a moment like this

2012-01-16T12:57:00.001+08:00

There are some things you wait a lifetime for, expecting it to be huge when it actually happens.

Some people that you've always thought were unattainable, coz you've put them high on a pedestal somewhere in your heart and head.

Some feelings which you've waited so long to feel, thinking it will never happen.

And maybe it never will.

Coz when the moment I waited so long for finally came (kinda), it was at best just.. Okay.

I don't know if it's because my expectations changed or if it wasn't even what I expected it to be, but maybe it would've been better to just hold that magic inside and not made things happen.

Now there's really nothing much left to dream about.

the art of making resolutions you can keep

2012-01-01T20:42:00.004+08:00

HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS!!

Yes, can't believe its 2012 ALREADY! And I'm 27 this year.. :( Time just passes too fast.

Anyway, I was actually planning not to make any resolutions this year coz I somehow always end up not keeping them.. Till I saw one of my friend's resolutions on facebook.

Her list was something like this..
1. Get a driving license
2. Get a diving license
3. Go to Taiwan

Hmm.. All along I thought the point of making resolutions was to improve yourself and not just do stuff you wanna do.. I guess everyone has a different view on that? So, this year I'm gonna make fun resolutions which I know I can keep!

1. Go to Korea!
2. Continue to party hard!
3. Go on a short trip twice a year! (Not JB; JB will be like, every month)
4. Blog more!

And the not-so-fun ones..

1. Get my driving license.
2. Get a Mass Comm degree.
3. Lose weight!

Yup, that about sums it up. I had a whole different idea about how I was gonna blog this but my brain is in holiday mode! Yes, I know I have alot of excuses but bear with me for now k! ;)

hello, kitty!

2011-11-18T01:02:00.001+08:00

Went for the 3D sneak preview of [puss in boots] at Suntec Eng Wah today. Expected more from the movie but it still had its cute and funny moments nonetheless! Worth it to watch on a weekday! :)

short update!

2011-10-07T12:53:00.001+08:00

Hello hello! I think I should blog at least once a month so that whatever writing skills I have left won't disappear! On that same note, I recently realized that I REALLY like editing other peoples writing. All along I thought I liked writing, but I guess I prefer correcting other people's mistakes more. I still love writing though. Plus, you'd have to be a good writer before you can be an editor right? Heh.

Just a short update; I've been working at Underwater World as a marketing coordinator for more than 3 months already! So far it's been not bad.. Like the colleagues alot and time passes VERY fast. But it's just not what I really wanna do. So I've decided to take a degree in mass comm to work towards my dream of being a journalist! Just not sure on the school yet..

Oh ya and also my birthday came and went and now I'm officially 26 years old!! :( time passes too fast man. But really, I'm thankful to God for giving me an almost perfect life and for letting me live these 26 years! I say almost perfect coz there's definitely room for improvement in the money department, but I'm still very thankful nonetheless! <3

Ok, shall try to blog again soon!

b.elated.

2011-08-11T00:10:00.001+08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE ONLY COUNTRY I EVER WANNA LIVE IN!! <3

P.S. I know I haven't been blogging for a long time.. Will update soon!!

near-death experience

2011-05-10T05:17:00.001+08:00

I almost would not have been blogging this if things had been any different.

JUST GOT CHASED BY 3 MAD/STRAY DOGS WHILE CYCLING WITH MY BRO AT ECP!!

Thank God my bro was there.

Thank God we pumped the bicycle tires before cycling down to ecp.

Thank God we were not jogging.

Thank God the dogs eventually stopped chasing us.

There's really so many things to thank God for la!!

We were cycling around the dark secluded bend at ECP when the dogs suddenly came out of the bushes, barking wildly.

My first instinct was to scream and cycle faster and my bro was shouting at me to keep peddling faster. I swear that was the FASTEST I ever cycled in my whole life!!

The 3 dogs were abit taller than my knee and they looked like the crazy-and-will-bite-you-asap kind la!! They chased us for about 5mins!! (my bro says it was shorter and that I only think it was 5 mins coz it was a scary situation)

Thoughts going through my head were, "shit I don't wanna die today!", "if only I had a gun", "maybe if I pet them like my friends' dogs they won't bite", "if I don't die of getting bitten I'd probably die of exhaustion cycling" and "GOD PLS HELP US!!!"

That had to be the scariest 5 mins of my life!!

They stopped chasing us when we were reaching the lagoon hawker centre and I immediately told my bro I wanted to take a cab home. Unfortunately the bikes could not fit into the cab so we cycled back. My legs almost gave way when I got off the bike!

Still traumatized now man. My bro still can laugh and say that it was an experience!!

More like a near-death experience la! I so do not wanna be dog food!!

Guess I'm never gonna cycle to ecp at night again.

how to survive a day without twitter/fb

2011-04-22T22:56:00.003+08:00

Now I know why I love twitter so much. There are just some things that are too short for an entire blog post but perfect for a one-liner tweet. Like, " I went to church today only to realize that the service was in Chinese!" Yes, true story.

Anyway, I woke up this afternoon and instinctively wanted to check twitter but remembered the promise. So, here's a list of things I've been doing to stop myself from tweeting. (Ya I realized twitter is more important to me than fb)

- Playing words with friends (I'm at maximum capacity already! Playing with as many people as possible)
- Reading CLEO
- Checking out travel packages online
- Blogging (There's not much point of this post other than to stop me from tweeting. Haha.)
- Playing around with my photo apps. Check out the photos!

Aren't those cats cute? I'm not particularly an animal lover but they ALWAYS stick together below my block and one of them even came into my house TWICE before! That's amazing considering I live on quite a high storey. [PhotoComic app]

Isn't this so cute also!?? Mashimaro is one of the few cartoon characters I like! [Mashimaro PT app]

I like this effect alot! [Live FX Lite and Polarize app]

Ok, I've managed to survive through the day! Another couple of hours and I can open my twitter app!! =D

disconnect to connect for a GOOD FRIDAY

2011-04-22T03:44:00.001+08:00

The title of my post comes partly from this YouTube video which Eric showed me some time back.

I can't link it coz I'm using my hp to blog but basically it's an ad which brings across the message that people can be physically together yet worlds apart thanks to the very thing which I'm using to blog now.

Technology has gotten so advanced that people all over the world can communicate with each other, yet 2 people can sit next to each other and play with their handphones, not talking at all. Facebook and twitter accounts are updated regularly, but updates in real life are seldom exchanged between friends. I'm sure most of you reading this are guilty of the above! I have 2 friends (namely Cammie and Angele haha) who reply to tweets but not to sms-es!!

That said, I am also guilty of sometimes ignoring group conversations when I meet up with my friends, choosing to play my game (words with friends! Add me! pinkmist02) or update twitter/fb statuses instead. Those who know me know that social media is an integral part of my life and I check twitter feeds at least once every waking hour.

So, in the spirit of good Friday, I have decided to abstain from fb and twitter! For those of you who don't know, good Friday is one of most important days for Catholics coz it's the day Jesus died for our salvation! So we, in turn, make small sacrifices to show our acknowledgement and gratitude.

Yes, I know it might not seem like alot to abstain from fb/twitter (especially when you compare it to someone dying for you) but to me it is coz I'm practically an addict! I hope I make it through the day!! :x

the aging process

2011-04-08T05:35:00.001+08:00

I distinctly remember that there was something I so badly wanted to blog about yesterday, but I can't remember what it is for the life of me! My memory is really getting as old as me!! And it's these small things that make me fear growing older.

They say age is just a number, but is it really? I used to think it's ok being mid-twenties, as long as I'm young at heart (haha) but my body is physically telling me I'm old! My memory is getting worse, my back aches after a night of mahjong, I can't go without sleep for a day without feeling tired and my knees hurt when I over exert them!

Totally sounding like an old woman already right? And as if those signs of aging are not bad enough, the people around me make it hard for me to live in my 18 year old world anymore. Of course, it's good that they do coz someone like me definitely needs a reality check! But with all my close friends getting married one by one and one of them even pregnant (congrats Alifya! cant wait to see your kid!!), I suddenly feel scared that I'm.. A grown-up.

When I was younger, I always thought all grown-ups were smart and sensible by default. Like, they hit 21 and are immediately instilled with a sense of responsibility and direction. Unfortunately, it doesn't happen that way. At least not for me. I feel like I'm still stuck with an 18 year-old's mindset and not much has changed.

But I guess eventually, it's actually the experiences we go through which make us wiser (if we choose to learn from them!) and the responsibility part just has to come with being wiser. And I'm lucky that I'm blessed with a great family and friends who are always so supportive while at the same time, advising me on the stuff I should do.

So although I dread this aging thing, life is still good. Can't say the same about my back though..

What's the line between ethical and unethical?

2011-03-12T05:55:00.003+08:00

Ok, I was just gonna sleep when this caught my eye in the Facebook live feeds. For those of you who are too lazy too read, basically Mr Brown was more or less ridiculing the Marketing team at Channel News Asia for sending out a mass email asking the recipients to book advertising slots during their coverage on the Japan tsunami. Tons of people have commented on the post, mostly slamming the sender as well, saying he is unethical, insensitive, no compassion, etc.

So, I kinda always prided myself as being quite ethical, but why is it that I feel that CNA is not doing any wrong? Is it really so unethical of them to just do their job?? Advertisements are where they get a main portion of their profits from what! If they're not allowed to earn from bad news, and I bet more than half the news reports are bad, then they might as well just close down! Or just report the good news? I mean, it's not like they're harming anyone or they caused the damn earthquake lor. Like one person commented, their coverage might have made some people aware of the situation or provided information on how to help/donate money. Yes, the email could've been a little more sympathetic instead of gleeful sounding, but come on la, who gives you the right to judge anyway?

I can't stand self-righteous people sometimes. You really feel sad then go there and help or donate a significant amount of money la. I dunno, maybe I just don't see what's so wrong about it.

Anyway, God bless Japan and be thankful we live in a safe country!

FML!

2011-03-03T06:33:00.004+08:00

This wasn't the original title or post that I wanted to blog, but well..

I JUST BLOGGED FOR LIKE 20 MINS AND THE WEBSITE WENT CRAZY ON ME!!

Arghhhhhhhh!

So fed up.

Will re-blog my post after I've calmed down.

And yes, the reason I'm doing this is coz I can't/decided not to sleep.

me : 10 yrs ago

2011-02-18T06:56:00.001+08:00

Omg!! I just read my diary from 10 years back! I thought I hadn't changed much but I was so wrong! I used to be naive, goody-two-shoes and self-righteous to the point that I was kinda a bitch!

To those of you who are thinking, " She's still like that now what!" , HA. HA. Yes, I might still be naive in the sense that I trust people too easily and believe in fairytale romances, but trust me, the me now is NOTHING compared to 10 years ago. It's sad that over the past 10 years the world has corrupted me and I've learnt that things are not always to be seen through rose-tinted glasses, but in a way, I guess it's a good thing too.

Goody-two-shoes? Doubt anyone will call me that now. Self-righteous? I know I have no right to be. So yup, definitely a big change.. But ya la I agree I'm still naive la k!

Time passes so fast it's scary.. How did 10 years just pass like that? And I haven't improved myself in anyway except probably education.

Sigh. I guess it's time to do some reflection on my life. Again.

happy chinese new year!

2011-02-07T04:04:00.001+08:00

Time passes so fast doesn't it? After celebrating 26 chinese new years, I realized something funny.

While the normal english new year is full of resolutions and auld lang syne's, chinese new year is all about the gambling, the drinking, and the gluttony!!

I've been eating non-stop since cny eve and trust me, it's not funny how big my tummy had become!!

My colleague even dieted before cny coz he knew cny is a time when the weight will come piling on!

Sigh. I guess it's true that singaporeans live to eat. Time to start an exercise regime again!!!

a little me-time

2011-01-27T06:44:00.001+08:00

It was raining heavily after work today so dinner plans were canceled. The weather was so nice that I decided to go home and do some self pampering.

I always loved the concept that I could 'self-spa' at home, with just afew essential items.

shower gel with the loofah followed by a scrub for a nice long warm bath

whitening body lotion bought from beauty buffet in Thailand; smells like vanilla!

And then after that I cooked sardine pasta!! For the second time this month! I'm so awed by the fact that pasta is so easy to cook and I'm so proud of myself that I did not burn my kitchen down! Lol.

doesn't look too bad right?

Ate it while watching the latest episode of [Gossip Girl] and wanted to check out YouTube for some videos on how to do nail art but my brother spoiled my plans by taking over the computer!

So I used my eye mask and fell asleep while using it! And woke up at 5.30am. And here I am. This always happens when I use my sheet masks! Next time really have to leave the masks for the last! Tsk.

Ok gonna try get a little more sleep..

P.s. Sorry if the photos look weird.. Dunno whether the blogging app is good for photos anot..

I'm back!!!!

2011-01-23T04:38:00.001+08:00

Oh yes, I know I've not been blogging for a long time. Been busy and lazy as usual! Plus, what with Facebook and twitter, it's so easy to just try and squeeze everything into a one-liner status update.

And not to mention, my computer is so freaking slow! But I found a solution to that! Was sitting at the hairdresser listening to crappy Chinese New Year songs when I thought," iPhone has apps for everything, why not blogging too?" and true enough they did!! So hopefully now I'll be blogging more often!

P.S. This post is specially dedicated to my one loyal reader Jasmine Chng. Lol!! Met the gals for supper just now; totally miss hanging out with them!

The Cathay 75 Years anniversary promo ends with 75 disgruntled patrons

2010-10-01T13:16:00.006+08:00

Ok, I know I haven't blogged for very long coz I've been busy and lazy as usual but what happened today made me so pissed off I have to blog about it!!

Jace told me about the promotion where we could get 75 movie tickets for $75 about a month ago, and we were so excited about it that I took leave just to go queue for the tickets which had to be bought at 10am today. However, she realised she couldn't go at the last minute so I pulled another 2 unfortunate friends of mine to go with me.

This was the promo (taken from cathay's website) :

Purchase 75 movie passes* at only $75!

Be among the first 75 patrons at The Cathay Cineplex (Level 5 box office)

From 1st October 2010

Terms & Conditions

Packages are available for sale only at The Cathay Cineplex.

Limited to the 1st 75 customers and are valid only while stocks last.
Limited to one (1) 75-movie pass package* per customer.
Not valid with other discounts and promotions at Cathay Cineplexes.
The Management reserves the right to amend any terms of this promotion without prior notice.

So we reached there about 2+ am (we actually went to cine first but realised it was wrong info given by jace, the person on duty there was not very helpful and didn't seem to know much about the promo either) and when my friend parked his car, we realised there was an entrance from the car park to the building. However, when we talked to the security guard we were told that people would only be allowed in from 9am onwards from ONE entrance to start queueing.

Thinking that the security would have it under control, we walked to the front of The Cathay where there was already a queue. The first group of people who were queueing were really nice and they told us that they wanted everything to be orderly and formed a queue. They even stuck a sign on the wall!!

This was way more efficient than Cathay management can ever hope to be. All they had was a sign at certain entries stating that doors open at 9am and ticket sales start at 10am, which is fine IF they actually acted according to the sign but..

3am. We talked, smoked, ate junk food.

4am. We played with our handphones.

5am. Our handphone batteries died. We grew restless.

6am. The queue grew longer, probably hit 75 people around that time. We were sleep deprived.

7am. Our butts and backs ached and we started counting down.

8am. Another guy in the queue spoke to all of us asking us to go into the building in a civilised manner as the first 75 of us in the queue outside had already written our names down on a list passed around by the first group to ensure we would get the tickets.

8.30am. The Cathay management finally let us queue outside the glass door entrance. By then, this was the queue.

Yes, it was already wayyy past 75 people but at least these people bothered queueing in an orderly manner.

9am. Two women from Cathay came and shouted fiercely at the front people. Could not really hear what they were saying but they were behaving like total bitches. Some people were trying to cut queue also. Anyway, finally the doors opened and we were all so happy that we would finally get what we waited for so long! Some people even ran up the escalators coz the lifts were overcrowded.

SO, can you imagine our total dismay and anger when we reached Level 5 and there were already like 100 over people in the queue?!!?! Omg I'm so pissed just thinking about it now la!!! How the hell did those people get up there if Cathay did their job and made sure that ONLY ONE ENTRANCE? Well, obviously not through that one entrance as we can see by the comments below.

Obviously we were unhappy. We queued for 8 freaking hours! Some of them even up to 12 hours!! We thought Cathay had a proper system. We thought wrong.

So we (the original 75 queueing) went to the front of the queue and started questioning the management. Words were shouted here and there and everyone was getting really upset and all the management could tell us was that they already had the first 75 people. Way to make an angry crowd even angrier, Cathay! Best part is, the 2 fierce looking Cathay women staff took the list of the 75 names and the Theatre Manager didn't even know who they (the staff) were when he was questioned!!! Laughable right? Since then the list has mysteriously disappeared and a new one has been made.

After lotsa chaos, Cathay called the police in (LOL) and the Theatre Manager, Mr Jeevan, said he would speak to afew of us to find out what was happening. We waited another TWO hours (during which the press from Straits Times and TNP came to interview us) while he talked to them and when he came out, he said he would escalate this issue and would email all of us within 48 hours with a satisfactory reply on this issue.

Honestly, the only satisfactory reply would be for us to have the tickets. And I really really hope they do coz I would hate to boycott Cathay, but trust me, I'm so angry I'd probably do it.

kuku kukup

2010-07-17T01:57:00.002+08:00

HELLO!!! i'm here to dust some of the cobwebs off my blog again! haha. i don't know why i was filled with a sudden desire to blog..

was it coz i went to read a blog post on kukup and suddenly thought of my blog? was it coz i realised i haven't blogged for 1.5 months(!!!!!!!!)? or was it coz i just had the urge to write?

i guess its everything la! and it seems like i always blog before going on a 'holiday', coz i'm always too excited to sleep! though today i'm really tired but i can't stop watching the korean show [cinderella's sister] my newest addiction!!

anyway, for those of you who don't know, i'll be going to kukup with the girls (and some of their bfs) tomorrow!! can't wait. heard its like free flow of food all day la so i guess i'll come back fatter than ever. *sniff*

been sometime since our last holiday at bintan.. or was it thailand? can't remember. and this time mich sng will be coming with us! its almost the whole group of us finally going for a holiday together!!

anyway, this time i won't promise to blog about the trip coz i realised my bintan one is still not up.. haha. can just forget about that already la. i'll try to blog about kukup though coz it'll be a different experience in a kelong!!

sorry la. been really busy working and studying and working in shebang!! short updates.. i've been going malaysia regularly (mostly jb, but tomorrow kukup and next week genting!), i bet on every world cup game and lost $300+ in total (damn france, italy and germany), i went for family day (was fun but my camera is spoilt so will blog about it another time) and ya, my camera's spoilt!!! so sad.

More pledges!

2010-05-26T00:56:00.003+08:00

My parents have looked at my blog and they have decided to pledge too! Haha.

Here are their pledges..

My mum pledges to cook once a week (yay! i <3 home cooked food!!!!)

My dad pledges to bring us for family outings once a fortnight (movies movies movies!! and maybe cycling..)

Hope this coming family day will be a successful one!

I pledge to spend more time with my family!

2010-05-23T05:15:00.003+08:00

You know how I always go on and on about how we should spend more time with our family while we can? Well, sometimes I tend to forget that and recently I was thinking I must put aside at least 2 days of the week for them, especially my parents, since I already spend so much time with my brother.

Incidentally, Nuffnang is collaborating with the National Family Council and is giving away tickets to local attractions for a fun-filled family day to selected people who make the pledge!

So, my pledge is to spend at least one weekday and one weekend having dinner with my family and to visit my grandma at least once a fortnight. No matter how busy we are, we should all spend a little time with our families to bond because they are the most important people in our lives. I know I keep saying it but really, don't wait till its too late to regret.

NATIONAL FAMILY CELEBRATIONS 2010 (NFC 2010)

Organised by the National Family Council, National Family Celebrations is an annual event which celebrates and reinforces the importance of families and family life. This year, Singaporeans are encouraged to make a personal commitment to their families by being a part of the Singapore Family Pledge Movement.

2010-05-21T01:13:00.000+08:00

OMG THIS IS LIKE THE FIRST TIME I'M BLOGGING USING MY HP!!! SO FUN! lol. k la i know i very suaku.. =(

the only reason i'm doing this is coz my computer is still damn laggy and i feel like i haven't blogged for some time..

well that's coz my computer is a total turn off k! the only thing i use my computer for these days is to watch my shows. other than that i use my trusty phone!

actually this phone is holding up pretty well for a second hand phone that has no on button as a result of me dropping it 4 times consecutively. yes, i was drunk.

that said, i'm still gonna get an iphone once my contract is up! just to tell everyone its not really that great/gloat over the fact that i can finally not be the only human left not using one!

hmmm i actually didn't plan to blog about all this but somehow it just came out. fits in well with the title eh? MOBILE blogging geddit? okok..

time to sleep! i'm getting lame and my fingers are getting tired.

good night world!

Why I Have Not Been Blogging Excuse #207

2010-04-27T23:58:00.003+08:00

I don't have a computer to blog with!!!

Yes I know that sounds pathetic but its true ok!! My bro's laptop is spoiled, my shared computer which I'm using now is so freaking laggy it takes 75mins to watch an episode of [How I Met Your Mother] which is like 20mins, and I even tried going to blogger on my phone but it doesn't load. *sigh*

So here I am, testing my patience with this lousy computer, but its actually pretty ok today. I definitely can't load any photos though, will take forever. So I shall not promise to blog about the India trip but I will try k! If no posts about it in 3 months means no posts about it forever!

Congrats to Alifya and Nadeem though! Can't believe one of my girls is married!! Happy for her, scared for myself. LOL.

Other short updates..

Work is good! I will blog more about it another time but I like it coz time passes fast, my colleagues are nice (I have to say this coz they're stalking my blog haha[jk la they're really nice!]) and its FREAKING NEAR MY HOUSE!! Though I always don't go home after work.. Lol. But I miss my Jennie Lee Bao Bao!! Haha. And the other HSBC girls..

I saw JANG GEUN SUK!!! He's freaking hawt la!!!!!!!! Ok I think he deserves an entire post so will blog about that another time too.

Other than that, I'm back at BQ tentatively, I've been clubbing and L4D-ing as usual, don't really have much time for anything else.

Oh ya.. And I've watched almost every movie there is. Hahaha.

Keke, time to sleep soon. *sigh* I hate office hours.

Haha. Night!

leaving on a jet plane..

2010-03-24T05:57:00.001+08:00

and by jet i mean some lousy malaysian airlines plane. i'm going to india in 8 hours!! back on tuesday.

miss me, ok? =)

the interview

2010-03-22T11:29:00.003+08:00

Just came back from an interview. First thing i wanna get off my chest?

THE RECEPTIONIST WAS A TOTAL BITCH!

Ok, maybe she wasn't a bitch to me per se but she was just a bitch in general k! I walked in, smiled at her, told her I was looking for the HR person and she just looked back at me sour-faced(would have been quite pretty if she even gave a semblance of a smile), and took out four sheets of paper, passed them to me WITHOUT SAYING A WORD. I mean, ok la, its common sense that I should fill up the application form but shouldn't she at least tell me out of basic courtesy? God.

So I looked through the four pages and the first 2 were the basic details about yourself. Then I saw the next 2 pages I nearly fainted. One was a plain sheet of paper asking me to "write a paragraph about myself". That I could handle. The other one looked exactly the same but it was in chinese!! And I wasn't sure if the instructions were the same but I assumed they were from what little sense I could make out of it. After I finished filling up everything except the chinese form, I went to the receptionist and asked if I still needed to fill up the chinese form since I filled up the english one. Unfortunately, she said yes.

I spent the next 10 minutes thinking about what I knew how to write in chinese and ended up with one sentence. 我是一个很喜欢跟别人讲话的人. (I just looked for that whole sentence using online pin yin dictionary. My pin yin is actually damn good. If I could've written the description in pin yin I could've written alot more!) Anyway, I know it sucks but at least I attempted SOMETHING right?

Oh ya, one more thing I forgot to mention is that I REALLY wanted the job(coz its damn near my house, haha) thats why I put in so much effort. If it were any other job I would've probably fucked it and handed up a blank sheet of paper.

Anyway, after that was interviewed by the HR and then the project manager AND THEN still made to do a written test but I passed!! The HR exec told me I was shortlisted and would liase with the recruitment agency about the pay. =D

Pray that I get the pay I want k! Will update again soon!! =)

P.S. I know there's a possibility that the bitch in question might one day see this but well, hope not! Lol.

When in Rome..

2010-03-19T03:57:00.002+08:00

..do as the Romans do!

Okok, this is actually a Nuffnang movie contest to catch the show.

"An ambitious young New Yorker (Kristen Bell), disillusioned with romance, takes a whirlwind trip to Rome where she defiantly plucks magic coins from a ‘foolish’ fountain of love, inexplicably igniting the passion of an odd group of suitors: a sausage magnate (Danny Devito), a street magician (Jon Heder), an adoring painter (Will Arnett) and a self-admiring model (Dax Shepard). But when a charming reporter (Josh Duhamel) pursues her with equal zest, how will she know if his love is the real thing?"

I think Beth(Kristen Bell) should be with Nick(Josh Duhamel) because..

1. He's hot!
2. He's a reporter, I like that.
3. He's the main actor, he'd end up with her ANYWAY.

And as for the 3 things I want in my partner.. Well, last time when I was younger people would ask me," What kinda guy do you like? " and all I could answer was," Ah Bengs! ". Lol. But as years go by, I now know what I want.

1. Someone who is close/filial to his parents.
2. Someone with a kind heart but a little bit of toughness for that bad boy feel (yes i can't get over the ah bengs totally!)
3. Someone who has a group of close friends just like me. (somehow i just prefer the ones with one group of close friends over the ones with many friends but none are close)

Yup, that would probably the top 3 criteria. Haha.

Catch When In Rome Movie starting from 25th March 2010 and join the official Facebook and Twitter page!

P.S. Join and you could win tickets too!

at the risk of sounding cliche..

Ok, I know I haven't blogged for very long. More on that later.

I went to SGH to visit my friend today. He was shot while in Thailand for military training and his eyesight might be affected. On my way there, while I was there and after I came back, alot of thoughts passed through my head but the one that kept replaying was, "treasure what you have now". And I'm sure all my other friends who were there were thinking the same thing.

But why is it that it takes a mishap for us to think that way? I guess being human, we tend to take things for granted and we only realise how important certain things/people are to us when we are on the verge of losing/have already lost it.

So, stop complaining about how sucky life is and be grateful for the little things we tend to take for granted like bring able to walk and talk freely and having a fully abled body. Treat the people who are close to you the way they are supposed to be treated. Alot of people tend to be more rude to their family members (i'm one of them), simply because we know they love us so much and will never hold it against us. But they deserve better than that, don't they?

Treasure what you have; be it your own well-being or the people around you. And to my friend, hope you get well soon.

Ok, enough sappy talk. Short update.. I know its been a long time since I've blogged and this time I shall not give any excuses. I've been lazy!!! And I can't really say I've been busy with work coz I have not been working for one week already. Haha, yes I've served my notice and am finally out of that hellhole! After me, another 2 girls quit. Lol. So, now I'm slacking/looking for a new job. Of coz been partying alot but money's running low already. *sigh*

Oh ya, also haven't been blogging coz nobody's tagging anymore and if it wasn't for my statistics counter, I'd have thought nobody's reading my blog anymore! Those who read tag leh! Hehe.

K la, gonna sleep soon. TAG ok?!!!

my two new loves

2010-02-06T21:46:00.001+08:00

Hey guys, sorry have not blogged for so long again!! Been quite busy with school and projects and partying and drinking. Haha. Just a quick update.. I tendered my resignation!! Damn happy about it la.

Have been hating my job more and more everyday. The people who call in can be the most FUCKING unreasonable people ever lor. Seriously, I really admire those people who can stay in customer service for years. You all should know I don't even really have a temper and yet I can still feel like telling those idiots who call in and complain to fuck off and hang up on them! Its too much negative aura there, I don't like it.

Went for interview at Sisley and going for second interview soon. Yes, back to what I love ; beauty products. Hope the pay will be enough to sustain me!! Okok.. back to my 2 new loves.. Haha..

First one is FT Island!! Of coz a VERY VERY BIG part of why I love them is my yummilicious Lee Hong Ki!!! He's oh-so-freaking-cute! But after watching ALOT of vids of them I kinda like the rest too.. After all, they all have the pretty boy look that korean stars seem to have. 90% probably plastic but still cute! Lol.

And and and.. I heard FT Island is coming back again in March! I was so disappointed last week that I couldn't see them at all so this time I'm gonna save in advance to go to their concert! Hope it doesn't clash with the dates I'm going to India (for alifya's wedding!! more about that another time) and hope my departure dates coincides with theirs so that I can have Hong Ki all to myself in transit!! *dreaming*

Yes yes I'm still stuck in one of those childish fan girl worlds. Tsk. I also can't believe that I'm 25! =x

K la! Second thing is not as exciting now that I've blogged about FT Island. But.. I just did my first overseas online purchase!! Bought 10 items from Forever 21 for $137. HAPPY!!! But also broke. Thank God CNY is coming. Ang pows and gambling! Yay! Haha. Hope I don't get addicted to online shopping though. It takes the joy out of shopping and I will be broke without even leaving my house!

Ok, more updates soon.. Gonna get ready for butter now.. =)

New Year Resolutions with a Twist!

2010-01-14T00:41:00.005+08:00

Hah, I'm late in writing this entry which already broke one resolution; stop procrastinating! And just by writing this entry I'm breaking another resolution; to sleep early! Damn. Why am I even blogging this entry again? Lol.

ANYWAY. You know how people say that resolutions should not be done 'coz you usually just stick to it for the first quarter of the year, and if you really wanna make a resolution you can do so anytime?

Well, I like to do it at New Year 'coz if I fail, there's always some buffer time before I start trying again.. BUT! I will not fail this time 'coz I'm gonna make a whole list of resolutions with at least one I know I can keep!

*Deep breaths* Here goes..

1. I will quit smoking. In 6 months.

I have been trying to quit smoking since I started. Haha. And I've read up so much on quitting one thing I know is you have to do it slowly. So for starters, I'm gonna cut down.. Last year I quit for the first 10 days and then started again. This year I have been cutting down alot!! I only smoke one pack in like 3-4 days now. Partly 'coz there's no time to smoke during my 'new' job! Next month I'm gonna smoke one pack in 7 days, 2 weeks in March, 3 weeks in April and May.. And by June I would've quit!! *Fingers crossed* Anyway I already have a pact with my brother to pay him $10 for every stick I smoke in front of him.. Maybe I should open that offer to everyone? Lol. Don't you just wish?

2. I will sleep earlier.

This is one of my saddest resolutions. As much as I hate it, I AM getting old. I actually feel tired if I don't sleep for a day! *sigh* The horror. So, to ensure my health and skin does not get any worse, I will TRY to sleep before 1am everyday. *sobz* By the way everyday meaning Sun-Thurs. =D

3. I will go to the gym twice a week!

Once I actually make payment for my membership. =x I must go la if not so wasted lor!!

4. I will stop liking younger guys.

As alot of my friends have advised. I suddenly see the reasoning behind it. This is one resolution I am quite sure I can keep. Oh ya, Lee Hong Ki not counted ok! And all the other celebrities.. Hehe. =X God. I am so childish!!! Which brings me to..

5. I will act my age.

Also another resolution I am sad about. And this is one I really find hard to keep! Hahaha. But by acting my age I mean be more responsible and stop procrastinating.

Ok, I feel depressed already. Lol. Yup, thats it.. All I have to do is keep one resolution and I would have proved those people-who-say-resolutions-are-BS wrong!

1am. Time to sleep!! =D

P.S. I sooooo wanted to go Supperclub tonight!!! Free flow of Baileys, apple shots, lychee martinis and JAGERBOMBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Which other club gives free flow of Jagerbombs?!! None I tell you!! None!! =(

Ok, night! =)

hot!!!!!!!!!!! x3

2009-12-30T23:00:00.002+08:00

Ok, short post on why I haven't been blogging much..

3 reasons.

HOT.

That's Jang Geum Suk, Jung Yong Hwa and Lee Hong Ki and together they make up..

A.N.JELL!!!

It's actually a fictional boy band from the uber awesome korean show [You're Beautiful]! And the 4th member is actually a girl, which is what the show is all about. *sigh*

My personal favourite? Initially it was..

Lee Hong Ki from F.T.Island as the oh-so-cute and lovable JEREMY!!! He looks kinda Ah Beng also, so me right?!

But then Tae Kyung(JGS) is so typical bad boy but sweet.. ALSO the kind I like! And Shin Woo(JYH) is super super sweet in the show.. The kind you can never find in real life.. *sigh*

So I've decided that I want all 3!! Gonna save money then go Korea to stalk them! Haha.. I know I'm mad.

In the meantime, shall just stalk them online.

an-nyung~

i am not dead

2009-12-16T00:53:00.002+08:00

just in case you were wondering. =D

been very busy la! thailand, batam, work, school, exams, friends, club, ALOTTTT of friends.. hahaha. will update soon!

in the meantime, i'm hating myself for still not being able to, or rather not wanting to, get it.

DAMN.

time to REALLY change.

sometimes..

2009-11-14T05:48:00.002+08:00

you know how i love clubbing and won't give it up for anyone? you know how much i love my freedom now that i'm single? you know how much i enjoy being able to go out with anyone at anytime?

sometimes, just SOMETIMES, i wish there was someone who could make me give up clubbing. sometimes i wish there was someone who would be all possessive and quarrel with me. sometimes i wish there was just that one person i know i'll be spending the days with.

alcohol makes me emo. ccombine that with the christmas-sy weather and i just feel like cosying up to someone.

i just don't know who.

my very first dinner and dance!!

2009-11-10T23:54:00.007+08:00

Firstly, I think I can't keep up with the one tag one post thing coz I'm too lazy so two tags one post k! Be nice and tag more la. =D

Anyway, I realised that the HSBC Insurance D&D which I went for last week was really the first one I went to. Prudential one not really counted coz I had to pay for it myself, Nuance-Watson one was held at Shangri-la The Line in the afternoon so also not counted (though it was freaking awesome!) and I don't remember SaSa ever having a D&D. Probably coz I was a part-timer?

So, I was soooo excited about the first ever REAL D&D that I was going to! Somemore they had a theme! Masquerade! And they even provided masks for us!! How cool is that? This is what I totally love about working in a big company.

As usual, I planned to do alot of things to prepare for it but in the end I overslept and rushed through my preparations. Hehe. But it all turned out quite well la. Shall let the pictures do the talking.

Took a cab down with Jennie and this is the scene we were greeted with..

There was a section for us to take free photos and get them printed out poloriod style! And look closely.. You KC girls see anyone familiar?

Haha.. Was so surprised to see her there! SHE was the photog that day. And I heard she only got paid $50, not from my company but from the studio who hired her. But she looked cool la! Haha. And the door gifts were Robinsons vouchers!!!! There were $50, $80 and $100 in the form of lucky draw but we were late so only the $50 ones were left. Sad.

The surprising thing was, not many people wore the masks! I only wore it to take the picture and get into the feel. Haha.

The place was smaller than I expected, probably around 15 tables? I though it'd be like 25 or 30. Haha.

Raffles Hotel

I took a photo of the menu coz I was afraid I'd forget the dishes! And true enough I more or less forgot. I think I didn't take a few of the dishes as I was too busy eating. Haha.

Eight Harmony Treasures

Hmm. Looks like there are only 7 items on the plate leh. Lol.

Double Boiled Winter Melon Soup with Chicken and Mushrooms

No sharks fin! Boo! Haha. Probably coz my dear manager who's in the committee is against eating that.

I forgot to take photos of the prawns and only remembered to take the fish's bones. After that was broccoli with crabmeat gravy that I also forgot to take. Hee. Was too engrossed watching the stage activities which I also forgot to take. There was a lucky draw (only for permanent staff I'm contract!), games and also the best dressed award.

Slow Braised Eight Treasures Duck with Chestnuts

Whats with them and eight ah?! Is it some chinese thing I dunno about? Oh wait, wait, is it the eight is luck bullshit? Coz I know that SEVEN is the number which rocks. =D

Special Fragrant Fried Rice wrapped in Lotus Leaf

And then they started playing the music and I pulled everyone to go dance! Fun fun~ Music was retro.. Very not me. But still fun! Steph was so high on wine and started kissing all the girls one by one! Lol.

Angie was damn high as well. Haha. I drank red and white wine and beer so was DAMN red, but wasn't high. But by the time I reached by bro's chalet my head was hurting like a bitch and all I wanted to do was sleep. But then Eric they all came and I had to wake up and play poker. One of the few times I won. =D

K la more posts soon, its waaaaaaaaaay past my new bedtime.

happy sleepy crazy busy

2009-11-04T05:27:00.002+08:00

i have to blog two posts again! i think i should change the tag thing to 2 tags=1 post.. lolz. say until as if i got alot of tags like that.. keke we shall see how in the coming weeks.

i'm so sleepy la but i refuse to sleep coz i'm on LEAVE tml!!! i mean today.. hehe. so happy~ took leave coz i had to rush to do my project.. finally kinda finished it. one burden off my hands! and meeting the girls to chill and gossip tml. miss them so much la! been so busy that i haven't seen them for quite sometime.. but then again, they also always busy with their bfs la ah. =x

just a quick update on my life.. BUSY. yup that about sums it up. haha. with work, school, clubbing, night safari (will blog abt that soon), meeting lotsa friends, gaming, drinking.. haha. the list is neverending la. i'm so super contented with my life now.

all i need is a bf. haha. no la, just feel like i'm so old already coz my friends are always talking about marriage i feel like i'm gonna be a spinster! lolz. plus i feel left out when they go out in couples. =( anyway, i guess it will comes when it comes la. dun have much time to worry abt it also. hehe.

time to go watch the latest episode of [gossip girl]! =D

And the results are..

2009-10-27T23:25:00.002+08:00

..aching legs, lack of sleep, tanner(!!!) skin and did I mention ACHING legs?! But I guess thats not the results you're interested in seeing..

Honestly, my timing sucks so bad that I should be ashamed to even put the results up but who cares? I definately don't!

I just think its cool that a piece of orange paper recorded my run timing!

What? At least I wasn't last! (Though I can't be sure how many people exactly there were, I know there were DEFINATELY people behind me!) =D

one of the most tiring days of my life

2009-10-27T00:13:00.005+08:00

I shall keep my promise and blog for every comment I get.. But I'm so freaking tired! And I still have to blog TWO posts?! Owe you all one la ah! Hee.

Anyway, I MADE IT for the Nike Run!! So freaking proud of myself man! Slept for one hour and went.

The sea of red that greeted me when I reached there. So amazing la. Apparently 10000 people went according to Nike website, but I dunno if they meant the whole world or only Singapore coz although its a lot of red, it doesn't look like 10000 to me! (Ok, I just checked.. It was really 10000 JUST in Singapore! Cool!!)

Massage tents? I'm not very sure if people had to pay for this; I thought it was free but if it were then there'd be a fucking long queue and there wasn't, even after the run. Maybe its just some muscle relief thing only for injured people. (Checked. It WAS free massages! Damn.)

Free fruits and drinks! I was telling Jace she should just do her fav past time there. Just stand there and get free flow! LOL. Only 100 plus and water though.. But NEVER in my life have I loved 100 plus so much!!!

That small little orange paper thingy actually tells me my running time!! Cool or what?! I was just so amazed by everything..

Looking happy and excited but actually feeling crappy coz I slept so little and full coz I drank two glasses of milk thinking it would give me energy, only to realise it just makes me full. -.-

And the race starts! After 600m, I told Jace I wanna turn back and go home. LOL! Started to feel cramps and all.. After 2km, started to walk. And from there onwards, it was mostly walking.. Till we see our motivation!!!

DRINKS! Then we started running like dogs who haven't drank for ages! Other than that we just talked and laughed and did silly things like..

..Try to knock down all cups with one cup! LOL. Silly but fun.

My fav number!! I felt quite idiotic standing there taking pictures while everyone else was running in my direction, hence the non pose. But after that we saw two other girls taking photos as well so didn't feel like we were the only ones who could camwhore anywhere and everywhere!

Yay 9km! I loved reading the words on the board. All so inspiring and cute! Unlike the scary volunteers who kept screaming at us to 'jia you' and 'hurry up'.. They were intimidating! I purposely started walking whenever I was going to reach them so that I'd have the energy to run when they scream at me. =x If I was really shagged I might've punched them, or say what another girl said to them sarcastically," You come and join us run la!" But then again, most of them were nice and friendly.

Finally!! By that time my legs felt like jelly and I REALLY thought I was gonna sprain my ankle. Haha. When we reached the finish line they gave us a can of 100 plus (I think I drank at least one litre of 100 plus that day!) and a Nike Finisher wrist band, nothing fancy la. There was a concert but it was almost over by the time we finished. Lol. I just found my results online but will blog about that tomorrow..

We did it!! =D

RUN!

2009-10-24T04:05:00.003+08:00

Ok, I decided to blog 2 posts at one go.. AND Jace is gonna kill me coz I officially have to wake up in like an hour's time for the Nike Run! YES I'm going for the NIKE TEN KM run. (Or maybe not, if I wake up and it's over.)

Jace tricked me into going! She said everyone's going and apparently everyone is Gary, her sis and her. Sigh. But anyway, it'll be an experience! Plus I paid for it already, so ya, anyone who sees this in one hour please call me! If nobody calls me it won't be my fault if I miss it. =x

I'm so tired la! Now its the same old question. Should I sleep or stay up? I might faint during the run if I stay up though.. And I'm super shagged! So, I guess..

goodnight.

my fav number ; my fav club!

2009-10-24T02:20:00.008+08:00

SE7EN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is part of the reason I've been so busy.. Found a great new club thanks to Kelly!! Get ready for the photos..

The Place

One section is the games. Apparently they have the longest dart wall line up in Singapore.. It's fun!! They have THREE pool tables as well.

The dance floor! What I love about it? Platform right in the centre!! ;P

The Drinks

Chivas at $138!!! Heaven! Can't beat Rebel la but I have free entry here!! Got a membership card on the first night.. =D Last I heard MAC CALLEN is $138 as well!! Can't wait for later.. Hehe. Yes I'm going later!

The People

Met old friends, new friends and long lost friends there.. FUN FUN FUNNNN!!

The Infamous Scallop Congee

He brought me there, I brought her along, she told the whole world about it! So ya la, Eric is the one who got everyone hooked onto the yummilicious scallop congee at 126! Cheap and good and not sinful!

These are just some pictures of the 2 out of many many nights that I went to se7en.. Sadly, I heard that they gonna change the concept to live band. BOOOOOOOOOO~ So I'm gonna club there every week till that happens!

Cya at se7en!

P.S. They really should pay me for advertising for them man!

2009-10-19T02:32:00.002+08:00

xoxo

you know you love me

life is gooooooooooood!!!!!!!!!

2009-09-14T01:34:00.007+08:00

I'm totally loving my life now! Haha coz I found a great club!!! Wanted to blog a long post about that but its my bedtime so will save it for another time.. Today my post is just gonna be about the GREAT dinner I had at Long Beach with my colleagues. It's abit overdue so will keep it short and simple.

The reason for the dinner was coz the team actually hit last month's target so my boss treated! And I was actually very lucky to be included since I wasn't there last month.. Have to thank my manager for all the photos coz now I'm using a sucky phone which has a spoilt camera and she actually helped me to take the pictures.

First up we had this garlic squid appetiser which was so good coz I was hungry and it was GARLIC! Didn't take a picture of that coz it didn't occur to me to blog about the dinner till I saw..

...the lobster appetiser!!!

Oh it was in small servings but you know how they say good things come in small packages? SO TRUE. I'm crazy about lobsters so I was drooling the minute I saw it. Somemore had to like keep my cool coz all new colleagues but inside I was jumping for joy la.. I never ate anything like that before, not even at weddings.

The end result

Next we had this..

... which i initially thought was shark's fin but it turned out to be curry(?) prawns which I'm sure chilli lovers would, well, love but I don't eat chilli so just ate the prawns.

Then there was fish..

And after that we had chilli crab with mantou and noodles and duck which were good but nothing spectacular so didn't take photos.

By the time dessert came, all of us were so full but the dessert looked so special I couldn't resist it!

It was some sort of coffee pudding with dry ice underneath. Very light so we didn't feel jelak after eating it.

And that about sums up what was one of the best meals in my 24 years. Hahaha. Mainly coz of the lobster dish. *sigh*

I'm gonna sleep now. Hope I dream of it! =D

P.S. My birthday is in 11 days!!!!

mich : the new and revised edition

2009-09-02T00:26:00.002+08:00

yes yes i'm finally back! i'm sorry been lazy and REALLY busy this time around. ok, just short updates coz i'm normal now and got work early tml!!

i quit prudential.

coz i don't think i have enough discipline to be a successful financial planner. i need a stable job that isn't too flexible. and of coz i looked for an office hour job to suit my school timing and, in jace's words, 'my other friends timings'. oh ya speaking of school..

i started sch at psb academy!

luckily my friend also happened to be in the same class as me so i don't have to worry about having no friends. haha. not that i was worried la. =x anyway, first lesson was boring and freaking easy! it was like ratio and fractions la! primary sch maths can! wasting my time. lolz. k la its prob just a refresher lesson. wait the next few lessons all damn hard then i'll just be kicking myself..

i got a normal day job!!!

this is like the BIGGEST change in my life la. first time ever having a full time office job.. nowadays i wake up at 7am on weekdays and sleep before 1.30am the night before!!! i don't club on wed anymore and i probably only can drink once a week! hahaha. crazy right?! my life is so sad and boring now!! hahaha. thats what i've been telling people. but thinking about it, my life is just boring la. definitely not sad. ~~unless you count the fact that i'm probably gonna make the same mistake again.~~

oh ya! i watched [final destination 4] 3d just now and was reminded why i don't like watching 3d shows. coz the specs are annoying and you can't really see the colours on the screen clearly! anyway, things i learned from the show; don't go car wash, don't go swimming, don't use escalators, don't cross roads.. basically don't do anything la! wow. that so fits into my boring life now..

its 1am and its my bedtime. =(

pet society is getting addictive!!!

2009-07-25T06:30:00.002+08:00

First, they introduced planting to the game and i got addicted to it again.. Now, they actually have fishing!!! And i'm hooked!!! Hahaha..

For those people who were confused at first like me, it's actually really easy.

1. Go to the pond in the centre of the village.
2. Choose your bait. It's really funny 'coz the fishes in Pet Society eat ANYTHING from ice cream sundaes to milk to bones(I caught a puppyfish with my bone!).
3. Click your pet once to cast the rod.
4. Once the fish bites, click and hold your pet to reel in the fish.
5. If the fish struggles(there will be ripples in the water), let go and click again after it stops struggling if not it will escape with your bait!

Ok, my friends must now be thinking why I am blogging about this in the morning instead of sleeping. I just went to Pet Society to check out my plants for awhile then realised they have this fishing thingy.. And it took me like quite awhile and alot of baits to finally get the hang of it so I thought I should just teach the other people who wanna play la!

Plus.. I'm trying to occupy myself as much as possible so that I won't have to think of things I don't wanna think about?

And.. I wanted to do a small blog post ma!

So.. I'm gonna go sleep now. Will update soon! =)

everyone wishes for some MAGIC now and then

2009-07-18T05:46:00.006+08:00

DAMMIT!!! I should have waited just one day before buying my Samsung Omnia.. Coz I went to the Nuffnang website the next day and saw that they have this blogging competition about HTC Magic, the new hp from HTC. Curious, I went to check it out and it looks soooo good!! I guess now I just have to try winning it instead..

The very first hp I ever had was the very common Nokia 3210. It looked like this..

BORING and bulky! To be fair to it, it was one of the first generation phones so obviously it looked ugly. Plus I changed my casing to pink!!! So it did look a little nicer than the above picture.

This is HTC Magic.

Sleek and sexy!!! *drools* I want!!! Available in white and black.

3210 had speed dial. Which was of totally no use to me. I never ever used that function in ANY phone before. If you call someone so often that they have to be on speed dial, you'd remember the number of that person right?? Maybe I just have good memory. Heh.

Magic on the other hand, has Smart Dialer. Smart Dialer lets you call people in whatever way you think, by either dialing their phone number or by dialing the first few letters of their name. Perfect. No more scrolling through your phone book anymore!

The only entertainment I got from my dear old 3210 was the game Snake. I loved Snake but once the snake reached its maximum length and the high score was reached, I had ZERO entertainment.

With Magic you can surf the web with 3.5G network connection and Wi-Fi technology(they have the multiple windows function!), take photos with its 3.2megapixel camera, listen to mp3s and watch videos!

And the best thing of all is.. It's powered by Android!! Ok, I know most of you have never heard about it before but soon everyone's gonna be talking about it so let me tell u abit more so that you won't be the only suaku one..

Android is a mobile operating system developed by Google(only the most used search engine ever!) so naturally, it provides common Google services such as mail and search. Other than that, the home screen is fully customizable and lets you put music, widgets and applications. Speaking of which, they have this thing called Android Market where you can discover and install applications and games from their ever-growing selection.

One application I really really like is the Google Latitude, which allows you to keep track of the physical locations of your contacts!!! How cool is that! I can stalk people all day!!!! And for those who are attached, now you don't ever have to hear another lie from your partner about where they are!! Just awesome.

I tried to finish the Bintan post but my updates kept disappearing!! So i got fed up and decided to use my bro's laptop instead of my old laggy comp to blog but then I realised I could upload photos with my time instead so the Bintan post is yet again pushed back.. Hehe.

Nonetheless, I realised I haven't been updating much so here's a short update..

A few months ago, my friends were talking about this 'anymore' place at Geylang and me being me, thought it was a nightclub. Turned out it's actually their term for the illegal gambling tables there which I've actually heard of before la but never went to check it out before coz I sometimes lose my head when gambling..

Anyway, I WENT TODAY! Haha. I thought it would be like tended by ah bengs and abit like the underground gambling dens in movies kind but its actually just a table with a 'da/siao' plastic mat thingy on it. Ok, I'm so bad at describing la. I actually wanted to take a picture to blog about it but my friend said wait the guy whack me all.. LOL. Somemore they are not ah bengs can! They are like Indians/Thais/mostly foreigners la..

So I played(minimum bet $10).. And won $100!!! But I spent $35 on fags and supper then human nature took over and I wanted to win more so went back there and lost the remaining $60! LOL. Wanted to continue but luckily my friend talked me into going home..

Actually the first time I played and was on a winning streak I suddenly thought, "What if those guys suspect I got supernatural powers? Like the guy in [Push] or Hiro Nakamura?" Lol. Then when I was walking away after winning I was so scared they whack me la!

I asked my friend how they earn money like that and he said people would always keep going back. Which is true la. You win, you wanna win more. You lose, you wanna win it all back. *Sigh* Humans.

Definately must have self control the next time I go back. =x

words speak softer than actions

2009-06-10T02:06:00.002+08:00

you know how i hate people who are overly emo and self-pitiful, esp whenthe things they are emo over is their own fault? i think i'm becoming like that! the emo part la, not the self-pity part. i dun feel sorry for myself at all, juz alot of frustration and disappointment.

i dun wanna blog much about the issue coz i dun really like blogging about personal stuff but i'm just so annoyed at myself!!!! arghhhh. i need to meet my girls for a bitching/whining session soon!!

okok, i must keep in mind what eric told me; i'm lucky. if not i will forget to be grateful for all the things i have. anyway, in other news.. I'M FINALLY GOING TO STUDY!! there. i said it. so now i can't back out can i? still deciding on which school but most prob kaplan i guess. i feel like i'm making alot of impulsive decisions these few days but i guess this is a good one right?

k la will update soon.. bintan post soon coz mostly voted yes.. haha. good night world.

as promised in fb

2009-05-26T07:07:00.004+08:00

That's facebook for the benefit of people like Cammie and KJ.. LOL. Ok, anyway, I said on fb that if I couldn't sleep I'd blog a long long post so here I am.. Think I've been neglecting you guys actually.

But before I start PLEASE PLEASE help me vote on whether I should complete my post on the Bintan trip anot.. Even if you don't care just anyhow vote 'coz I took ages to put the damn poll up on my blog! It's below this post so help me decide k! Thanks. =)

Anyway, I think part of the reason I couldn't sleep was 'coz my stomach was making so much noise!! So I just ate an apple pie that I grabbed from Mac after chilling with my friend just now and now I'm so contented! Ok, I know thats totally redundant and boring stuff to blog about but I did promise a LONG post so have to talk nonsense abit right? Lolz.

K la actually just wanted to show you all HOW MUCH I ATE on Sat!!!

You see those plates of beef? I probably ate around 8-10 of that plus some lamb and pork among other things!! LOL. I was so sure that I'd put on 2kg the next day but I didn't!! I realised why when I read CLEO yesterday.. 'Coz beef is protein and it increases your metobolic rate!! Woohoo~ But of 'coz too much will still gain weight in the long run la. I think. Don't really wanna try. Aiya, actually the picture doesn't really reveal the true amount of food we ate.. 'Coz it's kinda small but I lazy to go upload again in a bigger format..

Oh ya.. People who went were Jace and Gary, Jas and Minghui, Shiwan and Zhiwei, Angele and me. See the connection? Yes, 3 couples plus Angele and me!! Lucky she came lor if not I think I wouldn't even have gone! Hai. More on that later/another time.

Gluttons!

After that we went to the $10 club ktv at Chinatown. Yup, the name is really $10 club! Lol. But it was good la! $10 for 3 hours, free flow drinks PLUS one bowl of sharksfin!! Of coz it's those cheapskate pasar malam fake kind la but still.. Worth it lor! Some more the sound system not bad..

This pic was taken in the dark ktv with Zhiwei's ISO camera. I still dunno what ISO is but I'm guessing it means MAGIC!! Power la. The ktv was so damn dark, the camera didn't have any flash, and look at the image it captured! So bright and clear! I'm still kinda amazed. But apparently they say it costs alot alot of money, so ya.. I guess its meant to do that. Haha.

I'm so hooked to this new song that my meanie friend Yuanda intro-ed.. It's called [Xia Yu Tian] by Lara. But nobody sang it that day probably 'coz its too new or like Eric said, it's too hard to sing.. Got another song [Huai Ren] by Ah Bin also very nice! But also nobody sing. Lol.

So after KTV the rest kinda wanted to go home but me being me, wanted to go anywhere but home 'coz it was only 1am!! On a SAT NIGHT!!! So they suggested going to Club St to check out this atas bar but it was closed so we walked further down and found another atas bar called Savanh Bar. We were contemplating whether to go in anot when the friendly boss(?) told us there were 1-for-1 beers and that was all my alcoholic friends needed to hear to make the decision. LOL. I swear I so did not wanna drink la. 'Coz last Thurs I went BQ and drank 2 barrels with 3 other people and that was enough to make me not wanna drink for at least a week or two. Some more its beer leh!!! If its Martell it'd probably be a different story la.. Did I mention how much I miss Martell?? *sigh* Anyway, I digress..

So we went in and the decor was awesome!!! Found out that the place is actually a part of the IndoChine group. Nice music(they played R&B), nice ambience, cosy layout AND the toilets were so classy!! I got up to go to the toilet and when I saw it I immediately headed back to go borrow a camera to take a picture of it! LOL. Then all the girls followed me back to the toilet to check it out. Damn funny la..

This is where we were seated. It's actually on a platform and its more cosy than it looks. You all should go check it out yourselves to see what I mean.

Cam-whoring at the entrance of the toilet. People who saw us probably thought we were crazy or drunk.

The nice nice toilets! But these photos really don't do justice to the actual thing so go visit and see!!! Best thing is they absorb the service charge and GST!! It was $13 for a pint of Heineken but we thought plus plus will come up to $15+ but it was nett! So counting the 1-for-1 in, each of us only paid like $6.50 for a pint which is dirt cheap by Singapore standards la!! Ok, they should so pay me for the amount of advertising I'm doing for them.. LOL.

Actually got some more pictures but my friends haven't posted them on fb yet so I don't think I will post it la.. I tried searching the web for nicer photos but like their webby pix also not very nice.

Ok, that's it for Sat's post! Wanted to blog a little bit more but I think I shall leave that for the next time. ;)

HELP ME DECIDE!!!

2009-05-26T06:23:00.002+08:00

I took 45 mins just learning how to get the damn poll in my post and it still looks abit off but i don't care anymore la!! Just help me vote! LOL.

time for a change?

2009-05-12T22:27:00.003+08:00

-I'm finally out of that big evil hole of darkness!!! But you know whats the most ironic part? No, I didn't get alcohol poisoning (though that would really have been ironic).. But Zi Chao asked me to go work at 12th Element (the new Bottoms Up)!!! Its like whenever I quit one pub then another pub comes along.. LOL. But this time I was quite firm to stick to my decision of not working at another pub ever again. Though I have to admit I was kinda tempted.

And then, the next day I actually went to church after not going for one month plus!! So quite happy la.. Really trying to make changes for the better which includes quitting smoking, minimising drinking, working harder, eating healthily and exercising regularly!!! Haha. That was quite a mouthful. I guess that would be anyone's perfect lifestyle?

But I didn't really think much of the healthy parts of those changes till yesterday when I felt pain in my chest. Which I have felt a few times before but not so often in one day! So i started to feel scared and didn't really dare to sleep 'coz you know.. They say that most of the time you will die if you get a heart attack when you sleep. Heh.

So I went to CGH just now and waited 2 freaking hours to see the doctor, who looked like he just graduated from uni and knows shit about medicine. Firstly, during the whole 10mins I was in his room, 4 people walked in to talked to him and he walked out once. Secondly, he was really talkative and trying to be funny-lame which would be sorta endearing IF he actually knew his stuff and not just doing it to cover up for his imcompetency. Thirdly, he just said I probably just have muscle pull and nothing else. Then he said but it's only 99% confirm. But thats not the bad part yet! I felt that it was a total waste of time and money so i decided to make it worth it and asked him to prescribe me some Duramine. AND YOU KNOW WHAT?? He was like er ah uh.. Then he asked me why i wanted SLEEPING PILLS. And the most laughable part was that he had 2 computers and he actually went to Google on the one that had internet access!!! But before he could google it, I told him it's an appetite suppressant and he said they don't prescribe that in CGH but i bet he probably doesn't really know! *sigh* If something happens to me please ask my parents to sue the doctor!!!

So I'm going for a full body check up in 2 weeks time just to make sure there's really nothing wrong with me. Then it's also time for all those changes.. I didn't smoke today!!! Haha. Sometimes i feel that it is hard to just live life decently and the right way but then again, I still think that there are little things that make it all worth it.. =D

the same old problem!!

2009-04-29T05:32:00.003+08:00

I. CAN'T. SLEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! argh. juz when i decided i really wanna work hard, this new bout of insomnia hits me. sumtimes i really think that i juz think too much.

now i dunno whether i should sleep and risk waking up late or not sleep and risk being tired.. and i have 4 appts tml!!!!!!!!

i actually wanted to continue the bintan post but my bro's lappy no mouse so very hard to organise the photos.. and do u all think i should still do it? after all its been so long already.. but if i dun do also like abit waste of efforts coz i did halfway liao. or at least 1/4! =P

dunno dunno dunno.. how?! i think this is the most informal and not nice post that i've ever blogged. almost impossible to understand. lolz.

7 reasons to stop getting drunk

2009-04-26T01:18:00.002+08:00

7. It hurts you internally.

Liver failure anyone?

6. It hurts you externally.

Everytime I'm drunk I will end up with bruises the next day and not know how I got it. Today wasn't any different. I was removing my make-up in the morning and suddenly realised there was a blue black on my nose bridge and above my right eye. I vaguely remember falling down but don't remember where. Just glad I didn't break my nose.

5. It makes you fat.

Work at bottoms up, put on 5kg. I quit, LOST 5kg. Work at shebang, put on 5kg. Anyone else see a pattern here? Alcohol is proven to assist weight gain. All the calories!

4. It makes you lose control.

I could actually go on and on about this point but lets just say i don't like crying for nothing. Maybe it wasn't nothing but then that would mean I was being emo which I hate even more.

3. It makes you do embarrassing things.

Drunk sms-es aren't exactly something to be proud of, among other things.

2. It burdens the people around you.

Who likes taking care of a drunk person? I know it's hard thats why I appreciate the people who still do it.

1. It's a Sat night and I'm home!

Coz I'm too shagged from being drunk last night plus not having enough sleep!! This is enough reason to quit man.. I dunno when's the last time I was home on Sat night. *sigh*

a shopaholic post AGAIN!

2009-03-18T04:49:00.004+08:00

I know I already raved about the [Confessions of a Shopaholic] movie coming out, but Nuffnang is giving free tix to the movie preview so here goes..

I know my friend is a shopaholic because she can walk for hours looking for bargain buys in the hottest climates(Jas), she splurges on clothes and bags from branded labels(Cammie), she loves to online shop(Angele), she goes crazy whenever there's a sale(more or less every one of us), she buys things on impulse, has tons of clothes accumulated over the years that she hasn't even worn yet and will spend her last dollar on shopping not caring about tomorrow's expenses(me, me and me!). Haha.

Here's proof of how we went mad shopping in Thailand..

Reasons that we're such shopaholics? Do girls seriously need reasons to shop? But still, let me name a few.. Retail therapy is the best kind of therapy! Shopping makes me feel happier even if I'm sad. Shopping helps people to lose weight.. All that walking endlessly and sometimes forgetting to eat. Shopping contributes to our economy! And we all want our economy to strengthen don't we? =)

I've really been dying to catch the show since I found the trailer last year, so.. Catch Confessions of a Shopaholic on 26 March!

HOT HOT HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2009-03-16T09:20:00.004+08:00

I CANNOT STAND HOW DAMN CUTE HE IS!!!!! *sigh* asian guys will always be the cutest to me.. esp with hair like that!!! how not to like?!!! i haven't slept coz i've been watching [boys before flowers] non-stop.. its the korean version of [meteor garden] but everyone looks better here!!! except maybe the one who replaced vanness coz vanness has great hair too!

sigh~

i can just stare at him all day.

old flame

2009-03-10T03:24:00.002+08:00

Due to overwhelming requests for me to blog more, here i am!! And the topic for today is.. the past.

I went out with my ex just now. The very first one. They always say that the first one is the one you love the most, but I think for both of us it was just a playful crush kinda thing? But then again, out of all my relationships I loved the girl the most so I think there has to be something very very wrong with me..

Anyway, meeting him actually reminded me of the days when I was young and silly and innocent and carefree.. I was only 16 then and didn't really know what love meant. (I'm not sure if I do now anot but hopefully I do la.) Every little sweet thing would make me incredibly happy and every little wrong thing would make me super upset. Every little hug, kiss or 'i miss you' would mean the world to me.

Now, I never know what to believe anymore. After years of meeting jerks and shedding tears over them, I've learnt to be more wary when it comes to love. Hugs and kisses might mean nothing to someone who does them to many girls. 'i miss you' and 'i love you' are just words said without any meaning. Every step has to be taken with caution and I always have to try to remember not to let my heart's guard down.

Why do I say try? Coz this is just the mildly cynical side of me speaking. Coz deep down I am still just the silly 16 year old girl that I was. Coz I really do believe that one day I will meet the one who hugs me coz he really does miss me and kiss me coz he only loves me.

I'm still waiting for my fairytale ending. ;)

p.s I finally found him on fb!!!! But i can't add him coz it would seem stalker-ish (which i am) but this is my soulmate we're talking about!! Those who know me well should know who.

i'm back!!

2009-03-09T06:14:00.002+08:00

2009-02-01T09:00:00.003+08:00

2008-12-18T03:33:00.002+08:00

ok, don't kill me for not blogging about the bintan trip yet(it's in the midst) but i just had to rave on and on and on about how AWESOME [twilight] is. its been my LIFE dream to be a vampire can?!!!

i just watched the show and the modern day vampires are just so cool now! they are fairer than ever, don't melt in the sun(instead they get shimmery pearl-like skin), can jump really high, move super fast.. and if all that can't convince you to just adore them, check out the way they play baseball.

mind-blowing.

go watch go watch!!! it looks hundred times better in the cinema! i'm gonna watch the show again lor! i can't stand how cool it is la!!

n the worst thing is, i can nv be one of them. =(

disturbia

2008-11-11T18:40:00.002+08:00

i think i'm falling into a big evil hole of darkness called shebang. it's been such a long time since i cried while drunk and yest the reason was totally stupid! hai. i can't wait to quit before i get sucked in again. i keep telling myself to be more motivated and focused in my day job but everyday i just procrastinate!

i wanna change my life but all i can do is sit behind the computer and bitch. i hate working there but i'm scared i secretly like it. like i've told my friends, my life became more happening again after working at a pub, but i dunno if its more in a good way or bad way. suddenly everything just seems so uncertain. hopefully its just the emo kicking in for awhile.

p.s bintan post up soon!

SHOPAHOLIC IS COMING TO THE BIG SCREENS!!

2008-11-10T18:44:00.003+08:00

Some of you may know her as Becky Bloomwood, from the popular [Shopaholic] series by Sophie Kinsella. Those books are like my favourite books in my whole life!! Becky's character is so likeable and funny and I feel that I can really relate to her. I was so crazy about her after reading [Shopaholic and Baby] that I went online to search for news on the next book and found something way better!! THE MOVIE!!!! I had goosebumps while watching the trailer. Watch it watch it watch it!!!!

It's coming out in Feb next year!! I can't wait! So excited!!!! Lol. Somemore they chose one of my favourite actresses to play Becky! But there were afew gripes on the casting of Luke Brandon; Hugh Dancy is playing him but people think that he's too boyish and cute and that Christian Bale is more suitable for the role. My personal opinion is that Christian Bale is too serious looking, they need someone manly yet looks like he has a sense of humour. And they kinda messed up the book abit by setting it in New York straightaway instead of UK. But whatever! I just wanna watch the show!!!!

where should i start?

2008-10-22T09:56:00.003+08:00

this year has been so sucky for me!!! i haven't been blogging coz i have been tired out with work!! and of coz all my friends. heh. but ya, i mentioned i was working at shebang? only planning to work there for half a year. just on weekends. i wanna concentrate on my day job but i have no choice coz i need the money!

which is why i think i'm damn suay this year. but a couple of weeks ago, i was in the cab thinking how suay i was when i realised most of the problems are partially my own fault. *sigh* i mean if i were luckier all the rubbish wouldn't have happened but still i had a choice. and then, on that VERY day itself, i lost my laptop coz i was rushing to my clients house and left it in the cab!!! really feel like killing myself la. must stop being so disorganised already!

my birthday pics all inside.. sobz.. i actually felt so tired of everything that i didn't wana blog anymore but i guess its an outlet to release my emotions.. ever since i worked at shebang i keep meeting bastards!! ok la, maybe it should be singular, but ya.. really sick of the pub life la. everytime see the same thing. and almost everytime end up seh. it gets so tiring.

the past few weeks i think i've been not as happy as usual and easily irritated/emotional. god, i really hate being emo. damn annoyed with myself la!!

ok, just wanted to update u guys. next blog post will be a happy one. if not i'm not gonna blog till i have something happy to blog about. please please let next year be a better year!!!

oh ya! i'm going bintan in nov!! with the babes. can't wait la. think i really need it..

can you remember your graduation day?

2008-10-16T04:03:00.006+08:00

Nuffnang is having a competition and the winners get to attend the gala premiere of [High School Musical 3: Senior Year]!! More about that after I watch it, but for now, lets do a recap on my 'high school' graduation..

KC graduation actually kinda sucked. While other schools get nice prom dinners, we had graduation TEA! Like damn budget la. And the atmosphere was totally ruined coz it was like in the middle of the day. Our school made this rule where EVERYONE had to wear a dress or skirt if not you wouldn't be allowed into the ballroom.

So even some of the butches wore dresses and surprised us with how pretty they could look if they wanted to. But of course there were the rebellious ones like *ahem* Cammie, ShiWan and Winnie who wore pants and were not allowed in. LOL.

Maybe it was coz I watched too many movies and expected it to be like bonding and dancing and everyone promising to keep in touch and be friends for life, so I was kinda disappointed that it was just our classes performing and I think the teachers performed too. (Can't really remember la, 7 years ago leh! Old liao.)

And during that time, Vitamin C's [Graduation] was quite popular. (I can still remember her name! Memory not bad ah.) Everytime I heard it on radio I would get very emo and dread the day we all part, but on the graduation day when they played that song (just as i expected) I totally had no feelings lor! I thought I would cry buckets of tears but I didn't. Guess the mood was just not there. Sad la my graduation.

So, if your graduation sucked too, or even if it didn't, relive your youthful days and..

Catch Walt Disney Pictures' High School Musical 3: Senior Year in cinemas from October 24!

mamma mia!

2008-10-03T02:07:00.005+08:00

i could give you like a hundred reasons why i love watching movies, but since i think that would bore you, here's one; the right show improves my mood drastically.

yest i watched [eagle eye] with my bro. i've been dying to watch that show and it really doesn't disappoint! plus my bro is great company, he never fails to make me laugh. i think i'd be super lonely if i was an only child.

but this post is not about [eagle eye] or my bro so i shan't digress. i met juf and gary to watch [mamma mia!] just now. it was another show that i kinda wanted to watch for quite some time already.

well, at first it was kinda disturbing to watch meryl streep and her 2 old friends jump around like teenagers, but after awhile it started to get heartwarming seeing them bond over annoyingly addictive retro songs. surprisingly the music made me feel like dancing! not the [step up] or [make it happen] kind but more of just jumping around and having fun kind. i think i might just try mambo one day.

and i loved that they showed the mother and daughter's friendship and closeness with their respective cliques as well as with each other. made me think of my babes. love you guys! we'll be happening mothers next time ya?

plus, amanda seyfried's voice is damn damn nice la!! abba songs are gonna be the next ktv craze!! for me, at least. and i bet jas will get a kick out of singing them too. maybe in rooms instead of pubs la. pub atmosphere too cheena.

i was actually feeling upset this week coz of some insanely stupid thing but how not to feel happy after watching this kinda cheery show? lolz. i can't believe this but i actually can't wait to work tml. at shebang i mean. haha. for those who don't know, now you know. i'm working there part time. have been since 2 weeks back.

keke. birthday pix up soon. hmm. i should really go set up a movie blog.

p.s. it should be called [papa M.I.A.] instead right? if you don't get it, either you dunno what the show's about or you're slow.

p.p.s. omg! i just realised i watched 4 movies 4 days in a row! =X

argh.

2008-09-27T21:06:00.002+08:00

i officially hate myself. like ALOT. god, seriously, why can't i just learn from my mistakes instead of making the same mistake twice?!!! i should know very well the evils of alcohol by now then i won't be bumming at home pitying myself.

now that i think about it, i really should have known better. the signs; all the same, except this time i only have myself to blame. (it rhymes!lolz) well, what better way to take my mind off things other then MAHJONG! haha. gonna play in awhile.

updates soon.

TOTALLY RANDOM stuff

2008-09-05T01:15:00.004+08:00

First, check out this youtube/myspace singer called Lisa Lavie.

I usually don't like to embed videos unless there are ah bengs or techno involved but this girl is GOOOOD! Nice vocals, nice lyrics and nice tune! If you're very free can go youtube and watch her sing a cover of 'No One'. Nice!

Next, lately I've been feeling nostalgic. I miss being young and happy and carefree without stress. Some might say that I'm still stress free now but I finally have an inkling of what STRESSED means thanks to my job.

Anyway, that wasn't my point la. My point is, I will never be able to be with the person I loved the most. I know it didn't seem like that was my point but now I'm telling you it is. I know I'm being random hence the title. It's so sad just thinking of the past la. I'll never understand why certain things are the way they are. I'm starting to question myself..

I think only a handful of you will understand what I'm talking about so lets keep it that way for the time being.

Lastly, I was reading CLEO and they had an article on '30 Things To Do Before You Turn 30'. Let's see what I've done..

1. Channel a classic movie - throw a drink in a man's face.

Never done before unless you count spitting at my brother by accident. Interesting, will keep it in mind.

2. Delete the words "random" and "totally" from your vocab.

Oops. What's the title of this entry again? Anyway, I have like, 7 years, to do it so no sweat.

3. Divorce toxic friends.

DONE.

4. Learn how to successfully change a car tyre.

I don't even know how to drive yet I learn for what?! Of coz once I get my license I will learn it..

5. Break someone's heart; have your own heart broken.

I dunno what's the logic behind this but done and done.

6. Have a killer joke (you tell perfectly) ready to use for one of those awkward moments.

*Awkward silence* Why did the chicken cross the playground? *pause* To get to the other slide! *Even more awkward silence* Fine, I'll go do more research.

7. Use an alias for a day.

Can consider done. Last time in secondary school everybody had aliases. Mine was Jennifer and Yvonne coz I liked those 2 names. I still like the name Jennifer! =)

8. Dine unaccompanied in a nice restaurant.

I never understood how people could watch movie/club/eat in a restaurant alone so this will be hard to do.

9. Spend a whole pay packet on a pair of shoes.

Trust me. I'd love to! (I just hope Jace is not reading this if not wait she get more depressed.)

10. Break up with a man whom you know is bad for you; similarly, have a fling with a guy whom you know is bad for you!

My boyfriends have never been bad for me (At least, thats what I think!) but most of the flings definately were bad for me..

11. Travel somewhere by youself, be it a foreign country or just a weekend road trip.

Sounds enticing but totally out of the question unless I conquer my fear of ghosts. I'm a scaredy-cat! =x

12. Try something you always said you'd never do - like skydiving or eating escargot.

Well, I did go and get myself tanned didn't I? Lasted a whole freaking year too! In fact the tan lines can still faintly be seen! Argh. Never again. Escargots are YUMMY by the way.

13. Find out which friends you can and can't trust, and learn not to take it the hard way.

This year I found out who I can't trust. Twice. The first one I can let go coz it doesn't really matter to me, but the second one involves money so I think I am entitled to take it the hard way yes?

14. Volunteer for a charity you really care about.

Ok, I still have 7 years!

15. Quit a job without having another lined up.

Done!

16. Live by yourself for at least 6 months.

Never!! I'm scared and dependant.

17. Run (or at least train for) a marathon.

Yay, in the process of doing. Lately my friends all into jogging so I signed up for the KPE run with them. 5km only la, I think I really too long never exercise already. I went jogging with Gary on Mon, ran 1.5km and had stitches, and my thighs ached till Thurs. God, I really must practise if not I'll be crawling through the 5km.

18. Pay off your credit card debt/car loan.

*Calculates*Hmm, should be able to pay off my debts in 7 years time. Heh.

19. Visit a strip club.

Singapore got meh?! What's up with CLEO and these weird suggestions man.

20. Learn how to stand up for yourself whenever you receive poor customer service. You deserve better than that.

I think most of us have already done this. After all, we're Singaporeans. We don't take shit, we COMPLAIN!

21. Learn how to choose the perfect wine.

Boring. Not interested at all.

22. Have a favourite book that isn't chick-lit.

Done!

23. Forgive someone who wronged you; apologise to someone you've betrayed.

Forgiving doesn't mean you have to talk to the person right? Done.

24. Cook an impressive three-course meal for someone.

But I don't want to cause anyone to get food poisoning lehz. =P

25. Confess that (present or past) crush to a friend.

Even better, how 'bout a 17 year infatuation? I'll do it this Christmas, trying to work up the courage.

26. Buy a complete set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill and a lace bra.

Lace bra, I have. The other two, WHATEVER THE HELL FOR??!

27. Go to an art gallery and buy an original piece of art.

I already have an original piece of art. Its on my back.

28. Have a one-night stand (or more than one).

What's wrong with CLEO?! All these funny suggestions. How can they condone this?! *ahem* No comments.

29.Drink a cocktail in a posh bar in Paris.

Damn. I should have done this when I went there. Now I have to go again.

30. Drive a wickedly cool car even if you have to rent it.

My car will be cool. It will be totally pink.

Finally finished! Actually just did that for fun la. I'm not really gonna try to do all those things.. Except maybe throw a drink at a guy, lolz!

Record Breaking!

2008-08-31T05:52:00.001+08:00

Yes, I'm finally updating!! I broke a personal record this week but more about that later, now the long awaited update..

020808(Jas and SW birthday celebration)

The theme was pink(chosen by my dear of coz) and orange(jas). So obviously I chose to wear pink la! In fact, almost 80% of the 30 over guests they invited wore pink lor! Haha pink RULEZ! (i can hear jas protesting now) As usual, pictures talk!

What I wore

Pink earrings, pink halter, pink cardigan and pink bracelet! Haha. I'm a fully certified pink lover!

Extremely BIG portions. Or should I say it looks big judging by the size of the bowl? Food was good though kinda ex..

Group pictures

See.. Only like a couple of people wore orange. Lolz.

Half seh

Apparently I was quite gone that night. What I know is that I kept wanting to fight and wanted to go CantoRock to dance techno. What I didn't know, however, is that I threw a lemon at Jace(who i really really miss alot btw!!) when she gave it to me to bite. LOL. Totally don't recall that. Scary. Poor Jace, once in a blue moon go club then have to take care of half the people there. =x

Actually got alot more photos, but since it was quite awhile back this about sums it up. Since then I've been busy WORKING! Haha, ok la, plus trying to go out as often as usual. Plus finally finishing up [They Kiss Again] AND starting on [Fated To Love You].

I finished the whole show in less than a week!! Yup, thats the record I broke. I know its nothing big la, but with my *ahem* busy schedule its not an easy feat ok!! And the show is damn nice la.. Really can't start watching taiwan dramas again if not will seriously feel that singapore guys are quite sad.

Nvm, ming zhong zhu ding wo ai ta! =P

And then there were two..

2008-08-16T09:37:00.004+08:00

I know i haven't been updating but that's coz i was busy with my new blog!!!! Don't worry, it's not gonna replace this, it's just that Yahoo! auctions announced they were retiring so Pink Pampered Princesses was born!

I just simply love the name and the skin!!! I know i very hao lian praise my own blog but the creator of the blogskin is really a girl after my own heart.. All those who love pink will love it!!!Go check it out k.. Cheap perfume, cosmetics and skin care! =)

Updates very soon!

super UP update!

2008-08-05T03:28:00.003+08:00

ok, i'm supposed to be sleeping now but i decided to be nice and bring you the latest news before the newspapers later.

i was at east coast mac with my friend just now when we suddenly saw afew firemen walk past. at first i thought there was a fire or something but lazy to go see so we just continued sitting there till we heard 2 guys talking about a drowning. apparently, one woman was found but there was another woman and man yet to be found. one of the guys said that they were drunk when they fell in.

so being a typical kpo singaporean, we went to the beach to check it out and there were 3 civil defence trucks, 2 police cars, one ambulance and one diving response team there. plus a whole crowd of people.

while we were standing there watching the divers get prepared, heard rumors going around that the guy pulled one of the ladies into the sea and they had been missing since 10pm(it was 2am then). my friend commented that maybe the guy was possessed and i seriously got goosebumps, what with it being the 7th month and all..(sleeping in my bro's room now.)

we stayed till 2.30am when the divers already went in their boat to search then my friend had to leave so we went off. tried to take afew photos but was very dark so this was the best i could do..

moral of the story? treasure your life, live each day to the fullest and be NICE! coz judgement day is like a thief in the night, you'll never know when its coming. i'm abit freaked out now.

XIAXUE vs DAWN YANG - when will it stop?

2008-08-02T04:56:00.003+08:00

For those of you who don't know about it, this is like the biggest thing happening in the blogosphere now. So big, in fact, that it made headlines on the Sunday Times and made normal citizens wonder if the newspapers suddenly had nothing better to write about.

Actually it all started on June 30th, when Xiaxue blogged a whole entry about how 'plastic' Dawn is. That was around the same time that I was going through the break-up so the ongoing cyber fight really kept me occupied and entertained. At that time I was already tempted to blog about it but I was busy settling other things and thought this would die off after awhile. I didn't expect that it'd drag so long and be so big! How big? Well, seems like netizens everywhere are setting up Dawn hate sites and trying to expose her plastic side.

Ok, before I continue, my thoughts on the 2 girls. As I've already said, I admire Xiaxue for her ability to do what I've always wanted to; making a living through blogging. I must admit that her blog is funny and entertaining, but she's also constantly bitching about the smallest issues and seems to think that she's always right about EVERYTHING. I believe that she can actually be funny and entertaining, without being such a bitch, if she wants to. Dawn.. Well, to be honest I hated her coz she's so damn hot, but realising its plastic.. I still kinda hated her. Lolz. And her blog is totally boring. The only reason why anyone would read it before this whole drama would be to check out her photos. And the best part is.. I'll get to that later.

Even though I feel that Xiaxue is a better blogger by a long shot, I kinda pity Dawn now. The numerous sites set up about her lies have not only exposed the fact that she had undergone plastic surgery, but also how she has posed as her own fan in forums and plagiarised blog articles. And they even have proof! So the best part is, most of her blog was COPIED and it was still boring!! Thats damn sad la.

I'm lazy to blog about everything in detail so if you want, you can go read these 2 websites. xxvsdy and theliesofdawn . I think people have been too hard on Dawn already la, Xiaxue was actually the one who started everything by slagging her off then now her many crazy fans are digging up dirt on Dawn just coz she's gonna sue their beloved Xiaxue.

Like I said, I don't really like either of them though I read Xiaxue's blog almost everyday, but read those anti-Dawn blogs and anyone with the tiniest bit of compassion would think that those people are going too far already la! If she has to go for plastic surgery then doesn't it show how insecure of a person she is? How much further do they want to push her? Until she commit suicide then they happy ah? And if that happens, are they willing to accept that her blood will be on their hands?

I think it's highly possible that Xiaxue set up the hate site herself. Afterall, she has done it before what. You see, she herself has many flaws but just coz she's entertaining, people tend to overlook them. And I bet Dawn's haters who are flaming her like mad are divided into 3 categories; Xiaxue's fans(a big number of them), jealous girls and afew guys who know they can never get her. If not why make such a big fuss over such a small issue?

Anyway, just wanna make it clear that I'm not siding Dawn. I just feel that the whole plastic surgery thing is just a small matter. The plagiarism is definately wrong though, anybody who blogs would know to quote or cite their sources! BUT now that she has been exposed and apologised for it, is there a need to keep on slamming her and criticising her? Go see the 2 blogs tagboard and I think you would feel scared that anyone can have that amount of hate in their hearts. Enough is enough la. I wonder how long is this gonna continue? Till they get bored of this whole issue? Or till something really bad happens? Hmmm.

win a year's worth of free make-up!

2008-07-29T08:07:00.004+08:00

i know i should be sleeping but dunno why i like not tired lehz. anyway, was checking my email and saw that there was this contest in the shopping lifestyle newsletter. the brand is bourjois, quite a good make-up brand.

this is the link : MAKE-UP ESSENTIALS

good luck!

thank god for my friends.

2008-07-29T07:28:00.002+08:00

ok short entry. i was bored and bo liao so decided to go read ppl's blogs. happened to read somebody's blog where she is constantly bitching about stuff and changing best friends every few months. i wonder why? hmm.

anyway, this just made me even more thankful that i have u girls who are always there for me and that we'll be friends forever till we grow old, have kids(i'll be married to kc of coz!) and become tai-tais and we'll be having shopping sprees and high teas and mj! or at least, that is THE dream. i just love you guys la. you know who you are.

tell you more abt 'that person' when i see you all k.

i'm back!!!!

2008-07-28T03:40:00.003+08:00

Yup yup, sorry for the lag in blogging. Been busy with birthdays, chalets, movies, ktv-ing, getting drunk and the usual stuff.. Oh, and work of coz. Lolz. Plus there was this LITTLE problem I had to settle which I do not wish to speak of. Or should I say can't. When I first learnt of it, I wished I had the guts to kill myself. Which of coz, I'm so glad I didn't because I've learnt so many valuable lessons from it. (Plus I realised I still love living no matter how shitty things get. I stand firm in what I believe in; when there's life, there's hope.)

Firstly, a friend in need is truly a friend indeed. To those of you who know what I'm talking about, thanks so much for all the support and help. You know I love you guys. I can't even begin to mention how much. Secondly, money IS definately the root of all evil which links to the third, being, I really should stop being so fucking ~~naive~~ stupid.

Well, you know what they say.. Bad things come in threes. Although that's only two.. wait a minute, I guess the break-up can't be considered a bad thing. My bad. We never really understood each other anyway, even more so now. It's just the memories which has to be locked away. Next time I must really look before I leap. But it's funny how when something bad happens, it helps us to get over what we thought was bad before that. It's time people start thinking positive and be glad the worst shit hasn't happened. Ok, I know I'm starting to sound uncomprehensible, so basically, I'm just trying to say be grateful for what you have coz there are people with worse fates around.

Anyway, my problems are in the midst of being settled, but I kinda was thinking and couldn't sleep and I have to wake up at 8am later, so the best solution would be not to sleep of coz. Time to catch up on my blogging and since I've abandoned my post about Thumper, the very least I can say is.. they have free flow on ladies' night! Although I did hear from Lynn, who was the one who intro-ed the place, that they're like under renovation or something so you might wanna double check before going down.

Ok, that's it. Guess I'm gonna try go sleep now.

Haha. Just kidding!!! God, I don't know whats making me so hyper at this time of the night. Anyway, I think the Australia post is long overdue so here goes.. (As usual, I'll try to let the pictures do the talking.)

The flight there..

My mum on one side..
and my act-cool-but-actually-super-excited bro on the other!

HAPPY!

touchdown!

It was drizzling when we reached. Such a bleak welcome.. But nothing could spoil our moods! We rented 2 cars (for 3 'children' and 3 couples) but I forgot to take pictures of the car! They were both Toyota, one 8 seater and one normal one.

First stop was Gold Coast Surfers Paradise Ipanema Apartments, the place we stayed at for about half the time in Australia. I loved it! My family took one unit, which has two bedrooms and TWO TOILETS!!!!

living room

kitchen

swimming pool and jacuzzi!

a stove and sink in my very own room!!!

Ok, I took this photo afew days into our stay there so that explains the messiness. And yes, I joined the two beds together coz I was a little scared at night. Heh. Not as scared as I was in Thailand though. It just seemed more black magic-y and ghostly and eerie there than in Australia. Plus of coz there was the dubious looking 'hotel' and all. This apartment? Just awesome.

The balcony outside our room was where I'd smoke at night. I only smoked like twice a day there, but I guess that was bad enough considering that the last time I went to Paris with my dad and his friends I wasn't even a smoker. Then again, that was like 5 years ago. Anyway, isn't the view just soooo nice?? I totally loved the apartment.

where we had our first meal in aussie!

Went for Sat evening mass. The church that we went to seemed like a small community where everyone was nice and friendly. Yes, I know I look like a total fashion disaster but it was freaking cold there can?!! I couldn't wait to get back to Singapore's weather! But now it's so hot la. Hai.. It's true that humans are all fan jian. But I think I can really tolerate heat more than cold.

Day 2

Went to visit my grandaunt in Brisbane. My mother's 2 cousins were so hospitable! They came all the way to Gold Coast to fetch us and sent us home at the end of the day. And trust me, it is a super long and ass-numbing trip from one place to the other. I think it took like 3-4 hours. I dunno, I was sleeping throughout most of the journey.

They even cooked laksa for us for lunch! AND offered me spaghetti when I told them I couldn't really eat spicy food. That was after they exclaimed disbelief that someone with paranakan blood couldn't eat chilli. For the benefit of those of you who don't know, I think I can't eat spicy food coz when I young my mum would always threaten to put chilli in my mouth whenever I said something foul. And she'd really do it. Hmm. Maybe I should do that to my kids. Haha!

in my grandaunt's house

her ultra big garden

After lunch, we went to Mount Cootha, which is some mountain top la. Check out the view..

It was breath-taking. I can't wait to go to Switzerland and see what it's like there! Anyway, they had 2 cafes there and even though it was cold, it's never too cold for ice-cream! I ate chocolates and ice-cream there everyday!! Which is why I came back pimply(still trying to get rid of the last few pimples) and 5kg heavier(which i've since lost again thank god)!!

Then we went to some park which reminded me of sentosa but abit smaller and less entertainment.

After that, went for dinner! Yes, half our time there was spent eating.

Looks like a supermarket right? But it's actually a place where you can choose your seafood fresh and they cook it on the spot for u!! If you want also can buy it home and cook yourself la, but people cook for you why don't want?

Day 3

We're going to DreamWorld!! 'We' being my brother, Daniel and me!! There was a short debate about whether to go DreamWorld(my brother wanted to see the animals. *rolls eyes*) or MovieWorld(i wanted to see some STARS.) Daniel was like neutral and I realised MovieWorld was mostly just normal people dressed up as superheroes/cartoon characters, so DreamWorld it was.

First, breakfast of course. We went to Surfer's Paradise where they had Macs and this place called Hungry Jacks which I found super familiar..

BK anyone?

I kept exclaiming that it was a BK imitation till I looked closely at my orange juice cup and realised that its licensed under BK. But why they renamed it is something I pondered about for a good half hour or so while eating. And I still don't understand why. The mysteries of life.. Anyway, the food was much better than Singapore's BK. They had hotcakes and nice wraps with bacon and egg!

After that filling breakfast, we went to DreamWorld not once thinking that we might puke after sitting the rides.(we didn't la but still.. we could have!)

The 120m drop in the background. Genting seems mild compared to this!

The first 'ride' we took.

The first few rides we sat were all abit kiddish coz my bro's a wimp!(jace now i know how you felt)So the first thriller of the day was this 360-degree spinning ride. Chris didn't take the ride so he helped to take photos. Can see me?

I'm on the exteme right next to Daniel.

It was heart-stopping can?! When it flings you downwards from the top all you have is the filmsy safety lock to keep you from dropping dead onto the ground! I kept praying throughout the whole thing and gripped the handlebars so hard that my nails dug into my palm.

Look at the imprints! Lucky my bro never take with us sia.. He has asthma and smartly forgot to bring his inhaler along, I scared wait he hyperventilate. Lolz.

Another thrill ride which we took called 'The Claw'

This one not scary, but the feeling super shiok. Abit like Viking but nicer! Then we went to see the animals.. First, we went to see a REAL tiger show. There was one white tiger which is supposedly on the brink of extinction and one.. normal tiger.

That day, I learnt that tigers actually can climb trees, so if you ever get chased by one, don't bother climbing a tree ok..? Next, on to the koala bears and kangeroos.. *yawn* I took a pic with a koala bear before when I was young so I didn't bother taking another. Have to pay AUD$20 lehz! Somemore after that my bro complained that he smelled of pee. Haha!

I know it looks harmless but its scary lehz! I saw 2 kangeroos fighting just a few minutes before we attempted to touch them and they looked like they could attack us any moment. And those people just let them loose all around the park. So dangerous lor!

The last ride that we took was a water ride so we had to endure a cold and wet and long journey back home. But it was all worth it coz once we reached the apartment we jumped into the nice and warm jacuzzi! Bliss.

Day 4

Started out with one of the best breakfasts ever! It was at this award-winning pie place which also had mouth-watering pastries(in a variety of colours!) and super refreshing juices!

yummy!!

Then we headed down to Surfer's Paradise to chill at the beach awhile.

My dad is so funny. The water so cold he still die die wanna go in then still try to pull people in.. Lolz. But surprisingly there were still some people surfing there and stuff. Guess they're used to the weather there la. I just cam-whored and then sat there and took in the FRESH air and great scenery. =)

Then we went crabbing!!! Or at least that's what we were told we were gonna do.. 'Catch crabs.'

We sailed for abit then somewhere in the middle we were surrounded by these birds and the crew(there were ony 2 of them) gave us some small slimy dead fish to feed them. It was quite fun la, just throw the fish in the air and the birds would immediately fly up to gobble them up.

my mother wants to be captain!

Then we sailed to the place where we were supposed to catch the crabs, but guess what? Apparently their definition of 'crabbing' is to set the traps like dunno how many days beforehand and when we reached there all we did was pull up the traps!! Nonsense.

The crabs we 'caught'

But in all fairness, after that we got to dig for yabbies and go fishing!! What are yabbies you ask? They are fish bait which look like a cross between prawns and lobsters but the mini mini version! Yabbies!

I know the picture doesn't match my description but in real life they really do look like what I described!!! Ok, I shall go and find a more accurate picture from wiki.

See!

The most interesting part was how we caught the yabbies. Before we went on this whole crabbing thingy, my dad assured me we wouldn't have to step into the lake. But it was a lie!! We had to go knee deep into the possibly crocodile infested water to catch the yabbies! Ok la, I could have chosen not to do it, but why miss out the fun right? Lucky I didn't watch [Rogue Crocodile]. =x

We used the pump to suck the sand and sift it in the sifting tray and we'll get the yabbies which were hiding in the sand! Sounds simple right? I only caught 2. =(

Luckily the weather was not that cold on that day. After that they let us fish for a pathetic 45 minutes.

At least one of us managed to catch something. They told us there was a rule in that state of Australia where the fish actually had to be over or under a certain weight then can bring home, if not have to throw back in. Luckily our fishy met the requirements so they cleaned it for us and packed it up. We ate it for supper later that night..

After that, they cooked the crabs for us (we had to pay an extra AUD$10 each if we wanted to eat but it was worth every cent!!) and we had a very yummilicious meal of crabs and oysters!!! It was damn fresh and succulent!!! Thinking about it makes me hungry.. I want seafood!!!!!

Then we went to some fruit and vegetable farm where the adults (i know technically i'm also supposed to be considered an adult but i was hanging with the teens!) went crazy over cheap avocadoes and other green stuff. I was bored stiff so i ate 2 ice creams while we were there. Yup, 5kg alert!
Day 5

Went for breakfast at Mac's(!!) then took a flight to Adelaide. I have made a pact with myself that I'm gonna try eating Mac in all the other countries that I visit coz they have such special different stuff! Check out this one..

McAmerica looks good.....and so do all the other limited edition burgers! AND CHECK OUT THEIR MAC CAFE!!!!

It looks so much more scrumptious than ours! But luckily ours not like that if not I'll be much much fatter!

Droolworthy

When we were at the airport waiting for the flight, Daniel bought hokkien mee for freaking AUD$13!!!!!!

It was small and he says it was 'ok only'. Lolz. Well, everything must be tried once I guess.

When we reached our Aunt's place in Adelaide we received a very warm welcome with.. surprise surprise.. a whole tableful of good food like chicken, beef, lamb, veggies, mash potatoes, corn.. and afew other things. That's almost like eating at Carnivore! How to not put on weight there I ask you?

This is only when 3/4 the courses were served.. Dessert was custard pudding. Heaven.. Then my brother and I went over to our cousin's house to stay and this was our nice room..Its actually our 2 baby nieces room but I didn't wanna sleep alone so they moved to some other room.. Hehe..

Sooo CUTE right?! Just adore them!

Day 6

We went for a picnic which was madness in the icy cold weather! It was even colder there than in Gold Coast! Daytime around 14 degrees and as low as 6 degrees at night. Brr.

Then we walked around the shops in that little german themed town. Got ALOT of sweet and chocolate shops lor! First was this chocolate shop which had cute phrases stuck on the wall..

how true

Then there was this totally awesome candy shop which looked like it came right out of an Enid Blyton book. I finally got to see all the sweets I could only read about, like humbugs and macaroons and honeycombs and licorice! Ok, I know Singapore also have, but not in such a quaint shop and altogether in one place! Candy Empire is so.. blah.

Day 7

Went to visit some boring herbal place where this guy was giving a little talk on the plants that he grew. On the bright side, we went wine tasting after that! Free wine!!!

Cold cold cold!

Naiii-ohhh-mieeeee

Doesn't my mum just look so.. tiny in that big oversized coat?

I love the name of this wine! It tastes good too.

Life sized wine bottle

A real fireplace!

The view of the wine valley was splendid but sadly, I dunno why I can't find any pictures of it now.

After that, we went to this place called the Whispering Wall. It's like a huge concave bridge/wall where you whisper at one end and the person at the other end can hear you. Cool or what?

One side of the wall was a river and this was on the other side. It would've been abit scary to look down for someone afraid of heights.

Then we went shopping!! They had lotsa clubbing clothes on sale as it was winter there. Yay! In between we went to the arcade and their arcade is super big lor! Had everything from all the old school games like water pistol shooting to new stuff like Initial D and even bumper cars! But the best thing I saw was this..

Deal or No Deal!!! Hahahaha.. I tried playing but only won like 5 tickets. =\

Dinner was at Hog's Breath Cafe, where apparently they cook the steak for EIGHTEEN hours. It was gooood. I must go try the Singapore one and see how it stacks up against the original.

Corona salt and pepper shakers!

They had a playroom for kids..

...and their toilet signs were.. interesting.
That was our last night so I begged my mum to allow my brother to go clubbing and my nice cousin Ty brought us around. Went to 2 clubs and another place. Damn fun till I got dead drunk and just wanted to lie down. The fun was coz its another country, but Singapore clubbing scene definately more happening!

Can you spot the extra large margarita? Shared by 5 people!

Day 8

Going home day.. Best part? I had a bloody huge hangover and only slept for one hour! So on the way to the airport and while waiting for the flight I had to put up with major headaches and nauseousness. Told myself no drinking and smoking once I reach Singapore, but well.. Heh.

Bye bye my favourite niece, Caitlyn! She looks so cutely blur.

Oh yah, forgot to mention one more thing I've been doing. Watching [How I Met Your Mother]!!! That's what I was doing while waiting for all those pics to upload. Damn funny la the show. Thanks to Cammie who passed me season 1. For those of you who don't have such nice/un-busy(i know there's no such word but if I say free won't you get the wrong idea?) friends, you can always watch it on http://www.fanpop.com/. They have EVERY nice series you can think of there. If it's not there, well.. it's not nice!

P.S. I took TWO WEEKS to complete this entry and I think I just broke my longest entry record!! Hey! Are you.. Sleeping?? Anyway, I promise I'll try to blog short entries more often instead of MIA-ing and then dropping a super long entry on you all k!

bye bye hair

2008-06-19T02:04:00.002+08:00

ok, this is gonna be a totally emo entry. normally i hate people who are overly emo, but right now i hate myself so isn't that just befitting?

sometimes i just feel like there's nobody who can really be there for me.. ok, maybe not be there for me but nobody that can really understand me? argh! this is what i hate about being emo.. it's so hard to express feelings in words sometimes..

basically, i'm just feeling like shit now. and i feel like nobody cares enough. god, this is so emo i feel embarassed just typing it. and i know when u guys are around i probably won't feel this way anymore but right now i do!! i tink coz no one close to me is awake to listen to me whine and bitch now..

ok enough of this. i'm gonna sleep and feel tons better tomorrow. aussie updates soon k! bear with me..

my brother

2008-05-26T05:14:00.000+08:00

ok, i know the title sounds like one of a primary school composition. you know, last time in primary school they were always asking us to write on topics like 'my pet' or 'my hero' or 'my best friend'.. that kinda thing? that time i always had to crack my brains on what to write but now i feel like i got a whole lotta things to say so i must blog it out in parts coz i don't have the mood to type a long entry today.

i super heart my bro la! he always makes me laugh.

i was just listening to rihanna's [take a bow] and he commented that she has limited vocab coz she keeps using the same words over and over again. i thought about it for like 3 secs then started singing," under my umbrella, ella ella.." and he ended off with," eh eh eh.." lolz. enough said.

then i went to watch a video of xiaxue getting her tongue pierced and we both kinda don't really like her so i said wait pierce already then she choke on her blood, then my bro said maybe her tongue will fall off. hah. but unfortunately neither happened la. its not that i hate her, i seriously admire and envy her for managing to make it so big in the blogosphere but she can be such a bitch sometimes!

anyway, i wanna pierce my belly! since 7 yrs ago.. but just didn't have the guts plus i wanted to wait till i lose weight. but i saw the video online and it looks bearable plus i don't really care how painful it is anymore.. hmm. ok i'm gonna pierce my belly before i go australia! or should i go there and pierce?

ok, i've been so hardworking today, updating my diary, my blog and my music collection!! lolz. but the only times i write in my diary are when something really important happens or when i'm extremely happy or sad or angry. basically when i'm having extreme emotions. go figure.

here we go again..

2008-05-22T04:46:00.002+08:00

decisions decisions. and the question for today is..

should i sleep or stay up till my training at 8am later?

i really wanted to sleep early today but i came online and realised [dh] has been released till episode 17!!! so i thought why not just watch all the way till i have to wake up since i wasn't feeling particularly tired. BUT. i'm abit sleepy now and with only 3 hours left to sleep, i dunno if i should just sleep and try to wake up in time later or continue watching [dh], which is so tempting.

the thing is, i've been slacking ALOT these past few days. and i hate the feeling of bumming around! i mean, i love bumming (although after 1 week i'd probably get sian of doing nothing constructive with my life) but i hate the thought that i am actually bumming!! hai. miraculously, the past 2 weeks i actually worked harder than usual till fri when i just started nua-ing again.

so how??? should i sleep anot? dammit. suddenly i can't think of any friends who would be awake at this time. in any case, it'd be weird if i called anyone just to ask whether i should go sleep anot.

on one hand, [dh] is so interesting but on the other, i'm in my bro's room(which i used to share with him) where it's all dark and cosy and nice to sleep!

keke, better entries soon. i can't think much coz i'm kinda sleepy and yet there's too many things running through my head. i think my life is in quite a messy state now.. have to really start prioritizing!!

bottoms UP closed DOWN =(

2008-05-16T17:41:00.002+08:00

Ok, my long awaited entry for you guys.. It's been awhile since I blogged about interesting stuff 'coz I've been busy and lazy(yes, i know you've heard the excuse a million times but this is for the benefit of the people who I've recently found out read my blog, but more details about that another time) Yes, Bottoms Up has been closed for more than a month already then I write this entry.. I know I'm slow.. But this is the place where I worked, slept, ate, drank(alot!) and played for half of last year, so I must still write a tribute to it.. Now that it closed down I can finally tell everyone that we played MJ there and show you all photos of the 3rd floor!!

The Beginning

As most of you know, I was actually working at Dbl C pub at Boat Quay last year with Yvonne but the boss there was kinda.. well, bossy and I didn't really enjoy working there. More over, the pay kinda sucked. Then by some fate or something, I bumped into Zi Chao after work and he told me they were still hiring (actually when they just open he got tell me before, but i felt that working for friends might get abit hard coz sometimes might not know where to draw the line between work and play) so I went to try it out with Von and the starting of my super slack life began.. I'll try to keep it less wordy and more photo-y k! Yes, there'll be alot of red faced and glassy-eyed photos. And you all can see how much I changed!! All the different hairstyles and how I became fatter coz of alcohol. =( But NVM, it was worth it!

the girl i used to see almost everyday

ah hao, bartender cum cashier cum cleaner cum waiter. lolz.

sitting behind the bar zhi lian-ing after drinking abit too much

with the 2 lau jiaos, belle and meijun(we were all high when we took this pic)

me and belle, my 'best friend' in bottoms!

The funny thing is, when i first saw her when i was just a customer i hated her coz of some stupid guy, but then when i started working then realised that she's so sweet and cute and blur!! i miss her.. =( 5-10 queen lehz.. nobody can win her..

This was the first couple of months, before the 2 lazy owners (Esmund and Zi Chao) actually decided to come back and check on the pub every once in awhile. Then Von and Meijun quit and those 2 started appearing much more often.. Then the MJ and the clubbing and the outings started!! We could just work till 6am then play MJ till 1pm then go out for lunch and maybe walk walk or catch a show then go back to work!! Madness but super fun la..

The People (Friends and regulars who became friends)

tracy, ex-waitress who came back to work, a super small size girl with super big guts

jie ying and jenn

See the game machine behind? I think I spent at least $500 on it in the 6 month I spent at Bottoms. Everyday can spend around $15 on the 11up game, trying to break record..

with my sweetheart!!

ah hao's birthday

ah liang and ah xiong (belle's bf) , caught in the act. heh.

sharon, ah xiong's sis. (it's like a family tree or wat?! lolz.)

i think we took this pic in the toilet. this is the night we played rnb songs on the ktv system and danced at the 1st floor. really madness. but the fun kind!

xiao pang, one of the youngest

zen and raymond

zen

alex, my ex 'darling'. lolz. the very first mj room!

ah hao and stupid. lolz.

so now i'm with stupid. keke, thats matthew, super super regular who ended up staying in bottoms 24/7.

fengwen and mel. can say mel was the one who started everything coz i know zc through her.

kenneth the gay boy. he has a gf though. lolz.

pauline and samantha, super young kids. don't ask. =x

and how can i forget my bestie right? i dunno why but i only have these two pictures.. so to the rest of the girls, don't kill me ok! i tried to find photos with the rest of you inside but can't find.. think jas never send me!

Then we have the birthday celebrations where everyone gets dead drunk!! First up.. Alex!

I think he ran outside to escape from drinking but in the end everyone came out and took pictures of him looking like a drunk. Even took turns posing with him. Lolz.

Next, Ah Seng and Vison's birthday..

The cake so cool hor! After that we all went upstairs to sleep, but not before graffiti-cating (is there such a word?) ah seng's back. Guess which signature is mine!! Haha.

And of coz there's MY birthday! But I only have 2 photos coz Steph refuses to pass me the rest till my next birthday! Oh well, it's just repetitive pictures of me looking drunk with different people anyway.

the one year overdue 'surprise' from my babes

martell-ed bliss. lolz.

And I would like to again thank EVERYONE who took care of me that day. Yes i know I was stumbling around like a drunk elephant and the reason was stupid, so ya.. I think you guys will be happy to know that I haven't gotten drunk since then!! I think. Haha. =X Okok, no more drinking on my birthday. It kinda defeats the purpose when you're not able to remember anything about your birthday.

i dunno who edited these photos, but i know after we took this we went to the dim sum restaurant at chin swee road to eat. Yummy!

And then we also went clubbing together afew times..

with huifen and tracy

The first time i saw huifen, she looked damn xialan and i didn't really like her also. But then i found out she just doesn't really have a habit of smiling and eventually we became quite close. I miss her la! Everytime call her she got so many other plans.. Hmph.

marcus, esmund's (ex)friend
brandon, marcus' friend
zi chao looking even more blur than usual
that's huifen's finger btw.

So what did we do the most at Bottoms? I guess it would be SLEEP! Coz after drinking shot after shot and getting a major headache, the sofa looks as inviting as a big soft bed! First, second and third floor.. All also got people sleep before! Lolz.

In the toilet also can sleep!! Haha, power la.. Btw the sofa really is quite comfortable to sleep on. Only thing I worry about are the cockroaches and rats running loose.. =X

Other random stuff

with a PINK pail, mopping is no longer a chore!! not that i remember ever mopping the floor there.. hee.

this bin belongs to bottoms up. lolz.

The last day

I purposely went to take pictures of the hidden places to show you all. Plus also for memory's sake la.. I was so sad ok!!

behind the bar on the first floor

let's take the stairs to the third floor..

the really messy 'living room'

walk straight to go to the toilet..

got bathtub somemore!! nice.
next to the toilet is my favourite.. mj room!!

then next door is the tv/gaming room.

Doesn't it look/sound fun?!! Really miss that place alot.. It's way way more fun than this.. There's the behind the scenes dramas, the bitching, the fighting, the scandals, the gossiping and the bonding. LOLZ.

And finally, a proper picture with Esmund. I dunno why but ZC wasn't there on the last day!! Keke.. Anyway, it was fun but all good things come to an end I guess..

But another came along.. Not long after Bottoms Up closed, Rush reopened at BQ!!!! Hahaha. So ya, I am still going there once a week at least! So happy got my techno fix!~~ I don't care if you say I'm childish coz I don't wanna be mature anyway! Pui.

totally random.

2008-05-16T03:30:00.005+08:00

i was in the midst of blogging a long longgggggg post but something else caught my eye and i ended up reading it for hours. i promise i will finish up my long post tml!! if i have time before rush that is. oh ya, i didn't officially announce that rush reopened right?? well it did!!!!!!!! God is on my side..

hmm. and i realised that alot of interesting people have been reading my blog. i wanted to write some bitchy stuff but then again, don't wanna hurt the people i don't intend to hurt. hah.

whatever the case, you won't find anything you wanna know here. the things you really really wanna read about is written in my personal diary. you have no idea.. =)

anyway, i miss my silly dum dum! hmph. he must be sleeping like a pig now.. ZHU!!

surprise surprise.

2008-05-05T01:41:00.003+08:00

the OTHER boleyn girl

2008-04-13T06:23:00.002+08:00

if only history was this interesting back in high school.

just came back from watching the show and it was so good that i feel an urge to start my movie blogging again, this time with a proper web page. but we shall wait till i'm hard working enough for that and just make do with these occasional movie posts for now ya?

i learnt 2 things from this show. although the show is not totally accurate, most of it tallies with some facts i found on wiki.

1. one of the most powerful kings in history, king henryVII is just like most of the other guys around. ie, a bastard. in the show he was attracted to both the boleyn sisters, in actual fact, he had 6 wives.

2. women always had strong influence over men. it was because of the shrewd anne boleyn that king henryVII was excommunicated by the Pope at that time and eventually broke off from the Catholic church.

seems like the past wasn't much different from the present eh? go catch the show, you won't regret it.

a quick post

2008-04-11T03:14:00.000+08:00

omg i'm so gonna get killed for not sleeping yet!! i found the blog quizzes webby and got hooked! spent a good one hour plus doing the quizzes.. here are some of the results..

The Keys to Your Life

Anything good in your life comes from your ability to play and be free.

The best way for you to solve a problem is to let go of it.

Anything bad in your life comes from fooling yourself or clinging to illusions.

Be strong enough to see the world clearly. Learn from your mistakes.

The Keys To Your Life

What Your City Walk Means

You are optimistic and hopeful. Sometimes you do get disappointed by expecting too much.

You are generally confident and friendly with strangers. You are well mannered and sociable.

Money is fairly important to you. You aren't super greedy, but you enjoy spending money on yourself.

You enjoy the world around you, and you thrive on new environments. You can be easily surrounded by natural or man made beauty.

The City Walk Personality Test

Your Life is 74% Perfect

Your life is pretty darn perfect. You don't have much to complain about.

Of course, your life is occasionally less than perfect. But you're usually too happy to notice.

How Perfect is Your Life?

You Could Be a Vampire... If You Had To

Like most people, the thought of being a vampire has crossed your mind. But you're not sure if you'd do it, even if you could.

Living forever doesn't sound half bad, if you could live forever with the people you love the most.

But do vampires even love? And would the vampire version of you even be you?

It's all too much to contemplate. Luckily, the chances of you ever becoming a vampire are astronomically low.

What you would like best about being a vampire: Living forever

What you would like least about being a vampire: Blood stained teeth

Could You Be a Vampire?

the tests results are actually quite accurate but damn!! why are the chances of me becoming a vampire low???! sobz. =(

one more thing

2008-04-05T07:23:00.000+08:00

i'm gonna miss u my dear slut. u know who u are. =(

a love story mystery

2008-04-05T07:14:00.000+08:00

i know i'm very easily satisfied when it comes to movies, but i've got to tell you, i just watched one movie which made me feel so many many emotions!! [definitely, maybe] was touching, sweet, romantic and just made me wanna know what the ending was.. i was at the edge of my seat till i knew for sure the end was what i wanted it to be and i was so so so happy! no movie has made me this happy for a long time. lolz. go watch it and i think you'll know what i mean.

i was pondering about the whole show long after it finished (actually not that long coz we watched the 4.05am show and now its 6.46am) and i realised.. every love story is a mystery. coz you would never know what the ending is. and that's what makes love so magical and sweet and awesome!! of coz, i guess the best love story of all would never have an ending and just go on forever and ever!!

but is there really a forever? i used to believe in it.. till i grew up and realised the world is not all sugar and spice and everything nice. thanks to all the assholes around, love is just a 4 letter word. it becomes something we are scared of coz we're afraid of getting hurt.

so.. do i still believe in happily ever after then? well.. even after meeting some really crappy people, i still do. i don't know why but i do. probably coz i have my head in the clouds most of the time.. and in all fairness, some people would probably consider me as one of the assholes around too. haiz. it's really a vicious circle i guess.

so, am i gonna get my happily ever after? i dunno. its a love. story. mystery.

p.s. lolz. sorry i'm just too into the show, so many emotions, just had to blog this out. updates soon. =)

short, sweet and simple

2008-03-27T01:57:00.002+08:00

my baby and my baby's baby. =)

100th post!!

2008-03-22T08:39:00.002+08:00

this is my 100th entry!! yay!~ actually its 102nd but coz got 2 drafts i didn't post so its 100th!! haha. don't tell u why i nv post the drafts. secret. =P

ok stuff i've been up to..

bbq at the icon (170208)

was madeline's bdae and the icon is a super nice luxurious condo that her fren owns juz opp our office!!! i believe i found my dream house!! i always told my friends i rather just stay in a hdb coz its more like a home but this condo is AWESOME!

the pool at the 7th floor and the view

jacuzzis and the pavilion on the 31st floor!!

just these pictures don't justify the awesome-ness of this place!!! heard that it costs around S$2mil for one unit.. i don't care i want!! lolz.

bought 4D for the first time ever!!(210208)

i mean i shared with my friends before but nv actually went to buy by myself. but my colleagues tempted me with the $10mil prize!! the queue was freaking long. singaporeans will always be singaporeans i guess..

i walked into ntuc thinking that the queue might end there at the back but no..

it stretched all the way till the outside of ntuc and went on.. while queueing, i thought of what i would do with the money if i won.. BUY ICON IMMEDIATELY. haha. plus other stuff. obviously, i didn't win the first prize if not i'd be doing other waste money stuff rather than blog but i won the 3 plus 1!! $20 only la but covered my $15 which i used. then at night went to lo hei at my grandma's house. ok, i know this is so outdated but ya..

i was amazed at the big plate of yusheng coz i've nv seen such a huge one before!!

isn't my ang moh niece simply adorable?? her sis also quite cute but she headbutted me while i was sleeping to wake me up. lolz.

genting trip!!(220208)

yes yes. the long awaited post about genting. imagine this. 5 people squeezed into a hyundai getz with only 2 doors for 6 hrs. SAD right? all thanx to ben la! dunno why he wanna drive there instead of taking a nice comfy spacious coach. the only advantage was that we could stop anywhere we wanted.

me, jace and ann

the girls sat behind while ben and gary, the gay couple, sat in front. LOL.

our food staple for the trip thanks to ann!! its damn nice la but eating too much gives me sorethroat. =(

our first meal of the trip.. A&W again!! we heart it!!

when we finally reached, we realised that we were staying at theme park hotel instead of the lousy first world! it was sooo much nicer..

hotel lobby

hotel room

super beautiful view from our rm!

random cute dustbin (the head is for cig butts. lol.)

by the time we reached it was around 7, so we went to get movie tix for [vantage point], which is a super nice show btw, then went to sing our hearts out!! super CHEAP ktv!!! food, drinks and 2 hrs plus for only like S$10?? next time i'm gg genting to sing for 3 days consecutively! n then come back with no voice. haha. which is wat happened to jace.. she weak la. =x

i was very very amused with the warning that the tv kept flashing. maybe in malaysia these kinda things always happen..

after movie, we went to check out the casinos awhile but eventually got bored and went back to our room quite late. as my loyal blog readers know, i didn't sleep the day before we left for genting coz i was busy blogging so i was super shagged when we woke up the next day!

jace the dictator woke us all up early for breakfast but ben and me were so tired we went back to the room to sleep and i made ben come over to our side coz i was scared to sleep alone!! oh ya! ben and gary not only shared one room but they shared a bed too!!! wahahahaha.. dunno what they did at night that made ben so shagged.. LOL. in the end i kena forced to wake up by ben but by the time we went down to the theme park those 3 sat most of the rides so i didn't really sit many. here are some of the few i took..

first ride: viking. i like!

it wasn't even scary but we just screamed for the sake of screaming. the fun part was, we screamed when everyone else wasn't. i screeched. =x

i was so scared to take the go-kart coz they made us sign an agreement that they'd be free of all liabilities. the first 2 times i went i didn't dare to sit but this time ben and gary refused to let me run away so i tried it and.. it was freaking SLOW la! not scary at all. haha.

jace and me took the water ride alone coz the rest dun wanna get wet! this was after we kena splash by water. it was freaking cold and that stupid gary went to make cold jokes. lolz. keep asking me to eat ice cream. brr. after that we went to bath and change and i fell asleep again. coz jace took damn long to bath la! i went to the other room to bath and by the time i came back she still wasn't done! slowwww.. after that we went to sit this indoor ride which was damn lame..

us us us~

one of my fav meals of the trip. at a chinese restaurant on the way down from genting. ben's treat. free things are always nice! haha. but even not free also it'd be nice la. yum yum.

mama's birthday(290208)

yup my grandma is same age as me!!! her birthday falls on every leap year! and almost every year on her birthday we have this kebaya-wearing tradition.. shall let the pics do the talking.

my cousins grace, joycelyn and me!

ktv-ing(020308)

after that even though i was i half seh went to play mj with the bottoms ppl. esmund got bored and made a pyramid while waiting for one of the ka. in the end i won somemore!! haha.

clubbing with my babes(050308)

went to dbl o to drink first then to phuture after many many shots. unfortunately, phuture was freaking full house so we were at mambo the whole night!! BORING. i soooo wanted to club r&b after watching [step up 2] but up till now still NEVER!! the show is damn good btw. i watched it twice. more zhi lian pix..

forcing my bro to take pics with me

ok firstly, this pic is tooo cute to not post up. my bro actually said he would kill me if i post it in my blog but then he doesn't actually read my blog so lets just pray he doesn't see this..

CUTE RIGHT?! lolz. he everytime take my hair band and use coz his fringe irritates him, so i decided to take a pic and blackmail him. lolz.

mama's birthday.

sad la, most of the time have to force him to take pictures with me. but actually he secretly like, he just don't wanna admit being zhi lian also. lolz.

ok, other than all this, been spending alot of time with my baby. actually, one person i must thank is my babe zann la.. coz she's the one who came up with the idea of matchmaking us! lolz. matchmaking sounds so old school but ya, hers is the modern version ok! anyway, i know some of u are dying to see what he looks like but i purposely wanna keep you in suspense lehz.. haha.. next post k! ;P gonna sleep now super tired!!!

speaking of crying, just wanted to share this story that my manager shared with us the other day.

My mom only had one eye. I hated her... she was such an embarrassment. She cooked for students & teachers to support the family. There was this one day during elementary school where my mom came to say hello to me. I was so embarrassed. How could she do this to me? I ignored her, threw her a hateful look and ran out.

The next day at school one of my classmates said, "EEEE, your mom only has one eye!" I wanted to bury myself. I also wanted my mom to just disappear.
I confronted her that day and said, " If you're only going to make me a laughing stock, why don't you just die?"
My mom did not respond...
I didn't even stop to think for a second about what I had said, because I was full of anger. I was oblivious to her feelings.

I wanted out of that house, and have nothing to do with her. So I studied real hard, got a chance to go abroad to study.
Then, I got married. I bought a house of my own. I had kids of my own.
I was happy with my life, my kids and the comforts. Then one day, my mother came to visit me.
She hadn't seen me in years and she didn't even meet her grandchildren.
When she stood by the door, my children laughed at her, and I yelled at her for coming over uninvited.
I screamed at her, “How dare you come to my house and scare my children! GET OUT OF HERE! NOW!!!”
And to this, my mother quietly answered, “Oh, I'm so sorry. I may have gotten the wrong address,” and she disappeared out of sight.

One day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house. So I lied to my wife that I was going on a business trip.
After the reunion, I went to the old shack just out of curiosity.
My neighbors said that she died. I did not shed a single tear.
They handed me a letter that she had wanted me to have.

“My dearest son,
I think of you all the time. I'm sorry that I came to your house and scared your children. I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion.
But I may not be able to even get out of bed to see you.
I'm sorry that I was a constant embarrassment to you when you were growing up.
You see when you were very little, you got into an accident, and lost your eye.
As a mother, I couldn't stand watching you having to grow up with one eye. So I gave you mine.
I was so proud of my son who was seeing a whole new world for me, in my place, with that eye.
With all my love to you,
Your mother.”

SAD RIGHT?!!! i almost cried in the meeting room lor. anyway, the two shows from my last post plus this story all have the same moral behind it which is always cherish the people who u love/ love u before its too late. i really really need to spend more time with my parents.. been neglecting them wayyy too much..

PS i love you

2008-02-20T15:28:00.002+08:00

to those who plan to watch the show, bring countless packs of tissues with you.

to those who don't plan to watch the show, go watch it!! and bring countless packs of tissues with you.

it's been a long long time since i cried so badly in the cinema. went to watch with jace and both of us started sobbing our heads off 5 mins into the show. lolz.

n i just cried while watching the newest episode of [DH], so touching la!! think i'm mad la, keep crying about insignificant things.

but sometimes it just feels so good to cry, its like detoxification for the soul.. or something. i think most girls should know what i mean la.

anyway, will be going genting(again!) on fri with ben, gary and ben's friend, ann. hopefully jace comes along too if not i'll be so scared at night! =x jace, u must come to protect me k!!

2008-02-05T04:40:00.000+08:00

That's what my blog, and also my life, has been lately. And both is probably 'coz I'm so freaking good at procrastinating! I always put off what I should be doing, so I decided to try working harder this year and to do things which actually matter.

I haven't smoked for 11 days!!! Yup, ever since the start of 2008!! So proud of myself, but have a feeling I'm gonna cave in sooner or later, what with all these smoking friends around me.. Ok, proper updates!!

Youth In the Spirit Seminar(061207-091207)

Angele encouraged me to join and even though I've been to many church retreats, I must say that this was the best one so far. Probably 'coz I was 16 and below during the past few camps and didn't really understand much. I guess it's time to make more space for God in my life now.

Our group name/flag

And they had this giant bonfire on the first night, it was so cool!!!!! I think it was the first time I was at a campfire and they asked some Scouts to come help light it up..

Bangkok!!!(201207-241207)

Our first real trip together!!! Genting doesn't count 'coz we didn't take a plane! We were so psyched about it and I can't believe it's over already. Why does time pass so fast?!! Keke, shall let the pictures do the talking.. Since a picture is a thousand words and I have like a thousand pics!!! So.. You do the maths..

Excitedly waiting for our CATHAY PACIFIC ride to Thailand!

The duty-free fags we bought from Changi Airport

It sucked by the way. By our 3rd stick we decided to just give up and buy Thailand cigarettes instead.

Their airport was SO much nicer than I expected/remembered. Seems more developed now.. But it was kinda empty.. Till we got to the checkpoint.. After that waited around for our bus to pick us up.

There were around 20 people in the bus and 3 hotels to drop them off at.The couple in front of us were irritatingly noisy but I thought maybe they were just excited or something. However, on our way back to the airport they were still sitting with us (unfortunately) and they were still annoying. We took like one hour plus to reach our 'hotel'. By that time it was only us left in the bus so obviously our hotel wasn't really a popular choice. The bus stopped a five mins walk away from the hotel and when we got out, all of us were super stunned. It was a dark alley and we didn't even know where to walk. Luckily, the bus driver must have sensed our apprehension and showed us the way.

Ok, when I saw the hotel, it was another shocker. It was actually more like a motel or to be exact, inn. It was called Pratunam City Inn and it looked like Hotel 81.. but worse. There were only 6 storeys and the room was kinda small but by the 2nd day we more or less got used to it and were quite contented lah. So we just unpacked our luggage and went to scout the streets for food!! It was dinner by then anyway.

Our first meal of the trip!!

No. Not the bear. Nothing beats A&W's root beer float and curly fries!! And it was so cheap! But after that we decided to eat more 'quality' food for the next few meals.

Walked around the night market, shopped for afew hours and bought nearly half of thailand on our first night there. Lolz, are we power or what? Although the place was near our inn, we were shagged from all the haggling and walking and carrying of bags so we decided to take a tuk-tuk back, thinking it'd be cheaper than a cab.

Well, it cost us S$1 each which is EXPENSIVE by Thailand's standards!! First ride and we got cheated! Some more they thought the driver was nice and friendly 'coz he had a dog in the tuk-tuk(they just had to choose that one. So cramped already still have to accomodate a dog. I sat as far as possible from the mangy creature.) and he talked to us alot but turned out he was just pervertic!!! If you look at the pics below, he was so totally groping poor ShiWan who was the first to take the pic. Angele and Jas used the stinky dog to create a distance between them and since I wasn't excited about the idea of holding a dog, I just tried to stand as far as possible.

the dog

crampy ride (check out the shopping!)

After that horrible experience, we went back to bath and then chilled in our room. First tried to play mini mahjong, but realised it's freaking hard to hold mj tiles the size of our nails. So we just took a pic and switched to bridge!!! Jace, don't you wish you were there? Lolz.

2nd day, the shopping begins!!!

Isn't their MacDonald cute?? Anyway, they had banana chocolate pie there and it was nice!! Why Singapore don't have?!!

And why sg no pink cabs also??? Though it would be a bad thing coz then I'd just be more tempted to cab everywhere.

We went to a chinese restaurant for lunch. The food was nice and CHEAP so I was kinda too busy eating to take photos.. Hehe.. I only took one of the first dish and (in my opinion) also the best one!!

Oh-so-yummy fish maw soup!!!

Then we took the mrt just for the sake of trying it out, but surprisingly the mrt there costs more than a cab/tuk-tuk!! Taking the MRT one stop cost 15baht each while taking a cab ride for around 15mins only cost 100 baht!!(which is like S$4.50??!) Probably coz of all the jams.. But I felt so heart pain when I came back to sg and paid $17 for a freaking ride to TOWN!! Damn sad can.. Coz of the peak period 35% surcharge.. Now I really think twice when I wanna take cab. Sad.

So old school right?

Other than the farecard, everything else was around the same as sg's mrt.. More modern than I thought it'd be. Went to the higher end shopping centre, Siam Paragon, which is exactly like our Paragon. The stuff there were like Mango, Zara, Dior, Gucci, etc.. Price also around the same as sg. BUT!! We managed to find a shop having warehouse sale and went mad there!! I spent the most there, bought alot of things including a Billabong bareback top which costs like S$8 and a Billabong white denim skirt which costs only around S$15!!! After that the S$400 I changed was nearly gone so over the days I kept changing money till I realised I spent around S$1k there not including the tour package which costs $320!! Heart pain but it was worth it considering the stuff I bought there.. Though it was mostly office wear 'coz I don't really own much of that.

Siam Paragon

They actually had car showrooms inside the shopping centre!! Awesome.

I guess we went at a good time 'coz all the Christmas decorations were up. By the way, if you look at the above pic carefully you'll realise the part where the yellow light is shining is actually a picture of a guy. That's their king. And seriously, I tell you, they are super patriotic!! Earlier on in the day we went to watch [National Treasure 2] (which was not bad), and before the movie started everyone in the cinema had to stand up and listen to what was probably their national anthem while watching pictures of the king flash on the screen!! LOLZ. If we had to do that in sg I'll probably just go late for all the shows. Not that I don't already. =x

Cute 'lil cafe

Thai post box

Girls with shopping bags are always happy!

We saw this poor lil elephant being dragged around by some evil Thai guys. They were selling bananas to passerbys to feed the elephant. We saw the poor baby crying as we walked past.. I dunno why, but it just seems more sad to see animals cry rather than humans. Anyway, I kept thinking of the bottoms peeps 'coz they keep calling me elephant and there are elephants EVERYWHERE in Thailand!!

After we were done shopping we went back to our hotel room.. And when the 4 of us are overseas together.. We definitely must go clubbing!!! Jas and Shiwan checked out all the places even before we went so we decided to go to Bed Supper Club.

Zhi lian-ing in our hotel room after getting ready.

So, we took a cab there and all the way the cab driver was blah-ing about nicer and cheaper places. I actually almost fell for it 'coz I didn't wanna spend too much money on clubbing but luckily SW was experienced and told us not to listen to the cabbies. Anyway, no regrets. Coz the place was nicer than Zouk!!

Outside is like a giant colourful container.

We opened a bottle of Chivas at around S$30 each so it was reasonable lah. At least we has a table, although we shared it with an ang moh and a negro. They were quite friendly and took photos for us. Lolz.

In the trance room.

I didn't take the couple kiss on purpose!! I was actually trying to take a pic of the dancer behind them.

We actually also went clubbing on that day to coincide with Angele's birthday and since it was her birthday, the other 3 of us weren't gonna let her go home sober!! We made her 'da' 22 secs of Chivas. Muahahaha..

Cheers to Angele!
Can smoke inside!!

The toilet

Yes, I know I'm red. Got good blood circulation.

We finished the drinks like in half an hour and the guy beside us was quite impressed. Lolz. After finishing our drinks we went to the R&B room which was much more fun! But seriously, I think we were like the most happening people there. The Thai people just sit or stand around and don't really dance and the ang mohs were not bad but I still think we were better! Haha. We even climbed onto the platform to dance.. Unfortunately, most of the clubbing photos are with Angele and she hasn't sent me the pix yet so ya..

Easier to dance?

After that we all went back, half-drunk(Jas and me) and totally drunk(Angele and SW), in a TUK TUK. Lolz. It would have been cool if we all started puking onto the roads. Or not.

3rd day, to Chatuchak for more shopping!!

Unfortunately, when we reached there it was so hot and crowded that SW fell sick and started puking. So we just walked around like 3 shops and then ate and went back to the hotel.

The little store we ate at.

Back at the hotel, we rested a while, looked at the many stuff we bought at those 3 shops and then went nearby for a massage. It cost like S$5 but it wasn't as good as the one I did in Batam where you could hear all your bones crack. Lolz.

Then we went back to Siam Paragon coz I wanted to check out the sale again. Had a super filling dinner at Sizzler's for like S$10. CHEAP!

While walking, we came across the pet section where there is seriously more than anything a pet ever needs.

It's madness. But kinda made me wish I owned a pet. Better yet, made me wish I were a pet! With the right owner, you can be treated like a king!! Preferably the owner being someone not like me.

After that, we rushed back to the hotel before midnight to give Angele her birthday surprise.

Ice cream and (cheap) beer!

The best part is, we had been looking up and down for the beer opener coz the hotel staff(who were all super friendly) told us it was in the toilet. None of us could find it.

It was right in front of our eyes all along!! Like seriously. We are blind. Chatted for abit then went to bed.

4th day, the REAL shopping begins!!

This was the day we spent the most money. This was also the day I spent 7 hours non-stop shopping, only stopping to eat! Having experienced the heat the day before, we went to 7-11 to prepare ourself with 1l bottles of mineral water. I think it's amazing that 7-11 is everywhere around the world!

That dog is always in front guarding the 7-11 that is nearby our hotel.

Coz we were so busy shopping, I didn't take any photos other than..

Our food!! Yummy!! Makes me hungry looking at it again..

Our 'waiter'

I know he just looks like some bangla here, but he is really adorable!! He is like gay personified!! Lolz. He was super bouncy and helpful lah.

These are courtesy of Jas, Angele and SW. One hour of my life wasted ooh-ing and ahh-ing over these pets. I don't hate them, I'm just.. immune to their cuteness. I mean, cute is cute. The first few that I saw I was kinda interested and all, but for goodness' sake down the stretch there were so many and all of them looked alike!!! They really just stopped at every single cage to look at the animals and *shudder* touch them. I have to make it clear that I didn't touch a single of those dirty creatures. By the way, they are for sale. Yes, they sell almost anything in Chatuchak, including snakes, squirrels, used shoes and other stuff I can't remember.

A treat for you ~~crazy~~ people who adore pets.

A cosy cafe in Chatuchak.

Jas and me are officially the undisputed shopping queens!! Around 4 plus, Angele and SW were too tired and sat down somewhere to rest but Jas and me continued till it closed at 6 plus!!

Our one days worth of shopping.

Went back to the hotel to change and rest before going for dinner at a roadside stall. They had a special menu specially for Singaporeans! We were debating whether the prices inside were different too.

Angele kept taking candid shots of us the whole trip, so it's only fair we get one of her.

Mango stall next to the place we were eating dinner.

After that went for more shopping till the very last stall closed then we realised forgot to do our nails!!! Sad. Went back and chilled out since it was our last day.

2 sets of roomies.

Check out the things she bought! And by the way, she's the one who spent the least. I'm the winner with a grand total of S$1k plus with Jas following closely behind with S$900 plus. I'm so broke now! Lucky I listened to them and asked my mum to bring a luggage bag for me instead of the 2 duffel bags I carried to airport.

And thats finally the end of my Thailand post!! On the day that I started this post (110108), I started smoking again. =( I will be more successful in quitting next time!!

a big big sorry!!

2008-01-28T02:46:00.000+08:00

2007-12-20T02:14:00.000+08:00

i'm leaving for thailand in 12 hours!! so excited!! this is the furthest i'm going with the babes. jas, shiwan n angele are going with me.. too bad the rest can't go too.

actually, i did go to thailand with shiwan before but that was a school trip back in 2000? we were roomies and i was sooo scared of ghosts back then the poor girl had to do everything with me and even held my hand when i slept!! lolz. now, i'm not that scared already la, but i tink i might just have to ask jas to accompany me to the toilet now and then. =X

keke, i'm planning not to sleep and complete [heroes] season one. i'm like, sooo hooked! promise i'll be back with a whole whole load of updates k!!

me, updated.

2007-11-13T08:43:00.000+08:00

i noe i noe. its been ages since i blogged. i shall not come up with the excuse of saying i was busy yet again but instead tell u guys the truth: i was LAZY! coz i realised that u can make time for anything if its really important enough to u.

its been so long since my birthday passed that i've decided not to blog about it. aniwae, i also haven't gotten the photos yet plus most of u were thr and should noe that basically, i was wasted.

during the time that i didn't blog i tot of sooo much to blog about but now i've forgotten everything! *sigh* the perils of being old.

oh ya. watch [stardust]!!! its super nice!!!!very fairy tale like and made me wanna live in a magical land with ancient looking people wearing victorian clothes!! lolz. where's my prince charming??? oh ya, he's in taiwan filming [iswak2].. hahaha.. =x

really been doing nothing much besides working n catching up with ppl. i seriously tink i'm becoming depressed ever since i joined the insurance line. sianz. really dunno if its the rite thing for me. i seem to b different from the ppl thr. maybe i'm too lazy or maybe they're all super ambitious but i juz can't click with some of them. i wish von was with me den we can encourage each other. c how la ah..

bottoms up has been fun of coz but i'm gonna quit in dec. SAD. but for my future's sake i have to do it. too much drinking n smoking will kill me and the late nights r giving me pimples and making me age like nobodys business. btw, i'm at bottoms now. hah. terrible. to justify myself though, later i'm having an appt at raffles place so here nearer ma. =x

i'll prob still come down when i quit but not as often plus i won't b drinking so much and hopefully oso quit smoking by den, so it won't be as jialat.

y can't i juz b young forever?!!!!! i'm being forced to grow up.

k la, dun like to use laptop. pics up soon. =)

turn back time

2007-10-20T09:58:00.000+08:00

i really wish i could.

i hate being old and having to have so much responsibility.
i hate all the complex feelings i feel which i would never feel when i was younger.
i hate not being able to act like a kid without being called childish.

i miss primary school where everything was simple.
i miss secondary school when i could just hang out with the girls without a care in the world.
i miss the times when my parents could just pick up the pieces for me.
i miss the me i used to be.

i wish i didn't have to grow up to realise the world is full of materialistic and superficial people.
i wish i am not one of them.

i blinked.

2007-10-05T05:42:00.000+08:00

and suddenly i'm 22 already. i feel so old!! updates on my birthday as soon as i get the pix. those who were there should know it wasn't a pretty sight. hehe.

in view of the events that happened, i guess the time has finally come for me to grow up? as much as i wanna be young forever, i've come to realise my decisions not only affect me but others around me too. sad. time for me to forget things that should've long been forgotten too..

ANYWAY. i just cried coz lynette has cancer!! [DH] is so sad!! i started on season 4 already.. yup, that's what i've been busy with.. besides work and play and work of coz.

be back soon.
