do e executive summary and even told him to finish it and pass to me next Mon. But he apparently forgot abt us meeting on Mon and he didn't go to sch that day. And he hadn't done e summary yet. He then msged me that afternoon to ask me what shld go into e executive summary, and i told him that a brief summary of the findings will do, cos we hadn't done e conclusions and recommendations yet. Simple enough? And he told me that he'll send it to me on Tues afternoon. But i didn't rcv it when i checked my email on Tues evening. I msged him, realised he was outside and he hasn't done the thing yet. And u know what he asked me? What's the objective of executive summary? That might seem like an intelligent qns, but to me, it juz showed how bloody irresponsible he was. You told me one week ago that u would check out the comm skills book, and u're asking me the objective of an executive summary when u're already late in finishing ur work?? That's when i told him i'll juz do e thing myself. In retrospect, i shld have done tt hrs ago, instead of waiting for him. I know he's taking a lot of subjects this semester, as he didn't do well for his previous semesters, so he has a lot other projects too. And i understand. But if you couldn't manage the workload, then tell me lah. Sigh.. dunno lah.

But after hearing from Corrin, i've realised that i'm act much luckier than her. At least i don't have overbearing, self-assuming, and tactless grp members.

Anyway, after looking for the teacher on Wed afternoon, we had to edit quite some things cos we didn't do them correctly or we had some redundant stuff. Had to do the french project, worry abt the sociology presentation too. When will all this end?? Never mind, i know the answer. Two weeks later, when my study week starts and i'll have to start fretting abt my exams..

Was a bit shocked when i saw that my last update was on the first on august, which is 8 days ago. Have been busy lately with work, studies, and friends lately. Furthermore, my kookoo computer had to spoil at such an appropriate time when my sis and i need the com more than anytime else. Haha. Lucky my sis borrowed a laptop from her friend. Else we'll both, esp my sis, will be dead. But all the stuff in the com might be gone cos we'll be changing almost everything. Haiz. Sad lor. My songs.. my photos.. my videos.. But still thank God both my sis and i saved backup copies of our project stuff.

Rena and cc came to TM on tues to wait for Rena's bf Kenny. And the frame my specs finally overcame the glue holding it to break again while i was waiting for the bus. Haha. Walked ard TM with them at TM. But there was seriously nth to shop for lah. I have no idea y, but TM is so big, but there seems to be nth interesting to shop for. Anyway, cc was agonizing over what to wear for the coming Mon when we were going out. She wanted to get sth to wear, but there was nth to interest her. Met Kenny, and i can see that he's v like Shawn. Can u imagine the jokes they make when they're together?? Haha.

Went to meet candy at orchard after sch on Wed. We wanted to eat in this Jap restaurant in Taka basement which we ate like 3yrs ago? haha. But we couldn't find it, think it has closed down. Haha. So we went to eat crystal jade, the shanghai one. We ordered too much lah, and we ordered like 2 to 3 dishes of similar stuff cos u noe, they use the same fillings for so-called different dumplings. Haha. And we ordered this super big bowl of noodles. So we couldn't finish the food. But we tried our best. Haha. Then we went shopping. Finally bought the kind of pencil case i want. Then we went to the cosmetic counters at Tangs. And just stood there trying out the colours and stuff. Candy lor. See one like one. Haha. She's crazy about sequins now. Whatever that has sequins on will attract her attention. Bought a new pair of specs at the spectacle hut at far east. I actually wanted to get a new frame only. But couldn't find a pair of frames to fit my lenses. So no choice, had to get a new frame too. Spent 205bucks in e end. My mother was super shocked when she heard that and i told her i'll pay half of it. Haha.

Met with my sociology grp mates on thurs. There wasn't any tutorial that week. But we had to do some grp thing as our attendance. Then one of my grp members very good lor. If i didn't call her to ask her where we were meeting, she would have juz left the sch without telling us she wasn't meeting us. And she juz told me she has sth on. V what lor. Still say she wanted to have full attendance cos she wants to get Z. She's juz taking advantage of us cos we wouldn't tell e teacher she wasn't there. Went to work after finishing the thing. And to my annoyance, i found out that my assist. manager made a stupid mistake and put my schedule on Fri instead of Sat. I was planning to go to East Coast with Corrin and Daisy!! Stupid lor. Made me have to change my plans. So sorry towards the both of them.

Went for my final tuition after work on Fri. Went to Compass to buy gifts for my students first. Bought a piece of cake at four leaves for my mother cos it was her bdae. Then after eating my dinner at Mos, went to my students' hse. Let them do whatever they wanted that day. Actually, i was a bit guilty for stopping the tuitioning cos the parents are still looking for tutors and the both of them really need help. Esp the older boy. But i'm quite reluctant to teach him lah. And stopping the tuition would free up my nights. So i can do more stuff.

Spent my Saturday morning helping my mother cut paper apples. Haha. She's making an apple tree for church. Did a bit of my finance tutorial. Then i went out for the Festival of Praise. This time, we had to queue to enter the place. And altho we reached at 4sth when we could only go into e stadium at 1815, the queue was already super long. It is good to see so many Christians in Singapore so psyched for e FOP, but i couldn't help wishing at that time that there were less ppl. Haha. Don't know y, but i couldn't warm up to the music and all those stuff at e beginning. Thank God i could at e 2nd round of singing.

Lost my voice a bit that night. Haha. Stupid right. I must have been shouting instead of singing. Bought porridge at Jackson's cos was changing buses there. Had to wait a while lah. But it was worth it cos i was so hungry by e time i reached home. Hadn't eaten since 11 or 12 that morning.

Jane asked me if i could meet her on Mon to go out after sch. But i couldn't, cos was meeting Rena,etc in e afternoon and i had to finish up on my project after sch. Quite sad lah, cos hadn't met her for quite a long time le.

And finally to the yesterday.

Was quite fustrated when doing the mkt project cos sb was either acting dumb, or is really so dumb. BTH. I'm blaming that person for being blur. But if u're really so unsure of those stuff, then u shld at least make e effort to confirm things, find out abt things right. And stop saying that i didn't assign u any work. Can't u take e initiative to find out what needs to be done? I don't want to name names, but the person would definitely know i'm toking abt him/her if he/she reads this. Another person made me pek chek too. I was in Orchard on Mon when she msged me to ask if i was emailing our tutor. So i asked her if she could email the tutor for me cos itz inconvenient for me to do tt. And u know what she said? She said "but u're e leader what." I got v pek chek at that sentence lor. I know i'm leader. But i already asked u to help me cos it isn't convenient for me to email her. Itz not as if i'm deliberately pushing the task to u with no good reason.

Anyway, was late in meeting Rena, cc and candy. Went shopping to help Candy look for a top to wear. Will be buying it for her prezzie. She tried on so many tops, but she didn't want any of them. And when she finally saw one she liked, it was e only piece left, and she spoilt it when she trying it on. Duh right. Then mh came to look for us. And we shopped further, and then went to PS to wait for Flo to meet us after her movie. Saw a lot of things i want to buy at various shops in PS. Haha. But i muz save money for the thailand trip next month. Hahaha.

Ordered food at cartel while waiting for flo. Itz been ages since e 6 of us gathered together to hang out. We always have sb missing in e past. Altho it was only for dinner, at least we got together. Flo and mh left after dinner while the 4 of us went to clarke quay. Walked in e wrong direction so we walked one big round to clarke quay. Haha. By e time we reached there we were all sweating. Haha. Went to Indochine. All of us ordered cocktails except for cc who ordered a martini. And it was much stronger than e cocktails. So her martini became our punishment when we were playing the "guess fists". haha, else she would be drunk by e time she finished her drink. Left the place at abt 2230 and we went in search of Mac's cos we were hungry and on a tight budget. Haha. While walking over to boat quay we passed this grp of teenage angmoh guys outside 7-11. After a while they suddenly appeared behind us and they were like walking real closely. Rena and cc became paranoid and started suspecting that they were following us. Haha. Really paranoid lor. Then we walked by another 7-11 and those guys went into the 7-11. Seems like they are attracted to the 7-11s in Sg. Haha.

After eating fries at Mac's we shared a cab home. Which cost me 20bucks, cos rena n cc were broke, and candy forgot to pass me money, as always. Haha. Joking. Anyway, the driver told me that we shld try another route. Which is to send cc home after candy, then to rena's hse, then finally to my hse rather than the present one which is to send rena after candy, then cc and finally me. Will take faster. Aiya, anyway we go, I'll always reach home last.

We saw a lot of ppl we know on Mon. Saw our chi teacher in sec 3 n 4 cum form teacher in sec3 in wisma. She has changed. She looks a little haggard now. Don't know y leh. Saw hanyi at cine. Saw alan tern, the actor at PS. Cos the rest of them had seen him, and i was e only one who didn't. So i started saying Where? Where? rather loudly. Haha. And i think he heard me. Haha. And he smiled at us. I think he's more handsome in real life. Then we saw Alicia in Cartel. Even asked her to help us take photo. Haha. Then saw xinyi, xinru and joanne from my church. Saw a couple other Xinminians whom we don't know; we just know they're from xinmin. Haha. First time i saw so many ppl i noe in town.

U might notice that the entries for each day is getting shorter except for the most recent. Guess itz cos i can't rmb the details, the feelings and thots i originally wanted to put in.. And i'm juz getting lazy. haha. Will try to blog often in future.

Hope u didn't get sleepy or strain ur eyes while reading my super long entry.........................

Okay, here i am again. Ginnette just complained that I haven't updated my blog in a long while, which is true, I haven't updated it since last Wed. But can't blame me okay. I was busy doing other stuff.

I don't have much have a recollection of what i did on Thurs. I just rmb that i decided to skip Sociology class cos that's e last lesson i can skip, and go home to take a nap before going for tuition. And i finally told the mother of my students that i wanna stop! Told her i juz couldn't cope with the both of them. And she asked me what if I juz taught one. And i knew immediately that she wanted me to teach Renjie cos he's having his streaming this year. So i quickly said no. Cos I know that even if I can now concentrate on teaching him alone, I have no guarantee that I can make him concentrate and do his homework. Except for the first few lessons, he has nv finished the homework i gave him. Sigh, anyway, I'm finally gonna be free after this Fri, and I no longer will be holding two jobs! haha. But can't help missing the $190. Haha.

Went to work on Fri at 11. And got forced to extend my working hrs to 6. Stupid lor. Went to Holland V immediately after work to meet cc, rena, candy and flo. Went back to breko again. I don't know why, but i really had no appetite that day. Only had a bowl of soup for my staff meal that day, and juz ordered a drink and calamari at breko. At least e calamari was nice. After eating, we decided to play the frog game. U know, the *in chinese* one, frog, jump into e water, pom.. that type. And i was wondering y the frog is always used to play such games and nv other animals. Haha. Then we got tired of that and played big fish small fish. Then we changed it to big tomato small tomato, then to good potato bad tomato. Haha. Super stupid. Drank a bit that night, cos our punishment was to drink beer. Shared a cab with flo and cc home.

Realised on Fri night that i left my file at my students' hse. Which meant that i left my HR notes for the PBL, and my finance notes, which i need for the test on Sat morning. Haha. Kookoo right. Lucky i went over the tutorial on Wed. Then on Fri night, Jason called me at 11sth to ask me if i could go to work earlier, either at 3 or 12. Very irritated leh, cos i was still hoping to go home for a nap first.

The test was quite straightfoward. Got abt 2 MCQs wrong. But that's abt it. Think Roy and Siew Wern would get full marks. Did a bit of HR in e sch lib before gg to work. When i reached raffles hotel in e bus, it was only 1430 when i start work at 3. Who knew there was a traffic jam there cos there was road closure due to e NDP. When i reached the toilet to change into my uniform, there was a long queue. Someohw, only two cubicles out of 5 were working. In e end, i was late.

Managed to "struggle" through Sat night cos it was busy, so didn't have much time to think abt how busy i was. The funniest thing happened that night. This two turkish men came, and they didn't speak english. They only knew to tell me they wanted ice-cream. Duh right. When i asked them the flavour, they started speaking in their language and i couldn't understand a thing! I was there for abt 5mins, b4 i managed to understand that they wanted 4 different flavours, with 2 scoops in each bowl. Finally lor. You have no idea how lost i felt when we struggled to understand each other. Then their wives came and i had to struggle a bit again. At least it was faster and better. When they left, one of the men said "Bye Bye Joy!", very loudly. Haha. So paiseh.

Didn't have classes for YA! on Sunday. Played human monopoly instead. Had to play it under e hot sun somemore. Sigh, at least it wasn't raining. Went home after that to watch my "sky dragon eight parts". Haha. Then i took a nap. Wanted to do my french ppt, but my stupid com was faulty. So couldn't do anything. After eating dinner, on the com again and it was usable, luckily, it only became siao again after i was finished with e ppt. Cos my sis also wanted to use e com, so she called her god-bro for help. He's damn nice, altho he lives in Admiralty, he volunteered to come down to check out e com for us. So good right. Haha. He managed to salvage e com, and said he'll help us do a new com when the com really spoils.

Was in a bad mood today. Was partly fustrated over the HR pbl cos i was having difficulty researching on my part. And sb only made it worse by reminding me abt e mkt project and pushing everything to me. Stop asking me to not do everything if u're not willing to take some responsibilities. Frankly speaking, I may juz do everything else myself if i get fed up with having to organise meetings.
