after the one week of terribly boring life... Finally...

chao coffee

2008-12-11T07:51:00.002+08:00

it's 7++ in the morning now, and im awake after having 2 cups of coffee last night. this is quite torturous. im tired, want to sleep, but cant. haha, on the brighter side, i get to enjoy the morning peace, and see how the room gets brighter in every few mins. havent been up so early for a really long time, i woke up at 6.30 this morning when i slept at 3 plus,the power of caffeine~ i finally understand what ah seng, jeffrey and cy have exprienced.

haha...

take a longggg break

2008-12-05T01:50:00.002+08:00

it is now the second week of my holiday, with around 4 more weeks to the start of the next sem. didnt have intention to work this holiday, other than gibing tuitions. cause if i were to take up a 5 day-work-week job, and with my tuitions, i would have lost the entire 1 month break. so after much thoughts, ive decided to stick my butt at home, and forgo the moneyyy. i still hope i can find a temp job and i mean those really temp ones, maybe a one-off job. it's hard. haha...

since im spending my hols with so much time to do almost anything i want, so long as my savings can tahan, i seriously think i ought to do those stuff that ive always wanted to do but complained for the lack of time.

heh, for this first week of break, ive been enjoying food, movies, stayover, and watching taiwan dramas. cleared Zuan jiao yu dao ai, and now chionging Miss No Good.
been having lots of sleep, basically sleeping almost 12 hours everyday. the most unbelieveable record was today- slept at 3am and woke up at 2.30pm. hoho, 2.30 is record breaking!

shall really start on doing more meaningful stuff soon (:

my friend, ah hua.

2008-12-02T03:28:00.001+08:00

introduce my another indon friend to you. she's jennifer, same sec sch and same jc as tj. yes, tzejie. singapore is really small.

anyway, i got to know her thru jeffrey... she's his fei wen nu you. hahaha~
we normally call her ah hua. sounds very 'song', but this makes it fun. hahaha.
ah hua has went back to indo for holiday and would probably get to see her only when next sem starts.

taken one photo with her on the day we had our last paper. was having lunch at can 2. (:

scapeblog- cheryl & pl

2008-12-01T01:28:00.005+08:00

scapblogged again. haha... here's an album of me and cheryl (:

life after exams

2008-11-25T03:13:00.004+08:00

exams are finally over! the papers are really hard and lets just hope the bell curve will make things better. sem 1 has also come to an end. that's really fast. i can still remember the first day of orientation so clearly, as though it was just yesterday. who said it's hard to make good friends in uni, waha, i've formed a group already can. they are my bridge partners/dialect mate/gossip grp (oh no)/mugger grp.

havent been enjoying life for past 2 weeks. life simply evolves around ntu, jp, home, jp, ntu and the cycle was ongoing for 2 weeks. how bored can this be. thankfully, we managed to catch-up with some 'life' after the last paper, spent our time in town, dine at dingtaifung and chat at gloria (with horrible drinks). going to msia tmr with classmates for kimgary/secret receipe plus seafood. and hopefully more plans for the following month.

meanwhile, it's time to look for tuitions again, to get some fast cash, to replenish my savings, and sponsor my activities. no money, no life. while others are enjoying themselves in indo/taiwan/australia, i shall slave for the month and wait here slowly and sadly for their return ): of course, i'll be able to meet up soon with cheryl & gang for the mini christmas party and to shop for the gifts for exchange. hoho~

1 month ++ of holidayyyy... finally...

scapeblog

2008-11-19T01:20:00.001+08:00

dang dang... scapeblog. how cool is it.
totally enjoy playing with me, save the money on "Made with Love" and save all the time.
shall make more after my last 2 papers. 2 down and 2 more to go...

exammmmmmms

2008-11-16T01:48:00.003+08:00

officially one day left to the Accounting paper. my fav module out of the 4. been mugging with the very fun and smart ppl and made a new friend, jennifer-ah hua. so now, ive 2 indo friends. cool, my first time having close friends from other countries.

anywayyy... good news, all my projects are pretty well done. heh, A for accounting, A for biz law. and high chance for an A for fm. but IT.... lets leave it to fate. since i alr half-died on my IT paper on last wednesday. hoho... all for the entities and ERD. :/

alright, sleep. tmr still got to go sch and mug. tired....

1 week more to go~

happy birthday carmen!

2008-11-02T02:10:00.009+08:00

Happy 19th bday to carmen. finally everyone in our gang has reached 19. 19..... omg, 1 more yr to 20. 20 seriously sound so adult. i still feel like teenager and looks like one can :D

so... we had ashton's grill today and the food was great and the prices... shockingly cheap. i still believe they miss out something in the bill. it's so impossible~ 6 people, each of us have our own food and we still ordered an extra dont know what set. 3 cups of lemon tea, one iced choc. total=$77.90. that's like, around $10 a set? but the price of my sirloin is already $11.90 leh. how wierd. anyway, it's definitely worthwhile to travel all the way to payalebar.

PHOTOSSSS~
(not in complete set, LAZY)

now... cant wait for christmas to come. cause we're celebrating it! and im so tempted to reveal who i've picked! im so tempted to let him/her know! and i super-duperly want to know who's buying the gift for me! ahhh~ must rennnnn. 1 months and 19 days to go.

heh, christmas celebration at tj's hse last yr. cant wait for this year's (:

ahh... only tj nv really change in appearance. haha~

jiayou!

2008-10-30T01:51:00.005+08:00

it's bugis and it's ah chew's deserts again! ahh, just cant get enough of the waterchestnut with egg. too bad it wasnt available that day. anyway, it was still nice to meet up with xue ler (cheryl) for food and more food, plus a little bit of shopping. xue ler is getting so pretty, totally resemble Jie Er in the Hot shot show. big eyes and so slim, complexion getting so good, tall, neat and almost everything a girl would ask for. aww~

so envy her, for the newly renovated house, her ideal room. wah~ i also want. that will be probably 5 to 10 yrs thing? haha, until i get my own $$$ to renovate my house. wahaha, or best, move to a new place! i know im already very xinfu and shldnt demand too much, but then.... it's good to dream and work towards it. an ideal house, ideal room and a ideal living environment. these are the 'lame' stuff that push me to work on okay. i know it's kinda not-noble, un-ambitious. doesnt matter. step by step. yi bu yi bu lai ah...

anyway, it's exactly 2 weeks left to the first paper! hoho, havent start revising for that irritating IT. IT is really like bio: the-hate-it-but-still-have-to-study-it-subject. im really stretching myself to the max ever, ive nv mug this hard before. and definitely not for a 20 marks quiz.

i pray... i hope... the rubber band in me wont snap so soon. hoho~

& pray hard for me that tutor tan wee wee nv see me sleeping in class today... got to pray real hard, thanks to the guy who sat beside me- keep asking and asking weewee questions and made weewee realise im sleeping. haha...

stretching~~~~~~ tell me this isnt my all, tell me i still have unrevealed potential. TELL ME...

SSS-ing: Stress Si Si. hohoho~

tj

2008-10-26T04:08:00.003+08:00

was chatting with tj on msn since around 3am? quite an unexpected chat but at least we managed to update each other on how we are carrying on our lives. tj has always been so caring towards everyone of us in the group, he's someone so sincere, so real. and you always know that he's there or he will be there for you if he can and when you need him to be there. he should be blessed, should be leading the life that he deserves. i really wish he could get well, and i mean total recovery from his injury. im sure carmen and cheryl feel the same. i totally peifu this friend of mine, from the bottom of my heart. he has nv complained, nv blame anyone of anything for all these. Instead, he is grateful for having a bunch of good friends and a caring family. he's optimistic, he cherish each and everything he has got. if only......... i could handle things as well as he does.

i really hope tj can get well soon, and do the stuff he used to do and wanted to do...

and on the other hand, it feels so sick to entertain other ppl who are desperately looking for gf online.
do i look like a marriage consultant? or an agent?!

a song to remember.

2008-10-21T02:40:00.001+08:00

周杰伦 - 说好的幸福呢
词：方文山曲：周杰伦

你的回话凌乱着
在这个时刻
我想起喷泉旁的白鸽
甜蜜散落了
情绪莫名的拉扯
我还爱你呢
伴你断断续续唱着歌
假装没事了
时间过了走了
爱情面临选择
你冷了倦了我哭了
离开时的不快乐
你用卡片手写着
有些爱只给到这真的痛了
怎么了你累了
说好的幸福呢
我懂了不说了
爱淡了梦远了
开心与不开心一一细数着
你再不舍那些爱过的感觉都太深刻
我都还记得
你不等了说好的幸福呢
我错了泪干了
放手了后悔了
只是回忆的音乐盒还旋转着
要怎么停呢

ways to make the face look smaller!

2008-10-18T14:27:00.006+08:00

Tips to make the face look smaller:

it's always about playing with Angles...

1. stick your head close the person beside, slant your head abit, make sure the camera only capture around 75% of the entire face. (choose the better-looking side, normally the side where the hair parting starts)

2. (imparted from jenny) hold your camera high up, then make it face downwards while your eyes move upwards to look at the camera. makes the face look long but at least not wide. wahaha.

What you should avoid if your face is as big as mine, or bigger (sad case):

1. never never never take this kind of photos, whereby the camera is the nearest to you! goodness, not only will face looks big, it makes it look extremely big in comparison to those behing you.

2. dont smile untill so happy... to the extent that your smile enlarges your face, your cheeks are lifted, and your eyes become so small- makes your face looks like the biggest prata ever.

third advice: avoid taking photos with ppl who have small faces. or if possible, try to move a little behind, let others be slightly nearer to the camera compared to you. wahahaha...

last advice: wear shades- they covered a large part of your face! makes the face looks smaller!

wu liao~~

bad hair day.

2008-10-16T00:14:00.008+08:00

presenting to you... my IT project group...

from left to right: me, elizabeth, spencer, jenny, tiffany.

will be presenting on friday plus a IT database project due next week tgt with a presentation of our work. hiong~

****

went for the biz major talk this afternoon... eh, tourism? marketing???

i still wish to do hospitality related stuff leh, and seems like marketing is related to hospitality as well?

anywaysss... i have to do well for the coming exams first.

ahh... holland v is now my library.

***

side-track abit! im so happy!

firstly because one of tuition kid jumped from a fail grade for her math during her mid-yr paper to an A2 grade for the end of year paper!

74 marks, and she was so angry for the 1 mark difference to an A1 grade. we all know that her overall grade would probably be only a B, since she has failed 3 out of 4 of the previous tests/exams.

but! it's really good enough for the vast improvement! (if only i can improve at this rate in uni now) let's hope her parents are not too demanding and would also be satisfied with her results.
haha, it's obvious that she's smart but lazy.

im looking forward to the other 2 tutees' results~ haha...

secondly, im happy because i got the right gift for sharon (:

super nice... the fragrance ~

so happy!

now, i have one more things to add in to my shopping list. let's wait till i resume my tuitions, after my exams.

1.5 more months to go!

steady steady. (obviously trying to hide my stress)

opportunity cost

2008-10-15T00:12:00.003+08:00

i think im mis-treating myself.

the opportunity cost of working towards a dream is huge.

and the thing is... will i get there? and if i do, is that really what i want?

hopefully i will be able to get an answer after tomorrow (:

mr late.

2008-10-13T02:15:00.004+08:00

willy beh was late for 1 hour and 5 mins, super super super late and i waited at the mrt platform, sweated like siao... at least, he has his reasons for being late. if not~~~ qisi.

went for lunch at anchorpoint and then take super bth-ly lame photos. taken a total of near to 120 photos, impossible to upload everything. wahaha, mostly on facebook already!

look at his.... dumb-looking eyes.

haha, this is cool!

he didnt really punch me, in case you wonder.
(cause my expression totally looks real, give me a red star award!)

the xia si ren- big mango ice.

this is funny. i was telling him to stand straight, we compare height. then he suddenly become v tall. i thought he was playing cheat (ie tip-toe) so i looked down. omg, this is his real height and mine. 24cm difference -.-

look at how cruel we are....

squeezing the ... erm, dont know what. into the pathetically small box.

then after that still took it out and happily acting like a animal-lover. (xu wei, LOL)

perming my hair~~~

photos!

absolutely enjoyable (:

meetup with colleagues on 25/9

2008-10-08T01:06:00.004+08:00

haha, after not blogging so long, the itch to blog is back. realised that i havent blog on this very special meetup with my colleagues. havent seen many of them since the day i left orangetee a couple of months back. went for our fav ah chew and plus abit of window shopping with them.

photos!

*****

5 weeks to exams, 3 projects on hand, 3 tutorials every week.
i have to find time to study, luckily my tuitions are ending.
(seriously speaking, i miss some of my tutees quite alot. today was the last session till probably dec, and there's this yiyibushe feel, i want to see their results!)

while they've finished their papers and are on the way to enjoy their holidays, it's time for me to find my own forms of motivation to stay awake during lectures, do tutorials as fast as others (why am i always so slow?!).
and if i really have to be slow, pls let me be the one who is slow and steady (wins the race, haha!)
-.-

pace is so fast here, there're ppl managing their time so well, so i seriously need to plan my time!
i'll mug and take neccessary breaks (like now!) to listen to my fav songs/watch my shows/play bridge/mess with my own stuff to keep myself 'healthy' and happy.
wahaaha~

time to
SLEEP! (gotta wake up at 6.30am tmr)

* i still feel blessed in many ways *

(:

ramen, ice-cream, vokartini & coffeeclub.

2008-09-23T03:13:00.006+08:00

class outing today! & i cut bangs!!! funny eh... haha...

anyway... photos below... (not all though, i've 102 on my camera and 89 on jenny's)

most of the photos are uploaded on facebook! cooooools...

haha, with the lamest ys!

pl, jeffrey, jenny.

the auntie-uncle photo.

with peishan!

with spencer!

the night was superb, seriously. i really enjoyed and if only it didnt end so early... we managed to hope onto the last train get back before 1am. loads of funny jokes, esp ys, who is so so so so funny... the guys really willing to pose for the camera, no matter what kind of expression, so long as i name it, they'll pose with us! haha... and the pub was really great too, the ambience, the band, everything was nice. except for my drink. haha, i dont like it but the rest of them do. haha... shld bring my friends there one day. it's a pub, not club. at clarke quay, super nice. cy, car, cheryl and our clique we shld go there one day... haha...

okay, after having so much fun today, tmr is study day with tiff, jenny and hopefully ys at holland v!

told you, this is a study-hard-play-hard environment.

the sea, the bikes...

2008-09-21T23:28:00.006+08:00

been years since i last laid my butt on the bicycle. i've phobia, after the bad fall when i was in sec 2. the wound was real bad that time and it took weeks to recover. BUT, i cycled again today, FINALLY! with my mum, sis and cousins! it was fun to do these at east coast, and east coast is such a nice place, i just realised. shld go back for the food at the chain of food stores, they looked good. didnt have a chance to touch the food there, cause the paternal family is having chalet there, there's buffet and bbq!

look at the sky, the sand and the grass.... aww... i like this photo!

on the bike, with mum!

haha, take a stroll man, relax... and finally dont have to think of FM, bizlaw, accounting.

i know this looks 'orh-biang' and funny. hahaha...

a dead frog, lying on the shore. hai~

(:

im going for a haircut tmr! and class outing! :D

alright, back to FM project... sian x 1000000000.

new skin new skin!

2008-09-21T03:09:00.004+08:00

My tutorial girls (:

i totally love the colours of this skin! ahh, im back to the grey/black and complemented with aqua blue, neonish colours combi. feels good, black and grey gives a mysterious feel (i like! i dont know why.) and when it's put together with some bright colours, it wont give too much of a sucidal feel. making it even more mysterious in a way! i know you wont understand, but it's okay! as long as i like (:

anyway, tonight is so much like an emo night. been thinking, making silent comparisons between ppl, trying to dig out emo songs, and all in all, im just feeling a little emo tonight.

they say everyone is unique.

but it has been really long, and i havent come across someone who gives me that unfathomable feel, someone who thinks deep. the last person i met was probably 4 yrs ago? this is boring.

i want to meet and know someone like that soon. someone i can talk to without expressing too much, someone who gets what im trying to say easily and keeps it private.

someone who ppl see as clay, but i see him/her as a beautiful piece of artefact.

back from the quizzzzzzzes

2008-09-20T01:51:00.006+08:00

this week was hectic. quizzzzzes, presentations and stuff. wanted to post these photos up 2 weeks back but... no time. (more of an excuse for my laziness, i know, haha.)

anyway, they're taken on miss ong's wedding in a church. was surprised that quite alot of ppl from our class turned up for it. and... everyone has changed.

haha, so here's qx, reena and me. very much different from 2 yrs ago - appearance wise and also the feeling. haha..

quite alot of stuff happened this week. mugged hard for the quiz and seriously enjoyed studying with my yongseng and tiffany. we spent 6.5hours in coffee bean at holland v, with almost no chitchatting at all and... just for that 15 mcqs FM quiz. ultimate, studier even harder than for As.

as for the Accounting quiz, it was held on wednesday 7pm when my lesson for that day ended at 10.30am. spent hours crapping in macs area till 3pm before we went to weenam library to mug.

and today, marks the beginning of our recess break! as part of a celebration, we had a class movie (mama mia!) at jp and there's another class outing on monday! damn cool, shopping in the noon with the girls then the guys will be joining us for dinner and activities after that.

this is a work-hard-play-hard environment. interesting...

2008-09-11T02:58:00.001+08:00

dont let history repeat.

i pray...

peili in specs

2008-09-06T02:05:00.002+08:00

Presenting to you, Peili in specs (-).(-)
you can see that im having quite some fun here...

yah, not too bad la hor? i like the colours (:

miss ong's wedding is on tomorrow! shall TRY and take photos with my jc friends. TRY LA, abit hard.

i hope im going to enjoy my weekend!

i'll do it my way.

2008-09-01T22:47:00.005+08:00

haha, i've changed my mind, im not joining fencing already... was unable to rescheldule my monday tuition to another day cause the tuition kid has something on everyday. besides that, i think i cant really cope with all the tutorials, projects and the 3-days cca commitment. and, i still have another cca in wsc. so, i guess it's better to do well in just one cca rather than ending up with a mess. probably and hopefully, i can go further in wsc. maybe... subcom? let's see how things go on the first orientation (:

i've been spending my 3 hours break on every friday with my tutorial mates, and seriously speaking, i enjoyed that 3 hours alot. we get to sit together for lunch, then chat a little before we go to the library and seperate into our project groups. at least, it makes my long and tiring fridays alot better. as usual, i'll bring my laptop to sch on fridays, and we took photos again. hah.

this week is going to be a killer week esp my friday. tuition on friday at 8pm! after my long and tiring school hours from 8am to 6.30pm!

i'll survive!

on a side note, i went for eye checkup and to do my SPECS on sunday!

haha, i thought i sure sure become short sighted already. so i just pick a pair of cheap specs and when they do the checkup for me, my right eye is still perfect eyesight! and left eye has an astiq (not sure how to spell -.-) of 100 degrees only!

haha, but i paiseh, so just pay and do the specs. haha, it's with orange with black frame!

cool~ my first specs. but im not shortsighted (:

HAHAHA...

gary

2008-08-29T23:36:00.002+08:00

gary made my day!

yes, gary, my ex tuition kid... the chubby, funny and kpo boy...
haha, when i was msn-ing in school's library with my classmates today, gary came and chat with me online... and guess what did he say to me???

"Happy Teachers' Day to you!"

goooooooooodness, im really happy until~~~~~~

it has been so long ago. i've stopped teaching him ever since my jc's prelims. near to a year ago?
and he still take me as a teacher? wah~ touched...

anyway, we've always been chatting online, and he tell me stuff like his chinese results, ask me guess his current cca, show off to me that he's in school team, inform me that he has shifted house, ask me how am i doing, where am i studying now. and today, we were discussing abt the taiwan drama-Hot shot. he was telling me that he likes "yuan da ying" and but i like "dong fang xiang" more! haha, so cool~

aww, kinda miss that cute gary... his lame jokes, i can never forget his funny acts, esp the one when he pull his elastic pants sideways, and exclaimed "wo shou le!".

touched!

make me laugh.

2008-08-28T21:57:00.002+08:00

it's week 4 now, one month of nbs already. time really flies...

after knowing my tutorial mates for near to a month, i realised many of them said i always look tired and i was quiet... haha, quiet? what have happened? everyone who knows me long and well enough would know that peili was and will nv be quiet... haha, but true enough, you will rarely see me in laughter, i'll probably just smile. you wont hear me joke as much, you'll be find me the one doing the listening work rather than initiating or making sarcastic comments...

i've changed?

not really, i wish i can laugh like the way i used to, joke in the mean manner that i used to...
but somehow, things just dont fall that naturally as how they used to...

maybe it's just the beginning, warm up time for me.
maybe life's busy here, you dont even have the time for jokes...

anyway, tell you one shocking thing - i'm going to join fencing :P

Tutorial Mates!

2008-08-23T01:49:00.004+08:00

with my tutorial mates, in ntu's Lee Wee Nam library during the long 3 hours break (:

taken using my laptop :D

monster thia

2008-08-21T23:32:00.002+08:00

haha, school was quite fun - excluding the long long long tutorials, lectures marathon. totally enjoy the breaks spent with my classmates. heh, fun people leh... esp the way they debate over the use of vulgarities, laugh till peng.

and and! i've this lame friend, elizabeth thia (i like her surname, sounds like some royal family) haha, anyway, she's the one who can lame around with me, i can reveal my lame side already!
this is my makeover for her, using the nbs jacket and some tissue papers. monster thia!

anyways, tomorrow is a long day, and i need to bring my laptop tmr! imagine me carrying the laptop all around from 8.30am to 6.30pm! =.=

got to sleep early! (TRY)

week three

2008-08-19T22:48:00.005+08:00

i went for WSC (welfare society club) interview today. there're alot of ppl, the queue is long and slow, luckily i went there earlier with sq. okay, both of us got the time to go for 2 interviews for 2 different sections. i went for the Public Relations and the Publications one.

haha, it feels good to have csl background, got more stuff to talk abt and it's kinda linked to wsc. csl=community service leaders. haha, big advantage. but hor, sadly, for the publications section, i want to get into designers or noticeboard design. they need me to show some of the work that ive done. i dont have them there, neither do i have something strong to showcase. so, they gave me a task-to design a bookmark using whatever software i've (apparently i only have Paint) and email it to them by 12am tomorrow. hahaha, i just reached home and im super super super tired, i guess i'll have to leave it for tomorrow.

loads of things to do tomorrow- Discover finance project, go to NIE bookshop to buy my IT textbook, collect my student ezlink card (YEYY!) from the student svc centre. when i reach home, have to continue to do the bookmark, and my FM tutorial!!!

no time to do any work on thurs -cause im going for Kallang Roar with sharon & the rest from OT!

so before that i have to pia finish my friday's tutorial..........

jiayouss!

sit, listen and rest.

2008-08-16T01:26:00.004+08:00

ive just finished youtubing! & reading others' blog. read quite a few blogs which talk abt their lovers. and so qiao, recently ive made quite a few 'Attached' friends too.

hmm... i totally pei fu my classmate, who manage to finish all his tutorials (with the correct answers), did the worksheets (i dont, the girls dont), working as a part-time, and still in a very firm and stable relationship (4 yrs!!! and my classmate is the guy!) i mean, it's hard.... i used to think it's chic feet. but... it feels so impossible to me now, esp when i dont even have the time/energy to reply messages, the time to talk on phone, the time to meet up with my friends for dinner, the energy to go out on weekends, the time to do extra reading/worksheets.

im envious and amazed at the same time. he told me it's abt time management, i agreed, but....... ive already stopped watching tv, chat on phone, go out after class..... why still no time???
aiyo, i think i really need to do something abt it. the problem lies with me... somewhere, something is wrong. hahahhahaha~

anywaysss, i still stillll stillllll managed to meet up for dinner with cheryl today! for one very simple reason, her hse is just outside ntu, and the jap restaurant is just at the stadium beside her hse! after that, we went home and we played with the webcam function, the msn phonecalls (i know i sua ku) at least, i get to enjoy this night w/o having to rush my tutorials.
feeeeeeelll soooooooo goooooooddddd, you knowwwwww...

random abit, i miss taiwan!

IF.... if i can, i would want to go there to stay & work for a period of time when ive graduated and when im older. that's probably when im really sick of everything here, and i think i'll probably just throw all things aside, and travel to taiwan alone! BUT, rest assured, im still love my country, and i'll definitely be back (:

put it this way....
taiwan, is a nice place to take a break, it's like a....... shi wai tao yuan to me (:

my Toshiba m300v

2008-08-14T19:45:00.002+08:00

this is the second week of school ive bought a laptop for myself, yes, my Personal laptop! gotten my Accounting I textbooks, got my red laptop pouch, my expensive financial calculator and im now left with the financial management textbk and my IT textbooks. hopefully im able to get everything at a cheap price by this week :D

anyway, it's only the very beginning of my uni life and im feeling tense already. i hardly have sufficient sleep, usually sleep at around 2 and wake up at around 0830. tiring. i guess and hope that studying in ntu can really make me slim down. ive to walk around the school from the south spine to the north spine, and then sometimes back to the south again. and, i seldom take breakfast nowadays cause i always dont have enough time to change and get ready for sch in the morning. lunch and dinner are now eaten tgt as a meal cause... i also dont know why.

i need time to do what i really want to do! i want to youtube, to change blogskin, to find a nice wallpaper, to watch my dvds, to go ikea, to rest, to shop and to meet up with ppl.

i've 3 different project grps now for each module. 1 big project going on, 2 weekly group assignments to do!

ahh.hh.hhhhh.hhh....

thankfully, ive made some new bridge friends and some nice classmates.

need a break, take a break.

2008-08-09T16:41:00.004+08:00

some recent photos, that ive Finally uploaded them (:

this is my fav photo for now! i think i look nicer than usual here. at least my eyes look bigger than their real size! haha!

was supp to have a 'bday celebration' for sis at swensens but seems like it's just my own wishful thinking. she went out and i guess she wont be home so early... hai... anyway, it's too late for me to plan any activities for myself since i woke up only at 1plus.

as requested by mum, i spent my afternoon cleaning the hse, vacuum-ed and mopped the floor. did some simple wiping here and there, arranged my room and here im, online! finally get to use sis's laptop! sooooooonnn, i'll get mine. by next week hopefully...

feel like i've wasted my day, i shldnt be at home, i dont like to watch ndp on the tv and with no other nice show to watch, im going to dead bored tonight. shld have find some companion to go imm, i need to go daiso to get some baskets, or go ikea to look at the study desks. i want to get one! and wierd cy, he said this issue of the ikea's catalogue is a disapointment. no leh, i like it leh! esp the new desks, sofa, boxes and kitchen designs. alright what...

im going to spend loads of $$$ next week, need to get a set of textbook & calculator ($100!!) and another 2 or 3 textbooks ($59 each!!) and not to forget my laptop ($1700 if i get the cheapest one!) ha, i think im going to spend 2k next week, bless me haha...

to think i still wish to get my Creative mp4 which costs around $129 and my swatch or fossil watch which costs between $99 to $129. i dont think ive any more $ to spare...

hah, so i think im not going to get sis any bday gift this yr since im already so broke and since she didnt get me one on my bday this yr :X maybe, i'll just co-broke with my mum and treat her a swensens dinner...

school starts.......

2008-08-06T00:11:00.002+08:00

okay, school has started. had my very first lecture today at 12.30pm and how suay can i get?
i could have reached on time, if not for the bus... bus 179 broke down just one stop (JUST ONE STOP) before it enters ntu. shit, at least if it manage to hang on till we get into ntu, we can still try to hop on the shuttle bus and get to LT1a. so, well... was a little bit late.

as for the lecture, it was a 4 hrs long. there're actually 2 lectures but both in the same lt, one after another. and im pretty satisfied with myself. i only dozed off awhile (: with the help of sweets of course.

im actually feeling quite stress now, even though sch has only started 2 days and lessons have just started today. there're alot of kiasu-s around and definitely alot of closet muggers. thank god, no one in my tutorial class are eyeing on tourism and hospitality. yah, continue... the ppl there knows alot of stuff - the au(s) thing, the electives, the textbooks, the shortcuts, etc way before sch starts. omg, ive a classmate who has already bought her calculator and textbook.
i just cant help feeling stress...

and, just after one lect, we're required to form grps of 4 and start on a project. i dont want to choose the wrong project partners, i want/need ppl whom i can work with. and the one who wanted to partner me is someone i dont really feel right with. worse, i havent get a laptop and many of my tut mates have not too. it fair is next week, plus an addition of roughly 2 weeks before collection, we can only get the laptop in around 3 wks later, when project is due on 24th. zzzzz.

continues... we're strongly encouraged to join cca to get points to bid for internship nxt yr and i think we also have to get electives which we really have to try to win the vacant slots and make sure that fit into our timetable. ive just took up one more tuition and hopefully everything's going to fit in nicely beautifully into my timetable. pray hard hard.

so... i've got 3 textbooks to buy, which cost around $59 each. and if my TI-83 is not approved, i would have to get a new calculator at $65. i shall see how after the first tutorial.

balancing off with some good and optimistic stuff.
- im no longer taking any allowance from my parents (it really feels good. maybe just for now, haha) and i hope i can continue this way.
- im really learning how to cope and manage my time. making full use of time now - sch, cca, tuition, projects.
- im not going to feel bored anymore, i guess.

haha, let me take a break to relax abit first and start planning my time............

im an undergrad!

2008-08-01T03:04:00.003+08:00

went for the ntu welcome ceremony today with my new friends and we were asked to put on this blue thing to welcome the professors. so, after the whole ceremony, the few of us decided t take a photoshoot before returning it... haha, as usual, shorties infront...

after that, we went jp to catch The mummy. a super boring show (my view) and i doze off quite a few times. after the movie, we took a full team photo again. it's very surprising to find out that the guys are very enthu in taking photos. 3 of the guys brought their camera and requested for this photoshoot, none of the girls brought their cameras :/

oh yah, i saw jason's jessica today and i 'xiang ren' with her! haha, surprisingly, she's not the quiet quiet shy shy type. quite friendly and chatty, and best, our timetable are quite similar. so hopefully, we can become friends one day......... and, i realised lisi is in nbs too, taking accountancy. shocksss. another familar face...

rewindddd......

2008-07-31T00:35:00.007+08:00

christina just sent me the photos in her camera today. so now, i've more photos to compile for 'my ot memories'.

so here's a photo with the 2 big bosses, the 2 managers, ah lei, christina and sharon. lovely...

the dinner at the jap restaurant...

me with the gifts (:

sharon, me and chris... taken in our admin room (:

this is me & chris, taken quite some time ago

actually i still have some more photos in my cam, but battery was flat and i was too laaazzyyy to charge it. i've my idol agent and another charming agent's photo inside! got to upload them soon!

im anticipating the meetup with sharon, turtle and whipwhip on friday. hopefully no last min changes... fingers crossed.

im beginning to ponder again...

are these colleagues going to be just passerby(s) who just come and go in my life....

how long can i keep these friends? will they be just another jiahui, another qx, another jason, another ting? they were once very close to me too, they were once the ppl i shared secrets with,

those who i really spend quality time with. it feels even worse to realise, im only left with reena out of all my jc friends. and, the friendship with qx actually soured and we really became strangers, this doesnt feel good at all.

i know, i also have friends who are still with me after all these years. and they're the ppl i met in secondary sch. ppl always say the friends who you made in sec sch are the ones who will be with you for long. hopefully, sharon is another cheryl, another carmen, another cy, another willy, another reena.

they said this is life.

it's hard to say goodbye.

2008-07-30T00:14:00.005+08:00

the good old days in orangetee..........................................

have come to an end. it's time to say goodbye :'(

today (29th) is my last day in orangetee. made cards for my beautiful colleagues and i really like those cards. haha... had a farewell dinner + bday celebration for laoda after work at Jap village.
was asked to give a farewell speech and we started gossiping abt the agents. it feels good to dine with the bigshots - the bosses, the managers. and it feels even better when you know they're organising this dinner for you. at the end of the day, i still received a card with all the messages from everyone of them and a gift. i must say, i really feel very touched and im beginning to miss everyone. all of them have been vvvv nice to me...

this is the envelope.....

this is the card.... " the more you like someone, the harder it is to say goodbye... "
awwwwwwwwwww~~ very true...

the gift.... it's a pair of earrings and a bracelet (:

many many thanks to them who have made the past 8 months and 3 days in ot so memorable.
orangetee is filled with love <3>

hahaha...

no time, no time.......

2008-07-26T16:42:00.001+08:00

i've got loads of photos with me. but ive no time to upload them.
i've got vcds/dvds to rush, but ive no time as well..................................

nbs self-orientated gathering

2008-07-19T01:29:00.004+08:00

wednesday's gathering with the nbs ppl was really fun. luckily there are some familar faces around. met shiqing and yvonne who were from carmen's class and wanling from cheryl's class. get to know them better and i realised sq and yvonne are nice companions. besides that, also managed to make more friends but most of them are from accountancy.
ah-ha, i also met a girl who looks like me. at first i thought im the only one who felt so, so i just kept quiet abt it. until a guy named weiyen mentioned that to me... haha, the girl has a nice name- vanessa.

ifinally took the luge ride and the skyrider in sentosa! my first time! shiok.
would want to take the luge again, was cheaper than i thought! just 6 bucks.

im more looking forward to sch, since ive more friends now! haha, too bad i cant join them for their 2nd outing. they're having night cycling- i cant take risk, my cycling skills cant make it. haha, later lang-ga again and half of my face gone (like the previous accident).

talking abt that makes me think of harvey in the dark knight movie. so scary...
thanks to ot, i got to watch the movie free with my colleagues (:

my first concert!

2008-07-14T23:53:00.003+08:00

it's the very first time i went for a concert and it was gary cao's! haha, i got the 2 free tickets from sis's friend and both of us went for it. (if only we've got 3 tickets, cause my mum was interested as well, shocking.) it was held in sg indoor stadium and the whole thing was great, though our seats were far from the stage. the songs are nice and so wasthe performance.

sad news, im not selected for the nbs freshman camp cause apparently only 30% of the applicants were selected by random (shld be). so some of the rejects came up with an outing specially for the rejects and it's going to be held on the coming wednesday at sentosa. and.. i'm going! (:
time to make new friends so that i wont have to roam around ntu alone. haha, after the sentosa thing, there's a dinner gathering at marche as well... so hopefully i can get to know some friendly peeps to accompany thru the next 3 yrs. i shall anticipate...

then for thursday, my company is having a happy hour session at vivo's golden v to catch the dark knight movie! i'm actually quite excited over it though it's just a movie and dinner session, haha... (more excited over this than the sentosa gathering, ops) maybe it's time to take some photos before i leave orangetee...

haha, last of all... my sis has created a v nice blogskin (finally! kidding...) i love the backgrd of her skin. simple and nice (: http://yelloweyebrows.blogspot.com
makes me feel like changing skin again... where did she get all those cute pictures from..........

far from demure.

2008-07-11T00:15:00.003+08:00

i've lost my 2 first-time(s) this week.

it's the first time i've scolded the F word (yes, the fully spelled out version) verbally and in a really fierce manner on someone. i was really angered and i cant bear it anymore. well, i used it on clarence (my colleague) cause whatever he has done was beyond what i can tolerate. so, there goes my demure image........ really cant be bothered abt that at that moment.

haha, but of course, i wouldnt let things turn nasty so after ive cooled down, i started talking to him again -.-

my second 'first time' was lost when i blow my temper on christina, seriously, the reason is the same - i cant stand her actions anymore. they really appear childish/senseless to me. how can she assume i'll be as late as she is just bcos when she's on the bus, im still at home? (when im staying at bb but she's at woodlands???! and office is much much muchhhh nearer to my hse by the way???)
the angry part is--- she went to sms the manger that i'll be late with her???? wth?

okay, as you can see... my temper isnt really great these days... ive no idea why.
but then, if you need explanation, i can tell you the entire story and im pretty sure you would have been as agitated (or even more)...

i really must rennnnnnnnn...................

happier note:

im going for stayover session at carmen's place tmr with cheryl!
something worth looking forward to (:

last of all... happy 19th birthday to juchi (:

a whole new experience.

2008-07-06T22:23:00.003+08:00

great day out (:

when i was looking thru our albums ;

2008-07-05T01:10:00.002+08:00

so many ppl in my gang, why am i the only one going to ntu........................................
why am i the only one interested in biz course..................................................

i'm the only one going ntu ):

it feels sad, for the past 6 years, ive been enjoying the company of cheryl and carmen.
we get to meet up durin breaks, make arrangement so that we get to sit tgt during lectures even though we're in diff classes, and wait for each other after lessons have ended.

but......... for the next 3 yrs, im going to be alone!
it's still easy for them to meet up since they (cheryl, carmen, ida) are all in ntu. and their schools are very near to each other!

it's time to really look for a new close friend in ntu. even my dearest jc friend isnt with me. seriously, i'm feeling quite lost. i know i shldnt be - at the age of 19! i ought to survive even without those familiar faces ):

i just hope im going to find friends whom im comfortable to talk to, to spend my breaks with, to subway/crap/bubbletea/etc with me, like the way carmor and the dumb pinru are able to.

i must admit, my 'ren yuan' has always been quite good. i met cheryl in my sec 1 and till now, ah beh in sec 2/3? till now, cy & tj from sec 3, jason from sec 4 (went missing), my dear reena in jc, and now in office, i've close colleagues like sharon who has become a friend to me, and im comfortable talking to her abt almost everything.

so.. hopefully, this luck continues to follow me ~

i miss the lame stuff we did tgt. but jason is disappearing!! someone (hint: carmen), pls get him back soon... where have my this 'high' friend been.... come back la, you can call me pig for all you want...

meet up soon pls? and hopefully the next stayover session will be successfully carried out.

superficial!!

2008-07-02T22:29:00.005+08:00

im taking leave from work tmr for my medical checkup at ntu. meanwhile, it's time to settle some misc stuff like updating my bank details, sorting out my notebooks and go and get the muji one soon (cant wait!).

today was an average day - gone thru both gd stuff and bad ones as well...
was lucky today cause the replacement receptionist was on mc today so i was able to resume my job which wasnt too tough. bad thing, i commited quite a few mistakes today and for some, im still puzzled why things went wrong. well, at least there's someone out there who believe that im being sabo, and have the trust in me when im not even sure if it was my fault. i felt really thankful and i must say, the person has been really good to me even though she was notorious for being harsh to other colleagues.

****

sometimes im so puzzled by the adults' relationship. why are men (i mean working male adults) so... blind?! i mean, from what ive seen and know, their character sucks and they're really superficial! yes, superficial is the word. FU QIAN! but still, i know there're exceptions... just that they're terribly rare......

pls, i hope all my male friends are not going to become like those men.

why am i so affected?! hell. superficial!

my 217th day in OT

2008-07-01T21:07:00.007+08:00

ytd was supposedly my last day in OT but luckily for me, there are another misc job for me so that i can stay here till end july, which is like untill i really totally cant work anymore. i know it's abt hiong to work like this (ive been working 4 days after my As and if i continue, that would be really untill a few days before sch start). it's amazing, im actually in this company for 7 months and 5 days. so seriously, i cant really bear to leave. to add on, im quite bu shuang that i actually didnt manage to save anything after the 2 holiday trips! so i die die also have to work if not im actually losing more moneyyy than what ive earned in the past 7 months cause i still have to buy a laptop! this time, i'm v sure i dont want my mum to subsidise part of the cost for me. in fact, if i can, i dont wish to take any allowance from her anymore. that's probably the most i can do.

sooo... as i thought ytd was my last day, i cleverly brought my camera there and took photos with my colleagues (many of them were not in office) plus, i went for dinner with sharon at citylink's shoduku (not too sure abt the spelling). the pasta there is really Superb! feel like going there again ):

dangdang! the photos!! haha, starting with my fav one! was showing and telling my mum ive nv took such a nice photo in my entire life. (she nodded!!!) she said at least my smile doesnt look fake. haha...

eh heh... the foooooood....

sharon, with her grilled chicken pasta (:

me, with my softshell crab tempura pasta!

us!!

took photos with my dearest manager in her office... we had loads of shots cause it's hard to get a perfect one. still, you can see im genuinely smiling wor...

here's me with clarence - the marcom guy, the one who always tell me lame jokes and always go social networking via friendster -.-

tomorrow's a new beginning for me, cause my jobscope has changed and become tougher.

it's like a test of my perseverance to wake up early at 7am, trying hard to catch my nap on the bus and ignoring how ugly i would appear... then handling with the papers/files/phonecalls till 6pm. im sacrifising my long hours of sleep, my tw dramas, my meetups with friend and etc for my laptop and the past 2 trips.

buttttttt.... it's worthwhile! persevere...... jiayou chenpeili! (copied from 'fated with love' drama, muhaha... )
you can tell i'm still crazy over that show...

taiwan photos are FINALLY up!

2008-06-28T21:15:00.018+08:00

after such a long delay, here are my taiwan photos!
(Beware: image-heavy)

set off from sg early morning and we're on the SQ flight! super excited, the SQ ones are definitely much comfortable than the budget airlines. good food, spacious seats, nice movies, comfortable cushions. aww~

landed on taiwan taoyuan airport at around 1 plus and met the tour guide there. soon later, the tour bus took us to our very first visit- Shangri-la Farmstay. the journey took hours and it's located on mountainous area. the air was good up there and with beautiful scenaries.

a pig (the first time i ever saw a pig, despite being addressed as one for thousand yrs :/

ahh.. the nice view from the top...

a photo of the Shangri-la when the sky has turned dark...

we went ahead with the night activities planned by the farm's management team.
'fang tian deng", making riceballs, and spinning tops. well, the wish that i wrote on the lantern has yet come true.

day 2, second place of visit - jiufen (one of my fav!)
it seems to be located on another moutain again, all i remember is the bus brought us up the steep roads, untill we almost somewhere near the top.

tried some interesting food over there.

ohhh! this auntie is super cute! looks like ruhua! she's actually selling sauages and balls that taste really nice! hip hip auntie eh... took me quite a bit of courage to request for a photoshoot.

heh, the caps we bought at jiufen which cost merely sg$7 each (;

the place we stayed over at for the 2nd night - Flying Cow Ranch.
it's a cow/goat farm with comfortable 5 stars standard rooms.

night activities - making our own butter from milk (cool..)

and playing some games as well...

cam-whored abit when we're back in the room with our new caps and our hk hoodies :D

day 3 - life science museum (my own translated version)

the buildings nearby...

journey continues.. and we came across this 'bing lang xi shi" along the way to our next stayover.

heard abt them on tv, finally get to see them. really very sexily attired wor...

andandand... more nature sight. some garden.... with loads of flowers (fei hua).

little asher, infront of the giantic robot made of millions of flowers.

raining when we're on the bus, heading to the third stayover location. a very beautiful place but the rain spoils the ambience and our mood.

this is taken when we're still on our way there, look at the fog... we're really heading somewhere really high. it's cold up there...

the place we had our dinner. a very nicely decorated place.

& Dangdang....!
this is the place we are going to sleep for that night! these small small flowerpot-look-alike huts.

see how small and queezy the room is... just nice to fit the 3 of us! (but in the end, the room belongs to just me and sis, not so queezy)

at the door of our hut. see, the door is only almost as tall as im.

haha, this is another beautiful hut that doesnt belong to us. just for decoration purpose, i guess.

my room number!

"qing jing rui shi hua yuan"

day 4- went to see peacocks (nothing much), trishaw-riding (FUN!)

Bought these 2 pairs of shades at merely $4.50 each! freaking cheap!

our rooooom for the 4th night... it's finally a hotel and not farm!
a five-star hotel! Plaza International Hotel, if i didnt remember wrongly, haha.
it's super spacious! a double bed for each of us! luxurious!

the view from our roooommm... finally buildings, and not flowers... hahaha.

went to Feng Jia night market at night, enjoyed, totally enjoyed esp the shopping, the very cheap manicure ($4.50 for colour plus prints, damn cheap!)

tried their oyster egg, something i thought was supposedly famous in tw... but it taste wierd, esp after pouring in the sweet and sour sauce. the one in sg taste 1000 times better!

mango ice... not bad... quite nice.

breakfast at the hotel... superb, loads of food... buffet style...

this is just one of the many sections...

the bread section....

interestin... tw lifts dont have the 4th, the 14th and the 13th floor. hahaha, inauspicious (how to spell?!)

day 5- Liu Fu Chun Theme Park, and... spa....

spa was at hong xi hotel - the place we slept over on our 5th night.

breakfast was good there too... loads of food in buffet style as well...

Day 6- Ye Liu for the natural rock sculptures, followed by lunch at a very unique restaurant and shilin night market :D

the queen's scuplture that was formed naturally due to corrosion, weathering, etc.

cam-whoring in our shades when we're on the bus...

.... the very unique restaurant. designed by a female architect (how to spell again?!)

there are more photos of the interior, but im too lazy to upload them.

the shilin night market! the store where they filmed the tw drama - zuan jiao yu dao ai.

the night was then spent at Comos hotel located in taipei. stayed there for the last 2 days.
it's located just beside the Taipei mrt station. They dont called it MRT actually, cant rem what is it called. :X

day 7: went to the big bookstore- Chen Pin Shu Ju, followed by Wu Fen Pu (FAVEOURITE!) then to Dan Shui.

somewhere near wufenpu....

didnt continue taking photos there cause we were busy shopping. haha, wufenpu is actually like the fashion wholesale centre there. shiok~

back to the hotel, took photo with asher when his mummy was bathing.
He loves taking photos and gets happy seeing himself in the camera after photo is taken.
looks so cute in the Big big shades.

Day 8- the last day, went back to wufenpu for more shopping after deciding to give Ximending a miss. rushed back to the hotel to get ready to go to the airport...

officially left taiwan at around 7.30pm and landed back on sg at around 10 plus.
took a last photo with jr (cousin) before we are seperated and headed home.

i'm missing taiwan... BADLY.

p/s: ignore any grammar, spelling mistakes. didnt check and lazy to edit (:

give me a new laptop.

2008-06-25T23:46:00.002+08:00

photos are all in sis's laptop. im using the old and slow hp pavillion.
i need a laptop super badly. which to get???

anyway, im going jobless soon. time to lookout for part-time jobs.

busy busy busy

2008-06-22T00:11:00.004+08:00

this trip to taiwan was really v fun, im missing tw so much now the trip was well-balanced cos' we went for scenaries/nature/farmstays as well as for shopping/spa/themeparks. really enjoyed it and it really feels good to be on holiday trip and my whole mind and soul are still in tw, just cant help but keep thinking of how much im enjoying a week ago. i miss the tv shows there, the night markets, the long bus journeys, the flight, and almost everything but just not the food. had almost the same dishes everyday.

was actually in sg since thursday, and have been quite busy since then. received letter from ntu to do the neccessary online application for matri. account, email address, moe tuition grant application and realised the dateline was today. spent quite some time trying to scan and crop my passport photo for submission and i just applied for singpass today. these are the impt things that ive to constantly be reminded of the datelines, got to settle them fast before i can do what i want - things like posting the photo ive taken at tw. hah, so far, ive only managed to upload them on facebook cause facebook has the most convenient uploading tool, 60 pics at one go, if only blogger allows that too. it'll definitely save alot of our time (;

other than the application stuff, i still have loads of things to do! have yet to totally finish unpack my luggage cause i cant find time to wash the new clothings (yes, i usually wash my new clothes myself) so i cant just put them in my closet yet. plus, im giving tuition tmr, and ive spent the past few hours reading up on my chem bonding, atoms and molecules and acids, bases and salts chapters for preparation. and for the following weeks, i guess reading up my sec sch notes will be my weekly routine. im not complaining, cause i need this extra money ($.$)

im also crazy over this taiwan drama "fated to love you"/"you're my destiny" and im chionging the eps now. that explains why i cant find time to do other stuff too, ops. haha.

'll be blogging the tw photos soon so i can get rid of them in the camera w/o feeling insecured that the photos will be lost.

busy... is better than bored.

holiday- Taiwan.

2008-06-09T22:42:00.002+08:00

Time check: 10.42pm, around 10 more hours before i leave this place for tw.

hasnt been blogging for quite long, very lazy. to add on, blogging can be quite an irritating task sometimes. it's not the procedure, but the unneccessary commotion that might occur.
haha, anyway... life has been pretty good so far, ive been enjoying it and i'm loving my job more each day (im serious), partly bcos im getting more and more comfortable with my colleagues, and almost everyday's filled with laughter. haha...

im starting to count down the number of days im left with in orangetee, really abit She Bu De to leave this nice place. im left with less than 2 months! still havent earn enough and havent had enough fun! talk abt picking up some skills/hobbies, i havent do a single thing! felt like i've wasted my 8 months of holiday - the longest holiday im going to get in my entire life.

on the brighter side, there's something to anticipate -
1. the 8 days tw trip,
2. going to buy a new personal laptop soon (YEY),
3. make new friends
4. new campus life

i guess that's all. life cant get any better than this, cos the next time i can enjoy and splurge so much would probably be 5 yrs later. im going back to be a student soon - income-less, and got to survive on meagre pocket money.

so just... let me continue enjoy my independent days, dont have to rely on adults for $$$, this feeling is... Great.

alright, will be back on 17th (:

finally raining

2008-05-27T16:41:00.002+08:00

finally raining.

the weather has been unbearably warm these days and it's hard to fall aslp w/o the aircon. thank god, rain has finally came, on this quiet, peaceful afternoon. felt specially blessed, cause i get to enjoy a brewed cup of green tea, comfortably sitting in an aircon room, listening to a series of slow english songs, and sitting by the window, looking at the small drizzle. haha, that wasnt too much a blessing, you may think. but when i tell you im typing this and enjoying all the above when im now at work, in the office, haha, it is really a blessing isnt it?

anyways, this week started off well and i suddenly found a 'ren shen mu biao', something to anticipate, something to work towards, great (:

let's hope everything gonna goes on smoothly, and im all ready to start my uni life - in ntu, i've made the decision.

2008-05-24T01:04:00.005+08:00

Raaaahhhhhhh.

a great friday which kinda of ended off badly.
work was nice and fine today though the office was left with just me and sharon after the lunch break. knocked off on time and headed to vivo to meet my this primary sch friend. heh, ive nv meet up with for the past 6 to 7 yrs. she's fazirah, i guess i'll just call her 'raaaahhh (i mean rah)' for convenience (:

quite alot of ppl was amazed/shocked when i told them im going to meet this friend of mine tonight (ppl like my mum, sis, colleagues). i thought it would be kinda awkward, but everything turns out really fine and we're like behaving like really close friends :D took loads of photos at the top area of vivo, in f21 changing room and etc. chatted, updated each other with our own stuff, joke around, camwhored,... everything just turned out Perfect. cheerios.

our granny imitation;

a bushy, beardy one;

a <3>

a glum look, i think i looked super glum, dont you feel like crying? HAH.

a norm look.

f21's dressing room

simple and sweet.

candid (:

aww, lovely.

our fav photo of the day. it's really sweet (:

the whole night was well-spent, untill the very last part- when im on my way home.
was too tired, overslept and missed my bus stop. ended up in a wulu wulu place, somewhere along upp bukit timah area, opp a dairy farm and a church. was dark, and just when i was abt to cross the road to take the bus back home, i saw the last bus rushing off. hell. tried flagging for cab, but not a single one choose to care (they're probably waiting for the midnight charges to start, tsk.) so no choice, i walked up a little, hoping to be able to flag a cab. who knows, the entire stretch was blocked by spiderwebs and though i cant see them, i can feel them and the itch, yucks. what's more, a saw a toad jumping across and i really started running.
thank god, i managed to get a cab which is willing to accept nets. thought the uncle was really nice at first, until... he purposely missed the crucial turn, and headed for a U-turn which was like miles away. chicken, im so pissed.

im just glad enough that im now safely back home, showered and blogging now
as well as chatting with voniie abt punk emo nicks. hmm, willy and liangchen also often uses these kind of nicks. hah, cooool.

anyway, got to wake up early tmr for cousin's wedding ceremony.
time to recharge my cam batt and go to bed.....

ken.

2008-05-23T00:01:00.003+08:00

i saw ken and his gf today, both dressed in orange tee ( i mean orange t-shirts, not my company, haha!). they were holding hands, smiling, chatting. a very sweet and loving scenario.

well... was surprised, but come to think of it, that isnt anything bad.
i'm happy for them, seriously....
(:

goodbye yvonne.

2008-05-18T01:37:00.003+08:00

goodbye yvonne.

been working in orangetee for nearly half a year and ive went thru quite alot changes happening in this company. there were some movement in labour btw our office and the main office. in late feb, ah lei left us and joined the main office, followed by christina in around april. yvonne was shifted here, and that's when i got to know this woman who is merely 1 yr older than me. hmm.. a very interesting person with a v loud character, bold behaviour, and definitely someone who went thru alot more than i do even though she's just 5 months older than me, to be exact. really enjoyed those lunch hours spent with her, but sadly, she left on the 15th of may, to go on with studies.

took photos on her last day.

miss yvonne.

sharon and yvonne.

me and yvonne. (bad haircut, my hair sucks, badly)

with sharon

and a glimpse of our admin room.

****

went to collect passport with sis today and the biometric passport is cool! hah, luckily we did our submission online, was able to book an appointment for collection. so, collection at ica only took merely 5 mins. haha, the place was flooded and was thinking what are the ppl waiting for, submission online or by post are so muchhhh more convenient and less time-consuming!

alright, so after the collection, we hopped on to a bus which brought us to bugis, had lunch, shopped a little and sis went off to meet her new friend. left alone, ive got nothing to do, took bus 61 home, the journey was long, it took me 1.5 hour to reach home. fell aslp on bed soon after and woke up 4 hours later. went down to bkt timah for dinner after that.

tomorrow should be a more entertaining day, meeting the gang for dinner at holland v for tj's bday. before that, probably going back to bugis with sis and mum to change for correct size for sis's newly-bought pair of pants.

quite a detailed entry.

anyway, ive been very attentive and concerned abt the earthquake in sichuan, and it got me pondering. so many innocent lives are killed in this natural disaster, but mas selamat is still at large. i seriously hope he has escaped to the earthquake zone and has perished.

chao keng.

2008-05-15T23:09:00.004+08:00

bad news, bad day.

went for the nus biz/acct interview today and i flunk-ed it. BADLY. was really a disaster, wouldnt wish to talk anymore abt it. sigh, what's worse, im still not sure whether it's an interview to decide if i can be enrolled into the sch, or an interview for scholarship/double deg.

saw the notice pasted on the staircase, the holding area and the interview room stating "interview for scholarship/double deg courses" but i wasnt informed that it was supp to be so.

anywayssss, if it's really for scholarship, i tell you... my heart is aching badly, cause there goes my FA, the $$$ that i need BADLY.

sigh, so after that, ive got no mood to work, kept brooding over it, thinking how i could have handle the qns in a better way. seriously find myself damn stupid, too foolishly honest.

okay, got to side-track...
was listening to 933 when im on the bus, heading home. heh, the djs were discussing abt petty ppl who are v particular abt every dollar and cent and requested for audience to call in to talk abt this issue, their expriences with these kind of ppl.

muhaha, i really "gan tong shen shou" with those audience, sometimes, you're just so fustrated and angry over it, yet you're feeling so helpless abt it, hinted, forgiven & forgotten, gave another chance already. same thing repeated again and again?! like what cheryl would say... "wth?!"

i guess my friend(s) felt the same too. after listening to the audience who called in, i realised many of them ended up abandoning their petty, "niao" friends/colleagues.

hah, what's worse, mine is an obvious chao keng case?
is it really time to say bye bye...
nah, you know i wouldnt bear to do it. so pls change, kick this really bad habit of yours.

subway all the way.

2008-05-13T00:48:00.003+08:00

Subway all the way.

saturday's photos. taken after the long chat we had at je mac. FINALLY fufilled cy's wish - go imm :/ and also to satisfy my craving for subway. muhaha, subway again.

im not eating candles, in case you're wondering. hah, it's my ice-cream cone!

my eyes looked damn pak jiao there, shit, im pretty aware that my eyesight is deteriorating. cham, i really dont want to wear specs, look super fat in specs cause my cheeks gona appear very fleshy. =/

anywayss... today has been quite nice, heh heh, cause someone complimented me! muhahaha...
that's really something vvv pleasant to hear, esp from an outsider (and he sounded really sincere!) totally made my day (:

other than that, the day was great cause i had subway for dinner again (told you im addicted) with cy who paid quite alot for the transport fee cause he used up his free concession rides.
so wei daaaaa of him, i know.

but chicken, subway ran out of white chip cookies again. v bad craving for it now.
subway anyone? cy's getting sick of it, so i really have to start finding another partner for sw dinner. volunteers?

last statement for tonight. "Cheryl's sweeeeeeeeeet"

money dropping down from the sky.

2008-05-10T00:28:00.004+08:00

Money dropping from the sky.

everyone's so busy this week and when im so free for dinners and meetups, nobody seems to be available or just too far away :/ well, ended up having dinner alone at kopitiam, and it is really my first time having dinner alone at kopitiam. im slowly beginning to get used to this solo life. heh, i dont even dare to go out or eat alone in the past. now, im able to shop alone/eat alone/go to the library alone/have a cup of coffee alone! the next thing that i can try is probably watching a movie alone. being alone feels good sometimes and when im alone, i love to go subway. currently a subway addict, thanks to jason and carmen for the recommendation.

haha, this week kind of rushed thru very fast. nothing much happened, but get to understand more of the 'adult' life after some chats with my colleagues. hah, interesting.
meanwhile, i've registered for a couple of tuition applications to be a part-time tutor, i just cant imagine how life's going to be like w/o cash in uni. hopefully some primary sch kids need math tuitions soooooon.

eh.. what else happened this week? oh yah, something pretty amazing happened. i was ABOUT to receive 800,000USD! received an email from 'Fedex' to provide details, etc in order to collect that bank draft. i've copied and pasted the contents...

very convincing hor? heng heng i went to look for fedex's website and emailed then to inform them abt it and at the same time to ask whether it's true... and here's their reply...

"Thank you for taking the time to highlight this incident to our attention.
Kindly ignore the e-mail that you received, please do not respond.
This matter has been highlighted to the appropriate management and the necessary corrective action has been taken.
Should you require any further assistance, please kindly contact our toll-freeCustomer Service hotline. Thank you. "

so scary right? till now i still dont know whether it's true or what, but i just followed the instructions, didnt respond.

hmm... how would $$$ just drop down from the sky or fly here from nigeria...
aiyo... trying to pian xiao mei mei like me...

the thin line

2008-05-06T00:25:00.004+08:00

The Thin Line.

i always love to have my earpiece plugged in my ears, while i nap on the bus. and tonight, when i was woke awake by a knock on someone's butt, so i happened to pause for a moment and listen clearly to the song that is currenly playing on 933. it's a very nice song, a song by gary cao, called dan shu, in his new album Super Sunshine.

it's such a spoiler to realise blogger doesnt allows me to paste the link here.

anyway, i didnt have a blue monday today, instead, it was quite a pleasant one. at least, time flies at work today, luckily. went to marina for subway and window-shopped.

back home now, showered & came online, haha, so routine. read some blogs and start to ponder quite abit abt friendship. i think i've a weak concept of what friends really mean, and i believe ive taken friendship too lightly. it's amazing, when you find yourself having difficulties differentiating between acquintance & friends, between friends & soulmates, when you're surrounded by many ppl whom you have always been acknowledging them as friends.

it's sad that despite the 6,7 years of intimacy. the ups and downs that we've gone thru tgt, we're still facing the same old problem in communication, and when we cant even be sure if we truly understand each other. in fact, i've nv think so that i really understand cheryl, carmen or willy.
somehow, i dont have the intention to do so either. it's scary to be fully understood, esp when we have contradicting characteristics.

but on the brighter note, the 6, 7 years of friendship gave us a higher lvl of tolerance for each other, the initiative to explain (rather than just walk off, implying that's the end of our friendship), and to realise that it's childish to say... "that's the end of our friendship, cause you dont understand me". haha, at least we still try to improve the situation, we apologise when necessary and admit the fact that we really have quie alot to work on our communication problems.

strangers/friends/soulmates, are just seperated by a thin line (heh, just like the slash eh).
i mean, that's how i see it lah. i can say... i havent found any soulmates yet.
let's wait till we're ready (:

my birthday.

2008-05-04T19:02:00.016+08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

had very different bday celebrations this year. celebrated with different groups of ppl which has made my 19th bday really memorable. Thanks everyone! (:

1st may
on 1st may (labour day), tgt with gang (full attendance!) and sis, we went to jerry's bbq and grill to have our very filing meal of grilled beef, chicken & pork, plus the free flow of salad. the food was good but maybe just a little bit too ex? haha, wei qu them, since they're the ones paying for my share. THANKS everybody! following that, we went for Forbidden kingdom. i find it quite a lame show. not very funny cause it was a little bit too draggy. many ppl were actually laughing at their english. haha, but me and cy like the white hair part most. ultimate lame.
anyway, was glad that the full gang was able to make it, including the 2 botak army boys. haha, seriously.. it has been v long since the 7 of us meet up tgt. ah, nice reunion. hopefully able to meet up again on tj's bday.

2nd May
1st may was a public holiday, but not 2nd may (friday). got to go back to work, what's more, got to OT to rush out the report. haha... colleagues made my day when they surprised me with a very sweet bday cake accompanied by a bday song. *touched* (Really...)
was actually out of the admin room to do some photocopy job and when i returned, almost everyone's around my desk with the lovely cake followed by the bday song... aww.

continued with work till it reaches around 9pm, when there's only me and manager in the office.
very hungry by then, the 2 of us went for dinner tgt (: aiyo, talking abt it again, im really feeling so grateful to know this group of very friendly colleagues who have been really nice to me (mostly, haha). anyway, back to the point, i enjoyed the dinner and the food was delicious. heartfelt thanks to manager for the meal.

3rd may
went out with willy, watched harold and kumar- a super m18 show, discrimination, sexual content, vulgarities.... haha... but still, it was very funny. much much funnier that Forbidden. esp the "hello kitty" and "cyclops' ass" part.
besides the movie, we went to take some photos and i was quite a spoiler at it.
my personal fav was the time we spent at coffee bean for some chat till 2 plus. nice ambience with my fav blended mocha. it feels good to be able to catch up with your friends in such places at 1, 2am. had a great chat with willy, updated each other with our recent stuff. hopped onto NR8 and reached home at around 3. a very well-spent 19th birthday on the 3rd of may (:
many thanks to willy

i love willy's gift alot! and not to forget the gift from my colleagues as well.

A big thank you to everyone who has made my bday so wonderful & to those who text-ed me all the blessings! THANK YOU!

happy happy day!

2008-05-01T02:43:00.010+08:00

photos of the album making session....

nice and happy day today, though it didnt start off well. morning was tiring, trying to dig out some old doccuments in the dusty and dark storeroom. faced some problems with it and didnt manage to find it in the end. the worse thing was... manager managed to find it in the end. =/

the day goes on with loads of work to do. since it was the last day of the month, reports are due. adding on, namecards have already been received, got to do some checking. stamping was as usual, a routine job. logo claims to be completed so that some of the claims can make it before the 3 months limit. was seriously unable to cope, no idea how to handle it other than to complete some work by ot-ing. totally freak out in the morning, was stressing over it, mood was bad, been rather quiet the whole morning. thank god, things went fine after taking a break at lunch.

colleagues offered their help, and managed to complete some tasks faster. yet by 6 (knock-off time), i havent even touch my report. i knew ot couldnt solve my problem, i definitely cant finish within an hour or two. was freaking out again, and at this moment, the phone rang and it was sharon (my colleague). heh, she asked me to her room... and comes the surprise gift!

really really didnt expect a gift (cause im only a temp staff)! and i must say... the gift really comes at the right time.

it was v nice of them to give such an ex gift to a temp staff like me, it was a Agnes b bag accompanied with a v sweet card.

the surprise really made my day despite all the draining work for the entire day.

was touched. to add on, boss came over to offer me food before he leaves the office to at least make sure that i wasnt too hungry to carry on my work. considering the fact that i seldom talk or even greet him, it was really really really very thoughtful of him. im just feeling scared to talk to the heads, i will stutter, look anywhere else but their eyes, and give single-word replies. ive no idea why. =/

anyway, im REALLY REALLY HAPPY. from the bottom of my heart, i must say im really thankful for their concerns, love (aww... mushy i know) & everything else. feel kinda bad now, thinking that ive actually been planning to quit due to the heavy workload/low pay/problems with teamwork-ing. shall work harder to make the situation turns out better.

still, for the third time, i really thank them (jasey, kate, ah lei, sharon, yvonne, timpa, madeline, clarence, christina, kim...) sincerely.

album making session

2008-04-27T02:08:00.003+08:00

album making session #1

met up with carmen and cheryl in the noon to do our hk photo album. managed to get the photos as well as some art materials ready by today. was supposed to start work at KAP but was too lazy to travel and to spend the extra $$ on transportation, ha, everyone's getting thrifty eh. haha... settled down at bbss's mac in the end, the place filled of memories. was there from 2pm to 9pm (wow). haha, sadly, i only managed to cover 4 pages. including the cover page. carmen covered quite alot. each of us (just me and carmen) has our own sets of photos, and we came up with very different albums. hers was a very environmentally-friendly album, done using mostly recycled materials. mine was done using the very big pink album i've got for my 16th bday.
photos will be uploaded soon, when im not so lazy. haha.

have to go to ntu alone tmr, to figure out more abt the course and give it a second thought.
we shall see how after tmr and after i receive nus's letter.

congrats!!

2008-04-23T00:17:00.004+08:00

YEYY!! i've been accepted by Nanyang Business School!!! my top choice!
i was EXCITED, very very very EXCITEDDD when i was tearing open the envelope (with ntu's logo) ! haha, now... im happy but heh, confused again.

eh.. business majoring in Banking & Finance? or Tourism & Hospitality???
i wish to go for tourism, but im neither qualified for financial aid nor the scholarships. aiyo, if im going for tourism, im think i'll need to travel overseas quite a few times for attachment, exchange problems and stuff like this... where to get the $$$?? headache.

shall attend the briefing session on this sunday and see how...
still feeling happy though... at least, im guranteed a place in uni. haha, i know this is bad.
but i really cant help feeling SHIOK (no other word can describe this feeling any better) when i thought of how one of my arrogant cousin was trying to mock at me, saying stuff like "huh, NBS very hard to go in one leh. aiya... why not you go for overseas universities." was qi si at that moment but kept silent cause i havent receive my As and i've no confidence in my results.

heng, there're very supportive friends around who geniunely feel happy for me. really touched when i received those messages and calls. i can really feel that they're truly happy for me esp when the 2 of them actually called me almost immediately after i sent out the message. ahh... felt so loved by these 2 girls (:
and like what cy said... it's really a nice early bday present for me (:
adding on, it feels great to see the family feeling happy for you. aiyo, today is such a lovely day.

but...
can i be a little bit more greedy?
pls accept my SIA/STB scholarship application, so that i can go for toursim without $$$ worries.
hahahaha... okay, i know it's abit overboard.

so for now... i shall zou yi bu can yi bu... till i find a way to get the $$$...

life

2008-04-20T00:04:00.003+08:00

im missing my nails now. aiyo, where to get nails decorated so nicely at below sg$20?
due to all the filing, and bla bla at work, paint has torn out and the stickers have peeled off already. time to get them polish again. hah, nail-polishing can be an addiction (:

after reading angela's blog, i totally agree with her that there are people are there who are richer, with more freedom but not necessary happier. it's just how we live our lives to the fullest and be happy abt it!

easy to say ah.... but not so easy one leh. nvm, shall try. shall start calling up people and date them out to do some activities.

maybe... reena for kim gary? carmen for baking? cy and cheryl for dinner? carmen for album-making ($$$$)? eh... d.i.y dinner?? hah, shall plan abt it later.

aiyo, suddenly i feel that ive wasted the first 3/4 of my holiday. shit.

bad day.

2008-04-17T23:01:00.002+08:00

today wasnt a very nice day. things started off bad early in the morning.
firstly, forgot to bring my mobile phone out. then, missed a bus, didnt run to the next bus stop to chase after it cause the next bus usually comes within 5 mins. sadly, i waited for 15 mins for it.

hai... the day just didnt go smoothly.
bad day, bad day.

tomorrow will be a better day.

continued.

2008-04-13T18:37:00.014+08:00

ah, finally back to the blogging mood today. mood has been pretty good for this week, been having dinner at home and spending quite alot of time at home. the entire weekend was spent at home, playing online games (quite unusal for me), tidying up my stuff, sleeping till 1, 2pm, watching drama serials one after another. haha, this is totally referred as Slacking. so, i had a great time slacking.

ive actually been trying to blog the photos but blogger always make me feel very discouraged to do so. time and again, i face uploading problems, connection problems(maybe that's my internet problem) and the loading speed is way too slow. haha, but still... i did it today! while listening to class 95, msn-ing, and friendstering at the same time. if i were to just upload the photos and not do anything else at the same time, i would have probably fallen asleep. haha.

well.. im thinking whether i should get the hardcopies of the hk photos and get them nicely compiled in a beautiful album. that would have to make me spend and splurge again on the decorating materials. the photos, etc. and again, im abit lazy to start. shall think again...
if the 3 of them are doing it, i'll definitely be doing so (;

Day 2

day 2 started off well with a nice breakfast at marco's! looks and sounds like marche! hahaha

went for a little bit of shopping at jordan before we set off to mongkok?
(hah, i cant remember :X)

and for dinner, we had a very great feast. good and ex food from a shanghai restaurant?
the food was really different, was china-ish rather than hk-ish.
loads of thanks to carmen's relatives, was their treat
the food was really good, one of our best meals :D

didnt really take alot of photos on that day, and last photo of the day was the beautiful street of hk. a very nice photo, though it was kinda blurred (:

Day 3

woke up earlier that day and set off to "shan ding"!
took a quick shot at the mrt station, im still yawning.

so here's a photo we took at the entrance area. we're going for the tram, which was practically moving 45 degrees upwards. the steepest ride ever.

while queueing for the tickets...

& while we're waiting for the tram to arrive (:

PEAK TRAMWAYS !

finally on shan ding, hill top! was a pity that the weather was too foggy and we cant see all the scenaries. was supposed to be quite a beautiful view from the top :/

just look at the fog around us... i think we really look like fairies, visiting the mortal world. hah...

lunch for the day was... Macdonalds!
dont think im mad, cause it's not the same as the one in sg!!
we dont have this burger here... it tastes nice! & big enough to satisfy my hunger.
how sad...

on our way down from the hilltop, i saw this very amusing Drain? haha, it's labelled with my initials! and cheryl called it my tombstone :X
haha, im so small-sized???

(side-track, i just realised PL not only stands for PeiLi, but also Peter Lian & Paul Lian, haha)

after lunch, we went to causeway bay to meet carmen's cousin & to do more shopping.
didnt manage to get much stuff there, they're too expensive. haha, decided to stop shopping for the day and went for a movie!

apparently, there wasnt alot for us to choose from, we dont have time to wait, so watched Fool's Gold. interesting movie, but i fell asleep for a while. was just too tired (:

didnt have appetite for dinner after eating so much in the noon. besides lunch, we had french toast set for teabreak..... here's the set for one person. omg, told you the serving in hk was huge.

to add on, we continue to eat sushi during movie... had so much that i felt too full and wanted to vomit.

requested to end the day early cause i really cant take it anymore, wanted to vomit every now and then.

here's a photo of me when we're back in the room, when im still looking fine, still able to smile.

haha, the next moment, i was dying.

eventually, i really went to vomit! haha, but not into the plastic bag. this was just a pose for cy.
the camera just keep snapping at me when im feeling unwell. so i think it would be nicer of me to just pose for them. haha...

alright, im too tired to continue. still got to work tomorrow.
time for bed! im missing life in hk again!! esp those nights when we played bridge till 2, 3am.
aiyo... time to meet up for more of such sessions, online bridging just isnt as fun.

thoughts

2008-04-09T23:16:00.004+08:00

back to office this morning, brought all the small gifts for colleagues & met reena for dinner (at kim gary again, hk food AGAIN, simply missing hk too much). v sweet of her, bought a very nice bangle from bangkok and i just hope she wouldnt mind the very traditional-looking pouch and the customized keychain. things went well & smooth but just again, too routine. totally missing the very lively and happening atmosphere in hk. everyone are boldly dressed, showing off their unique style to the max. streets were nv quiet/dull, everywhere seem to be crowded, very much unlike sg (only town area are lively). hah, but then, i guess life's much complicated there compared to here in sg where everyone seems to have a peaceful, simple life which can be boring sometimes. okay, enough of the comparing, im sad to say im not in the mood to blog abt the trip today ( since none of my friends are, everyone's lazy) let's hope these memories still stay in my brain till the day i blog it all out. haha.

side tracking... im now very enthusiastic abt university, very much wish to get back to books & school life. i know you're going to find me sick, but seriously, this holiday is getting far too long and ive got nothing much to do/lazy to try to do anything new. talk about doing albums for the hk trip, i seriously doubt my ability, considering that im even lazy to blog & post the photos. and what.. baking?! i missed one session at carmen's place, and the other time, i only managed to go and taste their results. what else... reading a book? i didnt even managed to finish more than 20 pages and it's already due. hah, i sound so useless, i know. im going to start on something new (im saying this AGAIN) and meanwhile, let's just pray hard hard that ntu/nus is going to accept me (for the desired course, of course) and also... pray hard hard that that chao ah pek in the office gonna stop appearing cause he's freaking irritating & yet i cant vent it out on him! get it straight, you irritating/noisy/disgusting/smelly/short/black ah pek, you're trying far too hard to get attention, why dont you just spend ur time on getting more deals rather than roaming around in the office?!

okay, feeling much better after all the rantings. im getting really vulgar these days & i know it's bad, very bad. restricted myself to type out all the vulgarities and im trying real hard. there's just this uncontrollable anger in me and ive no idea where to release! shit, and for all the another issue, ive yet managed to get over it, still very bothered by it & still dont understand why ppl want to do stuff like that. $$$$$$.

after friendster-ing for a couple of mins, i really start to feel fat. feeling lost? because friendster-ing suddenly made me feel that slim ppl looks very much nicer. (haha, i just feel a little bit too ba-ba, just abit slimmer will do pls) got to exercise, but how? when i can only get back home earliest by 7pm & sis isnt around at this hour? not that it's not possible... but it's hard. "It's so hard... - by maritas" (inside joke). anyway, too much friendstering is bad cause it makes you compare yourself with others, and just ended up feeling bad abt yourself, got your self-esteem lowered, and worse stuff. got to feel good of yourself, no point comparing, etc (i know you would say...), but again... IT'S SO HARDDDD... (with marita's accent) hahaha.

things that made my day are... cy's nick with the "xixi bao bao, perking and other funny cantonese we've learnt in hk). it's wednesday today, 2 more days to weekends. this is how dreadful im feeling :X

okay, this is a really long entry and im ending with a super boring sentence...
it's time for me to go to bed AGAIN, goodnight.

Day 1 at hongkong

2008-04-08T17:57:00.011+08:00

HONGKONG TRIP

im back from hk, arrived sg at around 3pm last night and reached home at around 4.30pm. the trip was great, no, was extremely great and enjoyable. shopping and eating everyday, spending money like nobody's biz. and what's best is... money nv seems to be able to be finished. things are cheap there! very much cheaper than in sg! really love our spending power there...
besides all the eating and shopping, we've also taken loads of photos, but we could have taken more! kinda regretted not taking enough photos. anyway, photos are still alot such that i cant possibly upload everything in a day. so... i've decided to blog about the entire hk trip on a daily basis. heh... so here i am, starting from DAY 1 (:

HK DAY 1

okay, day 1. we arrived the airport at 12.30 (but cy was late, arrived at 1pm) and went around to look for the correct gate and do the necessary check-in.

me, cheryl and cy (:

checked in all our luggage and entered the restricted area. did some cam-whoring there to pass time. haha.

presenting the very lame photos taken by cy and cheryl.

they looked really funny!

cy just had his spinach! strong enough to carry a plane! omg. -.-

we're finally on the plane!! :D

and again, to kill time... we camwhored, took funny faces.

so here's cy and my first attempt - eyes enlargement! 0.0

2nd shot - our trademark 'fan bai yan', something which cheryl and carmen simply cant make it. haha, yes, we're quite proud abt it ;)

beautiful view from cheryl's seat, taken at around 4 plus.

we managed to capture the sunset view! very beautiful indeed (:

okay, at around 7 plus, we finally landed on hongkong! feeling very excited at that moment, and now.. im missing hk very badly ):

carmen and her cousin were there to fetch us. headed to buy the bus card, which was called the Octupus card there, and took a bus to our motel (:

well, our motel is located at Jorden and here's the street near our motel

totally like what we usually see on tv!

our motel... nan fang bin guan (:

then, we went down to a cha can ting to have our dinner we dropped stuff in the motel room.

dinner was great, had stuff that we have nv had before in sg. big portions, and best of all... cheap (:

went back to our room after that and that's roughly how our first day was like. short, but we're getting really excited back then. the room was very clean (unlike what we expected- dusty, cockroaches, dirty toliet) but it was shockingly small. hah, totally insufficient space to move around. but still, considering its low price, we are really VERY satisfied already (:

alright, shall leave the day 2 stuff for the next entry. guess it's better this way, at least im able to give a more detailed description. ahh.... im really missing hk, esp the weather. im sure the rest of them are missing it too.

off to hk!

2008-04-01T00:31:00.008+08:00

it's the last night with my dearest bed before i return home 7 days later. the very much anticipated and long-planned holiday trip to hk has finally arrived. it's a trip which we have planned even before our As, booked the tickets in early december and then started saving up for it since then! our very first overseas trip and it stretches 7 days long! hehheh.

hmm.. have been taking my own sweet time to pack my stuff and just finished packing my luggage not long ago. hoho, it's actually quite empty! haha, at least we're able to store more stuff back. just wish that we're bringing enough money for the trip and praaayyy that everything turns out fun and smooth! (enough $$, nice motel, no tummyaches, no diahorrea, nice and cheap stuff available)

.... after 2 consecutive stayover sessions ( we stayover-ed at cheryl's place last night), im feeling really tired now. it's time for bed and get mentally ready for the trip...

we'll be back a week later (:

bon voyage to us and miss me (;
on a side note, Thank you (sharon) so much for the korean gifts! :D

irritating people

2008-03-30T15:19:00.003+08:00

yea, 2 more days to go. sadly, the level of excitement seems to be dropping. 3 of us arent as excited over the trip now compared to a week ago. faced quite a bit of trouble dealing with the money issue(s), the luggage and other minor stuff. was kinda pissed when i realised alot of my relatives get to know abt my hk trip. the key thing is, they thought im going overseas with my bf (im really having the urge to scold vulgarities). since when did i have a bf in the first place?! and what, 3 girls and a guy? going with my bf? makes any sense?! damn, really detests the person who started this nonsensical rumour. this is really a big disadvantage of having a blog, something supposingly meant to be a sharing and updating session with my Friends and others who are relatively quite close to me (definitely not a big-mouth who doesnt think before talking).

it's totally annoying to be unknowningly under the control of these irritating relatives. have to care abt how they think of me not only in academic wise but as well as the group of ppl i hang around with, my circle of friends, and even my relationship (if im in one now). so please, let me broadcast and declare that I'M SINGLE, UNATTACHED, WILL NOT BE GETTING ATTACHED SO SOON, NOT AN AH LIAN AND STILL DOING FINE IN MY STUDIES.

and for those/the one who started all these rumours or who spread this to almost the entire family, stop before i do anything nasty. basically, my hk trip has nothing to do with you or any aunties and uncles. there's no need to announce to everyone, and this is a trip solely financed by my own savings. it's just a simple holiday trip with my group of FRIENDS (people who i have known for 6 years) after the mugging for A levels, and before we get back to the books few months later in university.

i should really cool down and not let anything spoils the trip any further. 2 more days to go, im sure the 3 of us will get more enthusiastic after tomorrow night.

Fun at the playground

2008-03-27T00:27:00.005+08:00

cy finally uploaded all the photos we have taken at the playground. a VERY memorable night, had loads of fun, chatted alot, recalled abt our sec sch days, getting excited over the trip, laughing like nobody's biz & so much more. it just feels so good to have a group of friends you're so comfortable with. zero awkwardness, genuine laughter (:

haha, if you think these are all the photos we've taken at the playground... muhaha, you're wrong. i only picked those that i dont look ugly in. there are more on cheryl's blog and ive no idea why she always chose those that are looked so wierd/ugly in. :/

and the full set of photos are up on cy's space - dunstan's space. nice name arh. haha

okay, today is wednesday! which means... 6 more days to go! the three of us are so excited and we are going to have a stayover session this friday to get things even more exciting.

so... meanwhile, we shall just let carmen misses us at hk.

dont spend all ur cash carmen, WAIT FOR US! (:

i forgot to mention! i LOVE this blogskin! so simple yet nice! ahh... lovesssssss.

dread.

2008-03-23T16:39:00.006+08:00

it's coming to the end of the week and im dreading to go to work tomorrow. hai, next week is going to be very hiong, reports to rush, 50 recruitment files to complete tmr. this time, i really dont feel like staying back in office alone to complete my stuff especially when there's this sicko agent who is absolutely irritating and born with a digusting outlook. i know this is very evil, but i really cant stand all his nonsense anymore. chao ah pek.

after nearly 4 months at ot, im now having the urge to leave and shift to somewhere new. the pay here is way too low and everyone finds it so. got a nice job offer that pays more, but sadly, im not able to start work immediately due the hk trip. to be truthful, there's nothing much holding me back in ot. yes, there are nice ppl around, but i guess im someone who needs to continously be exposed to changes, just cant stand doing the same thing for too long. 4 months, in fact, is quite amazing for peili. haha, give me the best luck and pray that that job offer is still available when im back from hk. at the same time, really hope that ot wouldnt be as short of ppl by then - so that i leave guilt-free, haha.

okay, intended to spend this beautiful sunday noon at home, with a cup of hot tea, my notebook and start joting down my plans for my studies, my saving plan, and probably to figure out what i really want to achieve yrs from now. apparently, im not doing anything useful and it's another futile attempt to use the weekend meaningfully. my mind is currently obsessed in the hk trip as i really cant wait to leave sg for a break from everything (yes, really almost everything, be it my job/university application/the scary ppl/bla bla etc) and hopefully i can return with a refreshed mind and feel more motivated (:

im gonna strive thru next week cause it's the last week to go before we fly off to hk!
same to cheryl and cy!
(nana, carmen is able to leave a week earlier)

adult affairs

2008-03-22T01:42:00.004+08:00

those are the formal photos of me. haha, i still think i look like a kid, still look young and nowhere near 19? been mixing around with adults for the past 3 months and ive to admit, i really did wished that im older, or maybe look older. used to feel stucked at this age of 18, coming 19. the many-wants-but-not-enough-money-to-buy stage. the 'materialistic' stage. i know it's dumb to feel so when 19 is actually the age to enjoy teen life and do what you want without worries!

so, im now undergoing some self-brainwashing to get out of the adults' affairs (:

time to be back to myself and spend more time with ppl of my age before i change any further.

as for the adults' way of life, i shall leave it till years later, my turn will come......

it's tiring doing mind-reading, tiring to be confused by the different faces of ppl and to try to blend in nicely. it may be fun and exciting at first though. it just feels like... an infatuation, there's a need to wake up!!

***

okay, im going to think and plan more abt my life this weekend!

a mindmap, a flow chart, and come up with decisions from the many many choices to handle now!

let's anticipate a change (:

2008-03-19T00:02:00.005+08:00

im most likely getting my current phone's keypad and its siao camera for servicing tmr. so i went to pull out my old phone (the one that has accompanied me thru the almost exact 2 yrs of jc life) and im charging it now so that i can use it tmr!
browse thru that antique and found loads of memorable photos/songs which really made me think quite alot abt the past.
realised im missing out alot the fun that i used to enjoy and i found out that i might be seriously missing someone. it's not as the love love kind of miss but just... yah. (-.-)

........

i can't sleep, i just can't breathe when your shadow is all over me baby

don't wanna be, a fool in your eyes

'cause what we had was built on lies

and when our love seems to fade away

listen to me hear what i say

i don't wanna feel the way that i do

i just wanna be right here with you

i don't wanna see see us apart

i just wanna say it straight from my heart i miss you...

what would it take,

for you to see

to make you understand that i'll always believe

you and i, can make it through and i still know,

i can't get over you

'cause when our love seems to fade away

listen to me hear what i say

i don't wanna feel the way that i do

i just wanna be right here with you

i don't wanna see see us apart

i just wanna say it straight from my heart

oh baby i miss you, i do...

'cause when our love always fades away

listen to me hear what i say

i don't wanna feel the way that i do

i just wanna be right here with you

i don't wanna see see us apart

i just wanna say it straight from my heart

i miss you, i miss you i do...

i don't wanna feel the way that i do

i just wanna be right here with you

i don't wanna see see us apart

i just wanna say it straight from my heart

oh baby i miss you, i do...

and it's always this familar line in the lyrics that keeps playing in my mind....
"i dont wanna see, see us apart. i just wanna say it straight from my heart... i miss you."
-Miss you by Westlife.

saturdays

2008-03-16T22:03:00.004+08:00

haha, finally able to blog up the photos taken during last saturday and yesterday. im busy, but dont know over what. went out with cheryl and cy ytd to get the vaccination, the nus openhouse and to bugis for a stroll. and... i have submitted my NTU application! still able to modify my choices though. haha... ive placed Visual Communications as my 3rd choice and since it's a arts and design course, i have to come up with a portfolio, a video clip and a essay by 1st april. how on earth am i going to find the time to do so, especially for the portfolio? i realised visual comm is the course that leads me to my dream occupation - editorial/publication design.

okay, enough of the boring stuff, lets take a look at the photos for the saturday(s)! hahaha, very much filtered :X

okay, time to go and apply for NUS!

uni

2008-03-12T18:10:00.003+08:00

it has been a tiring day. been working non-stop today, looking at the computer for hours, cant help complaining that my eyes are really really exhausted. terrible. well, im still in the office now, waiting for the rain to get smaller before i leave this place and return to my cosy home. it's really time for me to get sufficient rest, havent been sleeping well for the past few nights and this is really bad. just got over all the frightening As and now im troubling over which course to take and how and which F.A method should i apply for. at this moment, i really feel that Money solves all problems. hah, look at it in a more pleasant way, it's more Challenging to strive all the way into uni with a poor or maybe just 'poorer than the rich' family background. the sense of satisfaction maybe greater if im able to successfully graduated with hons using my own efforts to loan/steal/rob for my tuition fees.

now, what am i going to choose? Tourism, Banking (both under business course) or advertising (under mass comm)?

then... what kind of loan should i apply for? DBS/OCBC/Citibank or CPF?
it's a headache looking thru their interest rates.
it would be best if there are companies willing to sign bonds with me. pay for me tuition fees and i promise im going to study and graduate decently. haha, come on, HC, RJ, AC people are definitely more attractive than me, so... dream on.

like what the agents told me, life's all about making decisions. just like 2 yrs ago, im back at the crossroad, choosing between a desire and a shortcut to quick money. i gave up tourism and chose to enter a JC cause im afraid im not good enough to enter uni after my diploma. and now, im having second thoughts for tourim cause im afraid i cant get a high pay in my future job. the thing is, should i follow what i did 2 yrs back and choose the "brighter" (as deemed by many) route, which is Banking&finance or go for something that i THINK i have passion in? i used to regret choosing jc esp in my first yr, but after receiving my results, i really feel glad that ive successfully taken the shortcut to enter uni.

what if my passion isnt going to last long?
what if i really cant stand doing banking cause it really turns out too routine?

haha, give me more time to think thru please...

yeyyness.

2008-03-10T01:24:00.000+08:00

was trying to upload the photos taken at haji lane, but it was the third time im facing problems doing so. only managed to post some and i guess i'll have to leave the rest for my next entry (if blogger isnt going to give me any more problems). by the way, these photos are taken last sunday, with cheryl (:

much disappointment, haji lane wasnt as fun as we thought. it's just... a quiet and narrow lane, with shophouses that are different from the big shopping malls. there're nice clothings and accessories which you probably cant get it elsewhere, but they're rather expensive and not worth it for the kind of material. but still... i would love to shop there if im... rich. hahaha...

other than these outdated photos, ive taken loads of new ones on friday, saturday and sunday. totally enjoying my weekends. had loads of good food (:

friday was the release of the As results and enjoyed a great dinner at fish&co with cy, carmen and cheryl. baked salmon with rice is absolutely delicious! craving for it now. haha!

saturday was well-spent with the openhouse at ntu and the secondary sch gathering at xy's place. great catching up sessions with friends whom we havent been meeting up for a very long time. thousands thanksss to xy! gonna post the photos soooooon when i managed to gather all the photos from jc and cy.

today (sunday) was just so great. haha, went to IT fair (soooo crowdeddddddddddd) watched The Leap Years with willy. the movie was nice but just abit too slow. haha, like what sis said, it's a 3.5 stars out of 5.
oh yah, finally get to dine at Ajisen after craving for it for so long! big portions of ramen just nice for a di-unch (i mean a intercepted dinner and lunch).

feeling very thankful and a 100% happy this weekend! im really veryyyyy surprised and thankful for my results! meanwhile, it's time to rack my brains sorting out the loan issues and looking out for bonds and if possible, scholarships/bursaries. let this happiness goes on, pray hard for me to enter my desired course smoothly and successfully, at a resonable interest rate for the tuition fees.

time for bed! still have to go for work tomorrow... goodnight!

2008-03-02T01:51:00.003+08:00

this week has been quite fun and at least a little different from the usual.

monday was a relaxed day, went home straight after work.

then on tues, caught a great deal at vivo with sis (:

met up with reena for dinner at vivo on wednesday and chatted for quite long. did loads of updating and catching up with each other. ahh... this feeling is... great.

on thurs, had a short OT with christina who kindly offered her help to pack the recuitment folders (: very nice of her... meltz.

hah, took a full day leave on friday due to the usual sickening cramp and aches which reminds me of the jj's sickbay. though those torturing cramps arent anything nice to remember, but the moments when cheryl, carmen, reena and qx accompanied me and sneaked in fries and wedges really made me love my jc life for once. so sad, cramps made me lose money cause ive to take unpaid leave. there goes my one day's pay......

so... in order not to waste the day struggling on the bed, i took panadols and meng chiong youtube, obsessed in the korean show "My girl". chiong-ed around 7 eps on friday and another 2 more today. im now left with the last 2 eps but dont feel like finishing it so soon, gonna be ultra bored after ive completed everything.......

this is my most recent video obsession and i wonder how am i going to find another show to make myself glued to the screen. any intro, carmor?

side tracking...... i found out that my angbao's cash is depleting!!! i havent even save any bit of it into the bank. im practically going to be left with nothing after tomorrow......

it's really really time to save up.

okay, tomorrow shall be my last splurge day. Tomorrow... LAST.
(untill the hk trip.........)

counting down to hk trip... 30 days to go :D

2008-02-24T22:52:00.005+08:00

saturday was a great day of fun and splurge. supposed to be a bday celebration for cheryl but many couldnt make it, had no choice but to either postpone it or cancel it. so in the end, cheryl and i still meet up and carmen suddenly joined us at around 7. she walked all the way from queensway to orchard, very very amazing... siaochabor. haha.

we chatted for quite long at coffee bean and realised that my expenses at work is the highest among the 3 of us. well, carmen and cy have already saved up 1k for the hk trip, im still struggling to. =/ if my angbaos money are included, im somewhere there already. but still... i would have had my 1k long ago if i could spend less on my lunch and dinners. to add on, my appetite is growing and ive no idea why. im eating extraordinarily more each meals.
it's really time for me to cut down my spending on food to save money and to lose some fat. =/
soooo... im going to have more home-cooked food next week!

the photos taken (:

and here's the photo of sharon and i, taken at the entrance of marina mandarin hotel. and of course, i looked too fair and fat. eyes small untill cannot... haha.

okay, lets pray hard that im going to acheive my saving plan and diet control for next week!

going to be happier and more energetic this week! at the same time, we shall look forward to the next weekend! ((:

-.-

this week feels completely different from last week. was in a rather happy happy mood last week probably due to the anticipation of d&d and the actual d&d event.

well, after all the fun last week, everything is back to the normal and the routine. something different from the usual was that one of my colleague is transferred to another office. that was definitely not a good news. it feels wierd, maybe i just cant get used to it. seems like loads of stuff happened this week and i did quite some bit of reflection. learnt to be more tolerant and to feel fortunate. hmm, just like...

when you met someone who behaves in a rather silly way, you should feel fortunate because you're able to behave apropriately. i guess it's normal to be angered by the silly acts of your friends and i finally get a taste of it after listening to carmen's rantings abt her beloved wierdo classmate for 2 yrs. it can really makes you boil sometimes. yet, you feel almost helpless, that's just the way she is. she just dont get what's wrong and just cant tell her straight into her face cause it's too harsh for such an innocent figure. sometimes, her innocence and her complete trust in you just melt you and it just make me feel like a big villian. hate this feeling, im going to get advices from carmen soon. afterall, she went thru this for 2 complete yrs! muhaha.
shit, i really feel like a villian, especially when i laughed sneakily at her wierd acts/funny expressions/awkward smiles/and the list goes on (this is so bad!) who knows, i might not be that pleasant in others' eyes too. pls, dont pass me any retribution. im awared of my bad deeds and im willing to change and accept others for who they are. im just............ a little pissed sometimes.

okay, i promise, i'll try to be a better person to clear my guilt. it's time for peili to train her patience and tolerance.

on a brighter note, im going out with cheryl tomorrow. nono, it should be later on. yes, just me and cheryl since the rest cant make it, we're converting it into a shopping and cam-whoring session instead of a bday celebration. im having the urge to spend money on bangles and some vintage stuff. life's boring, it's time for a change, to make life a little more anticipating and interesting. if only im financially capable of employing reena as image consultant. hahahaha.

what else... im going to set new week resolutions for every week! set the tasks that i wanna complete and hopefully try some new things each week! for now, ive only one task in mind, that is to go to my aunt's gym next week. im feeling fat and im eat exceptionally more this week......

let's look forward to a new weeeeekkkkkk okay.......

2008-02-18T23:35:00.003+08:00

im having cravngs for all sorts of food now. long john, pizza (VERY), subway, ice-blended mocha, banquet's sliced fish meehoon, westcoast hawker's steak, chilled sandwich and... ajisen's tomyam la mian. anyone who is free for dinner, pls sms me and we can arrange... haha...

anyway, this month's issue of the seventeen mag is not bad. haha, they offer 17 ways of spending time alone and i find them pretty useful. ahh, comes at the right time. but of the 17 methods, ive tried 6 already.

listing some of the stuff which i feel like trying, as recommended on seventeen:

1. cook something
love thinking up new receipes? test your culinary skills by preparing a nice three-course meal for yourself. Then sit down and savour it.
(sounds very cool isnt it? but apparently my culinary skills are limited. then the more i should give it a try! at most lao sai alone. =X)

2.Make like a Tourist
Explore a heritage neighbourhood or vibrant areas such as Arab Street or little india and Chinatown and take in all their distinctive sights, smells and sounds.
(can go and get some vintage stuff and take nice photos as well. i would prefer to go with a friend though)

3. Look good for nothing
Spend the afternoon trying on outfits and shoes in all your fave stores. this is a great way to find your style.
(would love to do it, but sg's salespersons' service arent very good. they probably give you black faces if you try 2o pcs and end up not buying. still, i want to try... and with a friend preferably, haha, im too hum to do it alone.)

4. Hit the books.
Browse the library or bookstore and look for tittles that grab your interest. who knows what treasures you might stumble upon.
(im currently doing so. borrowed 3 books on saturday and i have yet to flip a single page. sleeping on the bus seems to be more enjoyable than reading a book, coming online before bedtime seems better than reading a book. shit. however, i would like to go to kino one day... muahaha... volunteers? like carmen? ops.)

alright, time to go and sleep (again) so that i can stop knocking onto the passenger sitting beside me every morning.

2008-02-17T23:28:00.005+08:00

dead bored after staying at home for the entire day. i remembered i used to be very busy with all the homework and revision till i have to skip my fav tv shows, postpone some of the stuff that i like to do, and even have to restrict the amt of time i spent online. but now, im sick of staying online, lazy to chat on msn till the stage that i normally appeared offline. it has been thousand years long since i last chatted for long hours over the phone. getting more and more lazy to do anything and now, im feeling so useless and life's getting meaningless. (im not going to commit sucide, no worries)

used to spend long hours looking for nice photos/pictures online, finding and making blogskins. sigh, wonder what happened to me. maybe ive just passed the teenage period, losing interest in alot of so-called teenage activities.

got really really bored today after lazing around for hours, switched on the laptop for the second time today, to blog hop and also went surfing photobucket. saved quite alot of nice pictures under the vintage theme, realised vintage stuff are pretty nice (:

below are some of my favourites.

i love the bag!

well, the memories and best friends pictures look very carmen-ish. haha

"Everyone has a secret world inside of them" i believe it's true [:

i like the layout and colours.

like the shoes and beads.

feel like getting a hoodie in hk. not as pink as this though. haha

a vintage collage.

i want a polaroid camera! tsk, it would be so spendthrift if i really go and get one.

this is cute (:

"where did hope go?"

"You're just a line in a song"

i like the font and the bangles.

like her slim figure and her siky hair. haha

hopefully tomorrow wouldnt be so bored anymore. i really need to find back 'life'. if not im wasting the free-est moment i could ever have in my life. i should be enjoying. arrggh.
tolong tolong, results pls come out quick. this kind of waiting is driving me crazy, feeling so stucked and i cant do any planning now. dumped all the uni's brochures and i havent plan whether to go for their talks, for a very simple reason... i have no confidence in my results.
this feeling......... sucks.

d&d

2008-02-16T23:18:00.005+08:00

my very first D&D (:

had my very first d&d last night at marina mandarin hotel. it was a fanastic night with all the entertaining programmes and the humerous emcees. took quite alot of photos but i still havent had enough. haha, greedy. nevertheless, im glad i get to take nice photos under the orangey lightings there (cause i think i look nicer under those dim lights then the bright white light, look slimmer, muhaha)
the theme for yesterday's d&d was Retro and most of the ppl are really retro-ly dressed, and of coures, me too (:

Here's a photo of sharon, me, amanda and yvonne (from left to right)

me, christina and amanda.

actually, yvonne and amanda are from the other office, and im rather surprised ive got stuff to talk to them even though it's just the first few times ive met yvonne and the very first time ive met amanda.

a photo taken at the entrance of marina mandarin.

left to right - me, christina, yvonne, christine and sharon.

well, this is me and christina. haha, realised she's a very simple person.

here's me with paul. im looking fat here =/
so sad.

and me with peter!
peter and paul are brothers (:

kate and me. she's really very retro-ly dressed!
too bad it's not a full length photo, cant see the boots she's wearing.

okay, and below are 2 photos ive taken when im back home. i know, it's abit zi lian. haha, just wanna take down the make-up face of mine. eh, hopefully it doesnt look too much like a demon or monster. actually i kinda like it, look quite different. hahas... okay, enough. im still a noob in doing make-up. oh yah, by the way, i look my retro hairband alot! :D

okay, here comes my favourite photos for that night! (not in order)
they're my fav cause they're well-taken and im looking nicer than usual there. hehheh.

here's me and christine, who has left the company already. and it's actually my first contact with her last night. cool, she has a very very cute voice.

now, it's me and ah lei! i like this photo because it can only see my part of my face, hiding my big fat face. haha! and also, i like the lights on top which appeared like fireworks in this photo.

last of all, the photo of me and peter, taken after the event has ended.
awesomely taken, isnt it? (though my eyes look small again)
so much thanks to sharon (:

it's really a night to remember. my very first d&d, a very special and memorable night.
a pity i didnt get to take photos with kim, jasey and boss. i guess this is a very very pleasant working experience in orangetee, compared to my past experiences at wang foong and toyrus.
sadly, the days i have in orangetee are limited. this experience is just a stepping stone, i've still got a very way to go, alot more to pursue. hah, it's too early to say anything. if results turn out bad, i have got nowhere to go and hopefully orangetee dont mind having an A level sub-passed employee like me then. =X

whatever the case, i shant be bothered over such things now! it's supposed to be a joyous entry!
really really have to thank my friend alot for introducing this wonderful job to me (:
awwwww. im really feeling so thankful to everyone which made all these possible!
THANK YOU :D

2008-02-15T02:38:00.000+08:00

the night is dark now and i realised it has been quite a long time since i last sat here alone, enjoying the uninterupted flow of songs played on the fm, stare in blank, and sometimes, ponder.
this kind of feeling is something that i dont know how to describe in words.

xxxxx

confused by the masked faces, it's better to follow suit and put on a mask. there's always no harm keeping some stuff to yourself.

i think it's silly and it's time to get over such tiny weeny stuff and move on. because in the first place, im not supposed to go thru all these.

as much as i wish i can continue to enjoy this moment of serenity, my eyelids are feeling so heavy. it's time for bed and to end this beautiful day (:

goodnight and a happy belated valentine's day.

for singles, like what carmen wrote, it's a celebration of singlehood (:

2008-02-12T23:29:00.000+08:00

ah, after the long cny break, im really still in the festive mood and definitely not ready to work or do anything serious. this year's cny is superb without worrying abt common tests and homework. it's an ultimate enjoyment! feeling soooo thankful for this rare holiday after the 18 yrs of restricted amount of cny fun. 4 days of cny holiday just isnt enough! busy having fun everyday and each day was packed with activities (:

well, as usual. my favourite photo comes first (:
this is just one of my fav photos, the rest all mostly taken at the sentosa flowers fair.

here's a photo of the kids, not a full attendance one though. haha.
from top to bottom, left to right: kimseng, sis, yanying, huixuan, me, yanzhen.
and at the bottom are 3 of our nephews. yes, nephews. though you can only see 2 of them, there are actually 3 there. they're brothers - bryan, jeryl and marcus.
this photo is taken on chu yi, the first day (:

the girl in red below is our niece! so cute! her name is caley. not quite sure how to spell it, but it's pronnounce as kay-li.

and of course we have loads of food and steamboat sessions. da-dang! the photos of 3 seperate steamboat sessions at 2 different houses. fat fat fat.

here's a photo of me with my fav cousins, and all of them happened to be younger than me. ah, looks like im children idol. muhahahas.

im just kidding, haha. it's actually our common interest that has brought us so close, i supposed. and thats no other than gambling. dont worry, we're not addicts. we gather to gamble only once a year. hahas...

hah, look at the photo of the 5 of us 12 years ago. it was taken during CNY back in 1996, which is the year of the rat as well.

and look at our attempt to imitate our childish poses. haha, it isnt hard to notice how much we've matured. we've agreed to take another photo 12 years later (:

it makes me feel so fortunate to have a bunch of cousins who are fun and comfortable to be with.
hah, sadly, that only occurs on our paternal side. maybe there's something to do with the blood, they always say paternal cousins are genetically more identical. ive no idea though. if it goes according to the mendalian genetics, it doesnt seems to make sense. ah, whatever, i dont like bio and i cant spell mendalian. shit.

xxxx

then on chu san, the 3rd day. yy and ks joined us (me,sis,mum) for the flower fair thing at sentosa. the crowd was horribly and unexpectedly huge, making it less fanastic. in fact, all of us find this year's flower fair lousy. look at the crowd below, we have to queue to go up there for the flowers.

and below are the pretty pretty photos. love them...

doesnt this look like a personalised new year card? hahaha

alright, and on chu 2, the second day, the cousins went for a night movie - kungfu guan lan.
to me, it's niceeeee! but then... the rest of them find it alright only.
after that, ks and yy came over to our place to stayover. we continued our mahjong, dai dee and bridge session. muhahahas. loads of fun cause i won money. fair enough, i used the money to sponsor for ks and yy's sentosa entry fees :D

okay, ive used up so much time loading photos because the photos taken using the digi cam is really very big and take up alot of space. it's time to go to bed cause ive to work tomorrow.
dead beat now, after loithering around my estate because i forgot to bring my key out! sneaked into my dagu's condo and sat by the swimming pool for an hour then walked to westmall to have dinner alone. well, let's hope for a better tomorrow (:

on a brighter note, it seems like results arent coming out this friday and im able to enjoy and d&d. hopefully i'll be able to take nice photos on that day! let's look forward (:

goodnight!

2008-01-31T23:18:00.000+08:00

last week's photos! finally uploaded them. haha, told you im lazy. very very lazy.
okay, it was a saturday evening when we officially celebrated ida's bday (a belated one). it's actually a very simple dinner and it happened to be without the guys in our group.
2 of them are in army (sadly) and one busy with exams or projects. haha.
but well, celebration still goes on without the guys and we actually planned to do some shopping together before sitting down to enjoy a good meal. however, it turned out to be cheryl and i busy shopping while ida and carmen just followed behind. felt kinda bad, they dont seems to enjoy shopping. oops. should come up with a better activity next time. something that each of us likes. heh, eg, Eating. muhaha.

after the shopping session, we settled down at the restaurant famous for its zi char and fish head meehoon. ordered zi char with 5 or 6 dishes, i cant really remember. haha, lets see. we had wheat prawns (not sure with the actual name, haha), kai lan, tie ban tou fu, sweet and sour pork, hei zou. i think thats enough to shock the waitress aunties. esp when we asked for an extra bowl of rice, i can see their eyes ah... dropping. 4 girls eating so much, and also at a very fast speed too... haha.

thats not all, we went for deserts at crystal jade! muhaha, realised not all the deserts there are nice. but my first try for mango dont know what with sago and pomelo turns out well. haha, and i also like cheryl's mango pudding with ice cream. hmm, the other 2.. not that nice leh. haha...

in all, i guess we had loads of fun that day (even without the guys)! ops, haha. but still, it would be good to have them around. hopefully they're able to join us for the next gathering.
maybe for jason's bday or cheryl's bday? we shall see...

elaboration on the photos below: it's the grandma's smile shoot! hah, my invention! nice one.

carmen's imitation looks benevolent, cheryl's one looks like a funny and siao ah ma, ida's looks like contented ah ma. haha, i think mine looks like a lecher ah ma! omg.

hah, the day ends with a random photo of the three of them. hmm, i tried to come up with a theme for their photo, but then.... it's really hard. 3 ultra no link poses.

alrightsssss, that's all for last week. this week we'll all be busy with preparation for chinese new year? and the week after we maybe meeting up! and this time... we have decided to go for steamboat celebration! muhahas, food food and food again. let's look forward (:

2008-01-27T17:12:00.000+08:00

some overdue photos. haha. taken during cy's bday celebration and christmas party at tj's place.

im really slow in loading photos and ive to admit, im lazy.

2008-01-23T23:51:00.000+08:00

been thinking quite alot these few days to the extent that im having nightmares which are supposed to be a good dream. sounds confusing, let me explain. haha.

it's like this...

im always awared that my dreams (those that occur when im sleeping, not daydream, not ambition) are always the opposite from reality. im very very awared of that esp after the dream i had before receving my Os results. i dreamt that my grades are so bad that i cant even qualify for poly and have to retake as a private. omg.

so, last night, i dreamt that i dreamt that i was in the sch hall, waiting for my results. well, ive got ABB for my 3 H2 subjects. an A for my GP (how impossible) and a B for my econs. and because i know it's only a dream, it's not real, i started yelling, really yelling on the bed (i didnt realise it's a nightmare of a dream until i actually heard my own yelling). im fustrated, just because i know it's not possible for me to get ABB anymore since that has already appeared in my dream.

i think im really feeling the tension. it must be because my sis is getting her O's results tomorrow.

heh, all the best to her. my prediction is 14points, raw score.

apart from that, i think of alot other things. somehow, they're all sad stuff.

im seeking for motivation, to make wake up each morning, feeling that it's a new and fresh day. not another ordinary and routine day. it's hard, esp when everyone is handling with their own working life. shit, i really dont want to feel this way. i guess i seldom appear gloomy back in jj. always crapping in hokkien with reena, running around the LT after lectures to look for cheryl and carmen, talking rubbish with melvin, cheryl and carmen after sch, ponning lectures, gossiping, and so many so many other stuff. seriously, im missing this kind of life already.

it's so contradicting, i wish i could be younger but at the same time i wish im older, maybe in my twenties. somehow, i feel stucked and restricted at this age.

told you im thinking, thinking too much. sigh.

2008-01-18T00:11:00.000+08:00

Life hasnt been as good as i thought.
i always think so that life after the big As are going to be very very much more fun than the mugging and schooling period. midnight movies, late night shopping, long hours of tv, going to bed in the morning, waking up in the late noon, meeting up with all my friends and talking long hours on the phone. Sadly, my life is farrrr farrr from expected.
what, im waking up 7am going to bed before 1am everyday. spent at most 3 hours on tv, 1 hour for dinner and shower, and perhaps 2 hours online.
many many tasks that i once wished to complete after As and before christmas. apparently, none are successfully carried out. room revamp? regular blogging? arranging my photo album? take more photos? i really dont think ive done any of the above.

maybe. this can be abit consoling.

a simple photo frame ive made and it's placed on my shelf (:

time for a little update before i lose track of my boring life.
okay, met up with willy on last saturday to pass him a shirt before he left sg for training in NZ.
the quite artistic photo is taken using his phone. really quite nice, isnt it?

then, on the same day, ive also met cheryl for shopping and melvin joined as later on for dinner.
we had longgg chat, talking about As, our results, our fear and our sec school days.
surprisingly, we've got soooo much to talk about and it doesnt feel weird at all!
it's surprising because melvin is like a complete stranger to us in bbss and we suddenly got close in jj. haha, sometimes things just turn out in a funny way. what else, we spent a few hours online together, sharing and watching jap and american funny videos on youtube. they're mostly cheryl's intro but i remembered the one which melvin introduced very clearly as well. a video on 2 girls eating shit. yes, shit, sai, really sai. damn gross.

hmm, i guess that's the latest interesting event for me.
working life makes me feel like im no longer a student and ive lost the momentum of studying.
please, dont ever let me have to retake As. i dont think i can go thru everything again, but alone.

My job is rather routine, not much of interesting stuff to do. however, the people there are interesting. especially, peter and paul. hahaha (:

let me get the desired results and enter uni happily. please please.

mcdull

2008-01-09T23:30:00.000+08:00

wednesday, another typical and ordinary working day. at least time seems to pass rather fast today, making it not that bad. other than that, i found a mcdull cushion on my manager's seat!
it looks very very very cute. im usually not that interested in soft toys but this time, i really really feel like having one mcdull! an exactly same one! it's soooo nice to hug, just the right size!
what's best is it's stupid look can cheer up the day! tempted tempted, wonder how much it costs.

since my manager is on mc today and im knocking off soon, haha, i took quite alot of photos with this mcdull. only intend to take one nice one and that's it. but apparently, mcdull's head is way to big to fit in the picture with me. i tried quite hard, but still... couldnt get it the way i wanted.

okay, kinda buey chai si, taking photos with my manager's toy at her seat when she's on mc.
haha, but this mcdull is just too... stupidly cute.

2008-01-08T23:06:00.000+08:00

haha, what a bad start. just a few days ago, i was saying im back. then im gone for two three days again. fell sick and all i did was work, go home, watch tv, sleep for the past 2 days.
im finally feeling abit better! not feeling cold anymore, FINALLY. ive been dressed in jacket, trackpants, socks and gloves. im really really feeling very veryyy cold.

at least for now, im just left with quite a bad cough without flam (is it spelled this way?) though. how wierd.

so, im posting the photos taken on saturday! with my mum, cheryl and her mum.

here's me and my mum (:

cheryl's mum and cheryl.

me and cheryl

the photo that i think i looked best in (out of the photos we've taken that day)

and i guess this is cheryl's favourite photo. haha

okay, loads of fun but quite a tiring saturday due to all the detouring and window shopping.

as for today, im pretty happy. nono, should be contented (:
tomorrow'll be a better day!

im back!

2008-01-05T02:30:00.000+08:00

yeah, it's the 5th of jan 2008 and im back to blogging after deserting it for nearly a month.
ive no idea what exactly pulls me back to blogging, but i really think i sound quite useless. acting cool, saying that im not going to blog anymore and then, what. im back to blogging. haha...

maybe it's because ive really taken quite alot of photos these days and it's a pity not to post them nicely somewhere. besides, im rather free and really have quite alot of time to do things like blogging?

for now, im :

working in orangetee.
thinking of my new yr resolutions
taking more photos
worrying abt my results
trying to start to arrange my photo albums
trying to save up for the coming hk trip
trying to do learn more stuff
trying to fill up the free time im having, by doing interesting stuff (:

okay, on a side note. my mum and i are going to meet up with cheryl and her mum for a lunch treat from cheryl's mum. and it's just because my mum has helped her to buy the mattress sheet sets. how cool (:

time to go to bed! goodnight!

goodbye.

2007-12-09T23:54:00.000+08:00

sometimes when you need peace, you just couldnt get it.
goodbye world.

sounds like im going to commit sucide, but im not.

sometimes it's the online sharing that makes one feels lonelier than before.
it's sounds wierd, but it's true.

do i dont understand myself or am i trying to make others understand me?

afterall, i feel restricted here. bothered by readers' reactions, comments and sometimes, the concerns they're going to give.

so, im giving up blogging and im going to get a diary soon.
goodbye! (:

2007-12-05T13:52:00.000+08:00

a rainy noon and im in comfortably in my white jacket. such a blessing, and i sound as though im in some winter country, enjoying some holiday.

haha, but the truth is definitely not as perfect. im in office and starting work soon. just taking a short break after lunch (:
feel kinda bad, im like doing nothing meaningful when my colleague are busying.

alright, work time. bye
