it's been awhile since i last posted i know.. well. it's not really my fault.. first the internet was down. and now my comp is down.. soo i have no choice but to use my sister's comp secretly.. hahas.. bet she'll murder me if she sees this post. i guess she'll never read this anyway... well, if u do then thankss dearie :)
been back for a month.. or rather one month and one week.. how time flies. still feeling quite slack.. i think it's really time i did sth rather than laze ard.. but i'm simply too lazy. well, looks like the only things that keep me going are my daily workout plans.. which has been more or less spoilt by the rain. haiz. hopefully i'll emerge healthier after this hols. hahas.. discipline! heh.. hmmz.. and i guess the other thing that's keeping me going is prolly channel 55. hahas.. the shows are really quite nice. love dreams of colours.. it's got my fav actress.
been going back to stnicks quite abit.. helping my mum while she trains.. not helping much though. just watching. hahas.. realise how much the school has changed and how old we've all becomed. especially looking at the sec ones.. makes me feel really old. one of these days i shall go back tj too.
it's been nice catching up and chatting with everyone else.. just hope the weather stays fine over the next few days so our ubin trip can take off. yes sue? hahas. and potluck as well.. can't wait for the weekend.. it's gonna be exciting. and hopefully can meet up with the rest of the sclub peeps..ooh.. and thanks wilf for the photos and tiramisu.. yums!

realised i haven't been posting..thanks sue for the reminder. hahas..been busy travelling totally neglected my blog.. oxford, chelsea, brighton, greece and off to norway tonight.. or rather this morning.. think i'm getting quite tired of travelling.. especially the times when u are literally 'travelling'.. haiz.. can't imagine more bus rides to and from standsted and more train rides..
well, i would say greece was quite fun.. one of the better trips so far.. coz it was at a more relaxed pace.. unlike the past few checkpoint travels we had. santorini and mykonos was really pretty.. sunny beaches, ferry rides, cheap cocktails, clubbing island.. imagine clubbing at the beach, clubbing again from 3am to 10am.. the people there don't come out til past 1am.. and they just don't need to sleep. hahas.. managed to get a tan.. yay. but i'm starting to peel again.. i just super prone to sunburnt and peeling.. sobs. oh wells.. athens was pretty alright.. nothing spectacular despite all the talk about the temple of zeus and panthenon.. plus the olympic stadium was closed to visitors.. so yeah.. cldn't visit the athens 2004 stadium that i hoped to..sigh.
uploaded new pictures..as requested by dear sue.. hahas.. hopefully all things go well in norway. and nothing goes missing again.. bleahs

it's been ages since i last posted.. been too lazy to blog ever since exams started. well, they're finally over..like finally.. after somewhat like 2 months? i wouldn't say the exams were fantastic. but i guess they were alright. hahas.. just glad that they're over. oh wells, the last few days have been nothing more than house hunting.. it's quite tough looking for a decent place that fits all our criteria..and it's much tougher looking for a place for four than i thought. at least got the house settled today.. hopefully nothing goes wrong and we can get the contract signed soon.. it's been such a traumatic experience calling up agents after agents. especially when they're racist! hahas. really looking forward to the rest of this summer.. oxford tmr, brighton on monday, greece for a week and norway after that.. it's really quite exciting. hee. ooh.. and i'll be back in sin.. can't wait. think i'm so fickle minded when it comes to gg back to sin.. felt like i've changed my flight a million times.. ok.. it's now confirmed..11th june. so that makes it.. 24 days to singapore! ahh.

goodbye indoors, hello outdoors..

goodbye leotards, hello mini-skirts..

2005-04-18T02:17:00.000+08:00

having chicken briyani while typing this..yup.. i know i shouldn't be eating all these spicy food with the number of ulcers (12 and counting..ouch!) but haven't had briyani for sucha long long time.. heck.. newae i think they're recovering.. so yea. hahas. ulcers totally suck. imagine.. 2 right smack in the middle of ur lower lip.. 2 inside ur lower lip, 3 on the tip of ur tongue, 2 under the left side of ur tongue, 2 under the right side of ur tongue, 1 on the side of ur left tongue and one where your wisdom tooth is trying to squeeze out.. and yes. plus ur squeezing out wisdom tooth and swollen gum.. it can't get worse.. no food for me last week except rice in egg sauce and more rice in egg sauce. until the chinahouse person knows what you're eating.. hahas. bad bad bad. well, at least they have finally stop spreading. like after 3litres of water a day, millions of salt rubbing, and faithfully applying bonjela every 3hours..i never felt so disciplined. blahz. newaez trying out depa tandoori for the first time.. this it's not bad. though i think motihjeel is still better. i miss prata!! or the way they call it here..parata.. hahas
oh wells, exams in 2 weeks time.. and the state i'm in.. i shall not comment and work harder.. much harder.. so long as i pass.. hopefully i can.. sigh. well, haven't been studying alot this weekend.. it's gonna be a long long night ahead of me.. official time now.. 7.24.. 8 hours from now shall be muggin muggin and more muggin..
suddenly realise soccer can get quite addictive.. maybe it's part and parcel of immersing into the brit culture..watched fa cup semis this afternoon.. man u vs newcastle.. it was quite a good match..nice goals (yeah that's the only thing i look out for in soccer)..hahas.. and watched championships.. too bad bayern lost.. haiz.. but it was indeed a very exciting match..so yeah.. the best invention?? internet and cool streaming! hahas.. yes.. cool streaming above skype now.
another addiction? macdonalds' breakfast!! yes.. picture this.. woke up: 1017, left home: 1023, eating egg macmuffin: 1027.. eating sausage egg macmuffin with egg: 1030.. why? coz mac's breakfast ends at 1030. hahas.. ran from hall all the way to kings cross for macs.. seriously.. i've nv imagined myself doing that and i totally can't believe what i did.. simply wanted to eat hotcakes so desperately.. in the end hotcakes sold out.. so... it'll be macs again tmr.. pancakes with syrup! yums!! and yes.. which means it'll be gym time again.. but for now... it's b01..

2005-04-11T02:07:00.000+08:00

yes yes.. i shall start updating before my blog really becomes dead. well, been too caught up with perloff, blanchard and miles and scott i guess. sigh. exams in 3 weeks time? stress stress stress. i need to be more productive! bleahs alrights.. here's some update for u folks back home..
apparently winter's back in london. hail on sat and it snowed again yesterday. yes.. it's snowing in april.. temperatures.. sub zero? thrusday's weather forecast..."winter's back in london, wintery showers are expected over the weekend" yeah.. so that was the miserable weekend we had. i wonder when it'll be warm.. sun rises at 6, sets at 8.. but why are temperatures still so low? i need to get out for a run.. i need exercise! hmmz.. oh wells, at least it's not as gloomy as before..
uploaded easter hols photos.. the trip went pretty well. milan was quite disappointing though.. duomo under renovation.. and the pigeon-feed seller who conned us 15euros.. hahas..but tt's just italy.. can't be helped i guess. be careful next time.. vienna and salzburg was really nice.. gotta say austria is sucha pretty place. the variety of desserts and cakes are simply unbelieveable. the streets are like lined with cafes and konditoreis.. if i stayed there any longer i'm sure to put on weight. hahas. went cycling a couple of times.. one of the few adventurous holidays.. cycling while sightseeing. didn't know austria was a cycling cty though. but it was a good experience.. at least it gave our legs a rest after all the walking...can't help it when u're "checkpoint" travellers like us. i guess the highlight of the trip would have been the sound of music tour.. makes me feel like watching the show again. love the songs.. and all the scenes. the lakes, gazebo, crossing the alps.. blah blah blah.. maybe i'll return again someday.
next trip to look forward to.. greece! well, booked tixs this morning.. yay! can't wait til exams end..and we can go tanning on the greek islands. hahas. and.. when are u coming sue?? can't wait.. hee. oh wells..meanwhile.. back to reality.. it's econs time again. yes.. miles and scott..

2005-03-18T04:02:00.000+08:00

yes sue.. i shall blog. it's been ages since i last blogged i know.. but all the essays are driving me nuts. well, first there was staff research interview, then the book review and london coursepaper. well, at least i'm done with them now, after what seemed like forever. and yes, i can finally get down to econs. exams in less than 2 months time.. i think i'm so so dead. haiz.
oh wells, since i'm waiting for my porridge..i shall continue typing..i swear i'll never go back to yens again.. argh.. the horrible hor fun that gave me a tummyache and diarrhoea. gross! tonight shall be healthy porridge night. hahas. oh wells, to think that i welcome spring with a tummy upset. sobs sobs. but it's true that spring transforms people.. temperatures are up to 18 degrees now.. and finally.. 2 layers instead of 3.. spring jackets instead of dull coats.. visits to parks and road side cafes instead of rushing indoors after lectures..hahas. spring is here! it's so exciting.. and the sun's shining right through my room i could literally sun tan on my bed. hahas.. great.
well, 2 more days to london games, 5 more days to end of term and 14 days to austria.. hopefully all turns out fine. yeah..and realised my sis went for alan tham and hacken lee's concert, bought a new ipod mini and god knows what... life is never fair..

2005-02-25T16:52:00.000+08:00

my original friday plans..gym, staff research interview, netball, crush... after the collision.. it's become, econs, staff research interview, and more econs. sigh. hopefully our 'chillout' will be successful but... i doubt. oh wells, or maybe i shld go swimming? does it have a therapeutic effect? hmmz.. or maybe i shld just stay home and complete all my tutorials. 3 more essays to go before end of term and 2 more assignments..and london walks.. stressed!!
cheese: "geog people have alot of work rite?"
plin:"no... it's the geog-econ people who have alot of work."
well, life is never fair. but at least there are the trips and weekends to look forward to. planning for easter.. milan, vienna, salzburg.. shld i go? do i even have to think so much? why is there so much to consider? i hate making such choices..
yes.. and it's snowing again..and one of the best feelings is to wake up, look out of the window and see snow falling all around you.. it's been snowing non-stop for the past week.. and an abnormal sight in central london. the best thing to do when it's snowing outside is to just stay in and hibernate. hahas.
snow isn't a novelty anymore when it drags on for hours without signs of stopping
no matter how heavy it snows in london, it never accumulates
walking over a snow plain means risking urself stepping into a cracking river ice sheet
london city airport is closed coz of the heavy snow today
and so are the motorways between south-east and london
you can never feel lonelier than watching the snow alone from your window
when the snow storm comes.. you wish you didn't have to go to school
and you end up buying 50p milk coz you refuse to walk to sains or safeway
what's worse.. it's been predicted that this is gonna last thru the weekend..
how did the pretty sight of snow turn into such a nuisance?

2005-02-08T22:29:00.000+08:00

it's new year's eve.. but there's hardly any festive mood here except for the cny quiz that's going on over magix radio. first chinese new year away from home feels farnie heh.. after 19 years of my life...i'll miss all the new year goodies. new year songs, chatting sessions, card sessions.. sigh. feels so odd. no reunion dinner for the next three years, and no celebrations.. and it's always such times that makes you miss home even more. argh.. if only reading week were one week earlier i'll definately be back in sin.. looks like even reunion dinner tonight is going to be steak or pizza. sobs..
oh wells, visited steph and janice in warwick over the weekend. it's great catching up with them again. gotta say warwick uni has a really nice campus. reminds me of ntu somehow...the building styles and slopes.. hmmz.. leads me to think if a campus based school were better than one in central london. well, at least we've got food any time of the day to satisfy the always hungry me. hahas. but it was an adventure indeed. missed our bus back frm stratford to leamington, had to take a later bus back to coventry from leams and in the end we reached london 2 hours later on a later national express coach. all thanks to the inefficient bus services that runs once every 2 hours. i wonder how can the people who lives there depend on their bus services. what's new in uk anyway?
looking forward to reading week.. can't wait to go travel prague and budapest. hee. it's getting quite exciting. hopefully the trip turns out well..

2005-02-03T08:08:00.000+08:00

And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...
And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the timeAnd so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...
Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind...
My mind...my mind...
'Til I find somebody new

2005-01-24T04:50:00.000+08:00

firstly.. i ought to thank kelda for changing my blog layout and background.. but ahem.. it's a little to plain ain't it? and why exit?? oh wells...i shldn't complain.. thanks anyway =)
well, the week's been pretty normal. school and essays as usual. i would say i'm quite pleased with my current timetable. it makes one more efficient when lessons don't spread over the whole entire afternoon with 2hours breaks in between. took a brave walk down king's cross, islington and the areas around farringdon yesterday. can't believe i did it all by myself. at least it was a bright sunny afternoon. if it were any time after 5 i would have freaked out.. it was really an eye opener seeing the other side of london. witnessed 3 young boys stealing apples from a grocer. doubt they were even 5 or 6 and and this is what they do. it's such a pity. and the apples weren't all.. they probably took a bar of choc or 2 earlier coz chocolate was smeared all over their mouths..
hmm... and my latest addiction..maple story! yes.. the highly addictive mushroom game.. duh?

2005-01-11T15:11:00.000+08:00

When you're close to tears remember

Someday it'll all be over

One day we're gonna get so high

Though it's darker than December

What's ahead is a different colour

One day we're gonna get so high
And at the end of the day remember the days

When we were close to the end

And wonder how we made it through the night

At the end of the day

Remember the way

We stayed so close to the end

We'll remember it was me and you
Cause we are gonna be

Forever, you and me

You will

Always keep it flying high in the sky of love

2005-01-10T10:36:00.000+08:00

the hols just came and went.. and sch's starting again tmr.. 3 weeks of hols is definately too short. sigh. back in cold and dark london.. back in my little cosy room.. walked frm hall to bond street and back, did my weekly pilgrimage to sainsbury, check mails, msn, webct, mails, msn, intranet.. argh. what's new?
what's on tmr? london lect at a horrible time of 4-5.. heading for lecture in the dark.. think i'm still super not used to the gloomy weather yet. the xmas sale is still on with very little things left on the shelves. though i managed to get some stuffs yesterday. think i can never finish shopping.
the hols were alright i guess though i really wished i could spend more time in sin.. didn't eat my fav yong tau hoo in the end, and no yakun.. really missed those 2 alot. and couldn't meet up with ex-11.. sorry guys.
well, really enjoyed macau.. think the food there is better than hk. hahas. esp the egg rolls.. yums. and pigs buns? hahas. hk was alright.. though diarrhoea is sth u will nv want to have when in hk.. sigh. but piggy me didn't really care newae.
xmas and ny passed in a rather quiet fashion. maybe it was tsunami, maybe it's just me.. well, it's the first year i haven't written any xmas cards or bought any xmas gifts. just felt too tired to do ath.. but the celebration was good. caught glimpses of andy lau.. not tt i really like him. but it's always nice to see stars live in action.
why am i still up at 3am? i dunno..newae thanks for the letters.. though i hope the effects are not temporary...ahh.. i hate being unglam.

2004-12-15T07:12:00.000+08:00

finish the path you choose

the choice that you make

a promise you will not break

go down this road u must take

follow your heart instead

ignore the voice in your head

a leap of faith this is it

it's all within you now..

2004-12-13T08:21:00.000+08:00

5 days to singapore, 6 days to hongkong.. this is indeed quite exciting. hahas.. finally settled the scholarly report essay outline. shall begin on my essay tmr..
went to birmingham today... and uploaded new pics.. birmingham is quite nice.. considering the fact tt it's an industrial city. it's a nice place to walk around.. esp with the german christmas fair.. the food was great. frankfurters, salami pretzels, garlic bread, crepes.. can't believe we actually went back for 2 rounds of frankfurters and garlic bread.. yums. and the shopping there is great too.. bullring rocks. and thanks to the guys who are gonna change my style for me.. i bought another orange red jacket which i already have afew similar ones.. is tt changing my style? sigh. but it's a really pretty sweater.. and tried on the suits at topshop.. maybe it's really time to change my style.. and get rid of my blacks!

2004-12-10T22:49:00.000+08:00

i'll remember the kachang putih and atap chee..

i'll remember being scalded by your iron..

i'll remember watching my first movie with you..

i'll remember my first mrt ride..

i'll remember the neo-print tt 3 of us took together..

i'll remember all the sleepovers..

i'll remember the way you put everything in place..

i'll remember the constant supply of jack and jill..

i'll remember how i have to put everything back in order..

i'll remember your smile..

i'll remember how you've touched my life..

i'll remember you forever..

i miss you

2004-12-03T17:16:00.000+08:00

can't believe another week has passed. and i'll be back in sin in 2 weeks time. the days here are seriously zooming by.. lessons, b01, gym, eat, sleep, lessons, bo1, gym, eat, sleep and a week's gone by. sometimes i feel like i'm wasting my life sitting here typing. i need to do sth more constructive! well, finally done with b01. so what's going to happen next week's probably..lessons, india, gym, eat, sleep, lessons, india again, eat and sleep. sigh..life of a miserable student in london.. oh wells. can't wait for hols to come.. but how much do i really want to be back? i really don't know. maybe i'll feel more excited bt home as 17th draws closer. but knowing that there's a pile of readings to be done and scholarly report to be written over xmas is super demoralising. mugging while on holidays is terrible. my gosh. well, hopefully i can complete as much as i can before going back. sigh
well, this weeks' been a lotsa dinners week which is really good for a self-catered person like me.. hahas. as shujun say, "don't u feel popular leisha..since we have so many dinners to attend?" hahas... actually kinda. and all the food's really good. went to belgos on monday. the mussles were fantastic considering the amount of shellfish i ever take. roast duck, chix, goats' cheese.. and how could we forget the fruit beers. yums! it's making me hungry again. we must go back there soon! hmmz.. then there was misato on wed with the netballers, yest with the production ppl, tmr's ocf party, sunday's dinner at gavin's place. 5 out of 7 days.. cool, i don't have to cook! not like i cook alot anyway.
to outdoorers: just discovered that the cd u guys gave me actually contained a ppt with what u guys said. i thot it was just voice recording.. and i was like where's jxl's? hahas. now i know... sorry for realising only after so long. it's horribly sweet.. so sweet that it made me cry again. miss you all lots.

so much reminiscing.. why did you do that when you know how influencial your words are to me? really treasured all the times we spent together too.. miss you..

The Inner You: Your Real Motivation
You are a gambler and an adventurer at heart, one who loves to take risks, to discover and explore new worlds, and to take the untried path rather than the safe, reliable one. You are an independent soul, freedom-loving, and often very restless. You need a lifestyle that provides opportunities for travel, movement, change, and meeting new people. A steady routine which offers much in the way of security but little in the way of space and freedom is odious to you.
Mental Interests and Abilities
You possess vision and foresight, and your mind is often occupied with big ideas, plans, and goals for the future. You are interested in what is possible and what is on the horizon, rather than what has already been done. The study of philosophy, religion, politics, or education is of interest to you, and you are more concerned with theories and concepts than with specific applications. You are not inclined to focus on any one practical, concrete area; you find it irksome to deal with details and particulars. You have a gambling instinct and enjoy speculative enterprises and new ventures. Business, advertising, and promotion would be good areas for you also.

that's me.. but study of religon and politics? maybe it's not so true afterall. hahas.. oh wells, an hour's time to pagoda street's matinee. and one more show to the finale.. busy and tired.. yes. but all the efforts's worth it...it's a great show!! and not forgetting the kaya toasts, egg tarts, char siew buns, yeo's, pandan cake, lao po bing, mooncake... yums!

2004-11-14T08:26:00.000+08:00

realised i haven't blogged for some time. hahas. suddenly realise how time flies. i'll be back in sin in 32 days times? my gosh. when it feels like i've only been here yesterday. well, the last week's been a busy busy one.. went travelling around uk. which is quite good. stonehenge, bath, cambridge. though stonehenge and bath was a disappointment.. must have been the weather. but cambridge was really pretty. it's such a small and compact town but they have everything in there. and river cam is really serene. notts games today was a freezing and tiring experience.. never played netball in the cold.. and it was really cold. hahas. numb and chapped fingers..bleahs okies.. birthday wishes gg out to angie.. happy birthday girl..miss ya lots. jia you for exams ok.. i'll be using ur pretty scarf soon coz the weather here's getting colder and colder by the day. but u forgot to teach me how to wrap it. to esther.. hope u had a great birthday too.. really miss you alot. can't believe how long we've known each other.. it feels like forever. really really thankful to have such a great friend. besties always! *hugs*
suddenly got this very unexcited feeling bt gg back to sin in dec. why is it so? shldn't i be happy that i'm going back for christmas? what's happening? someone please enlighten me..

2004-11-03T05:05:00.000+08:00

finally after 12 hours, my wag essay is done.. can't believe i've been doing my essay since 8 this morning. okay..though i've been in and out quite afew times.. but seriously the referencing is driving me nuts. realised i stupidly returned the books i borrowed without recording the page numbers..and end up having to run back to the library again. sigh. i hate referencing! darns. and there's still a referencing exercise due next mon. imgaine an exercise based on nth but references?
anyways.. it's mum's birthday today.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! ok.. if u'll even see this.. oh wells, can't wait for u guys to come. which means it'll be reading week! haha..why do the econs ppl seem so slack whereas the econsgeogers have never ending readings to do? blehs.
well, shall do a quick update here..hyde park on sunday was good.. had a mini picnic which was not really a picnic afterall, we just sat there and finished the biscuits and fruits we brought. played soccer for awhile and now i've got a bruise on my shin. thanks to jieqi. ouch. just uploaded hyde parks pics. yups.. do check them out..hahas. well, headed for oxford after tt.. wanted to shop but by the time we got there the shops were closing.
ooh...uploaded boat party's pictures too.. credits to weilin and jieqi.. thanks for the pretty pics!
celebrated andrea's birthday yesterday.. had dinner at busaba. it's a really cool place and the food there is good. thai fusion i think.. who cares so long as the food's nice. hahas. haven't had thai food for a long time.. tried phad thai and green curry rice.. yums!

all of us at busaba!

back at canterbury..

2004-10-31T13:32:00.000+08:00

been a most chaotic weekend.. started with short circuit in my room.. thanks to the iron i had no comp, no music, no boiled water, no hair dryer and no charging of phones for a day.
well, the trip out to kent was pretty alright i guess except for the mad rush in the morning. never ran that much in my life to board a coach. and it didn't happen once. it happened twice. super tiring..especially with all that muscleache from yesterday's ulu classes. hmm.. but the trip there was worthwhile. finally got to see the coast at dover..english channel. the next place i want to visit will be brighton. hee.
but a lesson learnt.. or rather many lessons learnt. set an earlier leaving time or else everyone will be late. and literally everyone was late. imagine being able to set off only at 850 when we were supposed to meet at 830. obviously we were gonna be running for our lives. we should give each other morning calls as alarms always never work on such occasions. we should travel in smaller groups or else everyone will just end up walking seperate ways. it's impossible for all 10 ppl to compromise..and i shldn't come back so late frm canterbury anymore. hahas.
okies.. just uploaded today's pictures.. dover is sucha pretty place.. plus the fine weather.. it was indeed the best day out to date. hmm.. picnic tmr? hyde park? st jame's park? err..
ooh.. and it's halloween to day.. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

2004-10-29T05:49:00.000+08:00

You light up another cigarette
and I pour the wine
It's four o'clock in the morning
and it's starting to get light now
I'm right where I want to be
losing track of time
but I wish that it was still last night
You look like you're in another world
but I can read your mind
how can you be so far away
lying by my side
when I go away I'll miss you
and I will be thinking of you
every night and day just ...
Promise me you'll wait for me
'cos I'll be saving all my love for you
and I will be home soon
Promise me you'll wait for me
I need to know you feel the same way too
and I'll be home, I'll be home soon

just uploaded pictures taken yesterday.. well, despite the rain it was quite a good day out. covered quite afew places in like 6 hours? went to portobello, westminster and big ben in the morning..then to harrods and arsenal. portobello was kinda disappointing. maybe it's coz of the rain, most of the stalls were 'half alive' so yeah.. but we had a hearty brunch so i guess it compensated for our journey there. hee. i guess i would go back to portobello again..when the weather's better and when u're not with a bunch of guys who don't know how to appreciate bric-a-brac.
though i think the guys are not much better than girls.. at some times i think they're even more 'gu niang' then us. sigh..to a certain extent i felt like i was out with 5 other girls who can never make decisions. well, at least girls only can't make decisions when shopping.. they cldn't even decide whether to buy a day pass or a weekend pass? hmm..which tube station should we go to? and taking photos in harrod's lift, on the escalator was the best. hahas..oh well.. guys are sometimes more immature then they look. anyways.. really enjoyed myself yesterday, however, only managed a glimpse of arsenal fc..the person didn't let us in coz they were bt to close. and he made us walked a mile to the souvenir shop..sigh. but i bought my pretty pin to add to my collection. i shall start collecting all fc's pins. hahas. expensive investment..
i'm praying hard it doesn't rain ltr.. coz i really wanna go out.. since i bought a weekend pass rite? might as well make full use of it. hahas. where shall we go? shakespear globe? tate modern? or oxford street? *beams*

this post is specially dedicated to our qm:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LYNDA!! *big hugs*
it's been great having you around. will always remember the chit-chat sessions and letters. stay bubbly yes. tenh-sisters forever! love ya lots! (:
can't believe how time flies. been in london for a month..but somehow it doesn't feel like a month. seems like i just arrived or sth. there's still so much to explore..hahas. quite glad everything's fine so far, able to settle in quite well, and i think i'm starting to like this place more. oh wells, pavoni's tutorial is sucha headache. thanks to stefan else i'll prolly still be stuck at god knows what question. oops.. there's a fire somewhere..4 fire engines just sped past judd street. hee. for once sirens are going off for a purpose.
well, went down to tot court today..as usual, wanted to get biscuits from simply food. but...mini fruitty tarts-sold out, milk choc digestives-sold out, jam sandwich-sold out, basically everything i wanted was not available. sigh. bought flapjack mini bites in the end. well, it's not too bad, it can't be since it's frm marks and spencer. haha i'm biased. but it's super ex la.. no choice or else my trip down would be wasted. when is their biscuit stock coming in? and how come they don't sell crunch sandwich when it's sold in singapore? strange. sigh.. the food at marks and spencer runs out so fast you have to go before 5pm or else u'll be left with the day's remainders.
hmmz.. did my isic. spent 7quids and the counter person spelt university wrongly. university became unversity. urgh. and he didn't want to change it for me, insisting that it doesn't matter coz no one looks at i anywayt. haiz. i don't even know when i'll use it and if it's even useful unless i were to travel or sth then i'll get discounts i guess.
it's finally friday.. can't wait til the weekend and it'll be play time! can't wait til reading week. hahas. i wanna go to spain! spain anyone? spain, prague, nice, switzerland, scotland, so many places that i wanna go..
where are you when i needed you most? *

2004-10-20T05:41:00.000+08:00

can't believe the amount i spent today.. i think i'm so dead..well, shopping list for the day: new shoes, light blue track pants, clothes rack, table lamp...starbucks coffee, apple cinammon muffin, and primavera pizza for dinner! spent almost 50quids today. sigh. ooh.. had my fav sandwich again. it's getting cheaper by the day. think the seller recognise me now.. he charged me 1.80 today.. so the price of spinach, avocado and bacon sandwich has dropped frm 2.50 to 2.30 to 2.00 to 1.80 today! haha.. the cheaponess in me is showing up again. ooh.. and he gave me more than usual. i shld go back more often then i'll get a greater discount. well, but this also shows their inconsistency in prices. apparently they just say any amount they want to charge..sigh. but the person was very nice today. hee. he toasted the bread for no extra charge.
well, feeling much healthier after this morning's run. ran to burnswick square..then ran 10 rounds around the park. thot i prolly covered 3km if one round around the park was 300m..but according to sim.. one round is only 260-270m.. which means i only ran max 3.2 inclusive of the jog there and back. which is so sad. haiz. and silly kp jogged to regent's park instead. if only i decided to jog to regent's park then we could have jogged together.
looks like i better start saving from tmr onwards..blehs. save up for the weekend. hee. looking forward to netball tmr..can't believe it la.. i nv even want to touch netball in singapore and i'm playing here. gosh. but i think it'll be fun. hopefully it will be. hahas.
ooh.. shall go have my lao po bing and pia resources essay ltr..thanks kp for the po luo bao and lao po bing!

2004-10-19T06:11:00.000+08:00

well, more people than i expected are reading this. if u're reading this mimi.. hello! hahas. oh wells, just completed b12 tutorial. shall take a break now. missed investment soc today.. replaced it with a nice dinner instead..did the bad thing of dining at canterbury again. proper food is so much better than sandwiches. hahas. i made the right choice of skipping invest soc for chix pie and broccoli. hopefully this would be the only time this week that i'll be dining there since dinner plans have already been made from tmr til thurs.
went back to my fav wot the dickens for spinach, avocado and bacon toasties today and the guy gave me a discount coz he saw me carrying my books and asked me if i was a student. saved me 30p in the end.. not bad huh. that's like one dollar sin. hahas. thanks to my stack of books manx. blehz.
hmmz...sch was alright. as usual, it's our piaing monday.. 4 hours of lect and wag. the most tiring day of all. i'm glad it's over. well, international problems as usual was the most stressful session with alan gilbert not substantiating his point again. sigh.. which means more readings..but he was really funny too. "children as expensive to support...they are the ones who persuade parents to buy a bigger house, they're the ones who persuade their parents to buy bigger cars...the teenagers these days spent their parents' money on branded clothes that can't even spell simple words by putting the 'u' and 'c' the other way round..." how rubbish could he get? the whole lt just roared with laughter. he's quite a farnie man actually.
gotta get back to my readings soon.. and the half done essay.. which question should i choose? overpopulation? resources? arghh...

2004-10-18T06:20:00.001+08:00

hmmz.. munching on cookies as i'm typing this.. argh. this is bad. well, just came back from dinner at canterbury. sorry guys for intruding again. but dinner was really good. hahas. alright at least i've been having proper food the last 2 days.. very proper... had indian food at motijheel yesterday. the food there is really good and relatively cheap too. love the tandoori chix masala. hahas. even ate prata! my gosh.. miss prata so much. think i'll go back for more soon. actually, it's not that fantastic and it's super ex.. 1.50quids.. but it's the only place to get prata..so i'll visit it often. argh.. i miss causurina prata and jalan kayu curry!
went to chiltern with ulu mountaineering club for day trip today.. it's great to be out in the country, rolling meadows, grazing sheep, away from all the dust and grime.. trekked up to ivinghoe beacon..it's so scenic, the view is simply breathtaking. haven't trekked for so long, really missed those trekking days. suddenly got reminded of ayam and stong as i was walking up and realised how much i miss our expedition days. think i went on and on bt trgs it must have bored kp.. hahas. went to the pub in tring after that. pub food is really quite good. ate a kids meal for 3.95quids. chips, sausages and beans. yums. looks like today's work out has just gone down the drain. ha. i still can't believe that pubs serve kid's meal. and imagine what was the most prominent sign in front of the pub? it was not the name of the place but the sign which said: "CHILDREN WELCOME!" i guess this explains the brits' pub culture.. when kids are exposed to such environments from such a young age. imagine babies' meals? hahas.
took a trip out to stratford and warwick yesterday. it's two really pretty towns too. did some shopping in stratford and i bought a new jacket..again. haha..but i love it so much. it has my fav hood. bwah. a weekend filled with travelling.. it's quite tiring actually. i guess from next week onwards i'll keep saturday for travel and sunday for rest. yeah. and so i won't have wet shoes for monday!
to cyan: hey soulmate! it's always great chatting with you. i'm glad to always have you by my side, listening to my heart! thanks for listening my dear...i know i can always count on you for a heart-to-heart talk.. love and miss ya lots! *hugs*

2004-10-16T06:36:00.000+08:00

acid rain's killing my hair.. argh.. to think that hard water was bad... i think the rain here is worse. it's been raining everyday. and this is gonna last til 22nd. i haven't even had the chance to dry my umbrella. hate the gloomy weather. well, maybe this is just london. drizzles, gloomy, sunny for half an hour, gloomy, drizzle for 15 mins, sunny for half hour, rain for 1 hour, gloomy, then sunny, and drizzle again all taking place within a day.sigh..
went down chinatown and had dinner at wong hei's today. had hor fun and sweet and sour pork. it's not really that good actually, but compared to sandwiches, it's so much better. can't wait til december.. when we can go pig out in hong kong. hahas. ahhh.. i feel like a fat pig already, been eating and eating and not exercising. shared a whole entire apple cinnamon cheesecake with kaiping and shujun this afternoon.. how sinful. sigh. i better start working out again. sobs. haiz.. i'm just such a sucker for marks and spencer... at first it was their biscuits, then it was their choc, and oven meals... now their cheesecake as well. this is bad.. well, hopefully tmr's walks and sunday's hikes would be sufficient exercise. hahas.
ooh..and i realised that biscuits here don't turn soft even if there're left exposed to the air. left a whole box of cookies opened on my table and they still remained as crunchy. yums. and of course chocolate here doesn't melt. so milk choc digestives are the best!!

2004-10-14T23:24:00.000+08:00

can't believe the last time i blogged was like one week ago? starting to feel that time flies in london. but since it's my dear sea spec's birthday today.. i shall wish our bb a happie happie birthday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY !! *big hugs*
well, whoever said that studying in uk was slack? it's not at all. just completed econs tutorial and there's 3 more essay plans to be done. sigh. yes.. the books are starting to pile higher than the food in my room! which is super sad..can't wait for the weekend.. the only time we can slack. haha.. looking forward to my warwick and stratford trip. cheers! we are finally making our way out of london and away from pollution. weekdays shall be devoted to work and weekends will be play. *hahas*
hmm.. the last week was a busy but fruitful one i guess. the weekends were no more than shopping at our favourite camden market. the things there are actually not cheap and in fact more expensive than oxford street. disappointing manx. thought i could pick up some cheap stuffs.. but in the end only bought hangers.. lame.. 7 for one pound which is not that cheap either. but it was nice walking around anyway. cooked our own pasta and made salad that night. thanks to andrea and kaiping's help. and baked brownies too. my first attempt at baking brownies. turned out quite well under kp's guidance. but how sinful..gosh.
went shopping at topshop on monday.. 20% discount for students. bought my pretty white coat! love it alot.. haha..though i'm still finding an opportunity to wear it. hee. bought a purse too.. and the stupid cashier forgot to remove the electronic tag. had to make a trip back in the end to get it removed. was super pissed. i could have just took the purse without paying lor.. so much for being honest rite? actually i shld have demanded for a discount. hmmz..
fresher's ball on tues was quite cool..ministry of sound is really damn hip..they actually have different sections playing different kinds of music.. quite unusual huh.. catering to all tastes manz. really enjoyed myself. sorry guys for being such a pest before hand.
to sx: thanks anyway for being so obliging! actually i never expected you to go anyway.
but felt so cheated that we paid 20 pounds for tix when we could have entered for 8quids. still can't figure out why we were so silly to fund the union when we don't even use their facilities. haiz. well, it was dancing with the rest! especially weilin, shiying and tientien.. we'll take the podium again next time okies!? it was fun dancing with the rest of the guys too.. it was really quite a blast.
this is indeed a very long entry. whoever's reading this should be rewarded. hahas. i better get back to blanchard soon. bleahs.

2004-10-07T07:27:00.000+08:00

realised i haven't been updating regularly. shall do a quick update now. well, steph and janice came down from warwick over the weekend so went explore london with them. really got to thank them else i wouldn't have been to that many places. went to buckingham palace, tower bridge, st katherine's docks, picadilly circus, chinatown, harrods blah blah blah. the best thing was we went on sat night and went back to all the same places the next day. so it was almost like a double dosage of each place. but it was really enjoyable contrasting day and night of london sights.
ooh, and climbed up the monument too. it's 311 steps up to the top and we even received a cert for completing it. not bad huh. then breakfast at st katherine's docks was great too. finally i didn't have to eat bread or cereals for breakfast anymore. haha. and the view there is really good. so peaceful. just wonderful to sit and chat over a cuppa.
headed down to covent gardens too. ate my fav waffles again. more sinful this time round though. added toffee fudge. hahas. but it's really good. each time i think of those waffles my mouth waters. but one setback was the rainy weather.. haiz. couldn't walk ard hyde park and st james park much. maybe it's us and parks.. each time we wanna go to the parks it rains. think i shall go back to those places again!
well, lectures have started. mainly intro lects so it isn't that bad yet. though we can feel the stress building up le. can't slack anymore. geog tutorial has started and we've been allocated our first essay title due next mon. argh! "why study geography?" what a silly essay title. so crappy.. and so s paper. i shld have brought my textbooks and notes over. sigh. regret not bringing all my notes and books over. now have to wait til my mum comes and in the meantime shall visit the library more often.
well, today's been a busy busy day. well, actually the whole week's been kinda busy with all the clubs and socs having intro sessions. went for rowing, mountaineering and jap soc yesterday. then went for the first rock climbing session today. travelled all the way to mile end climbing club for indoor climbs. it was not bad, pretty fun though i nearly killed somebody. sorry xinwei! hahas. we'll still be climbing partners yes.
think i shall make mountaineering my main cca. with singsoc as default cca and maybe take up badminton or sth. need an indoor sport to keep me working in winter. else i'll come back like a fat pig w/o exercising. but it's like the whole world's joining bad.. how? mayb i'll join investment soc. hahas. learn how to invest. hmm... but really looking forward to our trip out to north yorkshire. that's one main reason why i join mountaineering too. we get to travel out every month. cool huh? go to diff places to trek and climb. guess i'll do the trek and skip the climb. haha. my fingers are already aching after today. ouch!
finally settled my phone line today.. after visiting a million shops.. yup. finally went to the oh-so-famous camden handphone shop which doesn't require a bank statement.. so finally got our phones done. walked ard camden a little. it is indeed a pretty little town. didn't get to see all that i wanted to see though. think i'll go back there again this weekend. wanna go portobello too. haiz. so many places i wanna go. shld i go brighton or shld i continue exploring london? hmm.. oh wells, it shall be readings for now..and a thousand word essay waiting for me..the boring part of school.
ooh..just realised it's karen's birthday today!
happy birthday karen!!

2004-10-02T06:27:00.000+08:00

gosh..super tired from tonnes of ironing..been ironing for the last hour. lesson learnt..don't go out so much, don't buy new clothes..so less washing and less ironing. haha. oh wells, went shopping with wl and tt just now..set out to window shop but in the end we all bought stuffs. bought a la gear t-shirt for 3pounds while wl and tt bought trackpants. yups. and we all bought a short history of nearly everything each. think we're mad. but it's good so i guess it's alright. and we still haven't got our top for mos! argh..saw this pretty orange knitted wear at selfridges..30pounds. sigh. shld i get it? oh wells, we'll be going back there again tmr to shop for freshers' ball so i shall decide if i shld spend my 30pounds then. hahas.
ooh..went into this super erotic shop this afternoon while shopping. it's like some sex shop made glam.. hahas. the window display made it seem like it sold household products or bed-linen. but actually..what's behind those doors was a total contrast. but it was cool. hanged ard the shop for awhile. u'd be damn amazed by the things they sell..it's really surprising how such supposedly sleezy shops can be made so glamorous here that they even have security guards guarding the store. preventing people under18 from entering. geez. the things people here do sometimes. discovered that ucl actually has a gay club, a lesbian club and even a metrosexual club. can't imagine these societies being part of the school clubs. it's quite extraordinary ain't it.
hmm.. i'm so sad we can't go for gliding anymore.. felt so cheated by the stupid person. tell us 10pounds per hour..which is still reasonable.. but he didn't mention we had to spend 10pounds travelling there and another 10 pounds to rent the place and lunch not provided and extra charges for this and that. total charges accumulating to sth like 40pounds for a gliding weekend is way beyond budget. i'd rather spend my money on my pretty sweater and save the remaining for lunch. i need clothes! and we need to hunt for cheap clothes!
i'm still quite pissed with the way the banks here work though. super super slow. 5days to process a draft, 3weeks to get ur bank card and prolly another month to receive ur pin. darns. and i can't get my mobile coz i don't have a bank statement. this is seriously irritating. i shall go pester them again on monday. haha. force them to work harder.
*It is terrible! It is crazy! I am dazed and my head is spinning! London is the grandest and most complicated monstrosity on the face on the earth...and at every glimpse down the side streets and far into the distance one finds uproar, and that even so one has gone through only perhaps a quarter of populated London , you would understand that i am half out of my senses...~Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy
how true..sirens go off every night just like how 3 has gone off in the last half hour as i'm typing this. think police life here must be so happening that they're constantly kept on the balls of their feet. so unlike those cycling policemen around the neighbourhood. sorry bb! hahas. but police life here must be really exciting. simply put on ur siren and start zooming ard town. but it must be most frustrating for those light-sleepers. hahas. didn't realise i've typed such a long entry. my shoulders are stiff..

2004-10-01T15:59:00.000+08:00

it's been a busy busy week, getting my comp up and running, registering for courses, planning timetable, meeting tutors blah blah... well, at least my comp's done. cheers. never thought i could manage it myself being such a comp illiterate. hahas. but i managed to get myself connected. though i still have a problem with the webcam. why?!? i heard halls don't allow people to use webcams. i hope this is so untrue. i don't wanna bring this dumb thing all the way here and not able to use it. sheesh.
signed up for my courses.. wanted to do a language but am not allowed to coz my units are full from geo and econs courses. darns.was hoping to take up french or spanish. hee. or maybe even brush up my rusty german. but looks like i can only take night classes next term. but night classes are so expensive. sigh. anyhows.. i guess i'll have to wait til next term to decide what language i wanna do. timetable's alright so far. 12hours week. haven't included geo tuts. not too bad i guess.. after inclusion of geo tuts, most prob gonna be a 14hours week. still acceptable i hope. just praying hard that my geo tut doesn't set any tutorials on fri coz that's gonna be our travelling day and weekend..hahas *shhh*
well, went for freshers' fayre yesterday.. signed up for a million and one things. mountaineering, rowing, gliding, salsa, horse riding.. looking forward to our gliding session this weekend. hopefully it takes off. haha. it's getting so exciting. it's great to note that there's a group of crazy us who's all excited bt gliding. but all the activities are super ex. like what's not ex here rite? haiz. i guess we'll just try out everything once for the experience. cool.. can't wait for our trip out to the countryside. i wanna go to the countryside! can't believe we're in london for only a week and can't wait to leave for the greens. i still can't decide if i should join mountaineering or rowing. hmmz..both sounds appealing enough. hahas. imagine climbing in france or rowing in god knows where.. but i think it'll be a really good experience.
watched chicago last night..managed to get super discounted tix. but sadly.. given super discounted seats as well, had to lean over most of the time to see the performers clearly. what to do when u're sitting at the top most circle. haha. the performance was pretty impressive. i'm not much of a musical person, but i thoroughly enjoyed myself after such a tiring day.
it's gonna be another busy day in school again. career talks ltr..think it's pretty dumb to talk bt careers when we haven't even started our course. blehz. kinda tired of talks alr..well, hopefully union fair wld be better.
been raining the last 2 days here..it's dampening our spirits a little..caused us to cancel our camden trip which is so disappointing. praying hard it doesn't rain today. argh.. i hate gloomy weather.. and my toilet light's blown. i better get it fixed soon. darns. but i don't really wanna talk to ms souza. hate tt stupid assistant site manager manz. darns.
it's been a really long entry..shall update again next time.. off to sch now.

2004-09-25T15:59:00.000+08:00

finally found an access to comps.. using my hall's clusters now.. my lap wouldn't be up til next tues.. sigh. it's supposed to be up by now but they have decided to sell the computer vouchers only next tuesday.the way the english work..super slow. but what to do.
well, everything here's getting on fine. attended the orientation programmes and all.. fully enrolled now. just got to wait for my bank account to be opened. and as usual.. they take forever. the people here are that inefficient. gosh.
anyways..been bumming around abit. went strolling down thames.. really pretty sight. walked around covent gardens too. love the area. yups..went shopping yesterday too. bought a jacket at topshop for £20. it's quite a good buy. they were having major sale. 50% discount. hahas. surprisingly the indian food here is quite good. ate tandoori fish masala and tandoori chicken yest.. it's nice. and the curries here are good too.. but looks like i'll have to survive on bread and biscuits soon after my mum goes back coz it's so expensive.
the weather here's quite nice. cool temps, sunny. except for some chilly winds at night. but on the whole it's really quite pleasant. settled most of my stuffs..met afew of my hostel mates.. they're quite nice. from us. hahas. and they can cook good pasta!
yup.. i better go check on my clothes in the laundry.. til next time. missing all of u back in sin!

2004-09-19T17:59:00.000+08:00

hmm..realised i haven't updated for awhile. been busy busy.. preparing and packing stuffs for the trip. plus piano exam tmr.. super stressed. and i haven't finish packing. there are so many bags i dunno how am i ever gonna trspt all of them over. argh. thank goodness mum will be helping me share the load. just praying hard i don't have to pay for excess baggage which i doubt looking at the amount of stuffs i have. been taking out more things then putting in and i think i'll still be overweight. sigh.
well, can't believe 80days of counting down to london passed so quickly. never imagined myself to be studying so far away. away from everyone back here. will miss you guys lots. i promise i'll mail as often as i can.
to[my fam]: it was indeed a great night spent singing and chatting!! really enjoyed myself. thanks for all the little farewell gifts. love them alot.. especially the brown bag of..hmm..oreos, fruit chews, corks, postcards, not forgetting the stolen flower and coasters..haha. will miss all of you..wenny,cheryl,klare,nic and ethan..see you guys in hk yes! and let's all work towards hello kitty land. cheers!

ah hah. someone complained that i haven't been blogging. shall start blogging actively again.. i hope. well, been faithfully doing tutorials..dunno whatever for..haha. but i guess it's good learning experience for me. did fna presentation today...so lucky for being the first name on the register. sigh. it wasn't as bad as i thought though. thankfully..
just some updates over the last few days...went down for smu bash on sat with e rest of 34... was pretty fun hanging out with everyone despite the sucky music..then there was the toppling chair which frightened all of us.. hope your bruise is gone!! tried some rubbish drinks combi which tasted like crap. but there were others that were really good too. then there was the hot and sticky which made most of us really crazy..and i think drinks are addictive. hahas. we'll have more this sat kae!
went down to support sn at pesta sukan on sunday. they did not bad.. 3rd for b div.. thot i could get a tan.. but in the end only my face was red..thankfully it didn't peel or else i don't have to go to school anymore.
well, it's been a stressful week with so many things in mind. sorry guys if i've been moody and all. there's simply too many things to do in such limited time. i know i'm supposed to be a slacker but even so there's still alot of things to complete. at least i've gotten all my uk stuffs prepared. how time flies... the last time i did a count down there was still 80 days.. it's less than 18 days now.. sobs sobs.. actually it's quite exciting.. and i can't wait to leave but i'm sure i'll be missing everyone back here too.
met up with shujun and the rest of the ucl girls yesterday.. ate and big-o and then chit-chat quite abit after that.. think they're all very nice and friendly..yeps. went shopping too.. saw this pretty purse which i wanted to buy but it's like 80bucks plus. damn ex. then sj and i both eyed at the same pencil case from ripcurl that's really pretty too. pencil case cum handbag. haha. but didn't really like the colour. if only there was the pink one. sigh. there's so many things i wanna get i think i'm mad. shall draw up a shopping list for tmr..
overheard this conversation on the bus this afternoon.. no one has ever pissed me off so much i really felt like punching that guy in the face.
:"wah, nanyang has such a nice sch compound, even nicer than jcs"
:"st nicks is quite big and nice too"
:"yeah, but all the st nicks girls are butches"
:"why u say so?"
:"always see one mah.. that time i took 76 from amk, all the girls on the bus lidat one."
yeah right.. i really felt like slapping him.. how could he say such things? i never felt so offended in my whole entire life. hello?!? please watch your words..what an idiot. argh. don't ever let me see him again..

2004-08-17T08:26:00.001+08:00

felt like i haven't blogged for ages.. argh.. i hate my laggy comp. seems like i can only get connected in the morning. blehs. oh wells, i shall make a snappy entry before gg for class.
well, had a pretty fun weekend. went down for biz bash at rouge on sat. though the music sucked but it was great hanging out with the girls. it's always nice ard them somehow..let's meet up as often as we can yes? went down to east coast for kayaking on sunday..was quite good. the weather was good, the company was great too. haven't kayaked in eons..wanted to kayak a little longer but was a pity we had to leave early. hopefully we can go for another kayaking session before i leave, then i'll miss the sun, sea and sand in singapore. sobs. and chuanny... i'm not S-queen ok. u're so mean...i'm l-queen!! hahas.
watched the fireworks display at esplanade after that..think we chose a good spot which was totally unobstructed.. yeah. never seen fireworks at such close proximity. it's really cool. and i gotta say that the atm was great. sometimes i feel really lucky to have such great friends and great company.. i'll definately miss all of you when i'm away.. sobs..well, i'll be oragnising a farewell sth in sept.. so pple.. do keep ur weekends free okies..=)

2004-08-05T21:31:00.000+08:00

been skipping school and ponning o week...haha. i feel super anti-social seriously.whatever. well, did flag on tues..realised two things...st nicks people do not hang out at jubilee anymore..and none of the st nicks girls donated..sigh. so disappointing. and then u'll see how primary kids will enthusiastically place their coins into the tins, sec school children trying their best to help, and then as people get older they couldn't be bothered to even look at you. it's like all their phones just happen to ring as they walk past?!? well, it's just something i observed from my little flag experiences. after feeling so unloved, i'll donate whenever i see flaggers in future.
went zouk last night. the music was good..the crowd was good too less the synchronised dancers. hahas. met quite afew others which was pretty fun. yeah..and how can i forget such great company. see sue..u went back to zouk! and let's go back again soon..
sorry if i scared you yesterday...i guess it was the silly me acting up again. it hasn't been the best of times for me...with all the crazy thoughts overwhelming..sometimes you just can't help but think about it. thanks for the assurance anyway. well, just wanna tell you that i really meant what i said.

2004-08-02T09:59:00.000+08:00

had a pretty good weekend. went down for pre-departure talk on sat..glad that i met so many pple there..was kinda shocked.hahas. but it's great...we can bump ard together in uk. and ms low is right..we could form a mini stnicks alumni there..ooh. met my dearest kheoky and noelle as well..i still have the picture taken at jie mei tong xin qiao too!! a reunion after 6 years..gosh. now i'm starting to look forward to uk..am to fresh v!bes..
had a good evening out with sue, slut, ivan and jz.. sitting and chatting and listening to army stories. why are guys always talking about nth but army?!? wanted to go new asia but those ns guys couldn't get in..walked down to embargo instead. the place is not bad..nice comfy seats..hahas. but i still prefer new asia's drinks..and view! a pity we missed the fireworks..thanks to all the latecomers. well, it was nice pigging out at cartel though. ate ribs and baked macaroni..hmm..and listening to the fireworks.hahas. ooh...there's a fireworks festival at marina. sounds super fun. can't help it but i think it's so exciting.i love fireworks!
watched house of flying daggers on sat too. ok..i think zhang ziyi isn't that bad afterall..didn't like her before. but i thought she looked quite pretty in the show. though the show is super exaggerated. but i guess the cast made up for it. can't wait for the village to open.. think the show looks reallie cool.
inauguration ceremony later..feeling so tired already though i just woke up. certainly not looking forward to school...i'm in sucha party mood i can't imagine myself sitting in lectures next week. so sad cyan will be away again on wednesday..else we could go chill out together.

2004-07-30T20:34:00.000+08:00

realised i haven't blogged for awhile.. been busy busy at sch.. medic examination (last min i know), matriculation, modules bidding, orientation. oh wells, should orientation be counted? since i ponned today. hahas. i think i shouldn't be too anti-social...before those councillors start complaining bt our og again. think i'll start going again next week. my ogl just called...to remind me bt flag next tues. oops..didn't want to go act but i got to admit that biz seniors got great persuasive powers...looks like i'll be flagging afterall.
feeling really proud of st nicks..double champ for nat'l schs track...feel happy for my sis too. so long as sports school's not the champ. kae..i'm really mean but i seriously can't stand them. cheers to sn!! (:
after much thought, i really think there's a love-hate relationship between my mum and i.. thanks to py and karen for their wonderful conclusion. hmm..she wants me to be in singapore but doesn't want to see me at home?!? force me to make up my decision on where to study..when i finally made up my mind she's trying to make me fickle-minded again. stressed..sigh. and mods bidding are irritating. what's wrong with nus? can't they just jolly well let us do what we wanna do? make us go thru all the trouble planning and in the end i can't do what i set out to study this sem. hopefully i got my bids..don't wanna bid again especially with my laggy comp.
went running ard my estate.. had a good run today. wanted to better my timing from my last run but couldn't..had a pretty good run though..feeling more refreshed now. i'm starting to like jogs ard my estate more and more. somehow the feeling each time is different and there's always sth new to be spotted. and new running friends that i'll make..hahas.
meeting up with slut and sue tmr..haven't seen slut for a long time..let's just hope he doesn't pangseh us again tmr. and my dearest sue...stop being lazy ok! if u keep procrastinating we'll never make it for mambo...blog less and we can zouk more!

2004-07-22T12:01:00.000+08:00

skipped piano lessons today.. haven't finished what i'm supposed to memorise..urgh.but i'm still too lazy to do it. sigh
watched copa america.. brazil vs uraguay. watching an entire match for the first time. well, final score 1-1..brazil won on penalties. no extra time involved which was good. hahas
back's still burnt from sentosa on tues. ouch. but i love the tan so long as it doesn't peel... zephyrus dinner tmr...haven't seen everyone in ages. wonder how's everybody doing. hope everyone's doing fine. miss everyone there.
handover's on saturday. can't believe how time flies another batch of oacians are gonna take over.. new hopes, new aspirations for the team. hope the new instructors will live up to expectations. i miss 02/03 lots..miss training together. i'll always remember the laughter and tears. love u all
i wished i had found an answer to the wonderfully crafted question. or maybe i'll never find my solution.. well, i just wanna thank you for being such a wonderful gift..thanks for always being there. no matter what happens i'll always remember the special moments we've spent together. and don't ever feel apologetic at all k... keep smilin' my dear!

2004-07-18T22:50:00.000+08:00

haven't blogged for a week and blogger's got a new format. well, it's been a great week..chalet was fun..it's always nice meeting up with the girls. chatting and relaxing together always brings joy..realised how everyone's changed and yet still the same. ironic but true... anws, thanks to py and alas for getting everything in order. a waste i couldn't be there on the first nite..missed out on the detoxing game..hahas. but mahjong and being couch potatoes was fun too. it's one of the healthiest chalets i've been too..drinking water as forfeits. good way of detoxing after eating all the junk.
meet up with the oacians to celebrate jxl's birthday today.. to jxl: happy belated birthday!! it's nice seeing everyone today. haven't had such a large grp gathering for some time.. it's always comforting to know that everyone's doing fine and it's always nice sitting ard chatting with the outdoorers though the guys talk about nth but army..
think it's been a most sinful day too..finally satisfied my 2 week craving for cheesecake after lunch at nydc's.. mochamisu deluxe is yummy. hahas. *drools* looks like i'll have to work that ice-cream and cake away tmr...blehz. hmm..and i'm still waiting for ahem to bake me my cheesecake!
well, watched sisters yesterday.. think the show is quite good...at least there's some plot besides the scary parts. though i think it's a copycat of ring..the effects are not bad. thrilling.. ok..i think i've got a fetish for horror flims..hahas

2004-07-12T22:36:00.000+08:00

just had buffet dinner at vienna.. celebrated aunt's birthday... the food there's good. love the tepanyaki..yums. ooh and the baby juice is super cool. juice served in test tubes. it was funny watching everyone hover ard the test-tubes trying out the various flavours. then there was this super weird grandpa who came to eat with his grandchidren. he was like "there's plenty to eat here..but eat only the expensive one." it's like super duh..irritating old man. gosh..what's the world coming to?
went back to sentosa yesterday. well, at least the weather was better this time round. sue..what a pity u cldn't join us. managed to get a little tanner. though not much..hahas. played rugby monkey...think was super fun too but super tiring..think i shall go back to sentosa again soon to get a more even tan. i'm never satisfied i know. blehs.
us at sentosa!! ivan,me,mike,sis,matt,glenda...

kinda disappointed that our bintan trip's cancelled..hopefully we can plan for another trip..one that's within our budget, in the region, enables us to fly, beach plus shopping. seems like there's no such place though..sigh. how sue?!? i wanna go on a holiday! well, shall look forward to chalet tmr..can't wait to see everyone!

2004-07-10T00:13:00.000+08:00

watched super size me today..really grossed out by the figures and pictures. i'll not touch the golden arches anymore. i bet anyone who watches the movie will lay off fastfood for the time. unless you're desperately trying to gain weight unhealthily..hahas. but something which i really don't understand. why would anyone even want to put himself through all that torture. mac's diet for a month is ridiculous.
just uploaded the sentosa pictures. it's alright sue...you can join us again on sunday if the weather's bright and sunny. then we can all go tanning!
mike and merlion!!

mike and i looking thru merlion's mouth..

at the southern most point of continental-asia..

2004-07-07T22:05:00.000+08:00

ok..finally uploaded all my photos...redid the malacca and grad night photos too. hope the links work this time round. took a super long time to upload those photos..sigh. can't help it when u're using dial-up.
well, been feeling super healthy the last two days. had a super good work out. went swimming at safra yesterday. had a good swim. swam 30 laps i think though i targeted to do 40. hahas. the place is quite nice. first plus point..there's music!! second plus point..slides! good place to relax..
cycled to lower pierce after that for dinner at casuarina. cycled so long til my butt was aching by the time we reached home. ate prata at my fav prata place. yums!! it's making me hungry manx.i love cheese prata! hahas
went bowling this morning..quite sian at first. but think i've improved after today's games. gotta thank my coach..thanks dear! jogged ard my estate in the evening..had a good run. nv felt so energised after a run. ran at a faster than normal pace which is good. just hope i don't get aches tmr..gosh. i feel like an exercise freak. which means i'm not slacking anymore..
sentosa tmr!! so exciting! shall pray for fine weather..i wanna get a tan!

2004-07-04T14:30:00.000+08:00

never realised so many ppl were from ij..hmmz..war heroines, actresses, president of netball singapore..eeks. hahas. maybe will pop by ij fest ltr if it's still on. suddenly realised how much i miss st nicks. adapted this frm sue's blog..traits that define convent girls: loud laughter, incessant chatter, uninhabited behaviour.. well, that's how true...
celebrated rach's birthday on fri..dinner at swensens..couldn't decide where to go after tt. end up chatting at istana park. with rach ard...what else would be talk about besides marriage and kids.. while rach started digging up everyone's love-life..realised how much things have changed and how everyone has changed. i'd agree with miss kwan on how we've all matured from the rock-wall photo that we took.. everyone's so different now. everyone with their own aspirations. it's just a difference of few months yet it seems like years.
anyway, happie birthday rach!! i'm so jealous of you..hahas. well, enjoy yourself in china okies.. be careful and take care!
took many pretty pictures too. thanks sue!! now looking forward to our bintan trip. hope it'll be fun. hahas.and sue..tanning next wed yes? i'll bring my german cousin along and we can all go to sentosa together!
watched spidey with bb and cy yesterday. good show..prefer it to the first one..wondering if there'll be a spidey3. hmmz...but the only setback was the second row seats. gosh. it's really tiring looking at vertical screens. went to crepes and creme too..had choco crave for dinner when i'm supposed to be eating healthily. haiz..sinful. but it's yummy. i'm not a choc lover but i think it's reallie good.
i shall go upload my hols pictures soon and stop procrastinating..hahas.

2004-07-01T15:19:00.000+08:00

realised i've been neglecting my blog since i got back from thailand. been too lazy to blog. hahas. ok sue. this post is made specially for you...
well, thailand was good. had lots of fun shopping, bargaining, plus laughing and bitching bt the other 2 families in our group.one singapore family and one china family. all the sin fam does is take pics and more pics whereas the china family's main concern is food..so while the two families are at loggerheads with each other right from the start of the trip, es and i just sat back watch and laugh at them. discreetly..hahas. well, maybe they're talking bt us too.. but it was really fun watching the war btwn them when it came to free time coz it seems like one family wld fight for more eating time and the other wld wanna see more stuffs. and the two of us.. more shopping!! hahas. 3 different groups of ppl with totally different interest on the same tour. imagine how chaotic it cld get. but we concluded that both of us were the neutral party..and got most entertainment out of it. hahas.
visited korat, northeast thailand, or rather narkon ratchasima(hope i got the spelling rite). the weather was hot..but the place was nice. enjoyed the little cowboy town of pensuk where all the hotel rooms have a red indian and cowboy theme. only managed to stay there for one night though. sigh. wished we spent more nights there it'd be wonderful. the scenery was great, the rooms were all decorated in cowboy style, each room with it's individual fireplace, all the furniture and walls were painted red-indian style. even the recep and waitresses were dressed in cowboy and red-indian attire. there were many activites there too..archery, horse-riding, shooting, but quite sad didn't have enough time to play. sobs. think it's a reallie cool place. wanna go back there some day. but it's quite inaccessible so yea.
went to practically all the night-markets there were.. had lots of fun bargaining. the satisfaction you get out of bargaining. hahas. these are some stuffs you don't get a chance to do when you're with parents i guess. but i gotta say es is a good shopper and a crazy one. hahas. ooh, and we're not just crazy shoppers, we're crazy swimmers too. went swimming each afternoon right after check-in hoping to catch some afternoon rays.. haha.our desperate attempts at sun-tanning and exercising. gosh.
managed to explore the city on our own the last day. took the skytrain from terminal to terminal.. covered 44 stops in total...spent 100 baht on a one-day pass. even ventured to cross chao praya river by their local ferry. 2 baht. felt super adventurous.. but i think our 2 baht was wasted coz there was hardly anything across the river where they called it the peninsula except for 2 hotels.. all the rest was just this highway, a park with afew old gym equipment and 2 men trying to show-off their muscles. and they were old men. hahas..the rest were roadside shops and bottling factories i think and homes. yeah. well, i was pretty exciting to do sth extraordinary though. suddenly felt so immersed into their local culture.
enjoyed the trip tremendously..yups.looking forward to another trip now.. planners... start planning!! =Þ
ok..life's back to normal the past few days..routine of lessons all over again..with more make-ups. sobs. and catching up on some soccer action. well, germany's out of the tournament so...haiz. but i'll still watch anyway. it's quite a joy watching and commenting. hee.
wanted to get a tan yesterday..went all the way to pasir ris found out that we couldn't kayak there..then came all the way back down to east coast and realise we still couldn't kayak was super frustrating. went cycling in the end but cldn't get much tanner in that gloomy weather. sue...let's go tanning in sentosa next week kae. shall we?!?
met up with the oacians in the evening.. dinner at newtons with cat,cyn,ao,lynda and bb.. how fortunate bb must feel that each time he books out he had dinner with a whole table of girls.. hmm..
walked down to orchard for häagen-das after tt. cyn's ice-cream treat! thanks girl! had bailey's, strawberry cheesecake, toffee creme and macadamia nut.. heavenly.. haha..and sinful especially when we're supposed to be on a diet and watching what we eat. sigh.
listened to what happened at the camp.. still feeling quite disturbed by it each time i think bt it. i wonder what's happening to younger people these days. the same thing's happening everywhere and it hurts to hear such comments. why are things turning out this way? to think that we're getting bad..it's only getting worse as time goes by. i'm just praying for the better since there's not much we can do. maybe it's our fault for not instilling the right attitude in them.
and sometimes i really wonder what 14-15 year olds think these days. it's seems like miles from what we did in the past. though it's just a difference of few years. i wished i cld place more faith and trust in st nicks girls..

2004-06-20T23:49:00.000+08:00

didn't expect euro2oo4 to be that exciting actually. i'm not much of a football person but i think the fact that after so many games and most teams theoretically still have a chance of qualifying is making it exciting. plus all the upsets...you'll never know what happens. it's cool that many teams are picking up, giving the so-called stronger teams a good fight. okay..that's besides the boring 0-0 draw btwn germany and latvia yesterday. how disappointing. wasted my 2 hours..yeah. i'm a rare case german supporter.
well, will be off to thailand with es tmr..it's getting exciting but i haven't finished packing! argh..i have few more hours to finish. sigh. i hate packing for holidays. anyways, i hope the trip will be good..hee
to sue: hopefully our trip to bali or kl or phuket or whatever will take off too. yes? can't wait to travel with ya. and don't be sad kae..even if i'm in uk we can still meet up whenever i'm back in sin! ooh, and just msg me if u want ath frm bangkok yar.
to cyan: when you coming back again? must meet up the next time you're back k. miss ya lotslots!!
ooh.. and to all daddy's.. happy father's day!! to dad: i know you'll never see this..anw, happy daddy's day. i love you!
to you: it's been two wonderful nights. hope you like the dumplings! and have fun at camp..will miss you

2004-06-17T23:10:00.000+08:00

it's been a stressful stressful week. back to having piano lessons three times a week. sigh. just memorized one piece. to think that my nightmare is over. i've to start memorising another one. well, at least this time round i have two weekends to do it instead of two days. think my memory's getting rusty..can't seem to be getting anything in. blah.
anyways, went swimming and tanning at shang yesterday. the swim was good. haven't swan in ages. did 40plus laps i think. swam for almost an hour and was pacing up and down with this other guy who maybe swam almost 80 laps. every lap i complete he does two. the other ppl ard must be thinking we were mad. hahas. but the sun was kinda disappointing. only my back is burnt now with the super obvious costume mark. eeks. but e rest of me haven't gotten much tanner. unlike my sis which i so unfair.
went to baker's inn for dinner just now. tried the cheese ice-cream that's been highly recommended. it's really good..fattening though. and it's super ex. gosh. one small cup of ice-cream cost more than my entire meal. but it's reallie yummy. the waffles are good too.shall go back there soon. ooh..and i ate mussles for the first time. never dared to try them coz they look too much like oysters. hahas. but surprisingly they're quite nice. much better than the other clammy stuffs.
hey cyan! thanks for messing..glad to know u like the hand musical thing too. coz i love it!! ...when you wish upon a star...

2004-06-13T16:24:00.000+08:00

been feeling like a little piggie since i came back from melbourne. hahas. pigged out at chomps with ivan on fri. ate so much. chix wings, satay and stingray. but i think the satays tasted different. think we ordered from the wrong stall. hmm..the new chomps is so much better now. better ventilation though still lacking seats and shelters. checked out the new video ezy at gardens. they shoudln't be called video ezy shld be called vcd ezy.crap. there's quite alot of nice new shows on rental though. wanted to rent some vcds but the thought of bringing them back to return..haiz. plus i don't think they're that cheap. anyways.
went to my gran's house yesterday. as usual..lots of food. i could draw up a whole list of things i ate yesterday manz. yeah and there went my run. sobs. ooh..but i love haigh's chocs.milk chocs with macadamia.yums!
watched seance last nite. wanted to catch the 1145 show but it was sold out. in the end watched the 0145 show. thinking that it'll be like super freaky and all. but what a disappointing ending. everyone was like huh?!? hahas. the reaction when the lights came on was super farnie. i'm still trying to figure out the end just like everyone else i guess. or maybe we were too tired for our brains to be processing what we were watching at that time. hahas.
went to this indochine place at wisma yest before the show to watch portugal vs greece. i feel so smart to have predicted the scores correctly.hahas. i'm always so anti i can't stand it. bleah. wondering if that's the place cyan was telling me the last time. opp marriott, by the roadside? if it was.. i think it's a pretty cool place too. shall go there again the next time u come back.
sigh..miss clubbing and holidaying with the 3402ers too. sue.. let's start planning for kl!! hahas.
to my "make-up": can't wait to meet u again on the dance floor!! next sat yes?! and we'll have more juggies!

2004-06-08T20:13:00.000+08:00

using my dad's connection time.. hahas. how time flies. going back to sin tmr. sigh. think i'll miss oz and the cool weather. been walking quite alot the last few days. hai.wrong planning of tours. the first 3 days were bus tours and the last 3 walking tours. well, think my fav place would be grampians. i love the waterfalls.i'm sucha waterfall person. but it was an adventure getting down to the base of the waterfall. it's like 2km down and then 2km all the way up those stairs again. plus we had to get down and back in half hour. didn't even have enough time to enjoy the falls after taking pictures. bleahs.
remembered the waterfalls in msia. loved it the time when we could sit under the falls to play. hahas. i love waterfalls!!
well, did more shopping today. but i'm still short of souvenirs. sigh. shall think of what i can buy for my coussies later. they're like too young for boardriding stuffs..else i'll buy the pretty ripcurl wallets for them. but they wouldn't be able to put them into the small pocket in their pinafore. hahas. reallie like all those wallets.shld i buy one too? hmm..
yesh sue..i'll show u the photos when i get back. or maybe i could send them to you like what u did. but u must teach me how to use that programme.
ooh..and i discovered this drink by boost.. skinny juice!! hahas. sounds cool yes. it comprises strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, apple and pineapple.. super sour, think to a certain extent it taste quite bad. but it's fat free..and as the name suggests..skinny juice!

2004-06-04T17:21:00.000+08:00

greetings from melbourne! hahas. just came back after a day of shopping and finding sue's roxy belt..but i can't find it. i suspect it's either not out yet coz it's too early for winter collection. else it must the the store. just checked out the website. found the model no. hopefully i'll be able to get it tmr.. frankly.. i like it alot too.
went to quite afew places the last few days. went to dandenongs this morning and rode on puffing billy. toured phillip island yesterday and saw afew pathetic fairy penguins..was kinda disappointed actually. coz it's supposed to be a penguin parade..but turned out only afew penguins were sighted. sigh. and we were all freezing while waiting for them to appear. been taking alot of pictures.i hope my cam won't die.. hahas.
off to dinner now.. been eating so much i think i'm putting on weight! hahas.
hey jess! miss ya too.. missing everyone in singapore..

2004-05-30T00:42:00.000+08:00

just came back from boat quay..went to lighthouse(thanks to somebody) and the music there's like crap. some old uncle spinning god-knows-what music. or maybe it's his tactic to encourage ppl to stay outside. i'll never go back there again. still having a headache from all that noise..gosh. well, at least there were the drinks that kept us entertained.
went down to chan bros with es this morning. so happy that our trip is finally confirmed! can't wait til departure.hahas. and i think we were super efficient at booking. took less than half hour to get everything done. went walk ard taka square after tt..there's this disney and winnie-the-pooh fair going on..dearest es bought a snowwhite, cinderella and belle photo album.. and we were tempted to buy the super huge and huggable tigger and eeyore but figured out it was too troublesome to carry it everywhere we went. shall go back again soon to get it.. it's reallie cute and it's relatively cheap. hahas. saw booboo working there promoting dbs card. haven't seen her in years was super surprised to see her there. come to think of it.. it's almost 2 years that we haven't seen each other. almost lost contact alr. we stood there for very long trying to recall when was the last time we met and we figured tt it was beyond our memory capacity..but it was nice chatting with her again. hope she doesn't get fired after spending all that time talking to us..
went shopping with hanz and cyn after tt.. well, hanz shopped while i window shopped. was too lazy to try on ath esp with those long queues into the fitting rooms. it feels like the whole singapore has taken to the streets today. orchard was nothing but heads heads and more heads.
had cheesecake at big-o after tt.. i love their cheesecake. yums. ok.. i think i love all sorts of cheesecakes.
saw cat in her 200 dollar make-over..couldn't recognise her at first. but i thought her make up looks better the more you look at it. so yeah..guess it was a nice attempt afterall. though i think her eyes and eye lashes were a little scary.. but it's still nice! hoping to see her pictures soon..

2004-05-27T21:24:00.000+08:00

pigged out at swensens just now..they've got a new menu..i think there's fewer varieties for food now but they are serving more desserts! hahas. had a whole frosted choc malt to myself. yes fats and calories i know..which equals exercise tmr. but it's reallie good..drools
was supposed to meet cyan today..but didn't in the end.didn't want to go back to hello two days in a row when i'm not the one buying a new phone. sobs. plus didn't want to walk all the way to centrepoint to wait for cher's lessons to end. nvm..hopefully we can meet up tmr.
wanted to go back to tj for titans. but was too lazy to travel all the way back in that jam.hahas.went back to st nicks instead. suddenly felt like i miss the school as i was driving past. i wonder why. then there was meet the parents session. yeah.so waited for my mum. end up talking to mrs tian. -shivers- thankfully she doesn't remember me..the group who's assignments got thrown out of the window. or was it door? hahas. anyways.
each time when i go back, the place feels different somehow. more unfamiliar faces, new signs here and there, new shelthers, blah blah. loitered ard the specs stand for almost an hour..love the view from there. i'm starting to miss stnick's sunset in that bright orange sky.
well, went back for titans yesterday. log pt..beta did well, came in first for two events. dunno what's the final result though..scores not tabulated. can't imagine myself being in their shoes 2 years ago. my gosh. doing all sorts of stuffs with that log.and looking like crap. hahas. feel so proud of our junior, or rather grand-junior..kar gea's mr titans (hopefully i got the name right)and not... k. shall not mention names here. haha. but feel so happy for him. well done!! looks like our prayers were answered..muahahs. ok..i'm starting to feel really mean. anws,it was great fun back in sch yesterday. there was this 200km run that was taking place as well..thought it was a pretty cool idea for fund-raising. if only there were more people involved though coz the no of ppl who stayed on til late was quite pathetic. imagine that distance covered. by different groups of runners of cos.
then met cyan on the bus on my way home yesterday. what coincidence...the probability of meeting ppl on the bus. rare case. had a nice chat despite it being a super short one. hopefully we'll have a longer one tmr...and u still owe me a drink!

2004-05-24T21:15:00.000+08:00

why is life always full of choices? i hate decision-making and i suck at them. everyone or at least most ppl know what they wanna do at the end of their uni education except me. standing at life's turning point not knowing which direction i'm heading to. everyone's giving me their opinions but things don't seem to be progressing anyway. why did i even put myself in such a dilemma? to think it was bad waiting for a reply. i guess it's worse when you get the offer and not knowing if it's really what you want to carve your life out of.
people tell me it's going to be alot of money spent studying in uk and i really don't want to disappoint my parents but i really don't know if it'll be the best path for me..opportunities don't knock twice i know..i ought to be happy to be accepted into where i wanna go and persue my interest. but the thought of being away from my family and friends brings uncertainty.
i'll miss mum for sure..argh. how i wish i didn't have so much to consider. maybe i should just stay in sin for the time being and maybe further overseas later. i dunno. the materialistic me wanna exchange it for a car. hahas. as promised by mum if i stayed behind. that is if i get my license soon. if...sigh. the thought being so far away from her scares me. think i'm getting all emotional here. i love you mum!! i'm gonna give her a great big hug before going to bed tonight..
well.. cyan's back in sin. finally! how i miss her too. let's meet up soon yes.can't wait to talk to you..my dearest gossip-pal...hahas.

especially for sue: i love my bread,i love my butter,
but most of all we love each other..
-quoted from madeline

2004-05-23T09:39:00.000+08:00

woke up early this morning to watch madeline..hahas. i think i'm mad. but i reallie love the show and the characters are sooo cute. i'm starting to feel like a pre-schooler. but it's reallie nice and i'm sure sue wld agree.
went b boss for class gathering yesterday. the highest attendence rate to date. even ms kwan joined us too. it was so nice seeing everyone, sitting and chatting again. seems like everyone's still the same. haven't seen deb for ages and she's still on a diet. haiz. everytime i see her i would feel guilty coz i can never diet like her..
went zouk after that after giving up on queueing at chinablack. i'm glad we made that choice else we'd have wasted more time queueing than anything. though the music at zouk last nite was not tt fantastic. but it was great fun dancing with everyone.and all e juggies! haha. think everyone got so high after tt..i seriously pitied the cab driver who sent us back having to put up with all our nonsense. well..he was entertaining enough though.a merc cabby.and a super corny one.
let's go back again soon yes.miss dancing with u guys already! (:

2004-05-19T21:00:00.000+08:00

caught troy today..not bad but it's kinda bloody. i do not like gruesome shows. the movie scene settings were nice though. think greece is a super nice place. i wanna go to greece!! i love the aegean and e mediterranean. read in the papers that some of the scenes were captured in malta. remembered the time i was there. it was one of the best hols i ever had. the atmosphere's so carefree. water all round. wonder when i'll have the chance to go to the med again.haiz. ooh..and the macs there got the longest fries ever. like 3 times the length of those pathetic singapore fries.
ok..my sis and i were having this great debate bt local fries. our conclusion...they're all just as horrible. hahas. short, burnt and soggy.
well, just had durians after dinner. finally satisfied my 2 mths plus craving. been longing to eat them but mum nv ever buys any. wonder what got into her todae she actually asked me if i wanted to eat and voluntarily bought two boxes. and our coolest discovery..there's durian sold at the econ mini-mart just five minutes walk from my place. though they aren't tt good but i'll still patronize them whenever i crave for the king of fruits. yums. ok..which means i'll have to exercise again tmr after all that durian i've eaten.
been discussing with es bt our holiday plans. reallie hope it takes off. i'm starting to look forward to it alr. didn't know it'll be so hard finding a place in the region that both of us haven't been too. plus the fact that we have to keep to our tight budget..sigh. which left us with only philippines and indo-china(quoted frm our hist student)..well, decided on vietnam or according to our hist student.. saigon (hist ppl are living in the past) seems like a nice place. ok...this is getting exciting. our first trip together! and it's just both of us...cheers

2004-05-16T00:01:00.000+08:00

ok..just revived my tagboard. something i still don't understand. why is it that almost everyone's board was screwed the last time but kel's stuffs are never affected?!? hmm..
anyway, just got home from dinner with my entire family. went jumbo gardens and lots of fun singing karaoke. hahas. always enjoy the time spent with everyone. though today was a little disappointing..but i guess i still had fun. feeling super bloated now though..after eating so much. god. guess i'll need another round of workout soon. sigh
wanted to troy with sue and wil this afternoon. but...i think i had more fun singing. haha. reallie feel like watching troy now after my sis's influence who keeps going on and on about it. hopefully i'll be able to catch it some time soon.not the genre tt i like but apparently it's rated 5 stars so i guess it's worth watching.
just thought about some stuffs on my way home..since i live 1km from the main road. if i were to drive up and down on an average of 4 times a day(the average no. of times my mum covers)along tt stretch of road everyday i would have covered 4km.in one year.. 1200+km. if the car travels at 60kph, each year i would have spent 20+hrs getting home from the main road which is equivalent to one day each year.imagine over a period of 10 years..gosh
if i were to walk in and out once everyday at a normal walking pace of 4kph, i would spent 1/2hr each day walking to and fro from the nearest bus stop. over one year, that would be more than a week spent walking along that road. imagine walking up and down the same stretch consecutively for one week...hahas. bonkers!
ok..i'm sorry. pardon my crappiness...sounds silly but come to think of it.it's quite alot of time spent..
well, kinda stumbled upon xxx's blog. some stuffs are getting on my nerves. i hate that attitude. can't believe that's what you are. blame myself for satisfying my own curiousity. but you're gross and the thought of you makes me sick. as said, we'll probably never see the real you. i'd rather not.

2004-05-11T11:12:00.000+08:00

mail's screwed..now tagboard's screwed...everything's screwed! damn
but who cares anyway.
having herbal jelly while typing this.haha. i love herbal jelly.haven't eaten it for a long time. today's jelly seems more bitter than usual though.
had the stalling time instructor at driving yesterday. this time round he didn't just stall time.he fell asleep repeatedly. such a winner lor. i'm wondering if he's the same guy that aisyah's friend complained against then maybe i shld go lodge a complain too and make sure he loses his rice bowl. got quite irritated with him so tried jamming the brake with maximun force to jerk him up. evil. then he was like sorry sorry. never seen anyone that irresponsible and all that he does is just meddling with his palm and smsing.
went to watch van helsing after tt.was kinda skeptical bt the show at first. coz i don't like dracula, frankenstein, blah blah..the effects of mrs lau and her gothic lessons. but it turned out to be not bad. so yea. suddenly thinkin of those gothic lessons again. the drooping shawl and the way lau says rochester...gosh.ultra seductive.hahas
am starting to look forward to saturday though it's only tues. really can't wait for the weekend. getting quite tired of the routine i'm going thru. can't wait to see all my cousins again. dunno why i miss them so much. they're all so cute..if only i had my cam with me i can take lots of pics with them on sat. shld i go get my digicam back? i miss cheryl, klare, nic and ethan!
my neighbour was so cute this morning she came over to tell us it's so hot and her house thermometer reads 34degrees. and it was only 8 plus. the heat these days is really killing. wanted to go for a swim earlier but i've decided to stay indoors. haven't been out in the sun for ages though..i wanna get a tan!! think i'm becoming super fair.hahas but i guess i'll only get burnt under this scorching sun. sigh. looks like i'll just refrain from the sun for the time being. contradiction i know.wadever.

to sue: congrats on passing basic!! i'm sure you'll have alot of fun behind the wheel..i'll have to start studying for final too. sobs.
to cy: nice hearing from you..congrats for getting sportsman of the year! you owe us a treat! hahas.just kidding (:

2004-05-10T08:41:00.000+08:00

cyan came back and went off again. so wanted to murder her on tues. when she made us photocopy an 830 page modern pharmaceutics book for her. i nv imagine myself standing in front of a photocopying machine for 2 hours flipping books and pressing buttons. now i know why photocopying aunties are always in a bad mood. hahas. make sure you make up for it your next trip back...you still owe us a vodka! bleahs. when will you be coming back again? didn't reallie get a chance to talk to you this time. hopefully you'll be less busy the next time you're back. haven't talked to you for a long long time. i'm starting to miss ya again. looks like i'll have to wait another month. sigh. ooh..i think the hk idea is damn fun and it's seriously getting me high too!
went shopping with mum this morning. didn't get what i set off to buy but bought sth which i had no intention to get. well,it's good so long as i don't have to pay.

2004-05-01T10:46:00.000+08:00

2004-04-30T11:03:00.000+08:00

2004-04-25T09:24:00.000+08:00

spent 8 bucks++ travelling yesterday..transport is damn expensive. gosh. but it was a crazy day of travelling. went to sch and home. went to cityhall then decided to go back to sch to meet bb who was still stuck with the juniors. then went back down to cityhall again from sch. seemed like some round-trip that i was on yesterday. home-bedok-home-cityhall-bedok-cityhall-home. madness.
didn't have a nice dinner that we planned out to have in the end. since bb was gonna be terribly late. so being such nice teammates..decided to go back to sch to wait for him..and then we found out sth...two things actually. the shower in the girls' toilet was on but who was bathing inside?!? when it was all dark..hmm...suspicious huh. and our dearest sea spec told a lie? it's so mean to bluff your teammates. made us worry for you after the whole string of happenings in the spooky sports com. but nvm. it's ok.. we understand. just have to buy us dinner when you get ur next pay.*hahas* had pizza at bedok pizza hut in the end.tried the double ring crust pizza. it's quite nice.shall have it again soon. yums. (:
went down to harry's bar with ivan after tt. yeah..harry's again..wanted to go somewhere else..but i think we always end up there. tried their pina colada and tequila sunrise which tasted like honeydew sago and raisin. hahas. but the music was nice.. yeps. hmmz...and i'm waiting for sue to make me a cocktail huh..hee.
still contemplating whether i shld go down to ntu later for some dumb tea session. but it's like super far..haiz.

2004-04-24T16:22:00.000+08:00

just came back from school.. went back to watch juniors tie structures this morning. thought cld get to try their suicide bridge at east coast but left earlier. sorry bb... left you all alone. hahas. bb, cat, cyn, mich and i end up tying one tripod..though i didn't help much. feeling quite guilty now (i got no blisters..oops) hee.but i guess it was good. still up to standard i hope and it was quite fun hovering ard those lashings and pulling.
forced to come home earlier to get changed to meet sue and slut ltr since someone didn't want to have coffee with people dressed shabbily. then silly slut's having some last minute army stuff. waste my time coming back. sigh. looks like we'll have to meet up some other time..err.so is tmr's breakfast on already? hmm...this proves sth..hahas. sue's a lousy outing organiser. hahas. worse than slut! at least slut only comes late. the other...failed!! wells. juz kidding.
haiz.. still got about two hours before meeting the oacians again for dinner..starting to feel hungry already. hee. let's hope bb will be in a good mood and maybe we'll get a treat? feeling super crappy..and it's all sue fault.

2004-04-23T23:19:00.000+08:00

watched dawn of the dead today..it's quite a good show besides the rather disappointing ending. hahas
the show's kinda bloody actually. quite gross. but it's got it's freaky moments which is not bad.yups.
tried the supposedly nice and famous beancurd at selegie after tt. i think it's ok only lar.. i still prefer those in hk.or maybe the warm one is nicer i dunno.
hmmz..just realised that there are actually more ppl than i thot reading all these.geez.

2004-04-19T21:31:00.000+08:00

had sushi buffet at sakae w cy today..haven't eaten so much for a long time. looks like i need to exercise tmr.. hahas. listened to all those army stories... they're quite interesting actually since i don't reallie know what happens in there. then end up using plates as tekong, prawn shell as bmtc and chopsticks as ferry route to get our orientation right. super crappy. and stoopid cy says i shld eat less sweetcorn sushi as i was getting cornier.. like looks who's talking rite?!? madness.
think driving's getting more and more fun.. it's even better when u get to see all ur sec sch friends and even pri sch friends whom you have lost touch with.
so sad...herbalist affair ended le. sobs. but the ending is rather dumb. waste my time. wonder what will be screened tmr. hope it's sth nice.
well,june trip is confirmed.!! yay.so exciting. am certainly looking forward to hols. been longing to go melbourne for years. hmm.. like since before x went there.. now she's back and we still haven't gone there yet. hahas. i think i can't wait to get out of sin esp when the weather's so hot.

2004-04-17T23:02:00.000+08:00

decided to change my template again. hope it looks better.
went down to ccab this morning.. the few times that my mum suggests going for a jog. so yea. went down to run. saw tj bballers there. nat'l schools i think.. they played against aj. dunno the results though since i was watching the netball selections. but i hope they won.
sn sports day today. was contemplating whether to go back.well, decided not to go since i didn't want to see ccc.. anyway yellow did quite well. won best overall cheer, best family dance, best cheer routine and best house cheer (according to my sis).. so not bad. quite proud of them..yeps.
haiz..think weekends are quite sad. don't have all my fav shows..can't wait til monday then i can watch all my favourite shows again. hahas.

2004-04-15T00:02:00.000+08:00

met esther and her kuz for dinner at genki forum.. markus and michelle are sooo cute!! haven't seen them for sucha long time..but they're still as cuddly. hee. brought them to toys r us after tt. spent nearly an hour there choosing an item tt was less then 5 dollars and smaller then their palm. in the end markus bought a binoculars and telescope set. while michelle got herself a nail dryer. actually.. when you look carefully. there're actually alot of things tt can be bought despite the tough criteria. but with marku's exquisite taste.. he didn't want to settle for ath less than lego...though he still gave in in the end.. took quite afew pictures too. can't wait for them to be developed..
just talked to my aunt over the phone..never imagined myself to be talking so long over the phone with any of my aunts. hee. but it's a pretty interesting experience. learnt tt cyan will be coming back soon. been feeling quite bad since i owe her mail.. hahas. well...can't wait to see her.. come back quick! hmmz... think i shall go reply her later..

.strawberry.pear.apple.orange.
my current fav song manx. by twins.haha.. think the title damn lame..the whole song's crap and super farnie. but it's quite nice too...
ooh.. and don't copy my [i].. copyright! hahas.

2004-04-13T22:16:00.000+08:00

there's mochi in singapore! cool huh. discovered them at the supermarket this morning. hahas. bought my fav sesame mochi. but too bad it comes in boxes of six. so end up having two yam flavoured ones as well. nvm..it's nice too. ate 2 this afternoon. it's as good as those in hk manx..hahas. or rather they're identical anyway. wonder if my aunt knows bt it yet. if not i should go tell her soon..
well, the only setback is that you gotta finish them as fast as you can before it melts here. whereas in hk you can eat them as slowly as you want during winter. anyways.it's good so long as there's sth else to fill my fridge..hahas.
kinda got reminded of the last hk trip..think it's one of the most memorable trip. elements of family and friends in the same trip..extremely rare. it was enjoyable spending the day babysitting cousins. then roaming the streets at night. remembered desserts at tang chao, walking the same route 2 nights in a row munching on mochi, and the super gross pig's i dunno what from the roadside stall, the scout look-a like building, the underpass..hahas. had 2 reallie great nights then..to cy: thanks for e company! gee. don't even remember thanking you for tt before..too bad we didn't make our way to lkf.. else it'll be damn fun...hee
it's reallie nice travelling in groups. looking forward to june.. hopefully my aunts and coussies can join us again and maybe we could plan another holiday together. ahhh..i can't wait. i miss my partner!! think all my cousins are so adorable...especially my partner klare. we'll still be partners the next trip kaes..(",)
to ivan: don't worry bt more k..all the best for exams yar. know you studied hard for it.. good luck!

2004-04-12T08:50:00.000+08:00

spent most of the weekend with my family..it's so nice spending time with them especially if you haven't seen some of them for sucha long time. celebrated gran's birthday at gardens jumbo on sat.
happy birthday grandma!
though everything was similar to last year..hmm.. the same food and even the same room!! it was so heart-warming to have everyone sitting together enjoying a meal. really liked the cosy atmosphere with 17 people squeezing at one table and it's really nice to see everyone chatting away so happily. like every other gathering..they always end up gossiping about me. wonder why. anyways i think it's pretty cool to just sit there and listen to what they have to say. so tt was exactly what i did. and end up providing entertainment singing karaoke though i can't sing for nuts. hahas. but everyone was just so busy talking no one wanted to sing..oh wells, the kids always end up being entertainers...
went to sushi tei yesterday. saw karen workin there. and we had free ice-cream.. yay!! thanks (:
the food there's good. tried this salmon belly soup. sounds gross at first. but it turned out to be quite nice. yums.
been talkin to samuel..and yes..relieving orientation days. it's quite sad actually. everyone seems to have lost contact with each other. well, hopefully with my help. we'll be able to gather everyone back again.. and so started talking to my og mates again after 2 years. good to know that everyone's been doing fine and all..hee. zephyrus rules!

i wished i didn't see what i saw.
but will just have to hide it inside.
how can i even share this with anyone?
to you:
though you'll probably never read this..
really appreciate your presence and all tt you've done.
thanks for being part of my life...

sigh..there's piano lessons ltr and driving and then back to tj.. boring day. i need retail therapy! hopefully i'll be able to squeeze some time out for shopping..

2004-04-07T21:03:00.000+08:00

went for ura interview today. ok.. it was better than i thought. thankfully. no current affairs, no character qns. though i think i kinda screwed up my essay yesterday. hope they won't die of laughing at the crap which i wrote. was abit hesitant to go thru this process initially. was stressful no doubt but i'm glad i went. the interviewers were very friendly. spent almost half an hour talking to them. one of the interviewer was so thrilled tt i lived so near jln kayu. and he kept asking me if i've tried the prata there. and then he went on and on about the prata. apparently he lives somewhere in my estate and frequents jln kayu prata?!? hahas. anws. guess i'm getting more enthu bt it now. since the ppl there are reallie nice and funny.
went over to han's place yesterday night. chatted til almost 10 plus..had a really good chat since we haven't talked for sucha long time.. like her place. nice quiet area. even tried venturing out towards serangoon river but couldn't cross those high grasses. hahas.ooh.. and love her roof garden too. it's really the best place to sit and talk with the best view. shall visit her again soon before the view gets blocked.

2004-04-04T01:05:00.000+08:00

went for smu talk with sue this morning..thot it would be quite boring. but it was quite good afterall. gotta admit it's quite inspiring. they got good speakers down.. but anyhow it's all just marketing ploy. oh well. i guess i'll still stick to what i've applied for.
been walking so much today think my legs are going numb. went back and forth citylink mall think i covered it 8 times..sigh. wonder how i survived orienteering last time...gosh
met up with the rest of the class for dinner at esplanade. had california bristro. think the food there's not bad. and not too ex as well. then went to harry's..chilled out for awhile. it's so nice meeting everyone after so long.. took so many pictures.hahas. i miss 34/02.. and i miss ms kwan!! it's so nice to hear from her. and she was so sweet to write to all of us. a short note tt truly made my day.

catherine's right..watching our video makes us cry.
i cried and i can't believe i did. i love you all...
well..watched passion of the christ last night. guess i'm not one who will appreciate such movies. bloody and gruesome..saddistic also. yeah. but actually it's not bad..quite inspiring.. it got me inspired.

met up with bb, cy, cyn and cat for dinner at marche yesterday. and we all had a treat from cy. hmm..wonder why someone's so generous. hahas. had desserts at crepes and creme after tt.. after spending almost 15mins deciding on the ice-cream flavors.. half of what we wanted was not available. quite dumb la.. wasted our time. and then the super pissed looking waiter..think he was not happy that we ordered only desserts. anyhows. think the ice-cream there's not bad. love lava brownie..yums
the guys had to leave early so the 3 of us attempted walking down to dhoby ghaut. end up sitting in front of meridien. had a long chat with cat and cyn. haven't had such a heart to heart talk with them for a long time. found out some secrets too. hmm.. then our conversation ended aruptly by some freaking snails tt invaded the area. there was one tt got stuck on my shirt and another tt stuck on cyn's skirt. damn gross. i swear i'll never sit there again.
well, the guys are enlisting today. hope everything goes well for them. can't wait to see them return with botak heads. hahas.

was chatting w kenneth.. at sucha weird time. hahas. talking about how we used to be monkeys ard the house. hmm.. looks like ken can take over bb soon. someone who used to climb window grills. and fell but still con't climbing. i remembered how i used to climb the water pipe in my gran's hse to the tune of incy-bitcee spider. and then sliding down the pipe when i was being washed away. had so much fun then. and the way i clinged myself to the gate..abit spider like. sounds dumb. but those were the days.
12:43:45 [Kenneth] haha.childhood always seems so nice. no worries, just eat n play only haha
sometimes i wish i could return to those days when there was nothing to worry about. everything seemed planned. there was nth to bog you down. just wondering what was the next cartoon on tv. i think the only thing tt i had to remember was what time my fav shows start.
as time goes by. all these memories just gets fainter. we've to start making decisions for ourselves. and then the stress builds up. mum's nagging me on my decisions of life. i wished i never had to leave my comfort zone. after 18 years of life and u realise tt's only how little you've gone thru. there's so much more to come. i hate uncertainty.

haven't updated for afew days. so many things happened.. the new maid was supposed to come in on thurs but she end up being detained by immigration and was deported back for reasons they don't want to reveal. anyhow.. we've become housemaids til the end of the month.sob.i miss lucia!!
went for oac bbq yesterday. thankfully the rain stopped in time or else it'd be quite sad...had a nice time talking to everyone. expected more ppl to come.. was quite sad tt some cldn't make it whether on purpose or not.i dunno. just feeling very disturbed over the whole matter. the darker side of us...why are things turning out this way? after watching the current batches of trainees. got to admit that 02/03 gals are very serious. and yes we think alot. many times we are very sensitive towards others..and maybe overly sensitive sometimes. it hurts to know how we are feeling towards the club and how we feel towards each other. what happened to the bond and the oac spirit? why can't we just return to the past where everyone cld just mingle freely with everyone? i reallie dunno what to do.. just hate being caught in such a situation. i know it's me and my fault. but this is not what i want to see. this feeling suck. mayb if i were more sensitive in the past things wldn't be like that. but i don't want to be a hypocrite.. i know i have to amend the situation..but for one who doesn't think as much and consider things so deeply i hope it doesn't get worse in the process. i'm sorry for all tt i've caused.
to you-know-who-you-are.. i know there's alot of stuff that i'm supposed to tell you but never reallie had the chance to. i doubt i can keep it any longer..forgive me k.

finally completed uni application. at least got sth off my mind though there's still the personal statement for ucas tt's waiting to be written.and i reallie dunno what to write. sigh.very tired of all these applications.
managed to get abit tanner today after kayaking. which is good. haven't been under the sun for a very long time. wanted to kayak at pa pasir ris. went all the way to pasir ris then realise it closes for maintanence every monday. gotta thank jz for checking it out. at least we managed to get down to east coast quickly frm the interchange. or else by the time we get all the way to pa and back we'd have wasted another hour.
rented kayaks at costa sands. the ocean kayaks were not bad though i still perfer the conventional ones. hahas. didn't know there were kayak rentals there. at least we've got one more choice now. wanted to kayak longer actually since i haven't kayaked for sucha long time but in the end only spent bt an hour out at sea. managed to go from costa sands to bedok hawker. thought it was gg to rain.. but thankfully the weather was kind enough. went cycling after tt.. had alot of fun. esp on the tandem bike. which was meant for kids. hahas. think i wanna go kayaking again soon. erm.. think this is gonna get to sue and rach who have decided not to go out to sea for a long time... hee. but to me.. it's really a pleasure being out there. it's like in the open and u can feel free to go in any direction. plus the cool waters..it's just so relaxing. i love the sea!

had lunch at genki todae. starting to feel like a japanese soon after having jap food twice in 2 days. boring. what was worse. found a moth caught in between two pieces of ice after finishing my drink. was munching on the remaining ice and nearly put it in my mouth. showed it to the waitress after tt and she was like super panic. could have lodged a complain. but they all looked so stunned decided not to. i'm kl afterall..hahas
after watching other country's elections... i'm quite thankful i live in singapore. though it lacks excitement but at least it lacks violent at the same time. i guess singaporeans don't bother. it's just like how everyone keeps complaining but it never gets further than complains. well, but maybe we're missing out on all the pre-elections activities tt don't really exist here.. which i heard were very interesting back in taiwan last week.hmm
looking forward to kayaking tmr. haven't kayaked for a long time.. hope it doesn't rain. apparently floods are expected within these few days.guess i shall just pray hard for fine weather. i wanna get a tan.

got a new table lamp in my room. from barang barang.. an item to add to my current barang cow. but it's still not working yet. the bulb is missing.. sigh. shall go get the bulb soon. i love my new lamp! hahas.
met the oacians for coffee. and learnt more about the expedition. hmmz... think we haven't had such a gathering for a very long time. so nice to be sitting ard and hanging out again. but there were those issues that kept lingering. sad? disappointed? i dunno. just feel tt it'll be a pity if it was going to end like that.
watched eye2. thot it was an english movie. then only after the show started i realised it was a chinese film. it was pretty ok. expected it to be scarier though. then my mum called at the last min of the show. missed the ending scene while talking to her. it's like right at the last part of the show.. haiz. nvm... at least it's not as bad as people who came in like half an hour after the show started.
ooh.. bought a new bag today too. thanks! (:

well...another week's past. and everything's still as unsettled. need to start applying for uni soon. so many decisions to make.. i need to decide what i'm going to do with my life and i admit i suck at making such choices. argh
went chinablack with ivan, sue and jz last night. started off fine and then the music just got frm bad to worse. eventually got thrown out coz of some dumb reason. but i guess it was a relief for all of us since our ears were dying. actually i cldn't wait to leave.. but i still hate that security guy. anyway think was a crappy night. walked all the way down to killiney road after tt. wanted to have kaya toast then realised the shop was closed. end up taking a cab back to crown prince for swensens. never ever imagined myself eating earthquake at 3 am in e morning. my gosh. though super sinful but it was good. *hahas*
haven't really been blogging the last week. think i'm getting lazier by the day. the effects of slacking..? hmm..i shall make better use of my blogger account..
