I slept soooo early last night. Slept like a baby! Was pretty shagged after a day out with my mum and sis.

Lunch at Soup Restaurant Paragon was good. Loved the Samsui chicken. Haha. I could eat the entire plate by myself.
Shopped the entire time after lunch. It was ok la, but I could almost fall asleep on the couch waiting for my sis to try on her clothes. She took a gazillion years!

Came home, watched SamSoon, and slept. HA.

OK just a brief one, off to SSDC now. cya.

Went to church alone today, and saw Kris on my way home.
He was alighting the bus, while I was boarding it. ha.
So I gave him my sweet bright smile and a small wave. heh heh. now who says I am dao?

Oh before I forget, HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLAIRE!

Yitshan is helluva funny girl! She totally cracked me up me last night on msn. hurhur.

I'm off to sleep again and maybe read a mag. bye.

http://kevan.org/johari?name=JOYCEYAP.

thanks ah. ha.

Went to town with Mummy today. We walked like damn alot. Walked from Scotts all the way to Tanglin Mall to get my papillio. Its really quite far la, considering that Tanglin Mall is only a few stops away from Crescent. ha. Walked all the way back to Wisma after that. Good exercise anyway heh.

Wanted to WALK to PS after that, but it looked like it was gonna rain, so we took the train instead. Groccery shopping at Carrefour was good. Cos I bought a box of uh nectaries (or is it nectarines), and sundried tomato and olives foccacia which is like totally....ooh lala.

The grocceries were really heavy and and two of us were struggling with all those bags. It was really tough.

In the train (there weren't any empty seats),

Me (to my mum): wah, so heavy. Unhelpful Singaporeans. They ought to give up their seats to us.

And almost immediately, this middle-aged man got up and offered his seat to my mum.

Ha, I thought it was qutie funny, cos i nv meant to say it out loud. I was just commenting to my mum.

Hmm, no wonder my mum and friends ALWAYS say I talk too loudly, as if they were one mile away. But hey, today's incident proves that its a good thing sometimes also right? teeheehee.

Yest was my last day at work at coffee club, and I brought home Viennese chocolate cake, NY cheesecake and Blueberry cheesecake. haha, and I koped a few jazz CDs from them. Will return them though. =)
Last day at work was one hectic one. The crowd last night was most terrible. It was almost full hse, so unlike usual Fri nights, which are crowded, but not exactly packed.


Oh wells.

Anyway I'm so addicted to September by Earth Wind and Fire which Porky sent. I've loved their songs, but I have none. haha so if anyone has them, kindly send some to me yea? Thanks!

Walked ard town with Vicki SiSi and Weiyan today. Was quite productive, I bought this sweet paisely-print short dress which is quite a steal, considering that its not very expensive. As it was the last pc left (for that print), Vicki who had also set her eyes on it, give it up to me. So she bought a same dress with the same cutting, but different print. haha.

I'm gonna have fun and play all I can. While I can. Oh yeah, it seems that just when I've settled down for a full time job, everyone's quitting their full-time jobs. I hate this la. They'll all go out and play and have fun without me. Idunchlike.


I suddenly miss SA's Malay stall. I wanna eat.

I'm so depressed. I can't do the hula hoop as well as before! This is like....SO SAD. Used to be really good at it, but now, I just suck at it la. But I'll still try to do 15 mins of it everyday. (note: TRY). HA.

Anyway, those pple that I haven't been meeting up with, MEET UP SOON! Once I start my new job, I'll be working 6 days a week, off days usually being a weekday. So its gonna be quite hard to meet up with friends with office jobs. SO LETS ARRANGE AND MEET UP SOON K? Starting work next Thurs already. (ps, sigh, gotta work on most Sundays) =(. But moolah moolah makes me happy. haha.

I realised I've got so many things to do. I still have 3 bks to finish reading, my Korean drama Kim Sam Soon, and gotta study for final theory as well. Oh wells.

Ok off to read. Meeting Vicki in town later. BYE!

Utt came to the cafe yesterday. He is so droolicious I tell ya. Er, just that he looks very much shorter off-screen, so I couldn't quite believe it was him. But still, cute. ha.

Adeline was like blushing as she came behind to the bar.

" I can't face him now, my face is all red ".

HA!.

Too bad, I think he's gay.

If its of any significance at all, I prepared his ice tea yesterday. tee hee hee. ;)

I got a new job. will be starting work next Thurs. Hmm, but the hrs are quite sucky, I'll become a bit of a no-lifer. But who cares, I want moolah. And anyway, going out less means spending less. On food, transport, and of cos shopping. YES. (trying to convince myself).

Anyway, it seems quite exciting to start work at a new place. I just hope my colleagues will be nice people.


Ok, working soon. Cya!

Went for the NTU Open House yesterday. And I still can't decide what course to do. Sigh. Its like, there are so many things to consider. Oh wells.

And went to TRIM my hair. dammit. I'm sucha loser. I didn't do anything drastic.

Today was just work in the afternoon, followed by an interview in town.
I bought 2 tomatoes in the morning before I left for work, for my dinner, and my sis happily ate up one.
So when I came home, I was sad, cos I had only one tomato left.

I finished "Souls The Gods Had Forsaken" (by Ralph Modder) this morning, over some hot oats with milk and cereal, just before I left for work. I was almost moved to tears, its somewhat like "When Broken Flowers Float". I could feel so much for the protagonist. I just love this kinda books. My kinda books. HA.

Snippets from past few days at work.

This loving mother who caressed her little son ( abt P2), and planted many sweet little kisses on him. Hugged him so tightly, u just know she couldn't live without him.

I so touched, I wanted to smile at them. Not sure if I did. Maybe I did, but they didn't look up. So perhaps they didn't see.


This young and pretty lady came in with her bf( quite a looker as well), their hands held tgt so tightly, I could almost feel their love for each other. She had a bouquet in her hand (it was on V-day. duh. haha), and she was all smiles, and so was her bf. Its like u could sense they were just so into each other. The very epitome of bliss.=). I silently hoped that they would stay like this, fo ever. (yes cliche, ha but true).


It is things like this, that make my days at work. :))

But still, I feel that its time to move on, to experience a different kind of working environment. I really want a change in environment. But that, I'll have to see. To see if other good opportunities come along.

Maybe I shall shed my image too. I wanna chop my hair. Short. bob-style. It might signify a new me, since I haven't had short hair since 12. However, everyone (friends, colleagues) all think that I shouldn't. All think I look ok as it is. But really, I noe I dun.
I want a new image, a new me, and I'll start with my hair. The rest can maybe wait.
Oh, maybe if all feel that I should keep my hair length, how bout cutting my fringe? Bangs maybe? So long as its not how it is now.

I so wanna do sth drastic.

So I've been hoping I'll have the courage.

Driving today was so fun. and funny. Cos I shriek, scream, and go...'wohhhhhhhh' when pedestrians who dun abide by traffic rules suddenly dash across the road. So pls ah, those who are guilty of these (sigh, namely me, SOMETIMES ONLY), please stop. Dun cause agony to drivers like me.

I was driving along the road when a few pple suddenly dashed across.

me: 'AHHHHHHH!!!!!'
Instructor: ' dun worry, they can see u one, they will noe how to avoid the car.just go just go.'
me: 'huh, but I scared.'
me:' wah lao, these kind of pple give me heart attacks.'
Instructor:' u give me heart attacks'

The traffic light was amber, and as I was approaching the traffic light I was deciding whether to go or not to go. So panicky can.

Instructor:' just go just go!'
So I sped up, wanting to quickly move on before the light turned red.
But in the end,

Me: 'HUH, dun want!'

So I braked suddenly, and stopped pass the white line. SIGH.

Hmm, so now I noe. Must be zai. haha. It all comes with more practice I guess.

My poor instructor. Gotta bear with funny noises made by me. But actually I realise shrieking or screaming or woh-ing to myself makes me more relaxed. haha. Maybe my way of expressing my emotions on the road?
But I think, he ear pain.


So I came home, ate maggie mee for lunch. SIGH. Poor thing pls.
And since I've gotten the Kim Sam Soon VCD from Vicki, I'm gonna start watching today.

Vicki's mum: ' why Joyce always so free one ah?'

Er. SEE LA!

So now, I'm eagerly waiting for Roy to get back to me. Cos his Dad needs pple for his company, some office admin thingy. According to Roy, if he is not lying (Roy, that is,tee hee hee), the hrs are pretty flexible, so I WANT!.
Hurry, Roy! I might be Roy's assistant. HAH! Dun laugh!

The membership fee at the yoga and dance studio is not very cheap ah. SIGH.
Anyway I'll think abt it, though Vicki seemed rather interested in it. Of cos la, so near for her. I still gotta travel so far, unless I go to the branch at Suntect which offer only pathetically few classes. Oh wells.

Town after that. Plucked eye brows. and had lunch at Subway. We were deciding between Far East Chicken Rice, Subway, and Korean food, and in the end, reached the conclusion that we should eat healthily. yes pls, the Subway diet.

Shopped shopped shopped after lunch, and at ard 4 Vicki met up with her cousin whilst I went home. Ok, so here I am at home. Blogging. ha!. Meeting them again later tonight for pool. Ah, pool. Haven't touched the cue for abt a mth!


I'm so hungry. I'm gonna eat.

Adios!

Met the high-class-one aka the tai-tai aka The Best Friend after my work this afternoon in town. We were supposed to go pluck eye brows, but realised, upon reaching there, that the eye brow salon had been closed for staff retreat. Made a wasted trip there! Its no wonder my ez-link card value has been depleting at an oh-so-alarming-rate. SIGH. If only I could fly. SIGH.

Shopped around after that, and as I entered the fitting room at forever21, I was shocked and disgusted to find a plastic bag of who-knows-what-but-I'm-pretty-sure-its-vomit hung behind the door. The contents of the plastic bag were so gross it was so sick! It sure looked like regurgitated half-digested food. The whole time that I was changing I tried to keep my eyes off it, but still.....eucks!

And for the sake of fellow shoppers I told the staff tending to the fitting rooms abt it.

Me: Er, I think someone vomitted and left the bag of vomit behind the door. Maybe u would want to clear it later.

Staff: REALLY?!

Haha. His eyes were as huge as golfballs! I'm serious! His expression was so funny when I told him that!
Till now when I think of his reaction, I still chuckle to myself. heh!


Borrowed some books from the library today. BUT! Still no Shanghai Baby. ugh.

Anyway, meeting the high-class-one aka the tai tai aka The Best Friend again tomorrow to check out yoga and dance classes. And, of cos, to pluck eye brows. ha!

Wala Wala tomorrow. I'm not too sure if I wanna go though. Holland V is like Malaysia to me!.sigh. Have I not mentioned it before? ha!ha!

Happy Valentine's Day to all!
Like what Yoke said, its not too big a deal. I agree, but I guess its still lovely to spend this day with loved ones, family and friends! =))

Msgs and greetings from all my dearies and lovelies are very much appreciated!<3.
Quote from the msg from brudder was quite funny! : " I celebrate my day today by throwing grenades!".
Ah, NS really sucks, doesn't it!?

Anyway driving today was fun fun fun.

Oh yeah there was this very goondoo guy today when I was at work this afternoon. He came in alone, carrying this big box that held a wooden chest of bouquet of roses (very pretty indeed), sat down, and ordered two ice-blended mango tango. After an hr and a half, he was only half-way through his mango tango, while the other glass that was untouched (supposedly for his date) has melted away. (er, its ICE-BLENDED. and hey, ice doesn't need 1.5hrs to melt u noe?).

Adrian was like 'wah, happy hour ah, one for one!'

me: he has been there for one and a half hours la!
Fra: he got stood up! he got stood up! (in a sing-song manner)

me: yeah I hope his date doesn't turn up! ha!ha!

As u can see, we're all evil pple. heh!

Anyway after an eternity (to him, that is), his date did turn up before I knocked off.
This goondoo guy had the cheek to ask us to replace the ICE-BLENDED mango tango for his date. wth. Is he stupid to order so early or what? He is not too bright ah!?

Er okay, actually I shouldn't be so mean la. haha!
Hope she liked his wonderful gift though! (an attempt to redeem myself for being so mean and evil. ha!ha!).


Pedicure is bad Pedicure is bad Pedicure is bad Pedicure is bad Pedicure is bad Pedicure is bad Pedicure is bad Pedicure is bad Pedicure is bad Pedicure is bad Pedicure is bad Pedicure is bad


Pedicure is really bad.

I could finish the whole box of raw California almonds in one sitting laaaa. I keep munching on em. Non-stop. Someone pls tell me raw almonds are beneficial for health.

Working tonight! lovelaye. I'm enjoying my job more and more, I just hope Adrian wouldn't transfer too soon. He's a nice manager!

haha and everyone's asking me why I quit the stupid receptionist job. well, cos its a stupid and bimbotic job.and I dun like the way things are handled there.

I watched the fireworks from the window of my home
The prettaye myriad of colours adorned the sky
Sparks of solid gold, red, blue and green
Little tadpoles dancing amongst the clouds

truckloads.of.bullshite.

I quit my new part time job after just 5 hrs on the first day of work. haha! I didn't really like the environment thats why. It isn't very nice being a receptionist, at least not there. (er I dun dare mention where. haha scared kena sued)heh!

Angie: haha so u see, I quit already. why u quitting ur job anyway?

Amanda: I'm taking auto. Manual is tough la. haha. anyway now cars are auto.

I wanted to go out today after work. (btw, work was damn fun today. cos I was doing bar, I kept making drinks for myself, and kept popping cookies. Its quite bad cos I think I'll put on wt this way. Maybe I shouldn't do bar too aften ah.haha.)

Oh yeah I wanted to ask the girls out today after work but I realised that Eileen and Vicki has their pre V-day dates with Samuel and Desmond respectively today). So now, I'm stuck at home this evening. BIG FAT SIGH.

I sewed sequins onto a bag yesterday. haha. too free la.hope my mum dares to use it. Its not too hideous la. heh!


Vicki watched Full House already.haha. cos we all told her to watch!. And now Eugene is watching it too! hah!
He was like, " watch myself act!". heh!

Was stuck in the classroom from 8.350 this morn till 12.10 in the afternoon, save for the 2 10 min breaks. The first half was boring, but at least it got a lil more interesting during the second half. Haven't felt like that since after the As. Oh wells. The instructors who lectured are nice pple though. heh, they crack silly jokes. Whoever says driving instrcutors are scary!?. erm but maybe I shouldn't speak so soon yet. haha!

Yay, working later. My new part time job. I'm still at coffee club by the way. heh.


The weather's so nice to sleep.

Sat:

The private event sucked so much. It was boring. And the pple were awfully disgusting it sickens me to even write about them. Well, basically they are ah sohs and ah peks who are high-class wannabes.

HELLO? LOOK AT URSELVES IN THE MIRROR FIRST BEFORE BOSSING PPLE AROUND CAN OR NOT!

It didn't help that for the entire morning and afternoon, my phone was left in Adrian's car. And so, I was cut off from the outside world for close to 9 freakin hours.
Damn alot of mosquitoes also man. Poor Cindy and Farrah got bitten on their faces.


Anyway, I was sucha klutz (as usual). Cos for drinks we had sprite, coke and F&N orange, and anyway, since it was a CNY party, there were mandarin oranges all around.
So this friendly-looking old man (one of the very few around) came to me.

old man: Hi, can I have an orange?
me: (shocked) uh...orange?
old man: (smiling) yes please.

I looked around, and saw a solitary mandarin orange on the table and was so glad and proud of myself that I managed to find an orange for the old man.

me: (holding the orange in my hand) here u go. (smiling so brightly somemore la)

old man: oh no! I meant orange juice!

And everyone, esp Fad, all burst out laughing, even the old man himself. I was so so so so freakin embarrassed la. And for the rest of the day, Fad started calling me "eh orange!". wah lau so paiseh plsssssssss.



Sun:

Went to JP to watch Donald sing at some singing contest. (Read this: Donald!)haha my Korkor sings well aye! Not surprising he got into the semi finals.
Walked around, and ATE alot.
Went to my uncle's place after that. Forgot that Tally was there, till I reached the place.sigh.
I guess Tally is ok, but its just that he's over-friendly he scares me, and Clare, and Clarence, and also Christopher.

Anyway I saw this bottel of colourful biscuits on the foosball table, in pastel pink,yellow and blue. I was like 'yay, mushmallows!'. So I went to open the bottle and realised that the thingamajigs inside were somewhat hard, unlike normal mushmallows.

me to my sis: 'eh are these dog food or not ah? why so wierd one?'

before my sis could reply me, my aunt went "EH! DUN EAT! DOG'S FOOD!"

wah heng ah. I nearly ate up Tally's dinner. ha!ha!

Oh and I borrowed Korean dramas from my aunt. So it gonna be Korean drama mania again. Finally, something to while away my time. =)

Driving today was not bad. Pretty fun I say. My instructor was just so so so nice and patient!. Oh wells. But I might not be getting him again my next lesson. =(


And yar, Memoirs of a Geisha was alright. They cut off quite a bit though. Zhang Ziyi has pretty blue/grey/whatever eyes in the show. Ah, the wonders of coloured contacts!

I ate soooo much today. And yesterday. And the past few days. big fat sigh.

Vicki: lets register for the yoga and dance lessons!!!!!! ASAP ok?! (at least I get to work out ABIT!)

Claire just told me results will most probably be out the week after next. This is wayyy too scary. I didn't feel so scared for Os (like real!). To say I'm scared is just but an understatement.

Claire: We'll TRY not to think abt it yeah?

Oh I realised the archives can work! but in a really wierd way. U gotta go to 'Profile', then select which ever date u want. The past entries dun appear right away.U still gotta click on 'Entries'. why so ma fan one? Can someone help?! Pretty pls???!!!!!!!!

Anyway uploaded pics. Go to 'clickits', under Rojaks. Its a really wierd combination of pics though. bits and pieces here and there.


Oh yar, I saw Charmaine at MoS that day. The one from church. She slimmed down so much, but still recognizable la. haha

Changed my skin. Pretty obvious ain't it? haha. but dang, the archives can't work. Ah, memories! (dating back to 2003)

I dun like Ministry of Sound. I expected much more, but alas, it wasn't as good as I expected it to be. Needless to say, the crowd was friggin bad. The whole place was packed like shit we had to wriggle our way. Not that I'm surprised anyway. Just that, uh...aiyah dunno lar. dun like that place thats all. Anyway my sis and friends left for supper damn early, leaving me Vicki Shumin and Desmond. Worse still, Vicki felt so sick and pukish after all her drinks, so we bascially waited outside while she tried to induce her vomit but she couldn't, and still felt very sick. So Desmond decided to bring her home to rest, and that leaves me and Shumin, the two of us, clubbing on our own. From a grp of abt 10, it dwindled to just the two of us. heh.

Must work tonight. so sian and so tired and so sleepy. I'm gonna sleep first. adios!

My mum thinks I'm very hiong.

Mum: wah, u're very hiong ah?!

haha.nvm.inside joke.

Anyway Chinese New Year is very much the same, just that I have a few ang pows less this year.
Relatives always say/ask the same thing EVERY YEAR. haha, damn funny. But I guess the older generations are like that.

Sometimes in Eng, sometimes in Mandarin,

'got boyfriend or not?'
(when you say no, they will go like 'dun bluff la, really meh? 18 yrs old already leh'. And its worse if u say yes, cos they'll then ask why isn't he here. haha.)

'wah getting taller every year ah?'

So, I figured the best way out of such situations is to just smile and not answer. Maybe I should just learn from my friend, and say, "aiyah, its complicated la, dun ask". haha its a pretty good answer yeah? heh.

Slept at like 5.30 last night and woke up at 9.30, only to feel dizzy with an on-off headache. Now my back is aching so much. The feeling sucks. Not that I drank alot last night. Prob its due to my not-recovered-yet flu and sore throat, plus of cos, a serious lack of sleep.

Anyway last night the music at Black sucked so much. It was as bad, if not worse then the other time. To think we all thought it would get better later in the night. Angie Amanda and co couldn't stand it they decided to waste their $18, and went to party world instead. ha!ha!

Yups so didn't go home with Angie after all since Elaine Kel Desmond and friends and I left at 3.30. Desmond was nice enough to offer to see me home (Read this: The Best Friend! haha!), but anyway my sis and Donald decided to fetch me home instead. I got a good korkor hor? haha.

My back aches lar. sigh.

Bored at home. Oh anyway I've watched the second disc of Rain's concert. haha. I think I better not go on and on abt him. I noe it bores some pple. heh!

Meanwhile, as I am blogging, I'm thinking of what to do to pass my time before meeting Elaine and Yitshan later for dinner.

Hope tonight's party is gonna be fun, though THE BEST FRIEND is not gg. ha!

my throat is hurting so so so badly. and my flu's no better. sucks pls. like WHY AM I FALLING SICK WHEN CHINESE NEW YEAR IS JUST ROUND THE CORNER??!!!!!!!!!!

I shouldn't have eaten so much rubbish. er but then again, I didn't eat alot what. I basically went sampling at Taka Sq thats all. and I didn't eat alot of bakwa (an addiction) compared to last yr.

I just hope I get better tmr (if not completely well), I certainly dun wanna go clubbing with a bad throat and runny nose. sucha spoiler.

SIGH.my never-ending flow of mucus.


Anyway talked abt lotsa stuff which I had nv imagined talking abt with Vic and Alicia last night. Basically Alicia shared alot, and the two lovelies gave lotsa advie and stuff. =))


Hope to meet up with Pet next week! haven't seen her for quite some time! Hope our off-days coincide!
Pet: if u're reading this, tag my blog to let me now when are ur off days next week yes? =)

Yest was the first outing with my sis and korkor (thats Donald by the way). We had bbq buffet at Yuki and Yaki (colourful but disgusting ice-cream), after which I was so bloated my stomach felt like it would explode anytime. Went to Millenia Walk after lunch for the Geisha Exhibition. (dun even get me started into that!). The exhibition was uh...well....SAD!. haha. I dun think its even an exhibition! oh wells.
Donald drove us to town after that, and we just basically walked ard and oh. my sis bought me a pair of earings! yay!

Went to my uncle's place in the evening for reunion dinner. Buffet AGAIN. I didn't eat much la, due to the afternoon buffet!what a waste!..haha.

Anyway for more of yesterday, just read Donald's blog la. haha. got pictures somemore.

Finished reading When Broken Flowers Float by Chanrithy Him. Its one of the books that really leaves an impression in me. Its enriching, and really gives us an insight to life under the Khmer Rouge. Abit like Clay Marble la, though NOT REALLY so much alike. haha.its just somewhere along that line, if u get the drift. By the way, the book is a real life account of the author. Er is that biography or autobiography ah? haha I always get them mixed up!


Watched Cheaper By a Dozen yest. Its hilariously funny. Watch it if u have time!. Though when Faris asked me if its one of those movies that u would watch over and over again, I said no, but its really not bad if u have too much time to kill! ha! ha!.

I'm so so so so so so so so gonna watch Memoirs of a Geisha soon! Its like sucha.....MUST WATCH!. After all the publicity and hoo haa about it!. The book was good, at least I felt so, so I guess I'm gonna expect quite alot from the show! Oh yeah, I'll probably go for the Geisha Exhibit this weekend with sis and Donald! haha! I'm sucha buggerrrrr larrrrrrrr. But no choice, no one to go with! so...yeah lor. heh!

Claire: work was ok. I didn't make any serious blunders. haha. but twas boring. those 7 hrs there seemed like an eternity! ( since I didn't noe anyone)

Anyway. sudden downpour today. haha.

Cheaper by a dozen is pretty hilarious and entertaining, though it might not appeal to some pple.

ok, off to sleep. very tired!

Paragon tmr. I'm so not looking forward. SIGH.

I didn't realise yest was Fri the 13th until I went to work. haha.

Oh yeah. today I was a total klutz at work.
I served the wrong food to the wrong table.
I spilled coffee in front of the ang moh customer, whom we all think is very cute. not that I cared la. cute or not, I'd still be equally embarrassed.

I realised I have a phobia of waitressing. I can't balance for nuts and everything just wobbles and spill out at the sides. SIGH.
And I'm helping out at Paragon on Tues la. I won't noe a single soul there, and I'd be equally clumsy. So depressing. It isn't so stressful at my current outlet cos the pple there are nice and understanding. Quote from Adrian "if u dun spill or break anything, u're not waitressing". But who noes, I might get a earful from the Paragon manager. Wish me luck for this Tues. I need it.

the wierdest, yet the sweetest.for now.

I'm freezing.
I doubt we'll be seeing the sun anytime soon.
The weather now is nice to sleep in, but not nice at all when u're trapped outside.

Oh wells. The Dark is not nice at all. dun watch.

Oh yar, I'm gonna take down the music from my blog. Read today's Home Pg 7 and u'll noe why. haha. I'm very kiasi.

I'm beginning to enjoy my work pretty much. esp since I'm getting to know my colleagues better.

Anyway I learnt ABIT of bar from Farrah today.heh. ABIT. haha now I can do a erm..hazelnuttae and lattae and cappucino?. oh and ice passion tea also. haha.
thats like very few, compared to all the drinks and gourmet coffee in the menu that we must learn, but, at least better than nth hor? haha. it was quite fun actually, and I'm looking forward to learning bar.haha.

Last Sat I found a spetula and a plastic bottle in my bag as I was abt to knock off. Today, inside my bag was a teacup and a cake spade.
Yes, thanks to Adrian who derives much pleasure from hiding these little things in our bags. haha.


I guess thats abt it.
Oh yeah, nice weather to sleep.=))



Oh I forgot. I needa rant abt my bus fare.
I paid like a freaking 90 cents for my bus fare today la. yea, not alot, but ALOT when its only like 4 stops?!
Cos my ez-link card had no more value, so had to pay cash. wahlao so ex plssssssssssssssssssss. This is so depressing. Maybe I shouldn't go out so often. haha.

oh fish.

I just realised I haven't been tapping my ez-link card when I alight the bus since 01/01/06.
HOW!? and I wouldn't have realised if not for my friend. wah luckily man. better late than nv. no wonder my card value depletes so fast.

ADULT FARE NOW LEH.

some kind pple pls remind me now and then to TAP MY EZ-LINK card when I alight can. thx.

work today was fun. Adrian nv fails to crack us up with his funny antics (ie, hiding Zarina's pouch in the cake box).

anyway. I feel so sleepy. I think I'm gonna sleep for awhile.hha!

wah I'm so damn proud of myself. I woke up early this morn to jog!..this only proves how guilty and upset I am abt yest.
as u all should noe, it takes ALOT for me to drag myself out of bed early in the morn to exercise.

I'm THINKING of jogging once a week. Like I said, I'm THINKING. haha. but ahh...I think I'll be too lazy!!!!!!
Then again, I really really need a jogging routine.

I'm utterly disappointed at myself. maybe even disgusted.

I had cereal in the morn, then followed by the super rich and chocolatey Marriot Hotel chocolate cake. Then just stoned on the sofa. and fell asleep. feeling full. thats like so unhealthy!
Woke up. ate Pineapple rice. had a bar of kitkat chocolate. Then slept after my meal. Again.
Woke up, ate a Merci chocolate. Tried to read Manga (gave up after a while. couldn't exactly follow the Chinese characters after one yr of not touching Chinese). Watched TV. Had dinner.

After dinner. Stoned on the sofa. And fell asleep. Woke up. Ate somemore chocolate cake. and 3 Tanjong Rhu paus.

Oh man. I'm sucha glutton. wth. I'm so disappointed at myself. lack of self-ctrl and discipline. I realised I give in to temptations damn easily.

It wouldn't have been that bad if I had walked or moved around. I bascially just ate and sat and slept. The entire friggin day.

I just sat at my fav corner on the sofa and didn't move much, except during toilet breaks, and onlining. Even during mealtimes I plonked myself on the sofa.

COUCH POTATO LEH! sucks.

I rotted/wasted my entire day at home!

And ate damn alot of sin food.



I scared leh. how?

I'm suddenly back into J-rock. haha. X-JAPAN is really good lar.
Was browsing through my music folder yest night and realised that I haven't touched the J-Rock folder in ages.
So yeap.

ahHhHhhhHHhh...

u guys noe what? I'm staying put at Coffee Club. Adrian's really really nice to accomodate my request, and like what Stuart told me, u can't find any managers as nice as Adrian. I'll have to go with that. seriously.
so yay. I've made a decision!. I dun feel so dui4 bu4 qi3 Adrian now. and haha, uniform nicer also.

Went to SAJC with Vic and Des in the morn. Big cpd, but it has lost its cosyness somehow. Saw Mrs Leow. I just like her so much! =))


Town with Eugene in the afternoon. Pool was er....atrocious. I suck. totally. and Eugene's like pro. oh wells.
The Family Stone was ok la. not that fantastic, but entertaining?.haha.

ok then.
guess thats all abt it.


oh yeah. the song's by Rain. ha!

yay. thanks brudder! =))

Omg I really dislike making decisions. esp when I can't decide. Went for Bakerzin today with Pet and she took up the job imm. I told the manager I'd decide by tmr. But I can't decide!

Bakerzin
Pros
-Pet would be there (yay a friend!)
-Can work more days and more hrs though only part time (can earn more and spend more)

Cons
-uniform sucks (I prefer Coffee Club's)
-can't eat free food (coffee club can eat anything I want. hmm. but can get to diet at Bakerzin?)


Coffee Club
Pros
-Already adapted to the env (I dun like to readapt leh!)
-Adrian and Farrah very nice! ( I feel so bad towards Adrian. how to tell him!?!)
-Er...free food lor.haha!
-Got cute chef in the cafe opposite Coffee Club (haha!)
-Uniform nicer

Cons
-Only 2 or 3 days a week. and lesser hrs. (earn lesser!)
-No one I'm very close to. no Pet.


HOW??!?!?!

Fianlly finished The Next Big Thing.
A pretty entertaining novel, I say, though not exactly very intellectual. haha!
But hey, we gotta let loose once in a while yea?
Its quite sad to be reading those very cheem and profound novels ALL THE TIME. yeah, they are more enriching, but..still..!!!

And no, that book's not bimbotic, if u have to noe. I've grown out of such books. ( I think.)

Basically its abt this girl who goes onto a reality TV show called From Fat To Fabulous (sth like what we have here in Singapore, if u've caught Villa Wellness), in a bid to lose weight before she meets her online lover, whom she had lied to that she is a size 4 when in reality she is a size 18.

What follows are the twists and also the emotional turmoils and such.

I'm still looking desperately for Shanghai Baby. WHY IS IT ALWAYS ON LOAN AH?!

ok. gonna get ready to meet Pet soon. After that would be lunch with THE BEST FRIEND (haha!) at Soup Spoon (where Bella's working). I'm gonna job hunt as well. wish me luck!

Gone are the days where I drag myself out of bed at 6.15 am, only to rush like mad to meet Beiying in the 6.45 train to sch.
Used to dread the waking up part so much last time. haha. but it seems sorta wierd now that I can sleep in as late as I want to (when I'm not working, that is). But, itss till good. haha.

I actually miss school life la!.
Then again, I've never really disliked sch life. I do enjoy sch, minus the exams of cos.

Oh wells.

Work was quite good today. But I think I suck at being a waitress.
Farrah had to teach me the correct way of carrying the tray. WITH ONE HAND. yes u didn't see it wrong. WITH ONE HAND.

OMG that is damn difficult. cos....its just...soooo friggin heavy. With just 2 or more items on the tray I already have to balance and struggle like siao.
AND SO PAISEH LAR!


I have no strength. and I can't balance. SIGH.

I like this. www.rainsingapore.com



BIG FAT SIGH.

and nope. its no cos I'm working later.


dun ask why.

Even as 2005 draws to a close, I'm not gonna make any resolutions. (quote from my mum last yr " whats the pt of making resolutions when u dun stick to them, but just list them for the sake of doing so).
And somehow, I agree with her.
So, no resolutions this year.

Rather, I just hope that 2006 may be a healthy and happy year for me and all my loved ones, pple I cherish.

Yeah like that lor.

Anyway, here's wishing all a really HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!

woke up at 8.30. ate slept and just woke up.
must work tonight. big fat sigh. but I'm meeting Eugene before that. for a erm haha 6 min walk.

I'm quite tired of working already la. not that its boring or what. but.. I rather slack at home. haha.


just some randoms.
I've been listening to that few same songs these days.
I just had caramalised banana chips just now.
I think my sms is gonna exceed.SIGH.


ok bye. maybe I wanna go sleep some more before work tonight.

its 4.40 am now and I can't sleep.not that I dun want to. my eyes are like on the verge of closing. but I gotta let my hair dry first. so sian. I am so sleepy pls!

China black was ok. it got better after 1. before that was boring. I appreciated the company though.

Oh and in the end, brother went! haha. thought he pang seh-ed us la.

okok I wanna sleep. bye.

Woke up at 7 in the morn and rushed (note:rushed) down to Shaw Hse for the Isetan pte sale.
But alas (as usual) Vicki was late. She came with her mum anyway. They woke up late.
Not that it mattered alot lar, at least I got into the queue first so they just joined in later. haha. And this pissed the auntie behind me ( the inconsiderate auntie who kept coughing into me) so much that she inched her way to the front.

The sad thing is, despite waking up so early in the morn, I didn't get anything nice at the sale. Vicki and her mum got what they wanted though.
Anyway it was friggin crowded. I hate crowds. haha.

After a very very long time spent inside Isetan, we then went for lunch before heading to Isetan Wisma! Vicki's mum is really a shopping queen can!!!!!! haha.

So the two of us (Vicki and I) left later to meet the rest at Bugis for pool. Quite fun la. At least the place wasn't very crowded.

Ok I guess thats all la. Adios!

did I mention I saw Mrs Leow too at the coffeeshop at Potong Pasir? haha I think I didn't.


yar lor. I saw her. but didn't say hi cos she was enjoying her food. and I was in a rush anyway. haha.

Attempted to visit the new SAJC site today since I was at Potong Pasir. So while my father had his car parked quite a distance away, I wandered off on my own to the new campus. But alas, somehow I ended up at SAS and SAJS! btw very nice leh. haha.

Me: sorry uncle, where is SAJC ah?
Security guard: *puzzled look*
Me: (quick to say) oh! ex-student. can go in right?
Security guard: oh just up ahead. walk straight turn left.
Me: oh okay. thank you. I can just go in like that right? no need any pass or what? (lest I get mistaken for some trespasser or what.
Security guard: shouldn't be a problem la.

And so I looked up ahead but only saw a humongous bulldozer (which blocked my view). Just as I wanted to venture further up, the skies became overcast and it started to drizzle. I knew I had to get back to the car quickly, so I brisk-walked back to the carpark, past the coffeeshops, where I saw many familiar faces.

Anyway ah. The PP neighbourhood has damn alot of things to eat la. Coffeeshops and this little shop that sells tauhuey. I tried the tauhuey there (saw some band pple). Quite nice.

WHY IS IT SO UNFAIR!?!?

When we were still at the old site, we had to TAKE A BUS down to HF or Ikea to eat la!

The crowds that thronged along Orchard today (Boxing Day) is not any better than the last few days leading to Christmas.
It really sucked.
If not for the post-Christmas sale, I really wouldn't have been bothered. haha.

I saw this really quirky fcuk top. but too big. how sad. and it is on SALE.
I like its quirky design. haha.

After shopping with my sis, went home and then off for a nice yummy dinner with Dad Mum Grandma and my Uncle and his family, while my sis went off to meet her ever-dearest prince. oh. btw thats what SHE calls him. haha. how cheesy.heh


Oh yeah anyway Christmas eve, though spent working, was really not bad. Sis came with her prince and grp of friends, Vicki and Eileen too, as well as Alicia and Nic. I talked so much. I hope they dun sack me. =p

Christmas was not bad too. Mass, then an awesome lunch with Dad Mum and Sis. Dinner at Uncle Charles place followed by exchanging of gifts.


And Eugene says can get me a job at Ripcurl. BUT must work on Sun. =/. I guess I'll just stick to coffee club lar.


My sis. <3


Our gingerbread cookies. (baking day at Eileen's)

went to town yest to pass them the cookies, then home, showered, then town again to get the apron from Weiyan (yes less than 5 mins), then home, dinner, 10min nap, then work.

5 hrs of standing, it was quite ok though. work was not bad, realised that the other part-timers are a pretty funny bunch. And whole time they were just jacking Adrian our manager, who is a self-proclaimed Ah Beng. haha I think he looks more metro than ah beng. Anyway he gave Adeline and I a lift home so that we won't have to claim cab fare.


Work later again.=/. on Christmas eve. But it'd be not bad I guess, since Vicki and Eileen would be coming down, and so is my sis and her friends. yay. I like visitors.=)


Anyway to all :

MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!!!!

Heading off to Eileen's later for baking session. Think cookies (not premix okay) and gingerbread man. Once again, it'd be the four of us again. Finally.=)

Watched Saw 2 yest since kumpung bro had a free tix. Awfully gruesome and sadistic.And sick to the guts. Really. Not too bad a show, it has its exciting moments. But pls, dun eat before the show.
It just seems like the director/scriptwriter is a psycho path with nth but sadistic thoughts.


Ah. Pool after a yr. I was quite bad, and xia-suayed bro. But slowly got the hang of it again. I say, good teacher aye?

Next week 28th!


Ciao then. Cookies and gingerbread I shall come.

Work today was quite fun I say, BUT. I had no FRIGGIN APRON!

I guess cos they have too many ptmers there, so when I worked that day, I was told to return the apron. The last and only apron, which I suppose is the only extra apron.

BUT I think some other part-timer didn't return la! Happily brought home. So no more apron left for me to use today.


EH U THINK THE APRON IS URS AH!? SHARE CAN?!

Its the apron that makes the uniform look good la! wah. Imagine how sad I was when I had no apron to wear.

oh wells.

And I ate a cube of rum and raisin brownie. nice.

I can't stop listening to the Sangdoo OST. The songs are so nice and melodious, maybe even sad-ish. Yeah, I guess they are pretty sad-ish. But I still like. Just that, the last thing they can do would be to make me feel any better. oh heck anyway. I like.

I didn't think I would be able to turn in early last night, but well, I did. Woke up later in the wee hrs to the message alert of my phone, and I realised that msging some pple really does make me feel a lil better.=)

It helps keeps me sane, at least. It sucks that my sms this mth is gonna exceed AGAIN. sucks sucks sucks. Claire, I'm sure u noe how I feel.


Anyway I just remembered, on my first day at work, this grp of girls walked in and ordered desserts and mudpies.
As they savoured their mudpies, they couldn't stop taking pictures of themselves eating their mudpies, a la Joanne Peh-doing-her-ice-cream-ad.

I wanted to roll my eyes at them, but of course, I couldn't.

FIRST DAY AT WORK LEH.

I was thinking, " wah, so bimbotic. Nv eat ice-cream before ah ".

Then I realised how familiar that scene was.

Don't my friends and I always do that too!?

I felt so bad, and decided that perhaps I was just jealous. The grp of gfs were there having so much fun, and I had to work ALONE. with NO FRIENDS with me. I just felt so pathetic. But then again, I guess thats just how it is in the service line la. Serve serve serve. Dun like them still must serve.

WAH, luckily only part-timing.

oh fish.
reading doesn't make me feel any better.
when u really feel like crap, nth can make u feel good.

and yes, depressing shit.

screwwwwwwwwwwwwwww it.

I'm so vexed. so very vexed.
Perhaps the only time when I can forget abt it is when go back to my book. yes story book. not so textbooks.

And my sis is a happy girl now.haha.

Oh.

I'm working on Christmas eve. till past midnight. not that I didn't have a choice though. Just that this other part-timer doesn't want to work on that day, so being nice I decided to cover her duties for her.
After all, its not for free. haha. who doesn't want more money.


Yes, I am so money-faced. whatever. who isn't.


I can't wait I can't wait I can't wait. And I dunno I dunno I dunno.

sigh.

That pretty girl's Friendster profile is not available for 3rd degree viewing now. sad pls. haha. she's like so beautiful. now I can't see her new pics.oh wells.

But.


I'm not les okay. I just think that she's so very attractive.


Pool later maybe. but if the crowd's gonna be bad I'll just stay at home. heh.


And I can't stop looking lar. haha.









we'll do the pink tango, won't we?

Work yest was ok. so much to blog abt it that I've decided not to go into the details. haha.
Just that there wasn't alot for me to do. heh. and I'll get damn fat working there.

oh yar!



And I scratched my hand at work lar!

Going down to Forever21 later to change my skirt. waste my time pls.My Dad saw my skirt and msged my mum saying "ur daughter bought a super mini skirt". haha I thought it was quite hilarious. He didn't like come and tell me straight into my face aye?
And so I tried for my mum to see when she came home and she too decided that I can't take the escalator with that skirt.
Therefore, I shall have to change the skirt for something else.


But the skirt is nice la, um actually yah its short but nice.=)



And Vicki also says its nice lar!

haha. till then. bye.

yay. I can't wait to start work.
work there sounds like fun.

heh.

For those who can appreciate:

Video 1
I Do
Video 2 (Yitshan, this is damn funny lar)

I think this is interesting.

"One of my students was in a clinic last year," Emily says, absently poking the chopstick at the palm of her hand. "Her parents forced her to go when she started growing fur."

"It's the primal survival instinct kicking in. If the body gets too thin, it gets cold because there's not enough fat to keep it warm. It starts growing fur to protect itself."

"It's amazing, isn't it? At the end of the day, humans are all just animals, you know?" She shakes her head in fascination.


See, so dun even try to go on a diet.

Prom's finally over. Pics are up btw. Though Pet carelessly left the prettaye flowers at her salon, things weren't all too bad. Prom wasn't THAT fun, but the food was quite good. Then again, I'm easily satisfied. I eat almost everything.
Clubbing was quite good, just that it was too crowded.

The rushing off to the hotel then home, after Indo, was hectic. But at least it was worthwhile. Malcca was pretty fun. Food was good. Stuff there cheap. Bought several A & F and Hollister t shirts and an A & F skirt, all for less than a hundred S$ I think.

Now, its back to studying highway code, and job-hunting.

Pamela brought over Larc En Ciel's concert vcd yesterday to watch. Erm. Like noise pollution. Save for 1 number, which was nice. Anyway I was more interested in their image. Cos Larc En Ciel does like visual kei (visual rock). But anyway, they've toned down quite a bit, not so goth and um scary-looking already. haha and yes, Hyde is so uh.....pretty. He's like super androgenous. Pretty pretty pretty.

I still can't believe I deliberately screwed up my interview at Roxy yesterday.

I feel so shitified and I'm so very angry with myself for that.

See, so fussy la. I shouldn't have insisted on Ripcurl and a higher pay (Pet and Gen said the pay is already oncsidered not bad). argh.

Now must look for other jobs already.

Meeting Pet soon later. Hope I can find what I need.
John's so funny.He's lazy to get his prom clothes so he asked us to help him get them.
haha. Hope we get sth nice and right for him.

And I feel so unprepared for my basic theory test. Its like on the 13th! And I've no time to study (and yes, no lessons, just self-study). Next week there's prom and other stuff, my week is like packed.
Oh gosh. I can't fail the basic theory test la!

Mum: " no one fails basic theory, so u better pass."

If I fail (*choi), it will be so paiseh!

Then again, I dun think its very easy leh, all the different markings on the road etc are really confusing me. I can't just memorise this time. I need to understand.

Oh wells. Pia my theory tmr, before prom.

when u've been trying so hard for two consecutive nights and it still doesn't work, u just want to puke blood.


Went shopping with Alicia yest (Claire met us later) and bought a pair of shoes. I think it looks quite nice, not too casual, yet not overly chi-chi.
Saw this really nice skirt, but a pity it was the only piece left, so I gave it up to Alicia. I'm like so nice please. The skirt's really really pretty anyway.

oh yeah, the first three and last three episodes of Sangdoo are enough to make me cry.

Tell me sth new, tell me sth I dunno.

I think it would have been very exciting if we had been earlier.


I'm currently watching Sangdoo Let's Go To School. HAHA! (first three episodes)
And because his role in there is pretty pathetic, he plays a giggolo, I decided that I shouldn't ruin my image of him (as in Full House), so I'm only gonna watch the last episode.

Nonetheless, he looks good in that show. His hair is different, and it looks nice.


BYE!

And they all tell me to wake up from my dream.......

I've finally finished Full House. =)
Then again, its sad to finish it so soon. Good shows have to be watched slowly aye?
I should have limited myself to like an episode a day.

Oh wells, I think I'll watch it again when my sis watches it.HAHA!
And although Amanda thinks Ji En should end up with the director, I feel that Young Jae is better. But its quite funny that they got tgt only in the last ep.
But yeah la, Min Hyuk's very eligible also. heh.

So nice.

And I can't believe I cried almost half the show, from ep 10 or 11 onwards.

IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A FUNNY SHOW!

I think its the music.Those tear-inducing music and songs for those um sad scenes.


Small eyes and 184 are the hottest things ever. (for now, at least) , ie,

HAH! I watched abt 3 epi of Full House today. I could watch more, if I didn't have to go out.
So nice plsssssss.

Ok I'm gonna try to finish everything by tonight. haha its highly impossible though.

Bye I'm back to Full House.


Omg Bi Bi Bi Bi Bi is hot

Yay. Liberation Day was marked with reddish violet highlights. Something I've wanted since after Os.
Amanda was supposed to do her hair tgt WITH ME. But decided that it'd make her hair drop more. So she pang seh-ed. ok, not really. She stayed with me througout that 3 hrs, and I'm thankful for that.
Felt so bad cos I think she must be bored shit.
Thats not the pt.

The pt is, the guy who did my hair is cute cute cute! He looks like Roy Chiu la. omg. not that I like Roy CHiu or what, just that Roy Chiu is undeniably good-looking.
Anyway that super ultra cute guy chose my colour for me and I was REALLY ok with it.

Amanda: "eh why did u look so gloomy and sulky when he was doing ur hair?"

Me:"got meh?"

A:" yeah la!"

Me:" Then how? u dun expect me to smile to myself while looking at myself in the mirror what"

A:" yeah! but u noe ah, he needs reassurance that u are ok with what he did what!"

(Actually, I had to agreee. He kept asking me if it was ok. repeatedly. )

Me: "But I acknowledged him what! I said 'yeah'." ( actually I think I just mumbled 'yeah')
Amanda:"But u were looking so sulky.You should have at least smiled and said 'yeah' ".

She thinks I should have been more enthusiastic.
And yeah, come to think of it, I think I kinda sulked throughout.
I think its because I'm very very upset that my face is shedding and my skin is peeling out. sigh.

But the stylist was really cute lar, and the colour he chose was really really ok.=)

He is so cute larrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.


Yay I got Full House from Amanda. Think I'm gonna Full House all the way. HAHA.

Everyone's so excited, everyone is so anticipating Liberation Day.
It doesn't help that my friends and I message each other so very often, telling each other of our Post As plans.

P:"after exams I must exercise alot, can go rollerbalding"

J:"haha yeah me too, lets go cycling"

P:"I can't cycle la, can we go roller blading instead"

J:"huh but I'm very lousy at it. The last time I roller bladed was in P3 la, and not very good also.
But nvm la, are u good? u can teach me again."

P:"haha No. I'm very lousy too!Ask Amada la, maybe she can."

J:"Eh Amanda can u roller blade?"

A:"No I can't for nuts! Why? U wanna go ah?"

Okay. Thats all lor. Bye!

Thurs Thurs come quick pls.

This is so tempting. sheesh.
http://www.footshopping.com/db/default.cfm?MI=31
Click 'Sale' on the top. Then on the left-hand side, select 'Papillio See Sale' by clicking on the scroll bar.
The prices are like so cheap!. Okay. not THAT cheap, but cheaper then usual. At least cheaper than in Singapore. But the shipping fees suck.


Check out this Heidi Klum by Birkenstocks. It costs a whooping 377.=/
But pretty.




If I had the money.

I think Leslie Kwok is hot. though he has a VERY wierd sing-song Mandarin accent.

I thought I saw Gabriel on the train a few days back. or rather, someone who resembled him.
It turned out to be him after all.

Nth much besides that.

ok bye I wanna sleep.

Oh yeah, I'm captivated by that very pretty girl I saw on Friendster. If I were a guy, I'd fall in love with her. Though Pet insists she is not beautiful, just attractive. Well, I think she is VERY PRETTY la.

It doesn't help that Pet and I keep having post-As fantasies.

From wanting to go to Wild Wild Wet (Pet, that is. I've nv been a fan of such water activites), to going on shopping trips, to wanting to pick up tennis from John etc. The list just nv ends, does it? I'm sure many of us students have a million and 1 things to do after As. I wouldn't be surprised if we end up being even busier!

Just as both of us were so worried abt fantasising too much, I learnt from Yitshan that its not only the two of us. That made me feel a tad better.

Right now, I just can't wait.=)

As I'm typing this, its raining like crap out there. First it was just the overcast skies, then suddenly a bolt of thunder and a gust strong wind that sent the window film flapping, that scared me like shit, jolting me out of my seat as I was in the midst of viewing Zerlina's profile.

So scary lar!
The rain was so heavy, the wind and thunder so menancing, I couldn't help but let my thoughts run wild.

First was Tsunami, then Katrina, then Wilma. Who knows what might hit Singapore.
I was so worried( and still worried now. the rain's not getting any lighter as I blog) that this thunderstom would mark the beginning of yet another disaster by the angry Mother Nature.

Seriously, u really wouldn't blame for having such thoughts if u've read the newspapers 2 Saturdays ago, abt a disaster swarming Singapore and Malaysia due to the epicentre shifting Northwards.
Just another rumour.
Well, I think not. Esp since this is coming from the expert metereologist who predicted the Decmber tsunami.

Scary? I bet u it is.

Oh wellss. Nth can be done though.




On to something nicer.
I think Kahlen's covergirl shot is to die for. She looked awefully gorgeous, awefully awesome.
And I actually cried during Stairway yesterday. argh. in front of my mum and sis.
But hey, isn't that what is expected of Korean Dramas viewers?

Ok, nice weather to sleep. Bye!

Its all about the Ocean.

Clorets Ocean mint, Ocean Deep.

Mugged out with Pet and John today.
Pet was a true blue bimbo.
-refused to step into the cubicle cos of a big fly buzzing abt in the toilet.probably the size of a 5 cent coin.
-rather walk 1000 miles to the other toilet.
-didn't know that Bugis is actually just next to City Hall. (I know my directions better than her since I led the way though she was supposed too.)
-fraked out when a tiny insect, I mean really tiny, as microscopic as a speck of dust, hovered above her paper.

haha. all in all. was great fun laughing at her.


Amanda's watching Full House!argh.

Photos are up.
Today's the official last day of sch. Didn't exactly feel very sad or what, but I'll have to admit that there are gonna be many things I'll miss. Like Mrs Leow. She's so cute, u'll never know what I mean, unless u're from 04S61.
We were all snapping away, and eating away as well. Food was quite good la. Maybe I was just too hungry. Heh. A small guide cookie can't make a good breakfast.


AND I'M SO VERY ANGRY AND PISSED!
I didn't get to eat the chicken rice yesterday for the last time la! Thought yest would be a good chance to eat chicken rice, after depriving myself of it for the past 1 yr, but alas I didn't. There wasn't any left by the time I went down to the cafe. sad sad sad.

Look Claire, its an update!

If u're able to read this, it means that blogger is alright now.

I've so many things I wanna blog about, but I can't put them altogether just as yet. Lazy, maybe. ha!ha!

Anyway J8 has changed so much I nearly got lost there yesterday. The last time I've been there was like erm, 2 yrs ago, and there wasn't many eateries. That's not the point anyway.
Collected 13 tins of cookies from the guide house, and they were really pretty heavy. Thank goodness Sharon helped me flagged down a cab, and the cab-driver was a nice guy. He offered to help me with the bags. This has changed my impression of Singapore cab drivers.=)

And I'm so upset I can't join them for the bbq and stayover. This is sucha torment, for I'm sure they've have lots of fun!blah.

Oh and Brit's gotten out, what a waste. She's hot stuff.

And really, I noe u guys dun really need this, but just let me say it: Full House!


ha!ha!ha!


okie dokie. Update another day. maybe when Claire updates, I will, too. =)

mjkk

I'm back yet again. I forgot that they're not showing ANTM this week. Haha. To think I waited in front of the TV. Oh wells. I switched to Stairway to Heaven, but today's episode is quite sad, so I've decided to watch only tmr's episode.

Which reminds me of what my mum told me last week,

Mum: next week's one is very sad, I dun wanna watch la.

Me: Why? watch la. I'll still watch, for the guy.

Mum: tsk tsk. watch for what? dun watch la! so sad u aslo wanna watch. I will watch only the happy parts (she meant, when the couple gets back tgt)

Me: I wanna watch la! I'll be so free next Mon!Why are u stopping me ah?
So funny la. Its my freedom la, just because next week's episode is sad, u dun want me to watch. haha. (I was like laughing already la)

Me: I'll deliberately watch in ur room, becasue I'm sure u will sure watch when I switch on the TV. (haha, 2 weeks before she didn't wanna watch because it was still at the sad part, but she ended up watching eventually!)

Mum: aiyah u wanna watch u watch la. So sad, the evil step sister, I will only watch on Tues. U can watch if u one la, but dun watch in my room.


See, so I did heed my mother's advice after all. For the sight of the evil stepsister and step mother, and their hypocracy made me feel awfully disgusted.Oh wells, whats new of Korean dramas anyway.

YAY! No prizes for guessing why.

Nice breakfast, hair cut (ok, TRIM), shopping, dinner.


The day in short.

Ok, I'm gonna watch ANTM now. Kahlen and Brittany are one of my favs. Kahlen's so sweet, Brit's so hot.

Shrouded by the gentle breeze,
Comforted by the overwhelming serenity.
Listening to the occasional pit-a-pat
of the light afternoon rain,
The wind chime sings.
Tingaling, chingaling, tingaling,
Music dancing in the air.
In the corner of her seat,
By the lamp, dimly lit.
Embraced by the tranquility,
On the wet, windy Saturday noon.
Oh, why wouldn't time just freeze.

For those who didn't catch the first ep of Pride, well u missed out on alot. HAHA. but there's more to come anyway.












And anyway, small eyes are in. Like Kwon Sang Woo. At least, this is what I think so, for now, after Stairway to Heaven last night. ha.

The " help save my rubber snake! its dying!" dream. I thought it was really funny when Amanda told me abt the dream that she had.

Anyway, thats not the pt of this entry.

I was flipping through the Sports Section of the papers yesterday ( very rare, since I usually give that section a miss), and there was this big picture of Michael Owen, carrying a little girl (a very cute girl). Boy oh boy Michael Owen is very good-looking. Yeah tell me whats new man.
And I thought that girl is damn lucky!


The caption below read sth like ".........daughter.............."
I was shocked, albeit disappointed.
HE ACTUALLY HAS A DAUGHTER?!!??!
SINCE WHEN WAS HE EVEN MARRIED??!!?


I realised that I've been so ignorant, but nonetheless, decided to share this piece of mind-blowing (yeah right) news with my sis. I guessed she wouldn't know abt this.
And she didn't, thank goodness.
The last thing I'd want from her would be "u mean u didn't know?? slow la!".


And so at night, as my mum was reading the papers (Sports Section), I happened to walk past her and that gorgeaou picture of Michael Owen caught my eye again.
I couldn't help but exclaim to my mum "eh Mummy, he is very cute right! super good-looking!And the girl too!Very pretty!

Mum: "yeah! very!"

me: "do u know that she is his daughter?"

Mum: "he is married?!?!"


Surely, this tells us something?
Oh wells.


Oh and after watching Project Superstar last night, I've come to realise tha JJ can really sing. I used find him really u***-looking, and now I feel quite bad abt it. But then again, though he siungs really well, really nice songs, he still uh.. looks kind of the same la.
A "singer", as the word itself implies, needs to be able to sing, and looks are considered primary.
And since JJ can REALLY sing, that makes him a good singer. And so now I approve of Eileen supporting JJ. I take back the"eee he's so u***" comment I made last time to her.

haha though ironic, I still feel that that doesn't quite justify the fact that Kelvin won Kelly. Unless. Unless Kelvin is capable of being the next Stevie Wonder.



Oh and a kind reminder to all that Pride is starting next Tues. Its a damn nice drama, abt ice-hockey. Starring the likes of Takuya Kimura and Kenji Sakaguchi.The drool-worthy Takuya to the drama, is just like chilli to chicken rice ( nice w/o chilli, but nicer with chilli).

And yes, bad analogy, but u get the point.





I'd be good if she doesn't mess up.

The Snake

I still can remember how my heart was thumping so wildly in trepidation when I saw that slimy rubbery thingamajig in my locker that day. ok, not quite so MY locker. Our shared locker then. Mush Sharon and I.

My locker, as usual, was very full and things were already on the verge of spilling out. I had to like dig and attempt to make some room for the stack of papers, and as I was doing so, admist the files, books, Marks And Spencer's Biscuits, Table Tennis rackets, I saw a thick, black, rubbery slimy coiled up thing behind the PW file. I was shocked and my first thought was " SNAKE!" and wasted no time in taking a step back. I must have been at least a metre away from the locker.
Oh and u know what?I didn't scream la. Not that I didn't want to, I just couldn't. I was too shocked to even open my mouth. I just stood there, staring straight at my locker. And no, I'm not exaggerating. Its THAT scary, esp when u least expect a snake to be lying in ur locker. Think: how can a snake even get into the locker. I was too shaken to even think how it'd be poosible.

It was only after I regained my composure after a min or so, that I called out to Kumar who was also at his locker near mine, somewhat oblivious to all the trauma that I had just been subjected to.

" uh eh....I think there's a snake in my locker."
" huh?" (expected reaction)

Kumar peered in, and decided to use whatever he was holding to poke at that awful black coiled up snake.Very cautiously.
I know it sounds really silly (and not that I wish to say, bimbotic), but at that pt of time, I was thinking to myself, the snake better not attack Kumar, because if he gets hurt or what, I'd be held responsible.

"its rubber".

Phew. I was so relived, but still equally traumatised.

Oh wells, I confronted Sharon later on, telling her how badly that long rubber TOY snake had scared the shit out of me, and she denied that she had anything to do with it, and that it was Mush's. And of coz, I did complain to Mush the next day.

Thats what happens when u try to save 8 dollars and share a locker.argh.



Oh and my friend had a fine time in the library. =)

Buffet dinner (Grandma's birthday dinner) at Auntie Anne's place on Sunday was great. Good food. (duh the food was good, I chose them! Mummy kindly gave me the honour of selecting those buffet dishes). No prizes for guessing the dishes on the buffet table. (if u noe what my favourites are). I actually pigged out like nobody's business that day.

This was what made me feel better, and less guilty.

Me (to my sis): eh we go jogging tomorrow ok?

My sis: (enthusiastically) Okok!Burn off those calories.

Me: Must wake up early ah. Cannot oversleep!

This, I reckon, is just a form of consolation in itself. Probably to make us feel LESS bad about eating so much.

WHY?

As expected we woke up late. very late. Jogging? What jogging? Its close to lunch!

Back to the dinner that night, I actually karaoke-ed with Rei and Sarah. haha. well, not surprising, since I believe I can sing. haha its just that I'm shy. awfully shy. thats why I never like to sing in front of my friends.

Just digressing a little, the cocktail almond jelly was so good. I just hope I dun get addicted to it like Amanda!.


OK bye.

I think our sch's quite cool to actually engage barbers. It was really funny seeing how agonized/traumatised those poor blokes were after having their hair cut. And no, I'm not gloating over their predicament or whatever, I just think that our sch's quite cool.

Oh wells, oh wells. Thats all for now.

Killing Me Softly With His Song
Roberta Flack

Strumming my pain with his fingers,
singing my life with his words,
killing me softly with his song,
killing me softly with his song,
telling my whole life with his words,
killing me softly with his song

I heard he sang a good song,
I heard he had a style,
And so I came to see him to listen for a while
And there he was this young boy, a stranger to my eyes.
I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd,
I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud.
I prayed that he would finish but he just kept right on.
He sang as if he knew me in all my dark despair
and then he looked right through me as if I wasn't there.
But he just came to singing, singing clear and strong.

I'm a one-liner. At least, thats what Amanda thinks.

no, actually I am a 2-liner. Amanda IS the one-liner. haha.

Where u're alone and life is making u lonely,
U can also go Downtown!

And thats 2 lines.

And it isn't my fault that this song keeps playing in my head. And yes, I am so irritated by my own singing too, but I just can't help singing it!!!!!!!

Jiemei was so funny today during Bio Lec (on the topic on Sexual Reproduction):

Jiemei: If I were a sperm, I wouldn't want to penetrate the egg. I'd die anyway. I might as well swim abt the overy and have fun with my sperm buddies.

I was so extremely tickled by this. Oh wells, it might not seem THAT funy here, but the way he said it as-a-matter-of-factly, was really hilarious.

Finally gotten the pics from Sze. Another album's up.

Pics up!=).

Hui min: dun bother ah. haha. its not nice!

yeah, bad haircut.

To all out there who have been wondering if my blog is stagnant, I'll have u know its not. Thank you very much =)

See, my blog is not stagnant!;]

Oh and yeah, to those who have been asking me to post those pictures taken on our day out (ie Sharon), I will do so soon! As soon as Sze sends me those pics she took. Which may take an eternity.

U guys've gotta watch War of the Worlds I say. Its really good, at least thats what I think.
Watched it yest night with my sis, and seriously its worth the money. The effect's too good, the devastation too real, it scared me a little. HAHA. I read in 8 days that Steven Spielberg actually bought a plane due to be scrapped, cut it up, and used them as props to further portray the extent of the devastation and wreck. hurhurhur. ANd things just can't get better with Tom Cruise as the lead. Like man, he exudes charm pur-lezzzzzzzz!!!!!!!! The very epitome of manly-ness. =)
Looks aside, the story's really not bad. haha a little gruesome though. LIke what Eileen said, " the blood vessels look like the uterus". eucks. haha. I wanna reveal the ending, but I guess I shan't be a spoiler. heh/ Just go watch okayyyyyyyyyy?!?!?!?!. For Tom Cruise's sake, for the story's sake.


Oh and I saw these two very cute little Japanese boys today at the Japanese supermarket, kawaii-ness (yes kawaii-ness, thats how I ever describe cute Japanese boys) bubbling from every pore of their body. HAHA!!!!!And the way they go "oka-san, aji-nomoto te nani?" is enough to melt my heart. oh man, I hope I dun sound like a paedophile, coz I'm really not. heh. I wanna have Japanese kids la!!!!!!! In case u dun see my point, just drop by at Meidiya Supermarket at Clarke Quay or Daiso. Even Kinokuniya has no lack of such little eye candies. Then again, they dun have just little Japanese kids. High sch students are extremely good-lookers too. HEH!.
Anyway, I can't help but wonder why Japanese kids are so cute, but I guess its probably the good genes. U noe, Japanese mothers are ever so elegant, graceful, and beautiful. For the sake of my future child, I think I'll marry a Japanese. Hmmm maybe a Japanese pilot, since I think pilots are damn cool. HEH HEH. Dream on, Joyce.

Okaay, thats about it. I'm gonna read a book soon. yay!. And then its naruto-ing, sleeping, eating, playing and fun-ing. Delightfully delightful.

I have not the slightest idea why I've decided to blog about being a guide, maybe its just an attempt to inject abit of life to my otherwise stagnant blog. Or, maybe not.

Yeah, so I was a guide. Girl Guide. I've not regretted being one (cliche cliche but so true). The pretty lil' blue uniform, the many friends, there's just no reason why I should ever regret being a guide. Oh and not to forget, the many campfires. Then again, I can't really remember how many campfires I had attended, not many, I guess. SMSS, ACSI, RV,RI, I'm not really sure if there's somemore, but heck, I'm pretty sure I didn't attend alot. Maybe, a tinge of regret here. Oh wells.

But I could have tried a little harder at being a better guide. Hmm, whats better? I dun noe too, I was active and all, but somehow I just lacked something. Maybe I just didn't know enough.

When I tell pple I wasn't a very "good" guide, everyone just goes " HUH u're kidding! How can!?President Guide leh!"
(have I ever mentioned I was a President Guide? haha no I'm not boasting or what shit. Just letting out a fact).


Yes I'm (was) a President Guide, but I'm not even a YA now. Man, the thought of it just sucks pls. But then again, I feel that I dun noe enough to be one.
Hmm its hard to believe that I was a President guide, and I wouldn't blame anyone for not believing, for pple usually go " HUH!? Really ah!?". See my pt? Hmm maybe thats why I feel that I was not a very " good" guide.

I was just lucky to be conferred the PGA title, like seriously. She deserved it much more than me.Really. And it felt so much like crap when I found out I got it instead of her. And no, if u have to know,we didn't fall out because of this. I've got an angel of a friend. The process and training we had to endure to get PGA was crazy and trying, yet it only served to bring us closer. So for that, I'm really thankful. (yes cliche too).

To cut a long story short, I enjoyed being a guide. And if I were a guy, I'd be a scout. I'm not joking.

Ummm, can I just say again that I'm (was) a President Guide? haha. Just let me bask in that bit of glory la. But a title, is really just a title.




I'll have no sunnyside up from u.

Maybe I should try not to be such a couch potato.
It is bad.

Oh and I've promised Eileen I'd sew her pants for her lil bears, Lil Sam and Lil Eileen (how um.. typical of her).
But here is a girl who got her Mum to do her sewing projects for Art during her Primary school days.
Not to mention, she still hardly touches needles and threads now.

The underline?: I suck at sewing.Big time.

I shouldn't have made that promise.


HOW?!

It hurt to ignore you, to not acknowledge your presence. It sucked even more to walk away from u, despite u standing alone at that corner. She just couldn't face u. She really couldn't look right into ur eyes.

And yes, its her fault. No one's saying its not her fault, and she knows it. She screwed up big time, and she feels like crap now. And she shall ATTEMPT to make up for it. Maybe when the cows come home.
