The past few days have been NONSENSE-LY HOT!!! CRAPPY! INCORRIGIBLE! I've been perspiring even when I sleep and when I wake up! (In need of an air-con terribly right now! ): ) Totally feel like I'm in a sauna 24/7. Omg. PLEASE MR THUNDERSTORM! WE NEED YOU!

Hot complains aside, school has officially started! Even with just 2 modules unlike the 3 most of the fulltime students in my class take (I'm considered a fulltime student too since I'm taking daytime classes), I feel like I've just been knocked off my socks with the impending amount of workload required PER module. Like, assignments questions are READY for us to tackle - just waiting for our tutor to say GO, the countless numbers of readings we have to do (I read one through already for my PR mod, and I was practically 'HUH.. huh.. oh.. HUH!?..shit..forgeddit it!' Yeeeeah. Cheem, 20th century English. You'll wonder how the fuck they piece such CRAZY sentences and words together).. I wonder what's it gonna be like for HTM Law. Geez. I really do hope I will be able to do constant revision leh! Wouldn't wanna screw this up!

...And, it's MID-YEAR EXAMS TIME. Half of my students want extra tuition and I'm practically squeezing them into my schedule, even just for an hour of tuition. I wouldn't wanna screw the little social life that I have (half day on Sat, full day on Sun. Mon and Fris are school days with one tuition lesson squeezed at the end of the day) so I just tell my students that I'm not free during my weekends after Sat morning. I HAVE A LIFE TOO! Went out for lunch with the Tribe one Friday and I was so SHACKED after lunch and tuitions til 10pm, I rejected their supper outing, even though it's nearby at East Coast Beach. Felt like a walking zombie zzzzzzzzzzz -.- But I don't care, this Thursday evening I'm still gonna join baby, Candy and maybe Nad & Dee at Helipad for Sugarlove! Tmr after tuitions gonna crash at baby's to watch Thank You For Smoking and (just to be kiasu since tutor recommended) Supersize Me for PR, else I'd have to go back to school on Saturday to watch it. Baby downloaded them for me HEH :D ♥ So I'm spending time with baby AND satisfying a subject task (if I'm not wrong we need to watch the movie to do our first assignment!). PERFECT COMBI (:

Can't wait for Bangkok, BB and i are flying in 30hours' time (: Pray for our safety! We've registered with MFA and gotten insurance. HAHA. In case.

Same Singapore Reality, please take your time to arrive. Wish I could be away from it more often.

HELLO.

We made FANTASTIC MINCED PORK + ITALIAN SAUSAGE LASAGNA YO YO YO! :DDD Omg what a DAY it was! So I dragged myself out of bed last Sunday morning at 10.30am to bathe and get ready to grocery-shop and make the best lasagna ever. Dragged BB out of bed at 11am and we set off to TP's NTUC. Our total grocery-shopping receipts totaled up to $80 can you imagine. We bought our lasagna ingredients as well as pokpok (junk food- Twisties, KitKat, 2 tubs of sinful Ben & Jerry's!!!) that's why. Heh. It was $80 well-spent ok! But but but. When we reached home BB's oven kept tripping the electricity of his house -.- Last resort? We cabbed to his aunt's place in Potong Pasir to bake. But no, we realised she didnt have an oven, but a MICROWAVE OVEN AND TOASTER. We were like, sua la, just put it in the MICROWAVE! (Please don't judge/scrutinise! With just 10-15mins in the MICROWAVE compared to the 30-45mins in the CONVECTIONAL OVEN, we made lasagna!) Left some for his aunts and grandpa before heading back to his place to devour it. His aunt said it was really yummy :D We ate finish everything can. Hahaha. :D

Well BB's going strong with his abstinence from that no-brainer, no-advantage-causing rolled-up piece of toxic-inducing shit of a stick :DDD ♥♥♥ So proud of him! So he kept at one stick per day for two days after he tried going Cold Turkey but during the third day he vomitted twice right after smoking saying that it was the worst feeling he felt, with headache, lung pain and all. He didn't pick another one up ever since (it's Day 4 today?! :D ). What a guai boy. I love him so. (: Vic was very surprised but glad that he had decided to quit :D

EXCITED FOR TOMORROW. Besides throwing more money to school of course. Gonna plan up my modules timetable for my upcoming sem (: Vic choped the same slot as me to meet our respective course coordinators hyukhyuk! School's starting in 2 weeks yay!!! I can't wait to go back to studying I swear. I don't know why I sound like such a nerd. But yeah somehow I have that feeling. Haha.

Tuition's been OK, don't have that much of the dragging feeling anymore. Maybe cos their mid year exams are coming and they are more focused and hardworking, and finishing chapters after chapters with them are making me feel more accomplished :D Really hope they all pass with flying colours.

2010-04-10T01:52:00.002+08:00

This is like my Twitter spot today, without any limits :D Where oh where did this blogging spirit come from?! Heh. I don't think I'll be this diligent again for sure, we'll see.

Bb's most prolly gonna be mobilised tomorrow by our Decisive Force, so will prolly be able to meet him tomorrow evening if we're lucky, Sunday if not. I miss my man-bolster. Hahahaha sorry please don't puke d: Despite him giving in to that damned toxic, tar-inducing tobacco stick he can't really live without (YET OK! YET! I have MUCH FAITH IN HIM), I still love that stupid boy. Stupid boy!!! Make sure you FIGHT OKAY! FIGHT IT!

Can't wait to make minced pork lasagna with bb (: Our past food experiments have been successful albeit the track record isn't what you would call a track record as is- we baked a homemade traditional apple pie with Regina and Glenn, potato salad for our Shack picnic and random, simple stuff like searing salmon, cooking scrambled eggs, maggi mee (yes he's so particular about the noodle I never really cared about that) and frying hotdogs and nuggets.. We do love to cook for each other. It's fun and we always have that silly little proud sense of satisfaction we carry with us for a while after cooking (: Hahah. So can't wait. Gotta find a proper recipe first hmmmm.

Sidenote, yay my REC 2 just finished downloading! \(^^)/ Shall watch it tomorrow in between my tuitions. Now off to bed soon.

2010-04-09T16:44:00.001+08:00

Spoke. Too. Soon.

2010-04-09T12:47:00.005+08:00

Hello dusty blog.

Realised that I feel lost. The albeit single-sized, lower level of the bunk bed in my now-mother's room seems like it's too big, even with my bolster to hug. Last night I spent half the night thrashing left and right, half-asleep. The bed felt so empty and wide. At bb's house, at least I have him to hug. We squeeze in his single-sized bed but I like it just fine cos we can sleep cosying up to each other. My bed doesn't reside in my room.

Thinking about it, I've never had my own room in my entire 21 years of life and somehow right now, I wish I do.. A space where I can have a proper study table, a space where I can decorate, a sanctuary that belongs to me~ Whenever I'm using the laptop/mugging for exams, it's always on the table in the room where mum and I share, but mummy's habit is to blast the radio in her room when she comes back home from work and usually turns in before I do. I hate to disturb her entertainment and sleeping time.. She works almost every day.. So where do I go..

Things are too complicated at home to wish for that now in this current house. The only way to have my own room is prolly if 1) we buy a bigger house, 2) mummy and papa reconciles (okay that is like saying let me fly a rocket to the moon right now) or 3) I move out.

All of the above sounds nearly the impossible at this point in time.. The only place closest to my own space is with bb, and being with him there makes me feel so at ease.

Somehow I feel like.. I'm growing up.

On a sidenote, I'm a very proud of my dear bb- he survived Day One of cold turkey :DDD He deserves a very big MUACKS!

♥

Omg I failed my driving practical ): I la, destroyed everything at the last moment of circuit. I went through all the obstacles- vertical parking, parallel parking, slope, directional change, s-course and crank course without a hitch except for 2 demerit points at parallel parking where I turned the wheel while the vehicle was stationary. But at the exit point of the last obstacle, the crank course, I kena immediate failure. Not cos I mounted the kerb but cos I failed to give way to traffic on the main road. KNS. IMMEDIATE FAILURE sia. The driver, a girl, was driving damn slowly at my right and her face was plastered with question marks. I was like, OK, why is she looking so confused she should just speed up and let me go already cos I just received instructions from the tester to turn right. I waved for her to go but her speed remained the same. So I dunno what possessed me (I think I was blur la, the fact that I was about to turn into the main road didn't occur to me), I just drove up and turned right, passing her car. Fucking hell. Super wasted! That was a stupid decision la.

Think my re-test should be in end March. Gotta work on my little mistakes and get used to traffic situations more /: Oh well I'm still a road hazard so at least the roads are still safe. Lol. But sigh gotta spend more moolah. Sponsorship deal with Dad expired already so gotta fork out from my own pocket. I am officially in dire straits! ):

Got $100 worth of CapitaLand vouchers for my birthday from my Tribe and a few bowlers (: Gonna make full use of it and go for retail therapy later. Tonight gonna attend No. 1 Trance DJ Armin Van Buuren's party at Zouk with baby and some other colleagues (: I hope my alcohol endurance is still there!

2009-01-01T23:57:00.008+08:00

Hello 2009.

2008's been very very eventful. First year of freedom after 12 years of schooling. Haha. Super shiok feeling! I remember having a blast of a birthday all thanks to my Thursday Club on the 6th of January to kickstart my new year :D Then came 9th January when I started as a server in Harry's Boat Quay before becoming a barmaid in end February in the newly-opened Harry's Shenton Way. Then came the trip with the bowlers to Bintan where we went bodysurfing and clubbing at a beach club for the very first time :D Then in May, Deborah, Krystal, Michelle my ex-vice-class chairwoman and Clar went for a superduper funtastic trip to Bangkok :D First time taking the plane since I was a teeny tod! Then in August, quit Harry's due to school and decided to do part-time at another bar. That's when I started at Loof (: Been great there ever since! A really good decision I made I would say, cos that's where I learnt more about bartending, had a lot of fun while I was at it and enjoyed a new environment- 90percent of my colleagues are around my age, so some of us are quite tight as friends outside of work :D, music is gooooood (no more jazz /: house and acoustic mmm!) - and that's where I met Dominguez Santos (: These are the most memorable events of my 2008 (:

The last few hours of 2008's spent working at Loof. The bartenders all drank after the countdown. Walao eh tah-ed a vodka RedBull and Mumm's champagne in the end got quite sagh that I couldn't aim. Haha. I remember that I wanted to put a scoop of ice into the ice water jug but only half the scoop of ice went in and when I wanted to put a lime wedge into the mouth of a Corona bottle I either pushed a little too hard or I missed the mouth by a bit so down went the bottle onto the bar mat and some beer leaked out X: Vincent was like, wey wey wey you OK or not?! in half-laughter cos he know I'm most probably halfway up in the clouds already xD I managed to put the bottle upright and pushed a lime wedge halfway through the mouth but the amount of beer that leaked out was rather obvious. The whole neck of alcohol from the bottle was gone (x Luckily quick-thinking Vincent instructed me to pump some soda into the bottle to save the alcohol else sagh Zen would just be like, just serve la! Managed to escape a tequila shot and glass of Rosé (x I just pretended that I was damn busy stocking up/cleaning la. Hahaha. Caught Mervin and Derick hiding at either sides of the kitchen while the alcohol was being served xDDD Damnnnn funny. Went to Supperclub after work. Stayed over at baby's place after that.

The bowlers popped by after the countdown and Warren snapped a pic of me and Nad at work :D (It's when I was sagh :D )

I really hope that 2009 will be as eventful (good ones!!!!!!) as 2008 (: I'm sorry, baby, that the new year didn't start off right ): I really hope we won't have anymore misunderstandings. I love you so much.
This afternoon, baby and I went cycling. Haha okay, or rather, he cycled while I just stood at the back xP I didn't help at all, I just added weight (a lot of weight I must add!) to the back and baby had a hard time when we went through narrow poles, upslopes and manouvreing around. I offered to cycle us instead but scrapped the idea after getting on the bike and discovering that my feet didn't touch the ground /: Wasn't confident that the journey will be in safe hands! We were supposed to get to Toa Payoh Lorong 8's market's ATM to transfer some money but when we got there the ATM wasn't working. Omggg. Baby had to cycle around the estate to look for another ATM but we only managed to find one at Lorong 7. Luckily we had a little rest while transferring money. Heh. Baby managed to ride us safely back while tolerating his not-at-all-light girlfriend at the back (x You're still the best baby! Haha. I must admit, it really felt like those old school romance you see in movies xD Rah lemme lose some weight then at least baby will consider doing that again. HAHA (x

Before I go, I'd like to shoutout-

A HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY TO DEAREST SHAMAYNE SARBO! :DDD

She's hit 2 decades! Hahaha. I should be laughing at myself too because mine's not far away either. We are so old omg twenty!!!! ): I will miss being a teen. Haha.

2008-12-26T02:23:00.006+08:00

Hello.

I should be sleeping now but I just felt like my life's been whizzing by just like that, I should document some part of it before I forget them.

Work's been okay, we've got 2 new bartenders, Mervin and Indra on Christmas Eve. Walao eh! Didn't expect it to be so dead. I was stoning half the time cos Jianling, Mervin, Indra and Anselm were in the bar too so we had 10 hands. But at one point in time even with only me and Mervin we could still stone. Lols. Perhaps another reason why were were stoning is cos it's the first time we're working together. Couldn't take doing nothing so started with breakdown at about 1am. While wiping the fingerprint-marked Redbull fridge Steven was like, "Walao eh bo me kia zoh ar?!" Oh well it's only when it's boring and sian and you need to find something to do and it's actually a good thing you notice even the littlest of stains right? :D

I know this sounds a little unfair, but I get quite GRRRR with the server-newbies. At first I was okay with them. But sometimes ar, they can get very ignorant. They keep forgetting to spike their captain orders and they do really silly things. One of them could ask me, while half-lifting the ice-filled martini glass being chilled while the bartender was shaking the drink, "Is it okay already?" It's one of the most omg-moments I have in Loof. Lols. Cannot tahan sia.

Christmas was spent at Loof and after that a number of us headed down to Balcony to celebrate Clara's birthday and have a Christmas outing. Too bad the birthday girl didn't feel so well so she just slept due to the Waterfall she had prior to the outing, poor thing. We sat around a small table indoors and played Big Fish Small Fish, Who What Huh and 007 Bang all in 15mins. Hahaha. Cos they all didn't work out due to stupid JARed. Ji siao kia. Haha. He's one damn funny ah beng I swear. Super entertaining but sometimes you feel like strangling him. Haha. Left at 6am with baby and sleptover.

Today had a Christmas potluck picnic with a few of the bowlers and baby at ECP (: I'm really very very happy that he could get along well with them (: (And that he went over to Glenn's with me to bake with him and Reg!) Had a Secret Santa gift exchange too. I got Royce Chocs from Glenn! Haha. We went to play arcade at BK upstairs after that for awhile. Omg I think the video of baby playing para para will be on YouTube/FB soon enough! (x One entertainer la he.

Alright I'd better head to bed. Sending lunch over to baby's place tmr before heading to work together. Hope that it'd be livelier than Christmas Eve!

Oh and I'm glad that Taytay got home safely from the US! Poor thing got stuck in Chicago for 4 days /:

Good nighttttt!

Is It Love - Iio (what's spinning on my blog right now (; Dedicated to you, b (: )

I never knew a love
A love that could be sweeter
No matter what my mind says
Your music gives me fever
The moment that we danced
Your arms felt like a cradle
And when you took my hand
I was no longer able
It never felt so right before
I need to be with you much more
I can't believe this kind of fate
We can runaway...
Is it love?
I'm always in a spell
Even when I sleeping
You're always on my mind
I hope that I'm not dreaming
If I am let me stay asleep
Don't wake me up I feel complete
I never want to feel it end
What a lovely moment
I wanna give you my love
Overtime
I wanna make love to you
Overtime
I wanna be right next to you
Overtime
I wanna be in love with you
Overtime

Learnt how to park the car today! With the help of poles but oh well! So happy I progressed hehe! Baby's asking me to learn how to drift -.-" I wonder if you know, how they live in Tok-kee-yo... *starts dancing to the song* Anyone who'd like to volunteer a manual car for me to practise drifting?

Today's the last lesson for Principles of Accounting. We did a revision tutorial on what's coming out for the exam and after the 4th question I pengsan already. Was sooooooo tired omg dunno how to describe. I felt like a saturated piece of sponge. Just copied off the 5th question's answer from Jordan cos buay tahan already. For the last hour of lesson just stoned down there and copied whatever lecturer wrote on the board without absorbing anything. But at least I did 4 out of the 5 questions hehe I can say I'm almost done with Accounting revision yay!

This morning I woke up to this-

*Heart melts into a puddle* SO CUTE RIGHT. She looks so sweet there AH! Even in my groggy state I knew I had to capture this. Haha. Kissed her ear but she still did not budge. Must be in her rainbow-and-puppies dreamland. Haha.

2008-12-10T11:47:00.007+08:00

Module exams are comingggg! It's gonna be from next Tues to Thurs with baby's birthday celebration in between. Rah what good timing la seriously. Had a bad feeling about Law Finals and thought I failed Law Class Test but in the end just managed to touch 70, which is a distinction :D That gave me some hope to at least aim for distinction again in the Finals. Must start cramming now or else!!!

Anybody going ZoukOut this Sat??

Oh yes before I forget, last Monday, Warren invited me, Reg and Glenn over to help decorate his Christmas tree! He remembered me telling him in J1 (!) that I've never decorated a tree before! Whoa of course how could I turn that down. Haha. This was what it looked like after we were done-

We had red and gold flowers, white and red dangly jewels, white ornaments, gold lights and a big golden bow to top the tree :D Too bad my 3.2 megapixel phone camera didn't do the tree justice. I will get those photos from Warren and post it up again. After decorating the tree Glenn said that he felt like baking (but he didn't specify WHEN) and my eyes popped out embracing the idea while half in awe that Glenn actually wants to bake while Reg suddenly thought of the delectable apple crumble we had at Shawn's party and immediately Warren was like, we can bake now! Let's go Cold Storage! It was like 9.45pm and Reg was skeptical that it would be open so we headed to FairPrice instead, got the ingredients and baked us an apple ~~pie~~ cake. Lol. The batter didn't turn out right somehow so it became cake-like but twas still really nice with the hard crust on top and soft spongey inside! Haha.

Hokaye I'd better start studying!

2008-10-14T13:53:00.004+08:00

Friend of dancer: What song is this?

2008-10-08T00:33:00.005+08:00

First Day Of School (:

We did Law today. It's going to be this semester's module (Commercial Law) together with Accounting. Commercial Law lectures are held every Tuesday while Accounting's held every Thursday. Class was rather big with about 40 students O: Have not been in such a big class since secondary school. What's different is that about half of the students there are much older than me. There are many working adults there who ranged from 20plus to 40plus years of age. But those whom I've met are really nice (: Our lecturer is cool stuff man, I think we're lucky to have such an interesting Law lecturer. Law's supposed to put you to sleep right, you think? But with Chris around I don't think that'd happen cos he's a part-time lecturer and he's a real-life lawyer as well, so he has MANY interesting courtroom stories to tell. Haha. I think I may come to like the law subject actually. Haha!

BUT what threw me off is that Law exam will be held on Dom's birthday D: And 2 days after that will be Accounting exam. Rahhhhhhhhh! And not to be outdone, first day of Semester 2 will be on my birthday ): OH WELLSERS. School don't make way for birthday plans so gotta just deal with it. Can celebrate earlier I guess..

On a higher note, dearest Shamayne is now in my Jap class! :D She jumped over to me and Vic's school yay! Hehe. Now I've a partner in class whom I can practise Jap with (:

2008-09-30T00:59:00.004+08:00

When Alcohol Takes You Over.

I've learnt from my experience that,

1) Never to tah alcohol when you're already so sagh (high and your sense of balance is almost non-existent) and half-deaf,

2) Never to drink alcohol after you've skipped a meal,

and 3) Never to mix beer and spirits (and wine too?) so casually.

Cos I did all the above 3 major sins /: If you DON'T WANT alcohol to influence you to become a human merlion, I really think those 3 should be your drinking commandments. Yours truly must have been slapped with the label Super Unglam on her forehead after that )))))))))))):

I'm just glad my limits were tested with people whom I could trust. I am still deeply remorseful for that unfortunate event ): One poor soul didnt know how she should best take care of me while another kena my merlion spray and had to take care of me in the end /: So much for being a bartender. Haha how sia like this.

Alcohol talk aside! My driving practical test is going to be on the 9th Jan 2009. I hope I pass!!!!!

2008-09-23T12:53:00.004+08:00

Back to Primary School.

Gonna have a Japanese dictation test on some Hiragana next lesson. SO FAST RIGHT! And yesterday was just my first lesson. I am going to hunt down my primary school exercise book which has squares and practise writing there. I forgot what they use to call it in Mandarin. OH! CI ZI BEN! Hahaha OK yep there you go. I wanna ace my test next week!

Aishiteru!

Met up with the Thursday Club yesterday after Jap class at Siglap's Gelare. They stayed only for about 45mins after I came cos it was rather late already. I arrived only at about 10.15pm :/ Kelvin and Kenneth, both of whom are Deborah and Krystal's 'husbands' respectively, were there too haha. We will be able to have a quartet date in future :D Kelvin, who recently became an air steward, is flying to Paris and Switzerland soon and getting paid for it AH LUCKY DUDE OR WHAT. I hope I'd be able to join him in future!

2008-09-22T14:41:00.002+08:00

Dance was different yesterday, we had to follow the lyrics AND the beat to the song, which is like Lyrical Pop dance. So we learnt how to dance to the pre-chorus to Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis. Twas different from our usual hiphop but twas fun! (:

And talking about dance, I'm finally one step closer to learning how to shuffle :D I can finally do the twist-left-leg-kick-right-leg-and-move-to-the-right step already :D Hahaha. And when I was showing Shamayne my unperfected moonwalk I was able to do it finally! AHHHHHH hahaha. Damn happy larh. Lol. Right now I've this obsession over Shuffling after watching so many people do it and Reg and I thought that if we knew how to shuffle, we'd be able to express our enjoyment for trance/house music so we went YouTube and tried. Really we tried, in her hall in the middle of the night (x Her downstairs neighbours must have wanted to kill us then haha. We both agreed that if we both were studying in NTU and roomed together, we would've failed Uni. Haha. Imagine us skipping/nodding off during morning classes cos we stay up late shuffling. She had to rush an Econs assignment at like 2plus am when we realised that twas getting real late and her Econs tutorial was at 8.30am that very day :/

I've learnt, practice really does make perfect (:

And today, I got him (:

2008-09-20T12:20:00.002+08:00

I dunno why, but even though this week has not ended yet, I feel like more than a week has passed. I think it's cos I've been awake most of the time, spending only a few hours asleep each night. The days feel long and hence it feels like more time has passed than my normal week.

This must be the reason why I feel like I know you longer than when you count the number of days.

YAY I AM STARTING JAPANESE CLASSES THIS COMING MONDAY! :D I have not been in any class for almost 9 months and I'm excited :D It's gonna be held every Monday, 6.30-9.30pm at Tung Ann Building at CBD. Wherever that is. I gotta go find the building! Gonna do Elementary 1 on my own but Shamayne will be switching Jap school and coming to mine's and Vic's (Yano Language School) for Elementary 2 :D I need a partner in class so I can anyhow rattle broken Jap to her and become good at it. Haha.

Doushite kimi wo suki ni natte shima tan darou?

2008-09-12T13:58:00.004+08:00

I PASSED MY FTT! :D

Ah so sleepy now. Only slept for a few hours last night. And I woke up late even with an alarm! I was supposed to wake up at 8.30am to get ready for E-Trial at 10.15am but yesterday night I unknowingly set the alarm for 9.30am. And I could even snooze for 15mins! -.-" I cabbed down immediately for E-Trial. Luckily only E-Trial! :P

Hoping for a Practical Test date in December! Wanna get my licence before my birthday heh!

Talking about birthdays, I want a fedora for my birthday! Wait, I want many in different colours (black/grey/brown..)! Haha. The noona in SHINee's reality tv show has influenced me. Haha. Less than 4 more months to go! Omg see. Please don't get me started on my birthday xP

Work tonight, then heading down to chef Johnson's birthday (!) chalet. Then dance on Sunday morning followed by XLB (Xiao Long Bao) at Ding Tai Fung with the Tribe! :D

2008-09-07T21:38:00.005+08:00

I think I'm experiencing insomnia. I can't seem to fall asleep as easily as last time even after a long ardous day and even when my eyelids feel so tired my mind is still whirring with thoughts of the day and the number of hours spent asleep has reduced. And that is not because I have to wake up to something in the morning or afternoon but cos I just can't seem to go back to sleep.

For example, one night, I slept at 1am and woke up at 5am. I tried to go back to sleep but I couldn't, so at 5.30 I gave up and decided to have breakfast and read the newspaper. I climbed back into bed at 6.30 hoping to catch a few more hours of sleep and thankfully I managed to sleep for a few more hours.

Then on Saturday, I only came home at 7am after working on Friday night and only managed to sleep till 12pm cos I couldn't sleep anymore.

And today, I came home at 7am again cos my colleagues and I went MOS the night before. I slept like a log (for the first time in a week?) till 12pm when Vic called and I could still fall asleep till my alarm rang at 1pm. I think alcohol helped. Haha. AH IF I WERE TO DRINK EVERY NIGHT I'LL BECOME FAT!

I was telling Regina that she'll be happy to have me around in chalets now cos I won't fall asleep on her in the middle of the night in the middle of a chat anymore xP

Had good food again today :D Sundays rockkkk with my Tribe (: Had mocha lamb chop at some cafe at Katong and Sakae Sushi for dinner :D In between, Vic, YiuYiu, Sham and I caught Boys Over Flowers xD I think I prefer the Taiwanese F4 members but I like the Japanese Shan Cai better. Haha.

Busy week ahead!

I'm such a lazy tard. I feel so lazy whenever it's days I've to work. COME ON ZEN TAN! WORK FOR THE JAPAN TRIP AND SAVINGS! *prays for a windfall instead* (Thinking about it, I've never won the lottery before so I should get a chance! Hahaha omg *slaps self*)

Oh yes, I've ordered SHINee's first album, The SHINee World, from JKPoppy already :D I can be a pirate but nothing beats owning the real thing and the thing I'm looking forward to is the album jacket with the pics and thank-yous, even though they'd most probably be in Korean. But who cares, I'm supporting the boys, that's what's important! (:

Their album cover (:

Yesterday was my first driving lesson with Vic's ex-driving instructor. He's a really patient man, I'm thankful for that. Lol. Cos I made the car stall thrice because I released the clutch when I'm not supposed to and jerked to a stop a few times (like how it is when you're in a bus and the bus drivers always do that every few metres and it gets so annoying) all in a space of half an hour (x Ah I guess that's how it is when I take up Manual instead of Automatic. The gear-changing part will take some getting used to. I'm so kiasu I booked 5 more future lessons and most of which is an hour and a half sessions (x Hopefully I pass my FTT next Friday then my Practical will be at the end of December. Then if I pass that, I'd get to be a licenced driver before my birthday! :D ~~And maybe I'll get a car as a birthday present! OK dream on Zen.~~

I'm off to lunch! Nong Shim Spicy Mushroom!!!

2008-09-01T17:44:00.002+08:00

Down with the flu ): Hate the runny nose and the feeling of discomfort but get to skip work and have a lazy day, so I'm pretty contented. Haha. I get to catch up with Romantic Princess on Crunchyroll and sleep earlier (:

Pretty hyped up for my very first driving lesson on the road tomorrow evening, hope I don't crash the car (x Gonna go book one more e-trial lesson for my FTT just in case as well. Scared I won't pass, then I'd have to re-book and wait for months before my re-take :/ Hopefully I feel better tomorrow!

Yesterday, I had a pretty vivid dream. I don't usually have vivid dreams which I can remember when I wake up. I dreamt that I was in a bowling competition, against other schools. I think I'm still in Saints Bowling because Ms Wong is still my teacher i/c, Uncle Adam is still my coach and Reg was in my team. Anyways, I could remember that there was a break after a few games. I bowled pretty decently, I still remember, and was hoping to maintain my performance or to try to do even better to be Top 3. I found myself in normal clothing (jeans and a tee) and was at one end of the bowling alley chatting with Uncle Adam. The competion was held at the other end of the alley.

After our chat ended, I walked over to the other end and saw that the competitors were already there in their respective lanes and the TV screens were lit up with our names and the arrows were flashing, indicating that we could start the competition already. I panicked cos I wasnt dressed in my bowling attire yet nor was my bowling balls on the rack. Reg gave me this prompting look asking me to go get changed ASAP! So I ran to the toilet but I realised I did not have my bowling attire. I ran out and went to some random bowler (I dunno why I did that) and asked her if she had any extra attire. She searched her bag, took out this red flowery cotton pair of berms and a blue flowery button-down tee and said, "I only have these". I grabbed them immediately and went to change without delay. (I know, what the hell right, they must look like a pair of PJs!) And indeed, I was staring at myself in front of a full-length mirror in the toilet in that pair of PJ-lookalike outfit. I cant bowl in these, I thought. So I ran out again to see if anybody had a set of Saints Bowling attire. And I was surprised to see that everybody in my pair of lanes were in chatter, looking at me. I looked up at the TV screen and sure enough, the only flashing arrow was under my name. They were all waiting for me to get changed! I quickly went to Reg and luckily she had an extra pair of bowling attire so I quickly ran back into the toilet again to change.

When I went out, I saw that everybody had started to bowl. I looked at Ms Wong in confusion. Weren't they all waiting for me a moment ago? I thought. Ms Wong walked over to me and said, "I'm sorry Zen, you're disqualified". "What?! No.." I couldn't believe my ears. But they were waiting for me a moment ago! I thought. I stood there, crestfallen. I know I have no power to do anything else but accept the fact. I felt like crying there and then.

That was the end of the dream.

What a weird dream eh? But it felt real. Lol. I guess I deserved it for being a blur sotong. Haha.

THIS IS MY HOT NEW TEMPLATE, Y'ALL :D I'M SO MIGHTY PLEASED WITH IT, FEATURING THE AWESOME CHOI SIWON ♥ :D:D:D This man makes me swoon a thousand times over ahhh! Haha. Credits to my dearest and very talented Shamayne, THANK YOU SO MUCH I LOVE IT! ♥♥♥ Dont you think she's been amazing with my templates? The pictures are done by her own hands and inspirations! Everything is in one page, so little navigation is needed and all info is right smack here, no need to clickclickclick anymore (: Do enjoy the template! :D

Work's starting tomorrow at Loof, so will see how it goes (: FOR JAPAN & SAVING MONEY! (: Gotta reach for that international cocktail list of mine and go through it again before work tomorrow cos I think my memory's been rusty over the past 2 months of no bartending. And I havent bought that bar blade (Temple Street's about half an hour's bus ride away and I was pretty lazy the past few days -.-"), think I'll do it tomorrow before I head to work :D

Weekend was a blast, spent it with the bowlers and the Tribe (though minus TayTay ): ). Saturday I went bowling with Anuaar @ CSC Bukit Batok and also to meet Reg there cos she was having her NTU bowling tryouts. We arrived at 1 but no lanes! ):):): So we decided to be on the waiting list and proceeded to play pool to kill time. After an hour, we got a lane and we played 3 games. Managed to bowl rather decently with a bit of beginner's luck heh (135, 235, 150) but there wasnt a proper roll so sad! ): Had to go at 3.30pm cos there was an event there after that. Reggie got first in the tryouts and also got the highest game award! Woots woots! I am proud of her (: Sigh, how I wish we can be bowling partners again! I'm sure we may have the chance when we're older and working. That can be our leisure sport (; Left with her cos Uncle Francis was able to send us back :D

Changed and met Krystal, Mumtaz, Deborah, Kelvin (Deb's cousin/hubby/partner) and Kenneth for dinner at Far East's Ramen Ten.

(Piccah of us at Starbucks! We look so white.. :/ Even Mumz! As in too white huh!) MISSED THEM TO BITS! So glad to be able to meet them and catch up after a month or so?! I used to be able to see the girls EVERYDAY in school and now only.. monthly meetups! Ah and you know how girls are, even seeing each other everyday in school is not enough, we'll still chat like we have not met each other for ten years and even carry on that accompaniment to afterschool outings xD After dinner, we proceeded to Starbucks next to Orchard's Swensens for dessert (warm chocolate cakes, java chip frapp, passionfruit tea!) and Ashraf, Mumtaz' bf, came to join us as well (: So we chatted and chatted till about 11pm when Krys' mum came to fetch her and went our separate ways. DINNER AGAIN SOON OK! ♥ (:

Took a bus down to Dhoby and met Warren, Darryl and Joel at a cybercafe opp Paradiz. We're planning to wait for Glenn to fly back to Singapore from Aussie and have supper with him. Saw Ho Yun there, omg havent seen him in ages! (I really do miss the longlost bowlers leh, cant wait to see them all next Saturday during our gathering before Liz leaves for the UK) Played CS with them for awhile before Warren, Joel and I left to have tau huay at Selegie while Darryl went to fetch Clar. Joel left and Glenn came. We then all met Reg, Darryl and Clar at Siglap's HK Cafe to have dimsum (: (Suddenly I feel so, how to describe ah, fortunate to be at that spot because it's like a reunion. Haha. And we've all been close ever since end of J1 till now and also with the boys serving the nation we're still holding weekly gatherings (: ) Then we went to Warren's place to.. GUITAR HEROOOOOO! Omg I think I love that game now. After DDR! Haha! But I suck at it. Lol. It's so addictive I swear. Very fun. Reg is PRO-NESS! Walao eh I am so jealous. Haha! The guys were very good at it. Must be the ample practice they've gotten, me and Clar were the noobs -.-" Left Warren's place at 5.30am -.-" Haha.

TODAYYEE! ZEN/CHOI TRIBE DAY! ♥ :D Fun as always :D Sham and Vic say that they look forward to Sundays cos it's when they are broken free from starvation and boring food during the weekdays respectively xD I'm glad! Today, we continued on our Food Exploration Series (suddenly sound like Super Junior's Exploration of the Human Body lols!). Brought them to Central for lunch, where we ate ramen, dashi-something tamago (it's like thick omelette with stock sauce) and char siew at this Jap rest which only serves ramen and side dishes, I forgot the name -.-" Love the two side dishes we ordered, theyre super good! Shamayne's friend, Shane, joined us and we all went for dessert at Azubo Sabo at the first level. We took a very long time deciding what to eat because the number of desserts we could choose from was huge and we couldnt stop talking. HAHA. Embarrassing moments of the Tribe were spilled to Shane, poor victims include yours truly -.-" Everybody have their bimbo moments, hokaye. Reg then had to leave to meet Anuaar while Shane went to queue up to collect his goodie bag for the Nike 10K run nearby. Sham, Vic and I then walked around Central aimlessly but had a great time just catching up and being excited for our Japan trip (: Decided to budget and eat something non-Japanese so we went Western by going opposite Central at Fishermen's Wharf to have fish! So cheap and yummy! We had cream dory fillet at $6.50 each! It comes with fries/chips (: Shane came back and ate there too, after we were done with our food. So we sat there and talked somemore before heading back at 9.30pm. Shane's clickable with our Tribe and we invited him to more of our Sunday food outings (: One thing about him though, he has LOOOOOONG HAIR! Second guy friend of mine with hair length past the shoulders. Lol. Xiao mei!

That was my very enjoyable weekend (: Anticipating for next weekend!

Oh yes before I end off, HAPPY 24th/25th in Korea BIRTHDAY TO YESUNG (from Super Junior)! His voice is ranked top 3 in Suju and I dont doubt that! Poor boy, I think he's an unsung hero cos everybody likes to bully him! Especially in EHB, if you watch it you will understand (x More camera attention to Yesung please! Give this boy some credit! Haha. Suju will definitely not be as entertaining/funny/great a group without him!

2008-08-21T23:59:00.000+08:00

Before anything else, Charlene Tay has left Singapore! ): 2 months passed just like that, when she came back to our sunny island for a break from Indiana University ): So quick huhhhh sighs ): I miss her already. Sent her off at the airport on Tuesday night with YiuYiu, Vic, Sham and longlost Kenneth to catch her 11.50pm flight. She last msged me at 12.46am to say that she's in New York. Hope you enjoyed NY! Ive only been able to see NY through a TV/computer screen ):

Y'know, things happen for a reason or two. Like when I typed, 'Zen has realised that being unemployed = no money! ):' on Wednesday on my Facebook shoutout and on the same day I happen to pick up Tuesday's issue of Classifieds just to looksee what part-time jobs are available and TADAH RIGHT IN MY FACE LOOF IS HIRING BARTENDERS. PART-TIMERS INCLUDED. WTF RIGHT! I jumped at it immediately la. I decided to go for an interview, see if they'd hire me. Sidetracking, I really miss bartending, I really do. I've been waitressing for the last 2 months before I resigned and everytime I look at the bar my heart sighs. Haha yeah seriously. I feel like my skills were somewhat there for nothing. But of course the true reason for me being on the floor is to train up another floor staff to be a bartender when I leave and me being on the floor gives me versatility. But still yeah, one misses bartending. So, I guess the chance of me being in the bar again seems to be rather high when I saw that ad and hence, I went for that interview.

I was interviewed by the Assistant Manager. He tested me on what international cocktails are there and the concoctions of the Singapore Sling and Long Island. I AM SO FRIGGING GLAD I COULD STILL REMEMBER! Haha! He looked pleased that the concoctions are still in my head so I am pleased too :D (I took like 2 months to memorise the international cocktails leh! Took A LOT of effort and I'm so glad it came in really handy!) He sounds really nice, so I'm looking forward to working with him and the rest of the crew whom I havent met. Being a part-timer, there's flexibility in choosing the number of days I'd wanna work, but to an extent- I'd have to turn up on Fridays and Saturdays since it's their busy days. It should be alright (: And as always, entering a new environment will mean new people to meet and click with. I hope my new colleagues will be a bunch of fun people to work with (:

The reason why I'm taking this up is also cos I need the moolah! I think I've enough saved up to fund my driving lessons (Mummy's pushing me to ask Papa to sponsor me for those.. I dont know if he'd leh :/) but I dont think it's enough especially if I'm thinking about the trip to Japan next year and saving up for my perpetually expensive degree! I'm thinking of saving a bit now so that when we have to pay back the bank loan the load wouldnt be that bad.

I'm still half a vegetable.. Haha.

OH YES I AM STARTING DRIVING LESSONS ON 2ND SEPTEMBER (: Finally ah! Cant wait cant wait (: Victoria recommended her instructor to me. I hope I'd get the hang of driving fast!

Gonna go Sia Huat buy a bar blade tomorrow (:

2008-08-18T13:14:00.007+08:00

Slacking at home on a Monday.

Haha it feels so.. different. If I was still at work I'd be running around handling the lunch crowd now. Welcome to the new bummer life, Zen. Haha.

Had a sleepover at Charlene's with my Tribe during the weekend and as usual we indulged ourselves in the superfunny episodes of EHB and Full House and ateateate. Haha. On Sunday morning, we managed to wake up at 7am for prata at Simpang Bedok (!!!). And what happened last Sunday? We slept till 11am when we were supposed to wake up at 7am to cycle at East Coast Beach. Lols. After prata, we suddenly craved for frozen yogurt for dessert. Haha! Yami Yogurt!!! But we were at Simpang, at a suburb, so there wasnt a nearby shopping mall with Yami Yogurt (nearest is Suntec City) so we resorted to hunt for it at Shop n Save in front of the prata stall. But dont have, so we resorted to the normal yogurt instead. Lol. Rushed back to Tay's to catch Michael Phelps at 10am. We all slumped on the couch in front of the TV for a few hours watching swimming and beach volleyball and I found myself dozing off after that. HAHA so piggy aaaarghhhh. After that we had roast chicken, bacon and spicy fries for lunch YUMMERSSSS! Ohohoh not forgetting the dinner we had the night before- lamb stew (? I cant remember the proper name for it haha), mushroom-chicken stew (err same here (x ), and devil's eggs! Everything tasted so good *stomach nods in agreement* I am gonna miss eating at Charlene's when she returns to US and it would be different without her when the Tribe hangs out together ):

Sunday evening I had farewell dinner with my Shenton Way colleagues at Ochard's Sakura :D Buffet was yummy too! I attacked the seafood man. Salmon, oysters, mussels! I think half of my dinner was that and the other half was dessert. Lols. They got me a pressie, this red Guess wallet :D When Jimmy handed me the pressie, he was like, "Guess what is it!" and he emphasised on the word 'guess'. I took the hint, since for Maya's birthday we got her a pink Guess wallet and for Reg's farewell gift, a green Guess wallet. "Guess? Guess!" went my reply. Everyone laughed. I opened up the pressie and Maya was like, let's take a pic of the girls holding their Guess wallets in their favourite colours! I will get that photo from Maya since it's taken by her phone! I needed a new wallet man, so the pressie came at the right time. Lol. My birthday wallet from Dorothy Perkins was getting stained ): So sad, only lasted for 7plus months.

Sigh I will miss them so much ):

Oh yes, I'm gonna take up Japanese lessons at Katong CC come end September :D:D:D Hope it'd come in handy when I'm in the tourism and hosp line in future! And I'd be able to communicate with Vic and Sham too since they're taking Jap lessons as well :D It'd be our G Language ahaha xD And we discussed that we can also try speaking Jap in G xDxDxD Walaga talaga shilegi Zelegen delegez! (Sidenote: Reg and I spoke G in Hokkien and Teochew before, it's damn funny I swear) The course which I am taking is only Stage 1 and there are 2 other stages as well. Hope I'll last through all the stages (should be able to la haha)! It's only $80 for 12 lessons. They're held every Monday evening for an hour and a half per lesson. I AM SO EXCITED! :D As for Korean, I'll probably be going for self-teaching since I watch and listen to Korean shows and music more. Gonna head down to Katong CC to sign up later in the afternoon. Hope the rain stops by then! :/

----------------------------------

They say that music transcends all borders. I believe that because music is part of everybody's lives. We turn on the radio to chase away the dullness of silence or loneliness, be it at work or at home; music makes us move our feet; songs bring out that singing voice of ours; and some lyrics of songs act as a solace because sometimes they accurately reflect how we feel at that point in time. I second the notion because even though I dont know the Japanese/Korean/other nationalities' languages, I appreciate their music all the same (: So kudos to music and kudos to music bringing people of different nationalities and languages together (:

Haru Haru ~ (Day By Day in English)!

My blog song's been on constant replay whenever I listen to my mp3 (which happens to be my phone at the moment. LG has been neglected cos my phone has ample space for me to upload my favourite songs -.-") or when I open up my WinAmp. ♥ the piano in the background! And Big Bang's voices are lovely (: Here's a pic of them during their recent live performance.

I think I'm the first or second person to upload that song to Imeem, so we'll see if it gets a lot of plays :D

On Friday, celebrated Joel's birthday at Timbre. It was my first time there and it sure looks like a place to chill/hangout for people around my age. Food and drink prices werent exorbitant, so I'd definitely go down again (: The chicken wings were good! Tried the chocolate martini, but Reg and I still reckon that Indochine still serves the best chocolate martini we've ever tried before. Fangling, Reg and I left halfway to get Joel's pressie. We went on a search for a birthday cake for him cos we realise he didnt have any. So we walked from Timbre (near Fort Canning), past Chijmes to Ritz Carlton to see if they sold cakes (it was 10pm!). And PHEWY they do! They open 24hours by the way, so if you ever need a cake to snack on/ last minute birthday surprise, GO CHECK ANY HOTEL (:

On Saturday, met up with Anuaar, Reg, Warren and Darryl for lunch at PS then we proceeded to Minds Cafe to play xD We played Mad Gab and True Colours. Mad Gab's damn fun la. We laughed like MAD xD It's a game where you have a guess a phrase which is spelt out and positioned wrongly. Like say for example, Mary Had A Little Lamb. So the card in front of you would say something like Marriot A Lee Tell 'Em. HAHA. Geddit. So youve to guess what it ACTUALLY says. So the other party who knows the answer would most prolly be laughing at you as you pronounce Marriot A Lee Tell 'Em. Hahahahahaha. True Colours was quite funny too. It's a voting game actually. We have to select a colour (for example, I'm red and there's a yellow, green, blue and black player as well) and then take two of each player's coloured cards which will be your voting cards. You then have 3 other cards, 0, + and lastly one with - under the +. They are used for you to guess if you think you will have none (0), all (+) or some (+ and -) votes to the question being asked. Some questions included, Who will you bring along to a nudist colony?, Who will you put next to the President during a dinner? You can either vote twice for a player or vote for 2 players. Too bad we played it late. We only played like 5 rounds. Reg and I then rushed off for dinner at Jumbo Seafood with the Zen Tribe.

Dinner was AWESOME :D ♥ the chilli crabs at Jumbooooooooooo! The crabs were HUUUUUUUUUUUUGE, the claws were the biggest crab claws I've ever seen and you know the legs right, you dont usually eat that part cos only got a little bit of meat that it's almost negligible BUT NOT THEIR CRABS. Haha. THERE WAS LIKE 10X MORE MEAT IN THEIR CHILLI CRAB THAN A NORMAL CRAB. Yumyum. We also had cereal prawns (♥!) and other dishes. Reg and I arrived late cos we were caught in the rain -.-" We were drenched almost to the bone la, stupid rain! We had to change and luckily I was gonna stay over at Shamayne's place so brought PJ's and a set of clothes for the next day. Ended up lending poor Reg my next day's change of clothes while I changed into my PJ's (this oversized Carlsberg Germany shirt and Nike slip-on shorts). Luckily it's not those lapsap type HAHA. The PJ's mustve made me feel so at home because I ate crab like I was 2 years old propped on a baby chair- crab sauce splattered around my area and onto my shirt while I was struggling to remove the crab meat from the crab. Haha! Shamayne and Charlene both suggested bringing me to a crab dinner with an enemy if the need arises since I ate so messily. OK the point is to scare and disgust the enemy. Thanks ah guys :P I dont mind the free crab dinner tho :D :D :D Had a 10percent discount cos Mummy had a VIP card :D

Sleepover at Sham's was fun, we re-watched a couple of Super Junior's Exploration of the Human Body episodes cos we wanted to intro Reg to how funny the Suju members were and also the educational side of it haha. Reg had to leave at 12plus so it's Vic, Taytay, Sham and me left. We slept over and decided to wake up at 7am the next morning to cycle BUT WE WOKE UP AT 11 INSTEAD xD So much for cycling! Haha. Ordered in pizza, watched more vids and piggy us napped in the afternoon cos Sham's room and bed was so cold and snuggly! Ahahaha. Had a great weekend with my Zen Tribe (: Next weekend with them again, but at Taytay's house! Cant wait!

So sleepy today at work. I felt so zombie-fied until I left. Haha. I think cos I may have slept too much the day before (x Went to (FINALLY OMG) trim and shape my eyebrows at this beauty salon near Parkway after work. They were getting out of hand. Haha. Me and Maya, my colleague, always probe each every day, "Eh you went to pluck your eyebrows already or not?!" cos we always complain we do not have the time to take care of our grooming properly. Haha.

FRIDAY COME SOON! Hehe. I want to start vegetating!

A list of what I'm going to do before I start school on the 7th of Oct;
01. Watch MOVIES!
New ones and old ones! I bought the third instalment of the Death Note Trilogy. Havent watched the first 2 so gonna rent the earlier 2. And I have not watched Batman/ Money No Enough 2/ Mummy/ Journey to the Centre of the Earth yet!

02. READ!
I started on the Shopaholic series and I wanna continue! Krystal Ong I'm depending on you! xD

03. CATCH UP WITH LONGLOST FRIENDS
People like Krystal Ong, Deborah Ng and Mumtaz!!! I havent seen you girls in AGES! Miss you girls!

04. EXERCISE
My stamina's nowhere to be found and I dont really care what I put into my stomach nowadays. BAD BAD BAD since I dont exercise ): Finally I've time to maybe start jogging at East Coast. And bowl! I miss it so much.

05. START DRIVING LESSONS
It's been months since I passed my BTT and a lot of friends have already gotten their licence (such as one Victoria Lim) or gonna finish their lessons (Krystal and Mums!) so I'm pressured but at the same time determined to start mine after I officially resign.

07. I dunno what else haha. I'll definitely have more stuff to add to the list.

Cant wait to start school too, actually (:

2008-07-27T21:56:00.007+08:00

ReadySetGlo!

Too bad it wasnt that great ): The deejays, High Kicks, played electro music but sadly the best part was when they played Madonna's 'Hung Up' and it wasnt even electro. There was no song transition and even then, the next song would always have a different beat/rhythm. R&B is still the best! Haha.

But overall had fun with the bowlers. Anuaar and Warren brought light sticks and we hung them around our necks, wrists, belt loops (Anuaar), etc. The guys placed their light sticks which were around their necks in their tops so they looked like walking lanterns. Haha. One Zouk crew member copied them :P

And omg I saw Mr. Kim there!!! He's a sort-of regular in my bar and I have a mini crush on him hehe. I noticed him when I saw his side profile (it's unmistakeable cos he has rather dark features) and I kind of encircled around him and lo and behold twas HIM! I waved rather enthusiastically and went, "HIIIII!" when in front of him and he gave me this who-are-you face then I was like oh-shit then his facial expression showed that he sort of/kind of recognises me but couldnt put his finger on who the heck I am so I was super paiseh that time so I just smiled most-paisehly and practically ran off! So so paisehhhhhhh. Haha. I still feel paiseh now la, typing this. Haha. I mustve looked like a stalker!

PICS courtesy of Warren's camera!

L-R: Nicholas, Augustine, Yewliang, Darryl, Warren, Glenn, me and Anuaar. Reggie wasnt in the pic cos she was camerawoman.

Cam-whoring with our light sticks haha.

Regina looks like an alien. Haha.

I decided to join her HAHA.

Warren and I at the entrance. Got the MKOP photographer to help us take this pic hehe! His shadow's there :P

By the dancefloor! The beams were cool!

At Spize after Zouk.

More piccahs with Anuaar and the MKOP photog! 2 Chivas promoters were carrying around a Polaroid and took 2 pics of us. Anuaar brought it back to scan for us (:

Today! Went over to Taytay's house as usual. Watched XXY, this Argentinian film about a 15 year old girl/boy who was born with both girl and boy genes and his/her struggles. It's quite sad cos it's really difficult on him/her and his/her family. After that had dinner- Char's mum made us ribs yumyummm :D But after the movie and during dinner we had a long discussion (mostly for my dear son's information cos he was confused. Sex education in secondary school apparently werent informative enough for guys, we concluded, and thinking further, maybe for some girls too haha) or education on the position of certain parts of the body which was brought up after watching XXY. Go look the movie up if youre interested cos it really makes you think about the difficulties of people who are sexually-disoriented like Alex and Alvando (who's gay). We then headed to have ice-cream at The Ice Cream Gallery, shopped a bit at Cold Storage for Charlene before heading back to watch part of The Nanny Diaries cos we had to rush off to pick up Vic's mum.

Haha what a weekend. Next weekend's Singfest woot! Cant wait (:

2008-07-24T21:13:00.006+08:00

I finally caught RED CLIFF yesterday wheeee :D

Been waiting for my mum to watch it with me but she always postpones the date till we dont have one anymore and Reg wasnt keen ): So jumped at the chance when Glenn and Darryl wanted to watch it too (: I love war movies, especially those which took place in medieval times. HAHA. Love the costumes- gladiator-esque, long hair on the guys and elaborate dresses on the girls, etc. Give me Black Hawk Down, Lord of the Rings, Warlords, Narnia, I will love it. Haha.

Back to Red Cliff! Takeshi Kaneshiro!!! *fangirls* He's the top actor on my list now. His acting prowess is fantastic. He's the Chief Strategist for the wars in which the Sun Quan and Wu clans partook in against the Han clan and being a strategist he doesnt actually draw a sword and runs around slashing enemies but instead is the brains, yknow? Hence his character is one who is cool, calm, clever but a lil flamboyant (with the goose fan omg haha) but he's so charming all the same! :D Am still awed by his Mandarin, though the actors did do a voice-over after the filming (youll definitely notice it! Their mouths and words dont go in sync too much haha!). Loved him in Warlords most cos he did partake in the war and moved about, showcasing his fighting prowess. And also the last heart-wrenching part where he continued to walk towards the other brother? King? Cant remember ahhh! Yeah so anyways he was whipped/beaten at the leg and I think it broke but he continued on and somebody still went on to break his arms/legs and seeing him struggling is so sad. He acted so well in there. Alright I think I will go on and on and this will never end so I will stop here. Haha! So watch this space till he comes out with another movie! (Red Cliff Part 2's coming out Jan 2009! :D:D:D )

Met up with Oli, Kwann, Shamayne, Kengyin, Rhonda and Elizabeth at Oli's house on Tuesday cos Oli and Kwann are leaving soon to Aussie ): Though twas a short meeting, theyre all my primary school friends so twas a nice short catch up (: We ended up just watching Beach. Ball. Babes, the Chinese 9pm show, and played cards. Haha.

I cant wait to vegetate between 15th August and 7th October, when I officially resign from work and when I start school respectively. It will be such a luxury (: I havent been vegetating since last December, that's how long it has been. Haha. Am looking forward to watching shows on YouTube such as America's Next Top Model (I watched an entire season on YouTube after A's last year can you believe it!), movies on movie6, learning some Jap and Korean, (window!)shopping, spending the whole day on my bed reading (Krystal you have to lend me your Shopaholic series cos I'm getting hooked!), etc etc. Yeah, some vegetating activities. Haha. Maybe I shouldnt use the word vegetating anymore cos it sounds like an omen. Like a person in a coma. OK how about lazing around partaking in non-productive activities (:

AYE YAM GOING TO SINGFEST!

Jason Mraz (aye yam gna hear him for the second time!!! :D ), OneRepublic (stop and stareeeeeee!), PCD (doncha!!!), etc etc! Wheeeeeeeeee! But will be WORKING there la, not really jumping about. Cos Harry's is gna set up some bars there. Hope I'm bartending instead of waitressing.

Aye yam also so glad that I had a talk with one of my superiors at work yesterday. Everything is better now. I think I can probably last for another month. Let's hope sooooo.

Yesterday had a great Gyoza Party at Charlene's. HAHA. Charlene's grandma made for us like 100 gyozas!!! There were only Shamayne, Charlene and I so we tried our best, I think we ate like 60 (or more we didnt count?!). Haha they were really yummy! We ended the night by re-watching Super Junior Exploration of the Human Body on YouTube, the episode where they had to test their sense of balance after being spun around. IT'S SO HILARIOUS LA. They gotta try to walk down this platform to the end and stand up on one leg but all of them couldnt make it ahaha! Most of them ran sideways when they thought they were running forward. And that episode had Heechul looking way too cute dancing to 'Tell Me' by the Wonder Girls xD Then continued watching Human Tetris which is also absolutely cracktastic as well xD Left Char's place at11.45 and we cabbed home.

Please let this happy spell continue.

Been picking on my tattoo. The scabs la. So very tempting. Haha. Theyre all off already, but somehow somemore seemed to have formed after picking the old ones out. So it's still very ugly at the moment. Heal heal heal!

I cant wait to FO from that particular workplace. Really. Some of the people have really went out of line and I just cant tolerate it anymore. I feel cheated and abused. Cheated because I was looking forward to finishing up my last month there by going back into the bar but the heads decided to put me on the floor till I quit. They did not talk to me about it beforehand, I felt like a brick was dropped onto my head. I understand that they need to train this guy up to be a bartender but I was told he is much needed to be on the floor cos there are so many cock ups when he left the floor. Then now?!?! I feel like I've been sent to another outlet cos they need help on the floor. I'm officially a barmaid for heaven's sake. Abused because I cant stand a certain someone who likes to shove you aside (literally!) when you are somehow in her way. It gets irritating after much pushing and shoving, not forgiving.

They may be harsh words (cheated, abused) but I seriously feel this way.

I cant wait to FO!!!

Saying that, I will miss so many people whom I wont get to meet at transport anymore cos I wont be able to take transport anymore. I work morning shifts when I do floor. Argh.

I really need a change of environment.

INKED!

No longer a tattoo virgin! Got the character below tattooed in between my shoulder blades. It says 'Zen/Sen' in Korean and I went to look up the meaning of the word. It means 'line'. I did think that it was rather weird a meaning and considered choosing another character but I realised that the position of the word plus the meaning is actually rather apt- it also represents me turning my back on rigidities and conforming to customs/ traditions/ etc and wna be more flexible, try new things. Like me doing this tattoo. Many people have asked me to re-consider it cos I'm still young. I understand their concerns but I thought that I can definitely live with my name till I'm old and grey and wrinkly so I went ahead with it. Haha.

Alright so yesterday afternoon I headed down to Gary's tattoo studio-office behind Kovan MRT with Donna, Veronica, Deborah and Weiqin. It was a rather odd mix haha. Donna's my secondary school bowling junior, Veron's my colleague while Deb and Weiqin were my JC-mates. Donna and Veron were there cos they wanted to consult Gary about their future tats while Deb lives nearby and Weiqin was with her then. Was honoured to have them at my first tattoo experience. Haha. Much thanks to Donna and Deb cos they were my photogs for the day to document the process. Haha.

Gary putting the stencil on.

Up and on! Hahaha.

The tools which the needles are supposed to be in.

This is when we started. I requested for something soft to hug cos the chair was plastic and it didnt feel comfortable. Haha. Deb piped in, "Yeah dont you have a stuffed toy?" Gary was like, "No..." but he spotted a dusty giraffe in front of us and I grabbed it in an instant. Haha. Cos I wanted to squeeze something if the pain gets unbearable.

First stroke of forever-will-be-there ink! It wasnt was painful as I thought/ expected it to be actually. So when everyone asked, "Eh! Pain or not?!" I was like, "Not really" Veronica couldnt believe it cos she said the tattoo tools look much more intimidating than the tools used when she gave birth. Haha. Really, it was tolerable pain and I think using a penknife to cut the skin will be more painful.

Continuing with the outline.

After awhile, the outline is done! On to the colouring.

Half done. The rate of pain of the shading process wasnt as high as the outline cos the needle's not sharp and slim.

Almost done!

Gary's back was aching after a while so he stood up. Mine too, plus the neck but had to endure for a little while more.

DONE! :D

Perfect huh. We were blown away.

A final photo!

Am really pleased with the result (: Anybody thinking of getting a tat? Haha. I think Gary's a really talented artist. He's a self-taught tattoo artist. He designed the character's font for me including many other fonts such as those below.

So.. Just lemme know if youre interested!

Introducing the very sexy Nokia 6510 Music Xpress in RED :D

It's mineeeee hehehehehehe :D In black and RED, my favourite colours woot! My didi has the same phone but in blue. Finally can make video calls! Ahaha I'm rather slow on the 3G technology cos I had to wait ever so patiently to upgrade after I lost my Motorola phone which was 3G-enabled last June ): 'Tis worth the wait. I can depend on it for music (I've got 1Gb of memory :D) and taking photos (3.2 megapixel!) HAPPY HAPPY :DDD

Gonna get my first tattoo most probably next Saturday. Yep, I'm getting one :D Will post up pics after I get it done. Super excited for it. I've been given the choice to put anaesthesia or not, but I want to experience the authenticity of getting a tattoo done without it. Been advised by my mum (who has 3 tats to date) to get it done with the anaesthesia cos she says I've been afraid of pain since young and she doesnt think I can handle it (which is rather accurate la) but I mean I dunno the extent of the pain yet. Haha wa so daring ah. Guess I'll discuss that with Gary my tattooist when we're set to tattoo.

CHARLENE TAY IS BACK FROM THE US! YAYYYY :D Miss her to bits la. Gonna have an outing with her and Zen Tribe this coming Sat. I miss our sleepovers, breakfasts and BBQs!!!

On the flipside, I really hope the appeal results for NUS AND NTU COME QUICKLY. Put my heart to rest! Still unsure of what my future plan is. Argh. Every next alternative plan has big obstacles along the way.

I hope my confused thoughts will be untangled somehow soon.

2008-06-15T02:11:00.002+08:00

I love Scruffy Murphy's!

This post is one week overdue but I saw Donna's picture on Friendster and she reminded me of Scruffy Murphy's. Haha.

I met her there last Sunday there at about 5pm. The ambience was really nice. I felt like I was in old-time London or something. The furniture were wooden and so were the walls inside by the bar area. There was a slight breeze the whole time so you dont feel that warm. Scruffy Murphy's at East Coast Beach btw (: I ordered a pint of Strongbow with grenadine syrup (much cheaper than Harry's at only $11.80) and a lamb stew ($8.90 I think). It was yummmmmmmers! Had a warm apple crumble for dessert which I shared with Donna and it was really good too. I want to go back there again (:

Donna let's go back there soon to chill out/hang out! :D And whoever else who wants to go there with me too!

2008-06-14T14:34:00.002+08:00

I love lazy days like these. Just sitting in front of the lappy and watching the current Korean bands on YouTube in variety shows (SS501 and SHINee at the moment; the former is SUPER HILARIOUS while the latter is SUPER TALENTED who makes me impressed all the time :D ). Haha guess it's like anybody here watching Show Luo on Channel U/cable? Haha. How I wish Singapore is like (South) Korea. Their entertainment biz is booming because of powerful entertainment groups like SM (Super Junior, SHINee, DBSK, BoA), DSP (SS501, A'ST1), JYP (forgot which artistes/groups are in it.. I think Rain's one of them?), etc who trains them. I know Singapore has Ocean Butterflies but.. Somehow I guess it's not enough? OK one more thing is the market there is huge. Koreans support their homegrown bands VERY MUCH (including here in Singapore haha). Vic says that Jaejoong from DBSK was not born with the talent of singing and he trained up in SM to be where he is today. If I could I'd wanna be like him. Haha! I wanna travel! They went everywhere! Paris and Czech Republic just for PHOTOBOOKS, Japan where they broke into the music scene and travelled elsewhere around Asia to do promotions! So good la. Hahaha.

I realised the SHINee vid I posted for my previous post didnt come up. WHY WHY. I linked this blog to my YouTube account so I'm able to post vids but somehow it's not working. I wanted to find the embed but cant seem to. Can anybody helppppp?

Well, life's been pretty mundane with the usual work routine. I look forward to Fridays though more work's to be done and it's our busiest day (which is also fun). With another bartender like Ah Bang Superman it's more enjoyable. And also Sundays cos I can really just relax with some of the Zen Tribe members (:

Deborah Ng and Charlene Tay hurry come back! I miss you two already!

Oh yes I visited the MPCC library last week and borrowed 4 books (you can borrow 8 in June but after a 2 year hiatus from storybooks I dont think I'll be competent enough to finish reading 4 in 3 weeks) to read. I love reading but it's so difficult to actually find time to have a me-time for a couple of hours (also due to the fact that my reading speed has decreased -.-"). Haha. I've already finished 1 and a half. Hopefully can finish the rest (x

2008-06-12T14:43:00.003+08:00

Been watching a lot of SHINee performances on YouTube and I'm impressed every single time by this talented lot. They are so young yet are so talented! Their age range is only between 14-19 years and I think in all their performances (of Noona You Are So Pretty) THEY ARE ALL SUNG LIVE. Imagine that with super fast dance moves. Just watch the above video.

I love them all, but my fav is Leader ONEW! :D I think all their vocals are really really good, but I like his best cos it's very smooth (: Mwora haedo naehghen salmi everything ~ Sighs! Haha. Love his hat which he wears during Noona performances (notice that in the very first part of Noona performances he will be the only member holding his hat while doing some leg steps. Even when he doesnt have a hat on he will still hold his head, like in the Dream Concert rehearsal (x ) and his hoodie (pic below!). Love his style best (:

Love MINHO too (4th from left of pic), he definitely has that charisma! So mysterious like that, he doesnt have a big singing part in Noona so dont really hear him much but I read that he usually takes on the lower tones. I heard him on Sukira and HE DOES SOUND VERY SEXY. Ahaha. He's also the tallest of the group!

JONGHYUN and KEY's voices are DA BOMB (2nd and 5th from pic respectively). Omg they are immensely filled with vocal ability. I can recognise JONGHYUN's voice anywhere now cos I think we're exposed to his voice the most (x

Baby TAEMIN (cute middle one of pic haha!)! The youngest of the group is A DANCING MACHINE (like Eunhyuk!). You'll notice that in the Noona performances where he has a solo dance in the middle of the song. And he just pops out from the rest of the group cos he's slightly shorter than the rest but his dance delivery is more exaggerated, you'll see. Haha. (He should style his hair up all the time like in the picture! His hair currently is bowl-cut, as you can see from the video -.-")

----------------------------------------------------

Rah it's so hot outside I feel so lethargic and lazy to head out (to go to work) ): How I wish it's raining. I would love to wear a big thick jacket to warm myself instead. Doesnt it sound cosy? Like when it's raining heavily outside and youre in a cold bus and youre all warm in a big thick jacket.. (: Onew lend me your hoodie! :D

OK I shall just dream of rain. I'm off to nap!

2008-05-28T21:31:00.004+08:00

A Triple Whammy.

Still, it's not the end of the road. I'm appealing again for all and looking for alternatives. Somehow I'm sure everything will work out fine. I'm pretty adamant on what I want to do and I'll try my best to work towards it.

But I guess sometimes the Pessimistic Zen will resurface and fuck myself upside down about this. I guess I would say I kind of regret not putting more effort previously, but I'm not sore to the core about it cos my time was focussed on what I felt passionate about at that time and I tried my best. And I made really really good friends in the past 2 years while I was there, I definitely do not regret that (:

Gonna be a bit Korean cute-sy here, but.. Zen fighting!

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Took MC today cos I have a mysterious stomachache- it felt rather painful and bloated. (Sounds like it may burst like a balloon any moment hor? Haha) Went to the toilet thrice. Maybe it's stomach flu or a slight case of food poisoning (got a bit of gagging feeling at the throat) or cos Big Aunt's coming I'm not too sure. Maybe it's the last one cos my whole body's aching as well :S Ka-seng, chiu-seng.. (Jiao suan-suan de, shou ye suan-suan de.. I dunno how to translate in English properly lol. Leg and arms feel overworked?) So just told the doc I have diarrhea and rested at home today. The doc wanted to check if I was pregnant. I was like, HAR? Oh it's OK. He was like, Oh we ask all our patients who have diarrhea to check if theyre pregnant. I was like, Oh OK haha it's OK I dont think I need to. (x Oh wells he was just helping right? Haha.

Sundays are really enjoyable with the Zen/Choi Tribe :D Last Sunday Vic treated us to Shokudo at Cine :D It's like Pasta de Waraku. Vic intro-ed to the family her new stuffed toy love, Ken. It's a damn small, cute green big headed.. vegetable. Haha. Lemme kope a pic from YiuYiu's blog.

That Vic can be a puppeteer la. I crack up whenever she bounces Ken up and down and go, "Oma! Oma! (Mum! Mum!)" and "Hyung! Hyung! (Brother! Brother!)" in that cute voice she uses when she puppets her Daney and Ken. You gotta hear it to believe it. Haha. Went to Shamayne's house after dinner and slept over. Haha. Paiseh cos she had to go to school the next morning :X Next Sun we're gonna custom make chain earrings and watch Prince Caspian woohoo! Cant wait :D

The urge of getting a tattoo of my name at my back/neck in another language is increasing. Haha. Still deciding what language to use. Pai kia or what! Haha. And maybe get like 5 more piercings (including the tragus and eyebrow..) and dye my hair pink.. OK the last sentence was rubbish!

Haha I'm addicted to SS501's A Song Calling For You (Remix). The dance steps are damn cute. Haha! Talking about dance I hope I can secure 2 spots for Sham and me in Choon Hui's class on Sun. I booked on Friday evening (we can only book 2 days in advance and on Friday morning we can book already) AND THERE WASNT ANYMORE SPACE ): ): ): ): ): Shall book on Friday morning!

2008-05-21T22:09:00.003+08:00

Had a fun Sunday afternoon (as usual (: ) with my Zen/Choi Tribe at Changi Airport's T3 (: Had Popeye's for lunch and Swensen's for dessert yummmms. It was my first time there and I was IMPRESSED yet nostalgic. Impressed cos like Vic said, it looks like a shopping mall and the design is super futuristic- lots of steel and high ceilings. I was super awed by a restaurant which is at the top level of T3 which runs around a big fat pillar AND it's open-air, not covered. SOUNDS COOL RIGHT! It was. Hahaha. Walked past Harry's, which looked pretty small though. We look lotsa pics but they're in Sham's pinkish-purplish Lumix camera (hehe! OK it's her Mum's), hopefully will get them from her soon! Oh yes nostalgic because I MISS TAKING AN AIRPLANE TO GO OVERSEAS ): Shamayne felt the same way, she said she missed Japan for 3 months already. For me it's ever since Bangkok! The feeling of being in another country is soooo different and lovely. I feel like I'm entering a whole new world, creating new memories and experiencing exciting new things. At the same time, I feel so independent and free like I have no problems on my shoulders. (And secretly I hope to bump into some famous Asian stars ahaha!) Sigh, I wanna experience it all again. The Tribe is thinking of heading to Japan next year! :D :D :D Am so eggcited right NOW. I really hope it comes into reality. The saving money part wont be a problem I guess, since I'm working now but it's more of the time. I'm not sure what my next few months will be like much less next year. Sighs.

I've been rejected by SMU and NTU ): SMU last week and NTU just today. My heart sank even deeper after receiving that letter today. I dont know what I'd do if an NUS letter comes along next and drop my heart into the core of the earth (OK it's not THAT bad la I guess but yeah you do feel disappointed till that extent sometimes). Cos it's too expensive to take a private degree and/or going overseas (which I dont think I'd be considering at all). I have some options right now;

1) Apply to SIA, earn some money for two years and come back to take a Tourism and Hospitality degree in MDIS or

2) Keep researching for cheaper alternatives to get a degree in T&H (which I think is highly unlikely..) or.. I dont know.

Argh. Mum encouraged me to just start working already and stop studying cos my chances of getting into a local U is slim. I was a little shocked at that but considering both my mum and my dad's family backgrounds none of their own family members went to Uni, except for my one cousin who went to an Australian Uni and spent quite a lot there.

I really wanna keep my head up but somehow I'm losing that positivity.. Argh.

Maybe I'm not Uni material. Haha. I dont know.

OK let's not dwell in this depressing talk anymore. Maybe this is fate, I'm meant for something else. Haha.

Talking about travelling previously, I had a chat with a customer last week about life. (How general and boring it sounds right? Haha I hate talking about life issues sometimes because it's so.. general. Like, you gotta make compromises, you'll have more responsibilities as you grow older, yada yada.. That it gets quite monotonic and drony sometimes cos it's such a subjective topic.) I suddenly had an eureka moment. Like, I realised what I wanted to do in my life cos of what I've been doing and what the customer had been experiencing. He works in the cable industry and travels rather often, months at a time, to many different countries and enjoys his work because he gets to meet new people (from different countries) and experience different world cultures and it's a very interesting job and he enjoys it a lot. Then I said, You know what? That's what I want to do in my life next time too. I wanna travel. We're born in this world not to stay in just one place in our whole life. I hope to do that gradually as I grow older, I hope. I'm hoping cos I'm slowly inching further and further away from Singapore.. Thailand was my furthest. Hopefully Japan would be next (:

..And that would be one of my dreams.

Among being able to drive, get a car, start a clothing biz with the Thursday Club which we hope will be even more successful we progress, pursue a degree in T&H..

Hopefully these will be realised. Watch this space (:

2008-05-18T01:43:00.006+08:00

Here's my new blogskin made by my very dear dottie Shamayne otherwise known as Ritsu! You deserve to be creditted! She's damn good at making these kinda things, including icons and logos so if anyone needs a designer I've got a good one to recommend! Thank you very much dearie I love it though Siwon's eyes have been cut (x It makes him look very model-like and sexaye eh!

Today was a super hot day. A place-an-ice-cream-on-the-floor-will-sure-melt-in-a-second kind of HOT :/ So I decided to cab down to Eunos MRT to meet Mumtaz to go to HarbourFront -.-" Couldnt tahan the heat! We then headed down to Vivo to meet Deb and bought Michelle's birthday pressies, then headed to Krystal's mum's shop to pick up the tees and dresses we plan to bring to Mich's party to sell. We then headed down to Mich's house in Bishan in a cab (this time is not cos of the heat but the consideration of paying for the same amount if we took bus-then-train-then-bus adult fares times three and that it would be less of a hassle plus more comfort if we were to take a cab (: ). And guess what, Siying bought 2 tees from us! :D Thanks for supporting our biz, girlie! We still have yet to come up with a name for our shop/biz though. Haha.

Oh yes I PASSED MY BTT ON THURS! *grins till all teeth can be seen* Happy happy! Super relieved as well (: Finally with 2 e-trial tests -.-" I would definitely advise anyone who wishes to pass his/her BTT on the first time to take at least one e-trial test (which consists of 2 BTT trial test papers you can take) before going for the real thing cos the questions which come out will be repeated. But Deborah passed even when she did not take any e-trial test prior to her BTT (twas during my first BTT attempt). So good and clever right! Haha. Me, Mumtaz and Krystal took the test on the same day same time also fail. So in conclusion I would say you'd get a 25% chance of passing your BTT without attempting any e-trial test.

Off to bed now! Hope there's 2 spots in hip hop class tmr! *prays*

2008-05-14T02:51:00.007+08:00

I thought I'd like to squeeze in some updates before I embark on another whirlwind of busy activities that does not permit me to blog.

Right where shall I start. Work today was definitely much more tolerable than Monday cos I was actually moving about more in the bar and making lotsa cocktails as compared to Monday. It was deadtown on Monday ): I dont think I used the dishwasher at all. Everytime a glass came in I just wash it by hand and stacked them back to where they belong. Even small spills on surfaces were wiped immediately when seen. It's that boring. Thank God for the group of three who sat at the bar counter today, they were great customers (: They ordered like 6 Kamikazes, 2 Long Islands and 4 Long Island Beach Teas among other simple spirit-based drinks. And together with random cocktail orders from the floor I can say that I am satisfied by the orders of the day. Haha. It's boring just pumping beers. And wiping stupid small minute spills which you dont normally care about.

Met up with Jade, Krystal, Deb and Kenneth for lunch today at East Coast Road's Xing Wang Hong Kong Cafe :D Havent seen Jade for ages! ~~(Alamak I really wanna post up the pics we took after leaving the place but I'm in the dark in my bro's room and it's 3am . Lazyyy. I'll post it up soon!)~~ Here they are! I stole em from Jade's blog heh so credits and thanks to Jadey dear! (:

Twas my first time using my POSB card to sign under MasterCard hoho! Been helping my own customers swipe their bills but never mine. So twas a cool virgin experience I got to just sign my name and settle the bill for us HA (no la I didnt treat tho lol). We got a free mango pudding cos of MasterCard. Yum! Left with Jade in bus 10 after lunch to Harry's and caught up a bit (: Have fun in England my dear!

Oh yes the clothing biz which Krystal, Deb, Mum and I set up are doing pretty well (: We've got a definite clientele in Krystal's mum's own clients in her beauty salon haha :D Mostly were tai-tais. We plan to use our profits to pay for our plane tickets and buy more clothes to sell :D Oh how I love travelling now. After Bintan and Bangkok.. AH! Miss the plane ride, the thrill and excitement when going into the plane and landing in a whole new country, pretending to be popstars when arriving at the immigration, shopping, eating authentic cuisines, etc.. Ahhhhh. Cant wait to jetset off somewhere again.

Just booked for 2 E-trial tests today at CDC with Deb before my second BTT attempt this Thursday. Hope they help and that I pass! *PRAYS*

Sunday was dance, lunch, shopping and dinner with Shamayne and Victoria :D They are damn funny creatures. HAHA. Love them. I was commenting that in Super Junior's Miracle, there's a line that goes, "life couldnt get better" and what if we pronounced it in a Singaporean slang? I tried and it turned out as a mat slang. Hahaha! "Life COOD-dent get BEAR-ter!" xD When we stepped into 77th Street in Parkway we were trying on trucker hats. I sang that line with the trucker hat loose on my head which sent us all into fits of laughter. Hahaha! Ohoh! We were planning to make a "I LOVE ZEN TRIBE" and a "I LOVE SAPPHIRE BLUE" for our Tribe and for us SuJu fans in the Tribe before we go to their concert :D Exciting exciting!

Ohohoh. I'm now addicted to this Taiwanese drama, HANA KIMI :D

Rui Xi and Yi Quan! (:

Omg Ella (from S.H.E.) is really cute inside. Love her character's bubbly personality which I thought she portrayed really well AND not forgetting Wu Chun (from Taiwanese boyband Fahrenheit) or QUAN (his character's name). He's just so wow. I cant blame Ella's character from falling for him. He's got this strong, silent and protective personality and he's just so gorgeous la. *melts into a puddle* Haha! MORE PICS HERE.

Fahrenheit! Jiro's also in the show (bottom left of pic. Wu Zun's at the bottom right). Their smiles are super cute with their super jolly faces xD

I think the pic below makes them look like they're from an anime or sth. Haha. Look at their eyes.

Jiro's character is damn funny. Love his hair-the kind of hair which I think every guy should consider sporting. HAHA.

OK I shall stop fangirling already. Till the next post!

(I'm anticipating A'ST1's debut album to be great :D Love the few songs I've heard from them so far, especially 1, 2, 3, 4 Back and You :D You is so smooth with soul and R&B and their English pronounciations are superb, am proud of them (since they're Koreans)!)

2008-05-10T04:18:00.003+08:00

BACK FROM THAILAND! (:

Bangkok was great. Shopping was (: Spent about $400plus on shopping, transport and food during the 4 days. Heh. Sway thing was I had to fall sick during the trip. Had a bit of flu during the first 2 days but managed to buy medicine from a pharmacy at Siam Paragon. I loved Chatuchak (the weekend market) as well as Platinum mall! They are my fav shopping places cos you can bargain (: Did lots of that and Krystal is bargain queen man; "No larh, 100baht la, we friend-friend! You happy, I happy!" Haha. I stole her lines and they do work. LOL. Will blog more about the trip with piccahs once I get them from Deb, Krys, Mich and Clar!

The hotel was great too. We stayed at Baiyoke Suite Hotel and booked a Deluxe room where we had a hall and a room for beds. It's the second tallest hotel in Bangkok next to Baiyoke Sky.

One thing which fascinated me was the fact that Thailand really love the Korean scene. I heard at least one Super Junior song playing somewhere every day. Haha. And I found the perfume/deodarant/etc brand which Siwon is endorsing! Haha. Bought a few bottles of the perfume back. They smell nice leh! Haha. And and and. Wonder Girls as well as SS501 are going to Bangkok in May. So fans, you can Jetstar/Tiger down to Bangkok to catch em if youre interested, cos airfare is rather cheap for these 2 airlines (: Minus the crampy seats.

OK I'mma turn in first. It's 4.30am in the morning and I feel sleepy alr. See you!

2008-04-27T23:50:00.006+08:00

I MET AN EUNHYUK-LOOKALIKE TODAY!

Met Eunhyuk-lookalike, or Kenny, at today's dance class who happens to be Shamayne's junior at Temasek Poly. Too bad she didnt take a pic of him. Lol. He really looks like Eunhyuk from Super Junior. Here's how Eunhyuk looks like -

Even their size is the same- SKINNY and RATHER SMALL-SIZED! Haha I want to find a Siwon-/Jaejoong-lookalike too. Fangirl-ing Jae from DBSK now. HAHA. Love his mysterious, dark but yet cute look as well as his adventurous hairstyle. Love my men who carry off the Korean/Japanese hairstyles which are a bit longer than the usual Singaporean guy hairstyle and dyed (x I'm such a Korean fangirl la. Haha.

Had a great hiphop lesson today with our instructor Choon Hui :D We danced to Help Me by Chris Brown. Managed to catch the choreography today woooooots! Used to struggle a bit but NOT TODAY yay :D

After which Sham and I called up Char Yiu and Vic to lunch with us at Parkway but too bad Char couldnt join us ): Ate Sakae and went to Sham's house to hang and got introduced to A'ST1, who just debuted with their new single, 1, 2, 3, 4 Back! Love the song, it sounds very NSYNC-inspired with a bit of Justin Timberlake's Lovestoned feel and a touch of nice piano playing in the background at some parts. Have a listen! Gonna download their songs and the old DBSK albums. I know, I'm slow but I guess it's never too late (x

Gonna meetup with my Bangkok gang (Krystal, Deborah, Michelle and Clarissa) tmr after work for dinner to discuss our Bangkok itinery since we're gna FREE & EASY (: We're gna fly this coming Saturday morning, so if anyone wants anything from there, lemme know I can try to help you get (: CANT WAIT TO GO!!! I havent been on a plane for.. 15 years? HAHA. And I'm not that old. So it'd definitely be a cool experience for me (:

Sighs if only we went Thailand earlier. Siwon and Donghae were in Thailand to film their CF for this deodarant/shampoo/powder/not too sure what brand a few days ago!!! Damn. Haha.

I hope the coming week will be a good one.

Visited the juniors and their juniors over at OCC yesterday to support them at their A Div. Many of them have improved from last year and as (ex)Captain I feel proud of them (: JIAYOU OK SAINTS! I'm sure you guys will bring back the medals for SA.

Twas super nostalgic being at the competition atmosphere. I MISS BOWLING COMPETITIVELY. REALLY REALLY DO ): Reg and I were discussing lane conditions and ball talk and stuff like that even when we're not bowling regularly now (OK understatement for me, I havent bowled for.. God knows when) and the bowling mind was still there. I miss being at the top of my game, when your ball roll, speed and accuracy are fucking there (not the best or what but you just feel.. right). I'll only get to continue bowling if a Uni accepts me in cos I'm not in any club or what. But if I do, I'll definitely find my optimum bowling self again. I really have to thank Uncle Adam and SA for allowing me to find my optimum bowling self last year. Would be even better if Reg and I were to head to the same Uni and be doubles partners again (: We supported each other I think for like 4 out of the 6 years we were in bowling (except for Sec 1 and 2 when we were not close yet) and I cant imagine bowling in a team without her.

Was almost like A Div 2007 yesterday behind the lanes. Fucked up supporters I tell you. Only know how to kachiao. What the hell did we do to make you wna provoke us? Seriously. Until now no sportsmanship and maturity is it. I'd hate to imagine how the school supporters are like if the bowlers themselves (most anyway) are already like that. But as a bowler I'd have to thank them for being like that cos the drive came from this shit I received last year. I vowed to beat them and I did.

Suppered with Veron, Dan and Kevin yesterday at Geylang. FROG LEG PORRIDGE at Lorong 19. Shiok sia, if you havent tried, ask me out I bring you. Haha. We talked and talked til 6am even when the frog place was closed. Lol. Love these kinda bonding sessions!

OK gtg get ready for work! Gonna be a BEEEEEZEEEEE day today. Ciaossss.

2008-04-21T12:09:00.002+08:00

I cant believe I've got recurring dreams of me doing cocktails and trying to memorise them. Haha gosh! And it's an almost every night thing la. Haha. Must be that international cocktail test which my Bar Sup hasnt sprung on me yet that's why I worry even in my dreams :/

I miss having sweet dreams. HAHA.

2008-04-20T21:14:00.005+08:00

Hello my babies. I finally found time to blog! Haha lemme do some updates.

This is for my dear Charlene Tay who requested for pics of my piercings. The first pic is my left ear (3, the black one at the tragus is not a piercing but a mole (x ) and the second is my right (4).

I got so tempted to poke-poke another hole when the (not complete) Tribe followed Yiu Yiu to pierce her second ear hole haha! I think it's the affordability of piercing which did not make me think twice about poking another hole in my ear. Haha. I only had 2 holes (the very first ones at the lobes of the ears) after I finished A's. 5 months later there's 7. Haha. I'm considering piercing somewhere adventurous. At the ears I mean! Like maybe the tragus. I dunno. Haha. I wanted to pierce my eyebrow but in the end I didnt!

And here's a few pics of my bar. Technically not mine but you know what it means la. Haha. COME VISIT WHEN YOURE FREE! (:

Helped out at Chijmes on Saturday night again cos they had an SMU function. Met and talked to some SMU people there like Sue, Coreen and Eugene. Haha they are all really nice people. Sue was half drunk I think, but she was damn cute, she helped me push the Heineken beer pumping machine all the way to the back of Harry's while Coreen accompanied us and we three chatted and laughed and exchanged numbers (: Told em to come visit me at Shenton Way. Lols.

Slept in today cos I only reached home at 11am. Went for overnight CounterStrike/Battlefield with TEAM SHENTON WAY (our Harry's Bar Shenton Way colleagues) for our weekly Saturday Cohesion Outings. The brainchild of our Assistant Manager who is 13 years older than me. Haha. We played from about 4am to 10.30am. Our AM was saying that it was almost like one full shift. HAHA. Song boh! If we were to come to work, play CS then go home. Haha (x Woke up at 6.30pm and went to Punggol Nasi Lemak to have dinner with Mum and bought DONUTS. My AM will be damn happy. When I worked morning shift I keep bringing donuts for breakfast for me, him and Maya then when I didnt bring he was like, I'm hungry let's go buy lunch! Because I thought I was having donuts for breakfast la. HAHA. I dont own a donut factory Jimmy!

On Wed, Maya, Regina, Sher Wei and I went for Ladies' Night at Azzucar, MOS and Arena. Azzucar was rather fun (: It's a Salsa/Samba/Latin club. Sher Wei taught us some Salsa moves while Maya spontaneously danced to the music. She's a natural! *envy envy* Haha. Twas free flow before.. 12pm? Yeah. Vil is working there! He was an ex-bartender at The Pier's Harry's. So coincidentally when I worked at The Pier for a week it was his last week there as well. So we received excellent service at Azzucar. BUT sadly Arena was disappointing ): Twas Sher Wei and Maya's first time there but it had to be a crappy night for them. It's my, I dunno, 5th time? But I didnt enjoy myself there as well cos of A BARTENDER. Omg. How one person can ruin your night and impression of the place man. Firstly, he underpoured our Vodka Orange and secondly, he had a really bad attitude. Fuck man. He gave us an impression that he looked down on the ladies who walked into the club for free drinks. He gave A DASH of Vodka only and filled up the cup with orange juice. Normally with the speedpourer you'd have to let the spirit flow for 5 seconds (onethousandtwothousandthreethousandfourthousandfivethousand) to get a full shot, or 30ml worth. But after Maya complained to the Bar Sup, Bouncer and Entertainment Director about it, we came to know that they were instructed to only give half a shot. Fine. But A DASH is like 5ml? Maya wanted to PAY for our Vodka Oranges and Lychee Martinis so that we'd get the real deal. But I was like, aiya forget it la. Let's go someplace else. And when I asked the bartender what's in their Lychee Martini (I know the concoction, but I was just wondering if they only put Vodka in it or anything else other than the normal concoction) he looked at me and replied, no you can only get the Lychee Martinis at 10pm. I replied, no sorry you got me wrong I was just wondering what's in your Lychee Martini. He gave me that why-do-you-need-to-know, i-dont-even-think-you'd-know-half-of-what-i'll-be-saying look and answered, vodkabiancolycheeliquerandlycheesyrup real quickly and turned away when halfway through his answer. Hello how rude la. Whatever it is I dont think I'll be going back there anytime soon la. He's a new bartender if I'm not wrong. Where are the old ones!

Anyhows, Krystal and Deb and Mat! Ladies' Night music at MOS' Smoove has improved (: Haha. Reg and I checked it out on Wed.

2008-04-09T13:31:00.003+08:00

OK just a pre-warning, this is a Super Junior post cos I'm jumping out of my seat already.

SUPER JUNIOR M'S CHINESE SINGLE 'U' IS HOT HOT HOT!

Hahaha. Omg I melted a million times. OK i gotta review that video I just saw.

Chinese Accents
Arent too bad, given that Donghae (Dong Hai), Siwon (Shi Yuan), Kyuhyun (?) and Ryeowoook (?) are Korean pai. Haha. Zhoumi and Hankyung (Han Geng) are already Chinese.

Zhoumi
OK ZHOUMI. HE LOOKS LIKE SIWON. Why why why. Haha. But his singing is PHWOAR. I now understand why he's being put into the sub-group.

Kyuhyun
OMG HIS SINGING IS AS WONDERFUL AND POWERFUL AS EVER. Love love love his singing voice, whatever he sings. I think he can sing a newspaper article I dont care I'll still be enticed and charmed. Hahaha. And he's so cute larh, in the video. Sigh! (:

Siwon
Haha what can I say he's hot anywhere. Hahahahahaha. Er-hem.

Ryeowook
Same as Kyu. Somehow he looks more Chinese than Korean now. Must be his hair. Haha.

Donghae
He's still as cute as ever. Haha. And his dance moves were KILLER :D

Hankyung
Haha the charming boy! Like Heechul says, he oozes charm in videos and this is no exception.

Henry
Still the violinist and finally we hear him SING. Haha. He aint bad at all either! Need to hear more of him.

Sigh I hope these sub-groups, no matter how exciting they are, will not split the authentic, original Korean Super Junior up. Not being the Only-13 protester here, but I really do hope Super Junior stays TOGETHER.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Haha OK. What have I been up to. Haha what the hell I just typed SCHOOL. Something's wrong with me. HAHA omg *slaps self* Maybe this is a good sign. Like I may get into Uni. Haha OK WORK! Yes. Yesterday night the ex-SJI cum ex-SA/ex-AC bowlers came to drink at Harry's. Haha so cute la they all. I can sense that friendship they all had since sec school and same for me I have the Zen/Choi Tribe. They drank two of my own concoctions Mint Bomb and Sweet Nothings (OK I'm not too good at inventing names. Haha. Both were very anyhow chapalang just throw one name just to name the drink kind of thing so yeah I gotta think of better ones!). First is a Starbucks/Coffee Bean inspired alcoholic (OK both were alcoholic of course) drink which has Kahlua, Peppermint and Milk in it and the second one has Malibu, Peach Schnapps and Cranberry juice in it but in a Martini glass. Sexaye. Haha. Come Harry's at Shenton Way I make for you. Bartender's special, not in the menu one. Ahaha.

I think Vodka cannot have a threesome/foursome/fivesome etc with other alcohol. Hahaha. If you get what I mean. It's nice alone with one or maybe two mixers. Like cranberry juice. I love that. Vodka kills the taste of the other alcohol like the time the bowlers and I went to Bintan and we drank this drink which had Midori, Frangelico and other juices in it but got Vodka :S It tasted like antiseptic in the end. Haha. So yeah if you have some alcohol at home and if you intend to experiment around dont try Vodka and other alcohol. I have not experimented around with Vodka much yet but so far this is what I feel la.

OK gtg! Will try to blog more often. Byeeeeeez.

2008-04-01T00:53:00.003+08:00

Hello random people who visit my blog. I havent been updating because March has been a hell of a march through a month for me especially with the University applications. I feel like I went through an emotional rollercoaster ride which (obviously ): ) lacked the joy/fun factor. All I did was worry, tried to make myself feel better by not thinking about it and in the end dragging the applications, yada yada..

BUT NOW I'M ALMOST DONE! 98 PERCENT! WAHAHA. BYEBYE WORRY WORT ZEN!

98% because I'm left with submitting some documents and certificates to NUS for consideration for Discretionary Entry as well as submitting a photo of myself (which is needed, not that I purposely want to send in one) for the Singapore Tourism Board Scholarship. Just that there server is down at the moment I think? I will try again.

I will then wait for them to ring me up (: If they do la. *Hopes hard*

OK ENOUGH WITH UNIVERSITIES FOR NOW. Cant wait for our Thailand trip in May (Krystal, Deborah, Michelle and Clarissa are coming along too!)! Gonna shop till my wallet has a hole. Haha. We're gonna stay in a suite in Grand Diamond Hotel! Cool sia. Suite leh. Hahaha. And it's really cheap after we split among us all.

Today went out with Warren and Darryl after work. Luckily they came back in one piece from New Zealand cos they went there for nearly a month doing extreme sports (trekking on mountains and the wilderness, white water sledging, skydiving, bungee jumping, surfing, etc etc) and yeah I kinda miss them. Haha. Used to see them every day in school, at trainings, tuitions or the random outings but it's not like that now.

Sigh. I feel like I stepped into another phase in my life. Or chapter. Y'know, the transition from JC to whatever people do during the long break (NS/work) to Uni. I'm glad I went to Harry's because I met so many great people there and I love my job. I feel so comfortable now, I feel like sitting on this job for a longer time but I have to go Uni and I cant be a bartender forever. Imagine a barmaid (I swear I hesitated right there cos barMAID sounds funny to me. Haha. I would rather barTENDER because whether or not youre the girl or guy you tend the bar what. What maid. Just because I'm a female doesnt mean I'm a slave to the bar please. Haha.) at the age of 30plus who looks so old and unattractive I think people see also run away. HAHA. It will definitely be a great experience for me to look back on next time.

OH YES MY COUSIN CHRISTOPHER WANTS TO JOIN ME AT SHENTON WAY. Haha I think it'd be so cool if we were to bartend together. Jimmy gotta talk to Andrew to set up an appointment first. I hope he comes here! Saw him yesterday when at Bugis Village omg havent seen him in ten thousand years. It took me 3 seconds to recognise him with his long hair all. Haha.

Anybody wanna join dance classes with me and Shamayne? I know of a deal which is going for only $100+ with unlimited lessons you can go to. It's called Wu Studio. I'mma join hiphop! Need to lose those fats also. I think I put on weight after I got transferred to Shenton Way and when in the bar. When I was waitressing at Boat Quay I felt like I was walking more than I have ever walked before in one day. Had to gobble down food during breaks cos the Floor Captain will be hot on my heels if I were 5 mins late so always brought cup noodles or buy a burger from McD's to fill my stomach. In the end I lost some weight. BUT I PUT IT BACK ON ALREADY. Maya, let's go for the slimming package at International Plaza. HAHA.

OK time to go. Working morning shift this week. I cant end without posting some cute pics of the SuJu boys ♥ Haha! Enjoy (:

2008-03-10T23:00:00.003+08:00

Hello here I am with some piccahs of SuJu to spam! HUAHUAHUA. ♥ First off, here's Hankyung. He's looking hotter and hotter by the day. Haha! Really really.

Right right! OK next pic I found looks damn funny. Kyu looks like he's sleeping. HAHA. Kangin looks damn funny! But so on in that kissing photo. I like Donghae best here! Ahaha.

Kibum and Heechul!
OK I just found this. I think Kibum's hair is nicer when kept short esp during the Don Don days, doncha think?
HEECHUL'S NEW HAIRSTYLE! Love it! Haha it looks really cool tied back like that.

More pics! :D
His signature peace sign (:
OK HERE'S A MINI YESUNG PIC SPAM JUST FOR CHARLENE! :D

Love this pic here! Haha his side profile is cute!

ANDDDD. NOT FORGETTING KYU! ♥

Siwon! Omg he and his Evisu advert photos. So sexy la. I dont really like him like this. HAHA. It's so un-Siwon! He's cute and innocent but here.. Haha oh well. I WANT MY CUTE AND INNOCENT SIWON BACK!

OK if I happen to find more piccahs to spam, I would! Haha. OK that's about it for SuJu piccahs.

Went to poke poke (our Zen/Choi Tribe lingo for piercing ear) two more holes today after work at Stege! HEH. Poke-poked second earholes at both my earlobes. Now I have in total 7 piercings heh. SO ADDICTIVE LA. I saw an empty space and instantly I was like, OK time to fill up that space! Haha. But I'mma stop already. Like what Mum said, sooner or later I'd look like a typical Indian woman. Nope I wont go there (not trying to be racist OK!) cos that's way too many and too Lian already. Haha.

Sigh today my frustration over Uni leaked out a bit. All that bottled up emotions.. Argh. Sorry if I do offend anybody or behave like an idiot. It's not on purpose. I havent like, released them. I dont mean them. I dunno how to contain it.. DISSIPATE PLEASE. Sigh. I have to brace myself for like a month or two more til I know if I'm called for an interview and more months to go until I know whether I'm confirmed or not. Sigh. I'm glad I have this blog TO VENTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT. RAH! My permissible outlet.

2008-03-10T00:36:00.005+08:00

My results are super crappy. But at the same time, if I were to console myself I improved. But theyre only slight, one-grade improvements. So if you think about it, yes my Prelim results were even crappier. What's done's done I guess. Time to MOVE AHEAD. But I still have yet to release all that emotions inside. I went with a straight face in and out of the hall and to work. Whined a bit to and with Mark and that's about it.

But dont worry about me, I'm fine really. The only thing that I'm worried about is whether the appraisals from Uncle Adam and Ms Seow my form tutor will work in securing me an interview with NTU to allow me to enter under discretion. I REALLY WANT TO DO TOURISM AND HOSPITALITY. TO GET A DEGREE IN THAT COURSE. And with my family's financial stature pursuing that course under a private Uni (like MDIS! Sigh how I wish I could just sign-up there IF but touch wood I cant get into NTU) will be almost a no-no. I think I'll have to work for almost 2 years to cover the cost. They do not have financial assistance schemes that's why. Who ask me to go JC. Haha.

But I did not regret going to SAJC. The people I've met, the experiences and achievements I had are priceless. So yeah maybe SA should have just rejected me during the DSA period and made me go straight to TP to do Tourism and Hospitality already. If I dont get accepted by NTU I feel like I hit a dead end.

AND. There was a call-out to A Level graduates in the Tourism Academy @ Sentosa website to take their Tourism and Hospitality DIPLOMA. Eff la I dont mind but it's not a degree. Why cant it be a degree! Haha. I seriously dont mind if I cant make it to NTU (TOUCH WOOD ONCE AGAIN). RAH! I'm applying to NUS and SMU too, but they dont have T&H in any of their majors or minors. Being the kiasu idiot I am, to enter a Uni, I think I will just apply then see how. ARGH. IRs ARE COMING UP WHY NEVER OFFER!!!

OK yes I do need a therapeutic release. Like a massage/spa/shopping/screaming/crying/bungee jump kinda thing. HA. Everything's bottled up inside. I can only hope it dissipates.

Today went to Parkway by myself in the evening after I woke up (Mummy dyed my hair another colour before I went Parkway! OK more of that later haha) to buy coloured pencils to decorate Regina's belated birthday pressie cos I had only the few coloured pencils at home. Lost most of the packet cos of careless keeping. Ha. Then went to SEOUL MART. Random but I miss Super Junior. HAHA. When are they coming to KL to perform! OK I went Seoul Mart to shop for Korean maggi. Love their spicy kimchi maggi like the Nong Shim Ramyeun and Spicy Mushroom ones. Wanted to look for the maggi that Kibum and Heechul endorsed which I tried the last time but couldnt find ): It was really yummy. Bought two different cup noodles in the end, one Nong Shim one another brand. Try la. Lol. Then went to The Face Shop (another Korean shop! Haha) to buy a new nail polish colour. I'm addicted to The Face Shop's nail polishes. I think I bought half their collection of colours already. Lol. Bought a dark metallic blue colour and painted it on when I got home. Watched the Justin Timberlake's live concert at NYC's Madison Square Garden on DVD while doing that (: That was quite therapeutic. Thanks Deb for lending the DVD to me!

Yep Mum was rather excited to dye my hair to a slightly brighter colour cos she says that my hair colour's getting darker. So she bought this new brand of hairdye, which is from Germany , from Watson's and dyed my hair after I woke up today. It's called Middle Blonde. Haha funny name aye. So my hair colour's a lighter shade of brown now :D (PS Font colour not that accurate. HA.)

So I've got a new hairdye job and blue metallic fingernails. I feel like I went for a spa or sth. Haha. Happy (: But still worried. Sighs. I want a pint of B&J's please.

Had my little therapeutic sessions at work too the day after I collected results. We had new signboards where you can use chalk to write on. I begged Is to let me write on it. Haha. I'm so glad I did because I cheered up right away. I used the coloured chalks and took my time to write the Crazy Hour promotion details on it. The satisfaction of using the coloured chalks and seeing the different colours come to life on the signboard somehow made me smile. Haha. Yea I guess I love colours now. Rather than my usual blacks. Then yesterday Is, Jimmy, Bipin and I went to Paradiz after work (at 3am!!) to play CS. Haha fun stuff la CS. We played till 7.30am xD Then went to McD's for bfast before heading home. Slept at like 9am? Woke up at 4.30pm then Mum dyed my hair. Haha.

Aiyo wanted to do a mini Yesung and Kyuhyun pic spam budden got some prob with the photos uploader thingy. Tsk. Maybe in my next post. Yesung for Charlene cos I found some cute ones in FaceBook and Kyuhyun cos I miss him! The rest are busy with commercials, magazine photoshoots, Unbelievable Outing, etc but he's.. not doing anything. He may be resting I guess. But yeah I miss Kyu!

Alright think I'd better go. Morning shift tmr! Nightnights. Wish me luck for NTU.

2008-02-26T23:23:00.007+08:00

I think for the rest of today and the first half of tomorrow there will be a golf ball stuck in my throat. Suddenly you know! Suddenly so anxious when I felt so carefree yesterday and the day before yesterday, etc etc. Argh. Now I know how Darryl feels.

While talking to Mum over lunch about my future education I felt dreadful. I didnt wanna think about it. Partly cos I dont think I'll do very well for A's because I think all I did was bowl and tried to avoid work the best I could. Haha. OK la not until that bad an extent. So I'm not expecting much but after talking to my seniors to enquire what NTU Business School expects of its applicants I dont think I'll get an A, A, B. Maybe a C, C, C or a B, C, C at best? I dunno. Argh! I hate hate hate thinking about school. How I wish I could just bartend for the rest of my life and stay 19/young. I dont wanna grow up la!!!

It's so painful to mask that anxiety and worrisome feeling and smile and pretend like I'm all rainbows and butterflies. But I have to master that.

OK I shant talk about results anymore. It's creepy. Why happen to me now!!!

.. OK maybe better now than earlier.

ANYWAYS. Yesterday had supper at Geylang Lorong 19 with some colleagues from other branches of Harry's - Veronica and Aaron - after work. We ate frogs. IT WAS YUMMY! Serious. I know it sounds frigging gross somehow but it's really nice. We ordered garlic and dried chilli frog claypot and frog in the chilli crab sauce. You have to try it one day, seriously. I can bring you there too if you want! (: Loved the company as well. They were damn funny people. Veronica is super vulgar with all da KNNBCCB but somehow it cracks us up when she says it. And we talked about the topic of giving birth while having frogs and Veronica was going KNNBCCB da whole time cos she was like, You know how pain it was or not to give birth. It was like going to hell and back! KNNBCCB! And you guys only know how to shoot shoot only! And more explicit stuff which I shant blog here hahahahaha. Damn funny.

OK time to get ready for work. GOLF BALL PLEASE GO AWAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. Here are some random piccahs of some SuJu members I found in FaceBook. They cheered me up a bit (:

2008-02-24T05:21:00.006+08:00

:D

I'm a bartender! Haha. I was working behind the bar since Tuesday and it's been fun yet a little stressful especially when the bar is crowded (Friday night! :///) For once Is(khandar) my mentor kinda shouted at me for forgetting stuff. Which sucks cos I was a lil nervous la. Haha. The orders just kept coming and I wasnt familiar with the concoctions so I felt pretty retarded. Kept passing the cocktail orders to Is while I simply pumped beers -.-" I sneaked a peek at my concoctions list when I took my classmates' orders when they came to visit tho heh. I made Jungle Juice (15ml Midori Melon Liquer, 15ml Malibu, 15ml Banana Liquer, 30ml Lime Juice and 60ml Pineapple Juice) for them! Mark talked to them and walked over to the bar and was like, your classmates ask you to make anything which is sweet and nice. Chose JJ cos Midori and Malibu are supposedly really nice liquers (I didnt try but I heard they are!). Haha my boss Jimmy damn cute. He was like, Whoa eh. Your classmates all very pretty ah! Hahaha of course Jimmy!

Gna work with the other Is the bartender during the night shifts next week. Then got a new bartender coming in next Monday who has zero experience (like me when I started). Mentor Is will be training him up too. I hope I'd be better since I started earlier! Hee. Budden I cant carry the kegs of beers. Damn. Mentor Is says that he wont allow me to do that so as to prevent any accidents since I'm a girl -.-" He says if we girls were to carry too heavy stuff our wombs may come out. Cos each keg of beer weighs about 43kg. Haha it's a really scary thought but oh well. I'm glad that theyre sensitive but I proved my physical strength by topping up the ice bin with buckets of ice and carry the supposedly heavy coffee machine up after breaking down the bar. I dont wna seem like a gu niang la.

Converting to a full-timer soon, hope my progress to become a full-fledged, all-knowing bartender will be faster! Still got so many things to learn like memorising all the cocktail concoctions and more background info on the alcohol served at Harry's.

I wna watch so many movies. Sky of Love, PS I Love You, Death Note trilogy and many more! No time to watch nowadays ): YiuYiu maybe we could gather the Zen/Choi Tribe for Sky of Love!

SUJU when are you coming to sunny South East Asia????

OK I think I'd better go. It's reaching 6am and I'm still up after work. I also dunno where my energy came from. Good night!

2008-02-15T00:27:00.006+08:00

HAPPY 19TH BIRTHDAY MY JADEY DEAR! (:

V Day this year was odd for me. Haha. I had work from 10am-6pm and I had a weird tummyache after having breakfast (bread with cheese. I think twas the blardie cheese's fault la ): ) I had the puking sensation for a few hours so it was rather dreadful. Felt better after drinking warm water. Then after lunch I had the puking sensation AGAIN. Almost cancelled on the movie outing with Deb, Krystal and Mumtaz cos I didnt feel very well but I felt bad cos then I'd pangseh them. So in the end I decided not to pangseh and caught Jumper with them. Luckily I felt OK for the rest of the night (: Didnt really like the ending of the movie though! Twas too abrupt. The company was nice though, Mumtaz's boyfriend came too, we made sure he did so that he could surprise her. LOL! Cos they didnt have any V Day plans initially and we were rather shocked to learn that. Reg and I folded hearts for our colleagues and gave em Hershey's kisses and stuck em on their lockers. Glad they were all surprised! Haha.

Siala, I really hope I become a full-fledged bartender at Harry's in the near future. I feel like I have that interest for bartending like I did for bowling. The wanting to know how to perfect that release, to get the feel of the ball roll and getting that sense of satisfaction after a strike. Same goes for bartending. The want to make that particular drink perfect and the satisfaction after making a good one and they compliment you or have that WOW look on their faces when they see a really cool looking drink with the layers of alcohol or that SIALA NICE LA look on their faces. Haha. I guess it's that passion and interest which dwells inside which makes me wna go further. If not I wouldnt have gave much of a bat of an eyelid to want to know how the bartenders make the drinks, the amounts of the different alcohol inside, blah blah and stuck to my waitressing. I guess I'm searching for a different sense of satisfaction at work now from waitressing to bartending.

I'm starting to like DBSK's Purple Line due to the really hot beat the song has (like Man In Love by Super Junior) and returning to English R&B. Lols. Whine Up is on replay lotsa lotsa lotsa times already (x

I found this really old vid of Super Junior (dated way back in October 2005) where they had a dance battle! It's really cool, I didnt recognise anybody at first. Lol. Heechul's the one with the ponytail, Donghae's the one with the blonde hair bouncing the most (haha (x ), Eunhyuk's on the left team, Siwon as well, Kibum and Sungmin's both in black, Kangin in the right team, Leeteuk did a b-boy move (he looks really cool here!), Hankyung must be the one who did the flip, Yesung in a black and white sleeveless top, Shindong in white with a cross necklace and the one in the sleeveless white hoodie I cant seem to tell who it is (Ryeowook since he's the only one not mentioned but I think he's shorter?). ENJOY! They're dancing to an English song, btw. Lol.

2008-02-10T01:40:00.000+08:00

HAPPY 22ND BIRTHDAY SIWON!

May you stay healthy always cos youre always away from your Choi Tribe that I have to be the Leader and take care of these naughty kids. Lols.

May you continue to hone your singing, dancing, acting and modeling talents and bring Super Junior to great heights! Your ELFs will always be here supporting you right here in teeny Singapore (:

Norul Saranghe Siwon! <3

Alright now's my turn to help out with the tradition of the Choi Tribe to have a pic spam of the birthday boy. Haha I am honoured to do Papa Choi so HERE IT IS!

Alright that's it from Mama Choi!

Love the pics of Siwon in red and the one where he gave Ryeowook a big birthday kiss on the cheek! Haha so cute la.

Vic, do you have gifs of Papa Choi? If you do you can have the honours of posting them up cos I dont have. Lol.

Alrighto I promise I'll BLOG about my life more often than SuJu, cos I think it's becoming a SuJu blog instead of Zen's blog. Lols.

Happy Lunar New Year!

A very cute Saranghe/Saraneyo Lunar New Year pic of Hankyung and Kangin there for you in their traditional Korean costumes! Though maybe Hankyung could've picked another colour. Lol.
CNY has been rather quiet for me this year. Only went to 3 houses for the past 2 days but at least most of my relatives from both the maternal and paternal sides gathered in 2 houses (separately of course). The third house was Jade's. But sadly Krystal and Deb couldnt join us (I miss hanging out with you girls already!) Dont think I'd be doing any visiting on Sat but maybe on Sun to my Ji Ku (Second Uncle)'s house.

OK I found this SuJu interview video on YouTube during their early Don't Don days. It's got English Subs (YAY :D ). Watch out for Sungmin in the first part. Despite his 'punk(y)' hairstyle in the video, he still is that cute Sungmin we know.

Haha. And I didnt know Ryeowook and Siwon got hair extensions (?!) for Don't Don! And Siwon wants to propose in a church! And their movie was mistaken as The Attack On The PEANUT Boys instead of Pin-Up -.-" Haha SuJu fans, just watch!

And I only realised that SuJu was trying to promote their colour, sapphire blue, in their MV of Dancing Out after I went to search for their MV with english subs cos I had nothing to do and was curious to what they were singing about. Haha. WATCH the vid below and take notice of Eunhyuk's rap during the first part. He pronounced 'sapphire' in a weird way, like 'miracle' became 'mee-ra-kerl'! Haha oh well! They're Korean, we have to let 'em go for that. Lol. Well if their management is hiring English tutors I know some *looks at my Choi Tribe* HAHA.

Andddd HAPPY 24TH BIRTHDAY TO HANKYUNG OPPA! The China boy with the soft character and 'charisma' (as quoted by Heechul in the SuJu repackaged album dvd and I do agree haha)! OK here's some fav pics of mine of him. He looks like one of those Japanese anime cartoon characters dont you think? Like Final Fantasy? Haha.

HELLO MY READERS, IVE CHANGED MY BLOGSKIN TO A BIGASS SPACEFUL ONE SO THAT I CAN SPAM VIDEOS AND PICTURES! WAHAHA! *Heechul's evil smile*

Haha! OK I'm procrastinating because of work. I wanted to look for a nice blogskin but dont have the time so I didnt feel like blogging. Haha sorry Vic! Here I am!

OK let's start with work. I've been transferred to Shenton Way's Harry's Bar from Boat Quay's. No more staircase (Jon's very happy about that haha), Shenton Way's Harry's is fully air-conditioned (I'm very happy about that) and our boss is super friendly, super nice (I'm sure we're all VERY happy about that (: ). Jon, Dave, Reg and I have been transferred together from Boat Quay so I was very happy initially cos I know them rather well and they're really fun people to work with, esp Dave and his Strongbow antics. Haha. Strongbow is a cider (beer) btw! I love that cider (beer). If you like sweet (beer) order a Snakebite with Grenadine syrup/blackcurrant syrup. It's got Strongbow and Lager beer inside. Back to the point, my colleagues there are very easy to get along with and I'm really glad for that (: Got Mark (ex-Saint), Maya (damn cute), Bipin (haha quite blur very funny guy), Iskhandar (my bartender mentor!) and our dear boss Jimmy.

Oh yes I'm a barmaid trainee now! :D Haha so exciting sia. Papa was a bartender before. Maybe he can gimme some tips budden he kind of disapproves of my job. Well we'll see.

Yesterday treated my babies, Shamayne, Vic and YiuYiu to Pasta de Waraku in Marina Square (: Was excited to go there cos Reg recommended it to me and I love pasta. And also YiuYiu and Sham havent been there before. For pics go to Vic's blog. I wanna go back again to try their tomato cream sauce!

After that went to put makeup for YiuYiu cos she had a Dinner & Dance. We should've taken a pic! She looked pretty with her dress and heels and makeup (: Then we shopped around a bit before I met up with Shuneng to get Billy and Pok's pressies. Then we met Billy, ate at the coffeeshop where we always tapao food for breaks near where we work and went to drink at Harry's before heading home. Tried a Screaming Orgasm for the very first time. It had Bailey's inside so it was quite nice but Shu didnt like it cos she says that it tasted like cough syrup. Haha. Like how I like peppermint milk tea and peppermint green tea while other ppl thinks it tastes like toothpaste. Haha.

Met Marian in the bus after 1000 years!!! Omg I wish we had a longer bus ride then we could catch up more. Budden oh well I had to alight first. Twas nice to see you again dear! Let's catch up sometime soon OK!

Lemme shout out a HAPPY 20TH (21ST IN KOREA) BIRTHDAY TO KYUHYUN OPPA!

He's the vocal booster of Super Junior! I think he's the best singer and also one of the most humble (: I think he's been nothing but a gem or an asset to SuJu. His car accident would have definitely been a tragedy to him and Super Junior and us Elves if something worse happened to him or have he not recovered because then we'd all have lost sucha great talent. So long live Kyuhyun oppa! Haha.

Going for CNY shopping with my bro afterwards at Bugis Street. But it's raining cats and dogs now, hope it stops soon :S

WATCH THIS! Super Junior in Star King's Christmas Special. Watch out for the sand painter, Heechul painting a story with sand (you'll be surprised!), Sungmin playing the guitar (while crawling backwards on the ground and this really sweet English song) and lots more! Super super hilarious.

Parts 2-9 can be found in the links at the right.

The last episode of Super Junior Explorers of the Human Body will be airing this evening ): So sad! We cant see all 13 of them in their own show anymore unless they decide to continue filming it after their concert tour ): Please do!!! But I cant wait for their concert, which Vic predicted should be around end March (: Sham would be able to make it then.

OK to end off, here's a link to a video of Siwon's photoshoot for EVISU jeans. He looks really hot in it, but I dont understand why they photoshopped his picture until he got pink lipstick liddat :S

2008-01-23T02:05:00.000+08:00

HOT!
Super Junior's Promotional Poster for their first ever Asian Tour - Super Show! :D

It's 2am and I'm still here. Haha. Just wna blog about my LG Touch Me mp3! Love the sleek design and the touchscreen. Makes me feel like a Raptor card holder in Harry's except that this is a portable Raptor machine 10 times smaller. Lol. I hope nothing happens to the touchscreen!!! Except that I cant upload vids to it no matter how my bro converted them which is sucky cos I BOUGHT THIS COS IT CAN PLAY VIDS! Sia la. Have to keep trying I guess. It can only play MPEG4 or WMV9 vids. Or else I'mma borrow Vic's external hard-drive of SuJu vids and try to upload em. Heh.

Gna clubhop with Mat, Deb, Deb's "hubby" (never invite me to your wedding or synchronise our ahem!) and maybe a few of The Pier's colleagues. Haha it'll be quite an interesting combination. Will be a bit awkward leh, I cant really club with mere acquaintances cos you wouldnt wna give em a queer first impression if you know what I mean. Haha. Oh wellsers.

Bought a pair of black skinny pants at This Fashion for work today! :D $29 sia. Quite ex but it's much needed. Alano should really keep pumping more of their items to This Fashion cos it improves their quality of design and clothes in general at the store-even Reg think so too, she bought a dress from there (:

I'm just gna work at The Pier for a week (this week) so I'm quite glad I'm going back to Boat Quay cos I got rather "homesick" of the place and the people. Not that The Pier's people arent (theyre really really nice!) budden it's just a different working environment and that it's less accessible than Boat Quay. I can open a wine bottle by myself alr yay! Practised at Anuaar's birthday bbq as well as at The Pier on Monday heh my floor manager allowed me to (:

Heard rumours that A's results may be out during the end of Feb. Well I'm glad it's not gna crash with the KL Suju concert trip. Ahaha. It'll be either a celebratory or relief trip so.. I certainly hope it's the former! But I'm not expecting much so I guess we'll see.

2008-01-21T01:37:00.000+08:00

I think I'm PMSing. Wtf right. There you go, What The F. I'm quite taken aback by my sudden increase in emotional sensations. I snapped a lot at little things, I was a bit teary at the wedding today during the slideshow cos the song was damn super romantic and my cousin and his new wife's pics are so sweet and I used F, balls and pissed today. Usually I dont endorse vulgarities and can control how I feel one. Stupid girly hormones. Ha.

OK la the one thing that triggered it is the news from my supervisor that I'm being transferred to another branch of Harry's tmr at The Pier @ Robertson. Myself. Like w(here)tf is that. Googled it and found out that it's at Mohd Sultan Road but there's no friggin bus there except for Night Riders. How to get there everyday sia. And I felt sad that I'm gna leave my colleagues at Boat Quay ): Like Regina and the other colleagues whom I got close to and enjoy working with. Even though Ive only been there for a fortnight. Then mum suggested I call my supervisor to tell them it's inconvenient for me anyways. No bus sia how. So I called and my sup says that I've only been arranged to help out over at The Pier for a week and that he'll arrange someone to send me there from Boat Quay tmr. I was like OMG SO SWEET! I felt better la. I dont really mind helping out. But gotta make new friends somemore over at The Pier. I'm a bit lazy alr la. Haha. I dont like awkward situations and I'm so glad I didnt have to be awkward ard the Boat Quay ppl anymore. Guess it's something Ive to go through to build me up as a person.

Think I'll be able to get my LG MP4 tmr :D Cant wait!

Oh and I think I'll teach myself Korean instead of attending language classes cos theyre rather ex, by the few hundreds :S Gna buy like, Korean for Dummies or some self-learning book on Hangul. Cant wait to go KL to watch Super Junior as well :D Please release ur concert dates soon!!!

2008-01-18T15:00:00.000+08:00

Haha yesterday went clubbing with Krys, Deb and Mat and twas DA BOMB :D Haha twas one of the funnest clubbing outings ive ever been to. One, we could drink lots cos twas Ladies' Night over at The Arena so we went to get Lychee Martinis and vodkas (bleah I still dont really like it haha). I got 2 Martinis and a vodka cranberry. Two, Deb's dad came over to Clarke Quay after work and asked us to join him at Lunar and we drank MORE. Lol. Her dad is damn hip I tell you! He was like, why are you girls so serious! when we were sitting at a table drinking. Very hard to dance to Chinese songs leh. Haha. They even played Ji Pa Ban! Omg haha. Three, we camwhored like no tomorrow. HAHA. Most pics taken ever at a clubbing outing for me. We camwhored in Central's toilet, MOS, Lunar and even on the way to MOS. Four, we felt high the whole time cos of all the alcohol that we even danced to chapalang songs in MOS and went crazy at the nice ones (Easy, Gimme More, The Way I Are) xD Mat and Krys were worried when Deb and I were like, OMG what is wrong with me! I cant see straight hahahahahahahaha. Hahaha. Siao liao. By the end of the night I think I drank 8 drinks in total and on the way home I felt numb, like my sense of hearing and balance have decreased by half. Haha. I dont think I'm drunk cos I know what I was doing. Maybe was just suffering from the bad side effects of too much alcohol in the bloodstream.

Once the cab stopped at my house downstairs, I was like omgomgomg cos I felt like puking and like I had no energy to lift my body liddat. That feelings sucks man! It took a great effort to open the door and put my shoes in the shoerack. Collapsed on the couch for 15mins before I pried myself out of it to at least bathe. Collapsed in front of my cupboard for another 15mins. Lol. Cos felt like puking again. Whoa I am gna watch my alcohol intake man, but I'm glad I got to test my limits with people whom I know would keep me safe so thanks girls!

So that was quite a fun but scary experience.

Super Junior stuff coming up! Lol I cant help it. I fell in love with Thirst (A Man In Love), a song only found in their repackaged album, Don't Don. Here's the imeem song (must be playing when youre reading this post. Nice right?!) and their live performance of Marry U + Don't Don + Thirst (A Man In Love) (: Love this perf! Thirst (A Man In Love) has really really really urged me to join O School already! I love the beat. I want to dance!!!

OK I hope I survive work today.

BTW HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY TO ANUAAR SALLIM MY BROTHER-IN-LAW! (:

2008-01-14T00:36:00.000+08:00

OK me and my dear Zen/Choi Tribe (minus Charlene Tay who's in Indiana right now ): ) will be heading over to KL for Super Junior's concert in March! :D I am so excited I tell you, I feel like peeing in my shorts. Hahah I am just kidding. We havent got our hands on the concert tickets yet nor the hotel, gotta check out the exact date of the concert which have yet to be announced and we dunno how we can obtain those tickets yet either. But I think if we were to go it'd be best if we bought the front row tickets since we're already all the way in KL! Might as well huh. Plus it'd be a THIRTEEN MEN SHOW! :D :D :D Will be worth it! But I'm wondering if Hankyung will be able to make it cos he's from China and apparently he has some problems with his Visa if he travels to other countries besides China and Korea. And pray that no member gets injured! They are quite sway in the freak accidents department :/ My brother's interested as well, he can be our bodyguard when we're there! Haha. So eggciting :D Kids, we can even go to the theme park in Sunway! Woooooot! :D SAVE UP OK PEOPLE!

Haha dont they look cute here -

They can be cool too -

Haha they currently look like the very first photo though, even though it's an old photo. All black haired, very guai now.

Wheee with my first paycheck from my previous admin job in Ascendas I'mma spend it on a new MP4 :D I was recommended to an LG MP4 (which plays videos/movies as well), 4 gigabytes, touchscreen and it comes with a free leather case and screen protector for only $229 at Best Denki. CHEAP RIGHT? It's on promotion, if not it's $300+. I wanted the new generation iPod Nano budden the promoter was explaining to us that the Nanos are made in China instead of the US so we're practically buying a more expensive MP4 for the brand. I quite agree with him budden who doesnt like the iPod appeal right. But to save money also, I'm getting the LG one instead. It's manufactured in Korea. Lollls. I dunno the diff between manufactured goods in China and Korea but I guess I trust Korea a lil more? They manufacture iRivers too!.. Err OK I guess I'm trying to make Korean goods sound appealing. Hahah. It looks like the Prada LG phone -

And I owe my Choi/Zen Tribe as well as Krystal+Deb+Mum a treat too, so gna spend my first paycheck. But nevermind, I'm glad to do so. It'll be wellspent la (: Next month's one will go into the SuJu Concert Fund!

Yeah work! It's fun working at Harry's Bar. It's very people-oriented, which I much prefer to the Ascendas' admin/packing job. You get to interact with your colleagues a lot cos theyre around the same age as I am (mostly 18-20plus) and we gotta work together as a team to serve customers. Theyre really nice people to work with as well (: The customers there are mainly expats so tips arent too bad and theyre really friendly (: And I look damn diff when I'm working I think. HAHA. I must wear tight black skirt plus make-up and hair must look neat.. Normally my hair damn messy one and not tied up. Haha. Curious? Come have a drink at Harry's! Haha.

OK gotta work afternoon shift tmr, better go sleep. Tuesday's gna be cool cos it'll be Regina's first day and Jade and her friend Cheryl's gna go down for an interview! (: Eggcitingggg!

2008-01-11T13:30:00.000+08:00

OMG! SUPER JUNIOR IS TOURING ASIA AND THEYRE GNA HAVE CONCERTS STARTING END FEB!!! OMG OMG I WANNA GO! THEYRE GOING KL! AH I AM SO FRIGGIN EXCITED CAN! :D

I KNOW I SOUND CRAZY HAHA WHO CARES!!!

THEYRE ALL LOOKING HOT IN BLACK! (So diff from their Don't Don days haha everyone turned from pai kia to guai kias (x ) Siwon's looking as hot as ever! (3rd from left)

Lemme calm down first before I blog about work haha!

2008-01-09T00:18:00.000+08:00

Haha this year's birthday for me was the bestest and sweetest so far (: The celebrations were really fun and the efforts put in are heartwarming (after I managed to get to know some behind-the-scenes stuff which my dearest classmates and bowling teammates did to make the birthday surprise party run smoothly), the outing on the 5th with my Zen/Choi Tribe as well as to Billy, Pok, Shuneng and Reg who literally counted down to my birthday at Arena and also from the phone msgs from OG mates, friends and family (: I just felt so appreciated and remembered. And I would like to thank everyone again!!! It was definitely a special birthday period for me. Especially when I managed to hang out with so many groups of friends- my sec school clique from class, my sec school bowling clique (Reg, Shu, Billy and Pok), my dimsumpalace 06A2 and the bowlers (((: Words really cant express how thankful I am for everything theyve done for me (: <3

And most importantly my family too. The 4 of us may not be the most united of families, but the morning birthday kiss from my mum (and Zoe haha) and her paying for my birthday cake made me feel so happy, my bro's cute Hello Kitty phone pouch (haha it's damn cute I tell you) and his willingness to follow me to buy the cake on my birthday as well as my dad singing Happy Birthday twice to me with him moving Zoe about on his lap along to the song-they were all sweet little gestures la (: <3 <3 <3

I still cant believe I'm NINETEEN. So old ): I have to get used to this age. Haha. Last year of being a teen! I liked 18. Haha.

I've got a part-time job btw! At Harry's Bar at Boat Quay. PLEASE COME DOWN AND VISIT ME AND REGINA! Haha. I start work tmr while Reg starts next Mon. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. Anxious? Yeah! Cos I think I have short term memory and I may not be able to be fast in learning. I can leave my house keys on the coffee table and forget where I put it like 5 mins later :S Yeah even these little things! I really hope I'd be able to get used to the nocturnal life. I'm starting work at 5pm tmr and will end at about 2am. And Ive to brush up on my English too man, their clientele includes lots of expat working professionals. And I'm scared that I may spill or drop stuff. And also what if I get touched. Haha ok maybe I'm a little paranoid. But yeah cant help it I guess. Gotta have more experience as I work longer over there! Think I may bump into Ben, my Math tutor cos he frequents Harry's Bar but I dunno if he'd be at Boat Quay's branch. Haha. And it'd be my turn serving him instead of him serving me. Lol.

Today went to play badminton with Billy, Pok and Reg at Hougang Stadium. Haha first exercise outing of the year man! And I think it's a first in like weeks as well! Lol. Anyhows the whole outing was to kinda like bid Billy goodbye cos he's going into NS next Monday already. I feel quite sad for my guy friends who's going army this year. They all look really sad each time they talk about going in. And it was nice cos badminton was our clique sport, besides bowling. Lol. Ever since end of Sec 3! That's how long ago our badminton tradition was (: We crashed Billy's house after that and watched The Hills Have Eyes 2 on Tudou, watched the boys play Dota and played lotsa card games with lotsa variations (casino, friends', etc). Twas really a sweet and nostalgic time for me. Haha. I find that they opened up a whole lot more throughout the years and it's so nice to poke fun at them, especially during the card games haha omg I swear they bond ppl together (it did during the bowling farewell chalet!) cos you get to see ppl get agitated and they will be damn funny when they are. During dinner I was comparing it to lunch. The situation was completely different cos we were lunching with some classmates of Billy and Pok's from MSH and twas rather awkward cos we dunno them while dinner was so.. comfortable that you can kiao kah type. Hahaha. Yeah. And they were so sincere about teaching us Dota. I'm not that interested in it but was curious enough to know how it goes. I declined their offers of letting me have a go at it. I think I'd be asking questions about every move I will make la haha. But somehow I find their gesture really sweet and encouraging. I thought boys will be more into the game and like, maybe stereotype girls as bochap about games like that and may not be as enthu to teach. Yep, apparently they were very on seh. Haha. I will miss these outings man.

Super Junior transited over in Singapore (I think?)! Omg why cant they just be over HERE! I think I'll just go crazy if they do. Poor Siwon's injured, he was in crutches at the airport in Taipei! Very difficult to find out why, I only know of one Korean gossip site and it's www.popseoul.com. Anybody have any idea if there are any other sites like these? I'm still waiting for episode 9 of their Explorers of the Human Body show with the english subs so I can understand it! When I first watched the first few episodes, Charlene Y., Vic and Sham were my translators. Haha. Cos they watched it with english subs before and the vids they showed us didnt have em.

Oh yeah I dont think I'll be piercing my eyebrow anytime soon cos of work ): Need to uphold standards so. So sad! I guess I'll be a little decent for now. Haha. Anxioussssssssssssss!

2008-01-04T18:41:00.001+08:00

I DYED MY HAIR! :D

My mum bought bleach for me, so it's really golden brown now (after that failed attempt after A's haha). I think after a couple more washes I'll almost be blonde :S I hope wont cos I think that'll be too bright.

Wen Jin msged me this afternoon to ask me to join her, Zhao, Zihui, Mat and Mat's friends at DXO tonight cos it's Ladies' Night there. I'm going but like got nothing to wear. Haha. Have la, but always wear the same stuff. That's why I need more clothes. Come on throw some over here! Hahah (;

Cant wait for the weekend (:

2008-01-03T00:23:00.000+08:00

HAPPY 19TH BIRTHDAY SHAMAYNE DOTTIE! (:

It was Shamayne's birthday today (2nd Jan) and we celebrated with her by crashing her school hehehe. After walking out of the bus (omg I must blog about the bus fare later!), I suddenly felt like a cool high school student in those American shows. Hahaha. Cos we were all in our outside clothes and for me it's a first time going to a school where everyone wears whatever they like instead of the usual uniform. It was definitely a cool experience! Haha. After which we had lunch (Shamayne's treat! Thanks Sham! (: ) and Sham and Vic tried to teach me the steps to Don't Don by Super Junior at the lift lobby below the lecture theatres. Lol theyre good at it la! The dance routine really make me wanna join O School and pick up dancing! Then Sham and Vic had to leave for their lessons at 3 so me, Charlene Y and Reg went to the library to slack til 5. We went to Tampines Mall to have dinner afterwards and followed Sham to Stege to pierce her upper ear! Guai kia turned pai kia. Hahaha. I think Vic was inspired and wanted to accomplish her Ryeowook (one of the SuJu members who had 5 ear piercings done for their cool concept for their new song, Don't Don but at one go) mission and so decided to pierce her upper ear too. Now she has 3 and 2 more to go. Lol. Another pai kia! Will be meeting them on Sat again to learn the rest of Don't Don! :D Wish we could find like 9 other people then we can dance it properly since there are 13 members in SuJu (x

Lemme also post a shoutout to Sungmin, another member of the band whose birthday was on New Year's Day!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SUNGMIN OPPA!

He's a fellow Capricorn wooo! How great is it having your birthday fall on the 1st of Jan! Everyone will be counting down to your birthday EVERY YEAR! Haha!

Talking about birthdays, I'll be turning 19 too in 3 days. Haha I sound quite dots about it cos I feel so old! I look at those younger than me who have accomplished so much in their lives I feel so inferior and pale in comparison to them ): Maybe it's the Singaporean way of life. We're rather constricted in a sense. We're engineered to go through this rather rigid education system bounded by stereotypes which mostly consists of the older generations, kiasu-ism, narrow-minded thinking.. I dunno larh. I'm 19 and yet I feel like I wish I had learnt to be more street-smart, travelled more, experienced more and allowed myself to take risks. Such as going to TP instead to take Tourism and Hospitality Management cos that's what I'm interested in. But of course I wouldnt wanna trade my experience in Saints Bowling for anything cos it was a really great one (: Ah becoming older is taking its toll on me.. Haha. It's my last year of being a teen!

Here's my wishlist for my birthday if anybody wants to buy anything. Haha a bit thick-skinned to put this up budden I'd rather not if people were to get stuff I wont be able to use then will waste money.. Haha. So here goes:

1) Super Junior Don't Don album (with the booklet of photos of SuJu)
2) Super Junior 2008 calendar
3) A Choi Siwon (from SuJu) blog template? Haha!
4) A new handbag/going out bag!
5) New clothes! (dresses, tops, suspenders, belts, skinnies, anything! My wardrobe needs a revamp -.-")
6) Sport Fever cologne from Adidas (the orange coloured one. Yeah I use cologne too.. It's nice. Me and my bro always share the Adidas colognes. Heh. I dont mind whatever other nice perfumes though :P)
7) The new generation iPod Nano / PSP
8) Sony Ericsson Walkman phone
9) Forgiveness and understanding from friends and family cos I know I make mistakes sometimes and I learn from making mistakes so I hope for those in the process of growing up to be an adult.

Yep that should be about all that I need! Yes I guess 7 and 8 are rather grand wishes, that I can try to achieve on my own. Other wishes include piercing my left eyebrow and learning Korean! Haha. Anybody want to recommend me a Korean teacher? Lol.

Here's a cover of a Korean song called Dahl Peng Ee by SuJu's Kyuhyun, whom I think is the best singer of SuJu yet (: And he's only 19 and the youngest member of the band! It's a solo song and I think he sounds most lovely, charming and amazing here. You seriously wont regret clicking on this video. SERIOUSLY. Haha. Yep. Even though you may not understand it, his voice is nice enough to touch your heart. So clickie!

Here's another song, a capella version (:

I am simply in awe of his singing talent. Enough said.

OH YES ABOUT THE BUS FARE! OMG WE HAVE TO PAY ADULT FARE ALREADY!!! ): ): ): Reg tested it out yesterday and she confirmed it. AH SO VERY SAD! Lucky I had Reg to remind me EACH TIME we alighted from a bus. Cos all 3 buses that we took during the course of the day I JUST HAPPILY WANTED TO WALK OUT OF THE BUS. Cos I usually never tap out while the fare was still 45cents each ride no matter how far the journey is. I musnt start this bad habit or else I think ah. Taking cabs will be cheaper lor. Hahaha.

2007-12-23T02:41:00.000+08:00

OMG haha. I have this humungous teenage crush on Siwon Choi from Super Juniors right after Charlene Yiu, Shamayne and Vic introduced Charlene T. and I to Super Juniors, this Korean boyband which consists of 13 members. They played all 5 episodes of their variety show for us last night from 12midnight to 4.30am in the morning. Haha. But their shows are really really addictive! The show educates about the human anatomy and the boys are being experimented upon (not surgically or anything like that) and it's damnnnnnnnn friggin funny esp the 5th episode where all the members were being spun around for 30 times and were made to walk this catwalk to the end where they had to stand on one foot for 3 secs. IT WAS MIGHTY HILARIOUS COS EVERYONE RAN SIDEWAYS! Thinking they're running forwards! Hahahahaha. One of them managed to reach the end after collapsing at both sides of the catwalk and did a SARANEYO before he lost his balance like the Leaning Tower of Pisa hahaha omg damn funny. Then there was another episode where all of them were given a dose (or two or THREE) of nitrous oxide or LAUGHING GAS. Hahaha omg everyone was rolling around on the floor laughing and you know how contagious laughing is (they even experimented on whether laughing was contagious and it was proven that it is!) so we were laughing non-stop as well (x Sham, Vic and Charlene Y. were all very proud that they made me and Charlene T. fans of a band who sings in a foreign language. Lol.

Ok enough boy talk! Got extended for another 3 days next week for work cos another dept really needed us to help them archive their files so I reluctantly accepted and cos Shu cant work with me next week I asked Mumtaz and she said yes (: I actually feel very tired and sian of work cos I dont really like the office environment-being frozen for 9 hours straight and facing the same people all the time, 8.45am-5.45pm ): But I thought about the amount I was to earn and how much they needed us cos we're more familiar with the process of archiving and what to archive and how to do so, so I agreed.

Spending Christmas with Krystal, Mumtaz and Deborah! (: (: (: I miss them so much la, we havent met up for 2 weeks plus already. Not that long ago I know, but I miss them anyway. I see them everyday in school and now that it's the hols, it's a rather weird feeling that I dont get to see them often so yeah I miss them. Bought a dress for the occasion at this boutique which moved into a proper stall near Parkway yesterday (: $10 only! Omg I was so shocked can. It was supp to be $39.90. Cos they just opened up the boutique, all the clothes were going for $10 each. But the stall is rather odd cos it's located at such an obscure place! Lol. It's located at the side of the old Republic theatre. It's like they made a rectangular space at the side of the building to house the shop. Lol.

Today when I went to Stege I went to enquire for the price of piercing an eyebrow. It costs $60. Ok la. Can afford after getting my pay at the end of the month. I really think I AM going to pierce leh. So tempting! Kinda sian of my 'guai' (maybe not to some haha) image. LOL. I am thinking of dyeing my hair a brighter brown also after the failed attempt before prom. Haha.

Boozed a bit today at Jo's at Charlene's farewell party and played Poker but lost $5. $2 was sponsored by dear Shamayne cos she wasnt familiar with the game but wanted to study the game first. Haha but twas rather fun. Got to make friends with Charlene's classmates at CAE as well (:

I think this post is rather blabbered cos I feel half-gone. Haha. Tired. I'm just thankful I get to catch up and hang out with all my different group of friends this holiday (:

Here's Mr Hot Stuff btw (:

L-R; Donghae, Siwon. Siwon looks like a mix of Wang Lee Hom and Takashi Kaneshiro eh?

I am contemplating on whether or not to pierce my eyebrow. It certainly looks hot on Fergie. How! My mum doesnt seem keen at the idea though (she has like 3 tattoos to date). I guess it's different cos it's a facial piercing. I guess I'll check out the price and everything first.

Haha yesterday was a blast over at Charlene's. We wanted to watch a horror flick and decided on The Hills Have Eyes. So Charlene called her mum to help us drop by the dvd rental store to get it for us. In the end her mum couldnt find it I think, and came back with FIVE horror films instead. Lol! We were like WHOAAA! Got The Return with Sarah Michelle Gellar in it, Hannibal Rising, Hostel 2 and two others which we didnt watch in the end. We didnt really find them horrifying at the end. Haha. The Return was a supernatural flick but I dont think it can be compared to Asian supernatural flicks like The Eye 2. It had like two lemme-boo-you moments and that's about it. While the latter two are more gory. Think Happy Tree Friends. Haha. After Hostel 2 it was already 5am and I felt really tired so turned in first while Shamayne and Charlene T. continued with Ratatouille. Lols. We were all worried that we may have nightmares so we all just slept on and around the couch in front of the TV. Lol. In the end we all didnt dream while we slept so WHEW. Haha. Had our feast of a breakfast with 1 and a half trays of eggs and toast. Made all kinds of egg recipes la; scrambled egg, hard-boiled eggs (when they were supp to be soft-boiled -.-") and omelette. I think the nicest part of the sleepover was the part when we all sat together and reminisced about secondary school days (: We could even remember the seating plan of the whole class WTH! Haha! All 30 plus of us! And the times where our clique of 6 would have a systematic way of buying food and drink for recess so that we wont need to waste so much time-once the recess bell rings Charlene Y. and Vic would take our drink orders and help us queue up to buy them while the rest of us would buy food for us. Cos one person is only entitled to buy 2 drinks at a time (how crappy is that haha) Char and Vic could only buy 4 so Shamayne or one of us will always be at the queue in time when Char and Vic orders so we'd have 6 drinks one. LOL. They were really nice memories ahhhhhhhhh if only we can relive it for just one more day ):

Last day of work tomorrow at Ascendas! Cant wait to get my pay and shop and think about that eyebrow piercing.

Reg will be leaving for China tonight til the 31st ): But Krystal's back from China (also haha) so I guess we can hang out (: Will most prolly be catching up with the senior bowling girls during Boxing Day so yay! And I kinda miss clubbing. Haha. I havent went for two weeks cos of work. Still havent went for Smoove at the main arena at MOS, so may go with Deb and some classmates next Thurs (:

Havoc siallll. Fun. But I'm still me!

2007-12-19T16:49:00.000+08:00

Warlords was fantastic, I'd give it a 4/5. The fighting scenes somehow reminded me of those English Roman films like Troy and LOTR. Lol. And Takashi Kaneshiro was super charming OMG! Haha. I know Mumtaz has the hots for him but I never really understood why until I saw him in Warlords yesterday. His eyes are MESMERISING!!! -swoons-

Work is liddat lor. Haha. Nothing interesting happened, except that today is Bring Your Kids To Work Day, so we saw tiny tots to kids like 7 years old. Very cute! Had a free buffet for lunch. But not much nice stuff left cos we came late.

Anyways back to trivial stuff. HAHA. I was horrified to learn that JAMIE LYNN SPEARS IS PREGNANT (on my very fav gossip website at http://www.perezhilton.com/. Very up-to-date gossip news available there. If today you find a piece of news there you will most prolly find it in Life! of The Straits Times only 2 days later) OMG RIGHT!!! AT SIXTEEN! AND I'M EIGHTEEN! OK la maybe cos she has a boyfriend. Plus the fact that she's LIVING with her boyf. WTF right. I dunno, I thought she was the complete opposite of Britney. But I guess not.. Seeing the pic of her in the site wearing a cross around her neck.. What's the point? Her family is screwed up la. Britney only learned of her sis' pregnancy after she read it from a magazine. Sheeeeesh.

Staying over at Charlene Tay's house tonight (: Maybe gonna play FATAL FRAME WITH ME AT THE CONTROLLER!!! :OOOOO I hope I wont drop it in fright cos I will feel the vibration if a ghost attacks. Haha. Expensive controller so cannot drop. Cant wait to catch up with my babies as well-Shamayne, Charlene Yiu and Victoria. Family reunion. My other baby Charlene Tay's gonna fly off to the US to study on Christmas Eve )))): Cant believe it la. She was my upper sec class seating partner and I remember the times when we did stupid and retarded stuff, got caught almost every other lesson for talking so much by Mrs Ooi our short Chemistry teacher whom nobody gives a damn about, studying and progressing upwards together during our Sec 4 year (I can still remember we were soooooooooo damn freaking ecstatic that we finally passed our Chem and got a B4 during Prelims and we were hi-fiving and all and Mrs Ooi had to shut us up) OMG SO MANY MEMORIES! I will miss you Charlene ):

OK BACK TO WORK I GO.

2007-12-11T20:47:00.000+08:00

I am so tired from work. From the superlong journey home especially. And I think I didnt realise it the last time (either that or my legs grew longer) but the space between two rows of seats is damn SMALL. Accompanied Shu to Buona Vista MRT cos she was gna meet her bf there. Took 196 home from there. Our workplace is all the way at Science Park, damn far away from the lovely east! So the ride was about 1hour plus and I had to prop up my legs against the seat in front of me cos my knees were painful after being squooshed against the plastic backing of the seat in front of me and guess what happened.

PIAAAAAAAAAAAK!

The stupid plastic backing of the seat went in. I think it is because it was already broken hence the piak noise when the plastic backing went in. Superrrr paiseh sia, the noise. Like I broke the seat liddat. Cos if I want to fit my legs into the space between the seats nicely I'd have to sit upright. Had a bit of a backache after sitting in that fashion after a while, so slid down my seat a lil and my knees were like squashed against the hard plastic so i propped my legs up and in went the plastic -.-"

*waves a banner that says WIDER LEG SPACE IN THE BUS PLEASE!!!*

Work is rather slack. Heh heh. Shu and I can take our time to do our work, so we just did them in our own pace. We even got our own room in the office heh! One that was occupied by a boss while the normal office workers got cubicles (x So basically we have privacy. We had our own phone, own whiteboard which has I-dunno-how-many-pages so if you were to write sth there and dont want to erase it but want another free page just press this button and a new 'page' appears. PLUS IT PRINTS! Hahaha. Shu went to try. Not me. Hahahaha. We also caught naps especially me! I was so tired today. Basically our job is to help spring clean their office, help to recycle their paper, organise their library of files into boxes and collate the file titles in Microsoft Excel like a database and go MSN (we each got a notebook to use in the office today!) :D (Everyone in the office MSNs!) We felt like boys when we had to move stuff around. I mean, we could do them, like lugging carton boxes and boxtops around, but I guess this job seems more suited for guys cos we had to pack ALOT.

I freeze everytime I'm in the office cos it's super coooooooldddddd. It's the rainy weather! Shu and I were dreaming of going to Sentosa to play beach volleyball when it rained. Haha sigh! I am all wrapped up when I go for work. Lol. Oh and I love the sandwich vending machine! They have 4 different types of sandwich such as Chicken and Cheese, Omelette, Curry Chicken and Fish and Cheese. Damn cheap, $1-$1.50 only and we usually have em for lunch. Plus, they're hot and toasted when they are dispensed :D

But I dont think I'm gna stay in this job for long. I dont like being stuck in an office, meeting the same people whom you dont really interact with since theyre already so busy with their own work and Science Park is farrrr. Shu and I were thinking of applying for a pub job instead. At least you get to interact and meet new people (: Your working environment doesnt change like the office but different people enter and exit from the place and you dont need to stone around or deal with inanimate objects (ie the computers and files), get what I mean?

It sucks that there is CPF contribution of 20percent ): Shu was saying that she'd probably be in heaven by the time she can use her CPF savings so what is the point. Lol we'd have to hope for longevity then.

Oh and I love Forever 21 now! Haha. My wallet is in trouble sia.

2007-12-07T00:38:00.000+08:00

Haha. So many things happened in the course of this week.

Had a heart-to-heart with bestie at 5am-7am on Tuesday. Was over at her place to wait for the first bus cos the night before we cycled to Anuaar's chalet at NSRCC with her bikes and cycled back at 3.30am. The talk really enlightened me. I felt like my brains aged 5 years. Haha. How do I explain this. Okay I felt like I learnt a lot of things. Such as the fact that it's important to open up, whether or not youre in a friendship or relationship because it will really make things easier and you wont end up assuming too much of the other party, not talk about it and ultimately be upset at the end. Secondly I feel like we're closer as besties after that (: So thanks Reg, for opening up (: I love you!

Oh and I went for my first manicure on Tuesday with Reg! Her mum is a member of OPI at CBD so her mum wanted Reg to get a mani and pedi for prom and offered to pay for mine too. I was rather overwhelmed by the offer so I said that a mani will be enough cos I dont think people will really notice your toes that much and since her mum was paying as well. So I got a french manicure done! Haha twas a rather tiring experience actually. There were like 10 stages altogether to a manicure. First you gotta wash your hands. Then the manicurist shaped the ends of the nails to a flat shape. Then some cuticle gel for the cuticles. Then pushed the dead skin back with some rounded tool. Then she used this picking tool to pick the dead skin out. Then a hand massage. Then an application of a clear base coat, followed by the pink nail polish, followed by the second coat, followed by the white nail polish at the ends, then the top coat and lastly drops of jojoba (?) oil. WOW I was like, WHOAAAA. Hahaha. No wonder it's like, a de-stressing activity. You see your nails get prettied-up at the end of an hour and it feels satisfying. Haha.

Wednesday was prom, which was.. I dunno. HAHA. When people asked me if it was fun, I didnt know how to answer them cos I didnt think that word could characterise it. It was more like a picture-taking, people-watching and a good dinner event than fun. I mean, the councillors did organised some games but they werent exactly interactive with the whole audience. AND THERE WASNT POST PROM. OMG even those who werent going for prom and my friends from other JCs were asking me if I had any idea if there was one. But NO there wasnt. Not that I'm a siao clubber or what, but almost every reputable JC would have one after prom. It's like a custom years past. In the end I think MOS became an unofficial post prom hangout. Haha. There were many saints there cos Zouk was the first choice but it was full house by the time prom ended so everyone went MOS. Somehow I change my mind about Zouk after being in MOS for the second time. I think I like MOS better. The area of the main arena is much bigger and the revolving platform in the middle is HOT! Haha! Twas fun to be on it. And you dont have to know the moves to the retro songs like in Mambo so you can boogie however you like. I half-expected Mambo noobs to start practising their moves to the retro songs before like, heading to Zouk next Wednesday or sth. Hahaha. Smoove was okay la. The cage is pretty cool, but I like Phuture's interior better. Plus Smoove was really smokey! Ugh. The smoking rooms werent very effective in curbing smoke in the club man. Mainstream R&B was played more in Smoove than in Phuture. THEY PLAYED GIMME MORE OMG EVERYONE WENT MAD. I WENT MAD. Haha! Andrew Chow damn sneaky. He decided to squash like 1 min of every mainstream song he could find in the last hour of the opening hours of Phuture. Cheat our feelings. Hahaha.

I was clubbing in my prom dress cos I couldnt be bothered to change. I was probably the only one with a floorlength dress in the club but I didnt really care la. Only one guy stepped on my dress in Smoove but he was really sorry about it. Lol. My heels killed me just in the space of half an hour so tried to bear with the pain in the balls (of the feet!) and the straps which were strangling my toes. When Victoria and Nicholas wanted to head to mcd's (haha today I kena suaned by Boon cos they didnt know what that meant! It's McDonald's! But I guess everyone spells it as mac's in short form) I jumped at the idea cos I needed to rest my feet really badly and I was hungry and dying of thirst la. Haha imagine that feeling and the quick response! So we ate 2 packets of shaker fries and iced milo while waiting for the rest to meet us there. Left at 5.30am feeling sooooooo tired.

Today at Sel's house I felt a little zombielike cos I still felt tired but tried to perk myself up since almost the whole class was there. Not very nice to give in to fatigue while at an occasional gathering like this. Anyways his house WAS DA BOMB! It had a very modern feel, with floor-to-ceiling glass walls, the many modern paintings in the house and an open-air basement which had a L-shaped fish pond, bar and tables. Niceee. Food was great too, loved the naan and curry! Too bad the class didnt really do anything. We just watched TV and chatted. Wish more people stayed too.

I wanna keep changing for the better.

2007-11-30T01:30:00.000+08:00

Fuck.

That was the first word I thought of after I woke up from this.. ~~nightmare of a~~ dream. Okay. Maybe a nightmare. But it wasnt one with monsters or ghosts and such. It is one which contains the past which haunts your future. It's wishful thinking and yet at the same time not what you should want at present. Am I making sense?

I wouldnt reveal what exactly happened per se here cos I think it's something which I'd really wanna put behind and get on with it. I allowed myself to think about it for the rest of the day after I woke up and confide in 2 of my closer girl friends and I hope perhaps after tomorrow I'd be all fine again. Cos there's really no effing point looking back at the memories. Theyre just fragments of memories captured by the brains which decides to return to haunt the sleeping brain cos I kinda provoked the subject a few days ago. It just scared the shit out of me that the dream felt so real. It felt exactly like the past, though it was in a different setting. And I felt so damn protected like the bolster I have to hug every night so that I would feel safe and sleep comfortably. Fuck man. I just wish you didnt have to be that person. I wish it's any other person but you. Argh. Alright I'm gonna stop here cos really, I think it's damn crappy that it had to be you and I already walked away.

And another shit ass thing is, I told a friend, that I didnt want him to smoke. It's sad to see him do so. He's really a good boy and all. His personality is a really great one. And can you imagine a friend whom you think is a gem holding up a cigarette and building up fucked up tar in his lungs? You will never know what happens to your lungs cos you cant SEE what harm youre doing to them. So you keep smoking cos you dont know what the fuck is happening to your lungs. One more stick. Just one more. And then another and another and maybe I could say infinity until the lungs are hardened and you cant utilise your breathing mechanism anymore in future. That happened to my grandfather. The only warning or precaution or danger sign you get is from your friends or loved ones and yet, a deaf ear is turned most of da time. I dont want him, my friend, to fall as a victim like my gandfather. Not him, not my other close friends. That's why I tell myself I'll never pick up a cigarette ever. Thing is, my friend is going through a difficult period. I guess smoking is supposed to help him feel better. But what am I suppose to say? It's his outlet to feel better. I cant stop him. What else can I do but be really honest and show him that as a friend, I care? I didnt have to likelike him enough to be concerned (or rather simply put, this friendship is purely plationic) but I just feel concerned just as a friend because I feel he is just that good a person and he doesnt deserve to be a victim. I used to not say how I feel because I thought I'd respect that person's decision to do whatever he wants even if it's wrong. But I thought I'd open up a bit and give a bit of my thoughts and feelings in hopes that I may someway or somehow influence his decision even if I'm just a friend.

And I am not the only one with this issue. I feel you, Sister. I certainly dont feel sad as often as you do, but I got the taste of how you feel and it's truly upsetting.

Alright enough of this emo talk. Tomorrow Reg and I will be going to join the juniors for training at Mt Faber (: Havent bowled for.. 5 months? Haha gosh I think I'm so gna be a noob la. Seriously. Bet I wont have a roll, fingers may be too small for the finger holes, bowling balls will feel damn friggin' heavy, stamina will suck like hell, may prolly drop the ball during a swing.. But what the heck! I miss bowling. It was my passion, I loved it. I loved competing. I love the atmosphere-the hunger to win, the glory, the meeting of expectations, the adrenaline rush. I seriously have to thank the supporters from a rival school for giving me the drive (by provoking us and making me so fucking mad and I swore that I would beat them and let them eat our friggin' dust) which was most effectively channelled to me and my doubles' partner to win which was clear from our beating them HA! <-- gotta make it damn big man. It's really like a smack right in their faces, though I'd really like to thank them for that. Ha.

I miss the bowling attire too ): And Uncle Adam! And being with my teammates!

Watching Enchanted with Reg and the juniors after training (: Watched Hitman just now, twas great, I give it 4 stars out of 5! I loved Hitman himself. Haha. Omg he's absolutely charming. I am so sure we CANNOT find such a guy out there man. He's so restrained yet sexy at the same time. Lol. And innocent! Gosh I want him to be my man. Hahahahaha (what's with the thing with me and bald guys. Ami James!) Though erm, the tranquilising part is a tad bit too much. Hahahaha. We should send all the boys in this world somewhere else before they meet girls man! At first I thought the lead actor was Santiago Munez in Goal and Goal 2. Lols. Turned out theyre two different actors.

Okay gonna turn in now. Ive enough emo for today.

2007-11-21T13:31:00.000+08:00

It's Britney, Bitch!

It's sad that she's not doing much to promote or market her album, but I still like her songs. Haha. Right Regina? I'm still head-bobbing to Gimme More. HAHA. Piece of Me, Radar, Break The Ice and Freakshow are also worthy tracks (:

Haiyo I cant seem to find another blogskin. I think I mentioned before eons ago that it's like searching for a house. Haha. It's tiring! Got so many emo ones like, 'WITHOUT YOU ):', 'SHATTERED', 'PINK! OMG MY FAV COLOUR!' (alright the last one is a lie haha). What about not-so-emo ppl like me? I guess I'll have to search on. Haha.

ANYWAYS! Tonight gonna mambo with my class! Not everyone, but I think this will be one of the more successful class outings with a substantial turnout. Haha. It'll be so cute to see them all dancing other than the High School Musical dance last year. LOL. And I feel like a mamasan cos Jade was like, 'Ya for noobs like us lucky we got Zen'. Haha. Cos they havent been to mambo before. Omg cant wait. Everyone will look hot and with the company and music! Whooooooo! Time to celebrate our surviving the A's!

Got all my prom stuff already, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for me, Reg and Krystal. Cos we got our dresses from rather popular stores like Forever 21 and Warehouse so hopefully nobody buys the same dresses as we did. In case that happens (but I'm slapping every wooden object now), Reg says the trick is to not run away to hide, but walk right up to that girl with the same dress as yours and go, 'Hey! We've got great taste!' and snap away. Turn the potential-embarrassing situation to a lighthearted one. You wldnt wna ruin your night just cos some other person's wearing the same dress as you. So yep. I'm praying though!

Don't stop and let it flow 
Let your inhibitions go 
It's crazy now 
Let's make them make a freakshow.
- Freakshow by Britney Spears.

2007-11-16T00:41:00.000+08:00

A LEVELS ARE FINALLY, OFFICIALLY OVER!

Omg that took 2 years! I really cant believe it's all over. Junior college is DONE WITH. I'm once again, institution-less. Haha. In the bus on the way home I was like, eh, didnt I feel like this after my O Levels? Hell yeah! It feels great to know that Ive 9 months of pure freedom but I dont ever want March/April to come! I think I'd prolly throw up before collecting my results. Human Geog was pretty screwed up :S I think my A Levels results would be all Cs at best, with maybemaybepleaseplease a B for Math. We shall see I guess. AH!

Ive graduated (:

Time to havoc man. Haha. Gonna be that rebellious child I was when I was in Sec 3. Gonna dye my hair :D Haha last time was rather lianish I gotta admit, twas brown-close-to-blonde. LOL. I liked my hair then though. Gave me lotsa trouble haha. Other than that, gonna party! Cant wait to Mambo with my classmates and hang in Phuture for a while, while at Zouk heh (: Cant wait for nice mooozik from Andrew Chow!

Okay other than all these, gna catch up with my secondary school classmates aka Zen Tribe (: Charlene Tay's leaving us on Christmas Eve to America for a few years ))))))): I'm gonna miss her sososo much ): Gna just stone, relax, chill, get my life back. Haha. Krystal, Mumtaz and I didnt know how our life was like before we were swimming in our notes. Haha. Truth to be told I played so much in JC la. Maybe til June (x But other than that life had been rather studious with the block tests, prelims and A Levels. Studying with the bowlers have made our lives more notes-oriented, but at the same time made me feel more closer to them in the homely way. Like if you happen to egest/dig your nose nobody will care. Hahaha. I love them la. I left SA in a good note with them (: I dont care though I refuse to say Ive left these people (:

Maybe gonna work with Reg at a bar at Siglap. Haha. We're still in discussion over that.

A'S ARE OVER! I can finally stone without feeling guilty about it (:

2007-07-30T23:22:00.000+08:00

Yknow when youve got a whole album of songs by a certain artiste, you tend to listen to the songs which are released as singles cos they sound familiar, then as you play and re-play the songs until you feel like, "OKAY sian, next song please", or you just leave your music player on and let the songs run and you do that the next day and the next.. And you tend to discover some other unreleased nice songs from an album? Yes that's my case. The title track off FutureSex/LoveSounds by Justin Timberlake has rubbed off on me. Haha. Though the lyrics are somewhat erm, suggestive, the beat is nice (:

Ah SLEEP is a luxury good right now. Be it naps or a night's rest. Every second of shut-eye costs time (in this case, personal study time minus tutorials and school). Been spending time on tutorials and extra lessons there's hardly personal study time left and they tend to eat into sleep time ): But rest time is very very important to me. Guess that explains that I will fall dead asleep wherever I am by like 4am especially during chalets. Kinda offended Reg and made her all peeved a few times already in all the chalets/stayovers we had together cos we'll all be having a late night chat and I'll be three-quarters asleep at like 3am or so and yet will be denying it and by 4 I would have turned into a human log. Haha.

Ponned Phy Geog extra lecture today cos I felt like a walking zombie. Went home and went to lalaland for 2 and a half hours of blissful rest (: At times I feel mentally awake but just physically tired but this time felt both mentally AND physically tired. Plus I havent finished Deathly Hallows yet! Haha. Been desperately reading the few chapters whenever I'm free, and most of the time is before bed time. So I guess that contributes to the fatigue as well -.-"

YAY! Popular had stocks for the worked solutions book for each Math topic (: (: (: Loved my A Math worked solutions book during O Levels. Haha. Dunno how to do question, refer to WORKED answer, do again without referring to the answer. Do whole book once before Prelims and another time before finals. During A's Math questions should look familiar and answering them will be less of a gale (okay breezy, but I dont have the confidence to say breezy cos I havent passed any Math major exam since J1 -.-").

Theyre all practically replicas of one another :S

2007-07-29T23:14:00.000+08:00

:D Justin Timberlake's FutureSex/LoveSounds album is the bombbb! I'm a bit late on that, I know. But I'm still enjoying it nonetheless :D

I forgot what I wanted to blog about right after I turned on my Winamp to Fergie. Lol. Grr annoying :P No wonder when I have stuff to tell Reg the next day in the bus ride to school I have to mentally form an acronym to the titles of stuff which I'd wna tell her, like 'A' for me getting an A in Math. Okay that was a bad example because it's more like wishful thinking. Lol. But yeah something like that.

Celebrated Shuneng's birthday on Friday with the KCMSH gang at Suntec over dinner, minus Ryan. Took lotsa retarded photos, will post a few up when I get them. Haha. Went to NYDC, surprised Shu with a cake and sang (in different volume variations thanks to the guys even though theyre paiseh and wanted to sing softly). Lol. We shared a Calvin Klein underwear pressie for her. Quite an appropriate gift for an 18 year old huh! (x

Saturday had team lunch at Suki Sushi, CineLeisure. Stuffed ourselves man! Reg and I practically spammed the menu (took advantage cos twas a buffet) and when WeiKang sat himself down at our table he spammed the cream puffs. Omg haha I think at our table alone we spammed 12 plates of cream puffs with 4 cream puffs on EACH plate :X Luckily we had Trish and JunYi who helped us as well! Lol. Caught The Simpsons after that! Twas damn funny, though I felt quite tired during the movie. Couldnt conjure enough energy to laugh. Haha how loserish is that -.-" After which Glenn and I joined YewLiang and Joel at Paradiz McD's to study till dinnertime. I scooted off cos Joel was spoiling Deathly Hallows for everybody -.-" Haha poor YewLiang, who was reading at the seat diagonally across Joel. I'm only halfway through! Dont want it to end ):

Had tuition just now and had Thai Express for dinner at PS with mum :D Phat Thai Talay is my fav dish there omg :D But eating it by yourself is quite jelat. Yes, I understand the meaning of good things things coming in small packages. Haha.

I need to discipline myself, seriously. Managed to sort out all my notes of all 5 subjects including GP into rings according to topics :D Spent 2hours and a half doing that. Towards the end my eyes were damn blur but am glad I got everything more or less sorted out!

Still, ZEN, PLEASE DISCIPLINE YOURSELF.

2007-07-26T23:07:00.000+08:00

We finally got our hands on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows! It's like, top priority in all of our To-Do lists to finish reading it before others do cos there are high chances of them letting slip who dies which is plain annoying to be very honest ): I'll mentally strangle those who do and theyll probably feel it through my eyes.

Violent? Excuse me. This is Harry Potter we're talking about.

My bro is like, three quarters through the book already!!!

Ooh today's English Calligraphy course during Learning Fest was really cool :D We got to keep the $3 calligraphy pen and learned the Italics and Uncial fonts, with the latter being the font for the Lord of the Rings movie title. Cool huh! I am in love with old English handwritings. Theyve got this romantic, elaborate, elegant and sophisticated feeling when your eyes glaze over the fonts. I like (: Wish the ball point pen wasnt invented yet, then we all can write with cool fountain pens. Style sia. Haha. Ah! Wish I signed up for sports courses cos everyone seemed like they had a lot of fun, sweated it out and DID SOME SPORTING ACTIVITIES IN THE MIDST OF EXAMS! Whoa I feel breathless after climbing up the overbridge of the PIE to cross over to SAV. Wanted to sign up for Contact Rugby and dance lessons! But nobody to go with me. Deb cant do sports and Krystal doesnt want. Shouldve joined Jade at rugby but Deb was nice enough to help me sign up for the courses when I was sick.

Okay I'd better get a headstart on Human Geog and prepare GP and read Deathly Hallows. And to bathe!

Cant wait for tmr and Sat! Gonna catch up with old friends and the team over dinner and lunch respectively (:

2007-07-12T23:01:00.000+08:00

If I could take back that $400+ worth of A Levels papers I have to take at the end of this year, I'll seriously consider doing that. Cos I havent scored anything higher than a D for any of my H2s. Highest grade Ive ever gotten is a B in H1 Chinese during Common Test last year. Lolsxsxsx. My luck in Chinese has been good. Though I got an S for A Levels for Chinese, at least my ass is saved cos any lower, I'd have to take more Chinese courses in Uni (IF I ever do manage to enter one) in which I'd rather learn Afghanistan.

I'm simply not ready for A Levels larh 5FT.

Okay shant wallow in depression anymore cos like Deb said, life's not all about studies. Haha.

Our class has somehow redeemed herself - we're currently first in the NAPFA Challenge. LOLS. Evan the councillor was announcing the current results and though our class was told that we stand a good chance to win, we still didnt hold much hope. "Confirm some science class la", was what WeiLing said I think. And lo and behold, next thing we knew, "..and currently in first place is oh-six-aye-two". We all gasped (yes GASPED) and stared at each other in amazment. Haha. Miss Seow's face was literally RED from laughing cos she couldnt believe it either! Hahaha. I think the guys are gna try for Gold cos a few of them have Silvers instead to up our chances so that we'd be uh, unbeatable. Lol. I am utterly shocked still. $30 EACH PERSON leh! Woweee. Can buy Rapture dress. Hahaha. Of course, NAPFA Challenge would still be on and a dress doesnt cost just $30 so I guess that'll go into my savings for a holiday at the end of the year.

Watching Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix tomorrow with Deb & Krystal at Lido after school! :D Deb helped us book tix on Monday. Lol. We're so very excited, see. Hahaha. Krystal's 'fault'. She kept whining that we had to watch with her so Deb didnt watch with Michelle they all on Wednesday to watch with us. Lol. Yes am very excited for the movie and the 7th book! Many deaths, I heard :S Still in a dilemma whether to pre-order it from Popular or with our uncle who works in NUS Co-Op. Mum says that he can probably get it cheaper for us but dunno by how much. Plus we'd probably wna read it on the day the book's released. If I could I'd wna stuff earplugs into my ears to protect it from hearing about who died in the book cos I'd wna read it for myself. See no evil, hear no evil. Lol.

Okay time to do some work. Building on my Econs essay library :D Cos we're doing lots of essay qstns during Econs tuts now, Ms Wong gives us the points so I'd write them down in essay-format. Kills two birds with one stone - I (hopefully) will be able to remember it better and will be able to refer to it when I'm revising that topic before Prelims and A's.

I cant face my Math tutor again this Sat. Ugh. I wldnt blame him if he decides to drop me cos I really think I'm the black sheep out of all the students he has. Like, it's okay I'm fine going back to mah ghetto. What if I got a U again the next time around? All the efforts will be wasted anyway. Gotta stop procrastinating and practise more.

2007-07-11T23:53:00.000+08:00

I think I may be up for another triple U for BT2. Econs was a major screw-up despite it being the subject I studied the hardest for. At this point in time I am really at a loss for words with my academics. They werent kidding when they said that O Levels is a walk in the park compared to a 10k run of A Levels.

What to do, we already paid for our A Level exams.

5FT!

I gotta prepare myself for a bad Geog grade. A fail perhaps. I'd be psychologically contented with an S. So please, gimme an S or.. I dunno la. I feel so utterly hopeless in my studies right now. After receiving Econs we went to the caf for lunch and I got a cup of Milo - took a plastic cup, dispensed the Milo in it, stuck a red straw into the Milo, and walked back to the table where my class was. Yes, without paying. Or at least that's what I think. Haha. I feel like I had short-term memory loss there. I must be a nut. I didnt realise until after I drank a quarter of the Milo (or I was just plain forgetful if I did actually paid for it but I simply just cant remember). Oh God save me.

2007-07-10T23:59:00.000+08:00

Wow. So many things happened in a short space of time. And I have not told Regina anything yet! We didnt go to school tgt for just 2 days and it feels like an eternity. Haha. I sound like some obsessive ~~girl~~bestfriend. Lol. I tell her almost everything so it feels quite odd to not have filled her in and this weight on my chest and shoulders need to fall on her ears already! Haha. 'Cept that her ears wont droop from the weight of course. Girl please try to be in the bus tmr! (:

I think Ive done quite a lot of shopping. Yesterday Cali told me about her new online biz selling really cheap and pretty accessories (GIRLS PLEASE GO CHECK IT OUT - http://community.livejournal.com/theshopaddict) and I ordered 3 pairs of earstuds immediately. Hoho. But they were for a steal - at $5 :D How cheap is that? I just need to pay 50cents more for postage fee. And today, went Bugis Village with mum for dinner, durians and shopping :D Had a really nice time out with mum (: I was telling her when we passed by this shop playing those songs with the raggaeton beat (think 'Gasolina') in them that those songs are what Phuture and Smoove usually plays.

Mum was like, "Eh! This kind of songs I like! Next time must follow you. Are you going next week (meaning Wednesday)?"

Hahahaha. I almost died.

"Ma, Ive got school next Thursday!" was my shocked reply.

Lols. Then told her that we may go after Rapture and she said that she'd most likely come along. WHOA. My mum rocks socks. Haha. We shopped somemore and she bought me a pair of those one strap sort of Birks. But theyre the Scott brand but heck it. Birks are way too ex. Then we shopped somemore cos she wanted to find "mini-skirts" (quoted directly from mum) but we didnt in the end. We went into this shop and saw this pair of shorts in black and white. I tried the white while I persuaded her to try the black one cos she didnt know if she will look okay in shorts. In the end I succeeded and she looked good in it but she didnt want to buy it in the end ): She asked if I wanted the white one and I was halfhearted cos it's not cheap for a pair of Bugis Village shorts at $32.90. But she bought for me anyway (:

Gosh I love my mum (:

I went to cut my hair this afternoon cos my fringe was starting to irritate my eyes and it was way too long. Haha. Cut a slightly different style in the end with slightly shorter hair in front and long at the back. I think I look quite gong with the shorter fringe. Haha. Yknow when your fringe is really short and you feel like a coconut head? Yeah I kinda have that feeling right now. Haha. Oh well! I guess it'll grow out soon.

Wow I'm starting to actually find lessons more tolerable and I dont actually mind them that much anymore. Haha. See what A Levels have done to J2s? I dont mind being labelled a nerd. It's a compliment actually :D

Aight time to catch up with good ol' sleep (:

2007-07-07T22:09:00.000+08:00

PICCHAS!

Waiting for the train to take us to Clarke Quay; in light of Live Earth, TAKE PUBLIC TRANSPORT! Heh. Saves money and lessens pollution!

At The Arena; Nicole & I (: (Before feeling woozy)

Still at The Arena; with Reg (the drink that started the wooziness!)

Outside MOS! Queueing up.

Camwhoring at the MOS toilet. Haha.

The toilet's got nice lighting.
We three!
In da lift on the way to Gotham!

Shopping at River Island before going for College Day with Deb and Krystal. Oops I snapped too fast.

Trying out the longsleeved top at home before the day itself - I look so nerdy la. Haha.

The day itself! Me, Clara & Reg with our SAJC Colours Awards plaque & cert! :D

2007-07-06T11:58:00.000+08:00

I AM ADDICTED TO HOLLER BY SPICE GIRLS.

Hahaha.

AND I FOUND A NEW IDOL IN VICTORIA BECKHAM.

Hahahahahaha.

After hearing about their reunion, my bro went to download all 3 of their albums. So they were downloaded and I played them and the nostalgic moments of listening to Spice Girls just overcame me. Hahaha. Love em and miss em! Wish they came to Singapore. *sniffs*

Wednesday was indeed a blast with the girls, Nicole and Reg (: We didnt go to Zouk, we went to club-hop in Clarke Quay instead and we went to 5 clubs in total. Lol. It's indeed a privilege to be a lady. We didnt pay a single cent to go into all 5 clubs heh :D The best club we went to that night which I reckon was MOS cos the Smoove room was playing R&B :D Love da music mannn. Haha. We stayed there the longest. The cage concept was quite cool. Heh. Twas really fun when the whole club just sang to the chorus of songs like "I Wanna F*** You". Haha. It's the singing in unison and finding the song funny that's fun (okay my vocab sucks). Smoove something like Phuture in Zouk, but I still think Andrew Chow, dubbed the best DJ in Singapore, is still better. His song transitions are much better and so are his song selections. We went to Atticus Too as well, which played nice random songs from Deja Vu (Beyonce) to some Jamaican song haha. Guess it catered to the Caucasian hippie (and maybe not so hippie) crowd. The funniest DJs have got to be those from Atticus Too. Lol. When they played "Umbrella" by Rihanna, the 2 DJs were swaying to the music with an open umbrella over their heads! Haha! Oh we saw a Harry Potter lookalike in Atticus Too! An older version of course. Lol. He looked like a damn hot Harry Potter who went to work in some office. Hahaha. The best toilet is gna be at MOS as well. Lol. Huge and the lighting is NICE. Ahaha. Will post up some photos to prove that point. Best crowd is at Atticus Too! The people are are diverse man. Youd think youre celebrating Racial Harmony Day with the world. Theyre all really friendly. Not those lecher types. Haha. Yeah seriously.

I seriously need to work on my alcohol tolerance! Haha as if I can work on it. Lol. I dunno can you? I drank one and a half cups of vodka and I'm sagh already! Reg and Nicole were fine and I was like shit man. Hahaha. Warren says we've got healthy livers. Lol I hope.

Yesterday was College Day :D Reg, Anuaar, Leonard, Clara, HoYun, YewLiang, Edwin and I got the Colours Awards for Bowling :D Got a plaque and a cert. Wheee. My mum and bro came :D We went to watch Die Hard 4.0 after that. Haha. Not too bad. But Maggie Q was so.. plastic leh. She didnt really move about that much. And I dunno why, as long as youre a little bit Asian, you gotta do some kungfu once youre casted. And she just acted pretty. Haha. She is la.

Okay gtg get ready for YOGA with Reg, her mum, her sis and her sis' friend. Haha. It's a trial lesson, so gna see how it is. Haha.

~~Will upload picchas soon!~~ UPLOADED! (:

If you havent heard Holler by Spice Girls for a long time, GO! Heh.

2007-07-03T16:34:00.000+08:00

Hello Miss MIA is back again. Haha. I got the 'Blog Sting'. Y'know those kinds when you are urged to blog after reading other people's & discovered what a lazy ass you are. Haha.

BT2 is OVER! CHEERIOS! :D Hopefully I wouldnt get too bad a set of results a la BT1. Oh gawd it was mega sucky considering I was last in class & after a quick survey across the bowling team I was last as well at 10 Rank Points with a triple U! No more! Hopefully so.. Today's Stats paper was the paper which made me feel slightly more confident of a pass. Not the whole of the Math subject though, but only Stats. Haha. My tuition group was practically DRILLED in the Binomial, Poisson (rightfully pronounced pua-zonc courtesy of Warren who checked it out) and Normal Distributions after yesterday's 5hour-long tuition! Other than the Stats paper hopefully I'll be able to get at least two other Es at least from Econs and Geog. Then I'll be quiteee safe. I hope! (Hope is so overused haha aiyo that's the only thing I can feel now for BT2.) Certainly gotta work even harder for Prelims and A's.

Hmm quite a few bowlers are 'retiring' from bowling which I find quite wasted & also sad-Yew Liang, Glenn and Nicholas Tong. Havent spoken to all the girls yet so not so sure about that camp. Even now I miss bowling so much. Reg is still bowling for Interclub and bowling well (: I think I'm absorbing (OH) molecules as each day passes. Haha. I'm rusting. After A Levels may prolly be all rusted that I may crumble. Haha. I certainly hope not leh. I still wna try out for COE next year and bowl somemore. I cant bear to leave my 4 bowling balls at one corner collecting dust. Hahaha. Nor can I bear to sell them away. But it may be a good thing to come back to bowling a little rusty, losing all the bad habits I used to have and starting anew. But I hate that feeling when your thumb doesnt fit nicely into the thumbhole like it used to and the ball feels like a thousand pounds in your hand after a hiatus. I've loved & been bowling since Sec 1 & I think it wont go away anytime soon. Will probably go crash the juniors' training at Safra Mt Faber this weekend hehe. I hope I wont be that rusty after one month of zero bowling!

Okay let's see what happened the past week. Hmm I sprained my ankle. Haha. It's much better now. Luckily it wasnt a bad sprain. I was careless enough to miss one step at Kallang MRT -.-" Luckily Trish was there! Held on to her hand for like a full minute after my ankle landed on it's side after I missed that dreadful last step cos was in total shock trying to figure out if my ankle was really sprained/fractured/okay. Haha. There was this searing pain around the ankle area for awhile only so it wasnt so bad. We were going to the National Stadium for its closing ceremony so not so bad cos we sat almost all the way. Skipped the LightsOut party cos of my ankle & cos Brandon and Trish were going back as well, so followed them. Had a nice long chat with them while walking to Kallang McD's for dinner & back home. Haha. Realised that I will definitely miss my juniors omggggggg. Sigh. I hope the new captains will lead the team to another victory next year & organise those bonding camps which are up to standard (ahem! haha) (: Had many great reviews about our KL teambonding camp last March :D I'm really really happy that they found it really fun :D A lot of effort leh! Haha okay shant be boastful heh.

Whoa I think I digressed to China haha okay back to what happened last week.

Hmm honestly nothing much happened. Haha. I stopped after the last paragraph for a minute & was like, eh! Nothing leh! Haha.

Okay I finally found my pair of court shoes from Mindy's bandmate Dorothy (though I'm not sure who she is! But I gotta thank her for lending me her shoes!) for the SAJC Colours Award rehearsal tmr. She got me a size 7 from someone else but I couldnt fit -.-" My feet are damn big la. Haha aiyo. Paris Hilton size sia. So got a size 10 from Dorothy. I think can fit la, from a 7 to a 10. Haha. Else I can stuff tissue in front. Then borrowed a longsleeved blouse from Mindy. It's the band's one also. Hahaha. Budden not to insult the band in any way, me and Reg agreed that we look retarded with the blouse and super high and long school skirt :S The blouse has a pocket at the left side so it looked a little odd. Haha. No offense at all to band again! It's the blouse and the event that it's worn for, not band. Guess we shant complain too much since we didnt bother to go spend money to buy one which we prefer. Aiyo. Somemore no blazer leh. It's not prestigious enough I guess. Oh wells. Haha. Yay mummy is coming! :D She said that since it's my last year in school she'll come. I really really appreciate her support for me in bowling this year, seeing me through my ups and downs (:

Oooh event-packed day tmr! :D In the morning will be going to Krystal's mum's shop to beautify ourselves. Hahaha. Aiyo so vain right. Haha. But really, there wasnt much grooming time prior to BT2 and during BT2. Heh. I'm gna go pluck my eyebrows while Deb's gna wax while Boon's gna do facial I think. Then we'll be heading to Vivo to SHOP & LUNCH! WOOHOO! Omg :D Haha. Gna get a top for later tmr night's chionging. Heh. This time we'll head straight to Phuture! Andrew Chow's spinning :D Love the R&B tunes (: Aiyo I sound hiaolok, as Reg would describe us. Haha. Aiya. Just wna chill for a night after BT.

Okay that was a long post! Haha. I think I did this entry justice! Hehe. Time to O2Jam!

2007-06-26T01:51:00.001+08:00

I GOT THE SHIRT! :D

(refer to about previous 3 posts) :D

It's a long shirt. Those kinds which you wont zhao geng (expose underwear) in when you sit or squat :D Yay I like! It's my first online shopping buy heh.

Lit BT2 is over. Whew. Econs Case Study is over as well. Having the Econs feel yay. Haha cheerio. This augurs well for A Levels yes (: Somehow for Geog I'm faltering.. For Human Geog especially. In secondary school Elective Geog was my pet subject alongside Social Studies. I actually liked both subjects very much (please dont laugh!). Then I came to JC and I actually feel a little complacent (disillusioned I am) about Human Geog and well, the learning experience didnt help. I didnt have that 'pet subject' feeling at all. Or for any subject in JC ): Sigh. Okay I shall choose one now then and hope to work on it - Econs! I think it's the only subject I actually went through in detail and am starting to appreciate it. So hopefully yes?

Ms Seow is our new Civics Tutor now (: I hold much hope that we will have a great 5 months with her (: Saw Mr Khoo and Mr Leong (our PE and Physical Geog tutors respectively) today at Cafe BB and we anxiously asked them if they knew who our new CT was. Mr Khoo was like, "How come everyone keep asking me?" and laughed. Haha. While Mr Leong was like, "dont worry. Your new Civics Tutor will be Miss Seow" and like comforted us cos we seemed like lost sheep being CT-less. Heh.

Today during assembly I actually felt like I will miss SAJC, my class and my team when we graduate. I know it's half a year too early to feel this way but feelings somehow prematurely come to me. It's somehow a good thing cos I will anticipate the worse/best you know? But sometimes it's scary..

I hate expectations when I myself know in the back of my mind and am already anticipating that I will not do well for something. It just makes the disappointment much worse if I really do not do well. That's why I dont think it's really a good thing after all. Ben (my Math tuition teacher) expects a B for my Math. I am seriously doubting it. Rah! But I will definitely try my best of course.

I dont want to get 10 Rank Points again.

Had roti prata at Simpang Bedok with Charlene, Wenxin and Reg last Thursday (: Twas nice catching up with them. I miss the Zen Tribe very much. Those Starbucks days and outings (:

2007-06-20T00:28:00.000+08:00

Looking at my topics to-do list, I dont think I can finish studying everything before BT2 ): Sailed through Microeconomics last week but guess what? I cant remember the blardie points and I was panicking when looking at the A Level questions in the TYS. Can somebody slap me please?! Yes and get a worse case of amnesia like what Anuaar and Darryl said. I can then forget everything I studied and go poly to do Tourism. If I do remember that. Haha. And plus I've already bowled my share in (SA)JC :D

RAH! ):

Secondly, I miss bowling terribly ): Though it's only been slightly more than 2 weeks, I feel so detached already and I feel like I've left the sport ): ): ): ): ): I miss trainings and competitions sooooooooooo much! I feel like I cant 'retire' from it. I just cant. Especially with the bowlers around me. When Reg and Clara mention about their interclub leagues, and in Clara's case many other trainings and Calvin's COE and all that.. ARGH! If I had an extra day just for me without the thought of exams or whatsoever I'd head straight down to Safra Yishun and just BOWL. OMG. RAH! I wish I was in a club. I wish I tried out for COE. Next year!!!!!!!

My mum's got curls. Haha so cute right. She initially wanted to cut her hair really short, something like the Victoria Beckham haircut (think I managed to convince her to cut that, cos initially she wanted to cut a simple short style. Haha) but the hairstylist managed to convince her to keep her long hair and curl/perm it. So she's got both small and big curls now.

Victoria Beckham's new haircut:

She's such a hot mum la. Even after giving birth to 3 boys. *envy envy* Lol.

I think Lisa Roughead's hairstyle's nice during her wedding to Michael Carrick (a Manchester United footie player) (:

Okay I shant indulge in vain matters now. Gotta finish reading Antony & Cleopatra and Pride & Prejudice by the end of this week. Wish me luck.

2007-06-09T01:07:00.000+08:00

Hmm this post is supposed to be for 8th June. But I'm blogging it on 9th of June, Saturday. It's been the same for my last few posts, so bear with me if the date and entries dont exactly match!

Anyhows, since this post is on the 9th of June, would like to post a shoutout to one of my class besties; HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY, DEBORAH NG LOVE! (: (: (: A year closer to motherhood (: Haha.

Okay so today (Friday), I bought $17.50 worth of Meiji products at the factory outlet :D Altogether, I bought 5 bitter chocolate-coated almond chocolates for $2.50 (since the expiry date is at the end of June), a carton of 10 small packets of lemon-cola gummies for only a dollar-plus (expiry date also at the end of June), 6 Hello Panda boxes where each went for only 84cents and somemore random chocolates for a dollarplus to three bucks each :D :D Reg bought $25 worth. Haha they were really really cheap! All thanks to Nicole who intro-ed us the place! :D

So Reg & I studied at Kallang McD's again after that with Anuaar & Darryl. Gave Darryl $1 worth of chocolates, which consisted of 2 Frans (similar to Pockey. They were 20cents each), the bitter chocolate-coated almond chocs (50cents each) and a lemon-cola packet (about 10cents). Hahaha. We practically had Meiji chocs for dinner. Literally, I did. Heh. Had too much fast food (McD's esp!) these few days ):

Come support Habitat for Humanity's attempt in the Guiness World Record in building the world's largest Marigold tetra-pak display house in VivoCity's The Plaza (first floor) tmr for charity! (: Our team's going to build about 300odd tetra-paks there cos we raised some money for HH. Our tetra-pak bricks will have the SAJC logo on it :D Cool right! Hope it'd be fun.

Feelin' You - Jesse McCartney.

2007-06-08T02:03:00.000+08:00

Listening to: Over My Head - The Fray.

It's 2am in the morning! Just got back nearly an hour ago from Pirates of the Caribbean. It's niceeeee! So sweet. Sad as well. Keira Knightley's complexion was to die for! She was so hot in the movie la. As well as Orlando Bloom. Ah! Everyone kept saying it's boring and that it's got a confusing plot. I thought that it wasnt that clear-cut but managed to follow the storyline. So yay! (: MUSTWATCH! The CGI was great as well (:

Going to the Meiji chocolate factory outlet with Reg, Nicole and some of her friends tmr (: Heard that the chocs there are cheapcheeeeeeap! So will go and take a look. Haha. After which it's time to mug again. Shiat man. I couldnt do Binomial and Poisson Distribution in the BT2 Revision ws even after tuition today ): Kept getting stuck and I am so frustrated that I couldnt be bothered to do it anymore. Hurrumph. Will try to continue tmr with a different mood, I hope. Hah.

I'm scared of falling again ):

2007-06-04T21:38:00.000+08:00

I miss bowling already ): Although it was only 3 days ago since I last bowled. Sighs. Wanted to try out for COE but the 10points I scored for BT1 and the prospect of doing decently for A Levels plagued the thought ): Cos I know if I continue bowling, I'll put it before studies. Heh. I really hope that my bowling 'career' doesnt end here.

Baked an Oreo Cheesecake with Regina for David's birthday on Friday. Haha. We succeeded! :D Nobody complained of diarrhea. Haha. Borrowed Hongliang's kitchen for that since both of us didnt have a baking oven. Heh. Twas quite fun :D Yea baking rocks :D Went to Shenton Way's KTV Party World after watching the NAG Masters to celebrate. KTV that time was really funny man. Haha. Helmi and David were both gasah-ing to Pump It by Black Eyed Peas at the end and this is how they sang the chorus:

David: Pump it!
Helmi: HARDER!
David: PUMP IT!
Helmi: HARDER!
David: PUMP ITTTTTTTTTT!

Lols. Damn funneh larh. Then somemore David sang this damn emo Zhang Xue You song and all of us were damn amazed by his singing la. Haha. Happy Birthday, David! Twas indeed a damn fun celebration :D

Had lunch with Mum before going to McCafe to study with Jocelyn on Saturday. Went to support Reg at Interclub after that at SGCC. She bowled damn well, I think thrashed all the guys in her club :D Lols. Clara, Helmi, Reg and I then drove to PS to catch the 11.30pm Shrek 3 show with the rest of the bowlers. Haha twas a quite funny movie, budden half of us fell asleep at some parts since it was quite late already. I stayed up for the whole movie but didnt have the energy to laugh so during the funny parts I was just.. smiling. The "ha"s didnt manage to be continuous. Haha. Just felt damn tired!

Yesterday went Victor's to attempt to study with Clara while Helmi, Darryl, Leonard and Anuaar played mj. Haha okay la, managed to annotate two poems and an Econs essay outline (omg I sound so darn boring lol). Spent the rest of the evening looking at the hundreds of photos Uncle Paul took during last year's bowling camp, teambonding camps, KL Milo photos etc. Twas damn hilarious. Like when Hoyun dyed his hair brown, Yiquan and David having the same haircut when they were in J1, how different Nicole looks now since last year, etc. Lol. (No offense!)

Today went to Kallang's 24-hour McD's to study with Krystal and Deb. Clara and Helmi came too, before going off for Combined Schs training. Glenn, Darryl and Yewliang came to join us too. Wheee I think it's quite a conducive place to study from now till A Levels (: I need one! Like MPCC's Starbucks during my O's (I'm still sad that it closed down ): )

Started the studying drive already yay! Am not exactly dreading extra lessons in school now. Haha. Yes I'm turning into a nerd (: Which is a good sign haha. I need to concentrate on my academics after so much bowling. Oh yes I got the School Colours Award!!! Wheeee am so very happy :D Reg and Clara got it too :D Too bad me and Reg cant get the East Zone Colours cos our achievements werent 2 years consecutive. Oh wells! Cant ask for too much. Haha.

Have done some impulse shopping. Haha. Or the lack of shopping but just buying them on impulse. This is one of them:

Interpretive Dancing top from Threadless.com! They were having a sale. Paying S$18 for one.

Bought a big clear black tote bag today at a discount at $30. This was super impulsive cos Deb and I saw Krystal with it this morning at McD's, but the white version. Haha. Krystal's mum's was saying that there's the gold and black one as well, and Deb bought the gold while I bought the black. Lol. Omg it's the bimbo-est bag I got. Hahaha. Will put up the pic soon! Krystal's bugging us to all carry that bag tmr and take pics with them. Lol. Skipped dinner out with the bowlers today to save money by eating at home -.-" Still wna get a dress! (x

Okie time to go do work! Ta!

2007-05-31T01:54:00.000+08:00

Listening to Dark Blue by Jack's Mannequin now. Love it! :D Thanks, Donna, for sending me the song! Heard it over the radio a few times but Ive never caught the title/artist. So woooooooooot!

Ah ah ahhhhh! Those are the exact words that my scores are screaming out. Bowled like crap todaye )))): I think I bowled a 130+ average. Yucks. I think Ive plummetted down from the overall rankings. KNS la. The same thing happened the last time I joined NAG. Hopefully tmr's Team Event wont be that bad and that me and Reg will be in Masters. Hopefully (more for my case)!

Sigh. Today is just an odd day overall. Leaning towards the bad side but it's not exactly.. bad. I just feel weird.

Felt so effing guilty this afternoon ): Went for lunch with Mummy at our house downstairs' kopitiam but what was busy Zen doing? Busying herself with the handphone, settling some stuff for CIP (which I think I failed to make it successful since I was the sole person doing everything ): ). I walked to the kopitiam with her, tiak-tiak-tiaking away on my phone. Not only that, but when I was waiting, when I the food arrived, when Mum was trying to speak to me. ARGH. I feel like an ungrateful daughter ): When the Indian stallholder came over to talk to my Mum, she was lamenting to him how her son is going to school for choir practice while her daughter is going bowling and the house is empty with her only ): Sigh. I feel so guilty. Esp with me who is desperately trying to settle the CIP.

And other stuffs including bowling. Sigh.

Felt like puking before bowling, I dont know why. Went to the toilet to try to puke to feel better after much persuasion from Reg and Clara, but after gagging like 6 or 7 times nothing came out (or rather I was also kind of hesitant to really vomit, cos I hate the aftermath of tears + feeling physically weak + dehydrated). Bought plum candy to suppress the feeling instead.

Had little perks here and there today though, but the main perk of the day is (LO AND BEHOLD!) Lit extra lesson. CHING CHONG CHING CHONG! DONG DONG CHIANG (no I quite dislike the Chinese opera-esque stuff but yeah it emphasises on the irony there)! Haha. I think I'm starting to like doing Pride and Prejudice (or P&P, which we dearly name in really short form). When Ms K was lecturing, my mind wondered to my own life issues related to that. Furthermore it was one of the more relaxed Lit lessons. It wasnt dreadful at all. I actually dont mind picking up the book and annotating it in my notebook. Haha. Wow. It's a gooooood sign (:

Sigh. Please let tomorrow be a better day.

2007-05-30T00:50:00.000+08:00

Lalala. I didnt maintain today ): Bowled a 167, 145 and a 169 for second block of the Singles Event today for NAG. In 9th position overall with a 172 average I think. Blah maintaining or bowling up is really difficult sia. Oh wellsers! It's just an event & Reg & I will be fighting on for Doubles Event tmr! :D Hopefully we can repeat our achievements like in Nationals! Heh. Gna try! Had Chicken Briyani over at Northpoint's food court before heading to OCC with Anuaar and Reg. Whoa ate so full that I felt like puking before bowling and during the first game somehow didnt have much energy. Felt sick at the stomach :S Luckily it wasnt so bad after that. Uncle Adam damn hip la. He thinks that he grows younger instead of older. Haha. Cos we tricked him to sitting at the spoilt seat on our lane. And guess what! He knew that it was spoilt so the chair didnt tilt over. Hahaha. Indeed indeed. Sigh! He's the best coach Ive ever had. So damn funny & helped my bowling soooooo much. I'll be sad to leave bowling after NAG. Hope I keep bowling man. NTU! Here I come!!!

Lit extra lesson wasnt too bad actually (: We ended an hour earlier as Ms K noticed that ppl's eyes are "glazed over" - ppl were gna fall asleep alr. So nice. Haha wow right! But had a ton of stuff to prepare for tmr's class at 10am. Gosh it's 1am and I've yet to sleep or done anything! Shall wake up early tmr to chiong them.

I still wna go Sentosa to play volleyball, tan, swim, pub, club and shop in addition to MUGGING yes. Just that NAG holds priority at the moment. So cant all any of the above except for mugging this week.

Time to sleeeeeeeeeeeeeep. Good night!

I feel like an idiot sometimes. A very blur one at that. I bowled twice in two competitions in another person's lane. I need to open my eyes bigger! To stop embarrassing myself. I am so relieved that both times I'm not penalised/disqualified in both -.-"

Secondly, I kinda fell today when I slid. Hah. The approach was quite sticky. Even after using the deerskin sole which is the most slide-able one. Embarrassing la. I need to be more careful next time!!! xP

Bowled a 171, 204, 179 today for the first block of the Singles Event for National Age Groups (: Currently in 4th place. Hopefully can maintain or try to climb to 3rd! Haha. Maintaining is difficult man :S So happeeeeeeeee today :D Saw so many longlost bowling friends such as Marian, Samantha Liew, Charlyn, Sam.. :D NAG rocks in this aspect. Haha. It reunites longlost friends whove gone to polys/jcs!

RAH! Needa go back to school for Lit makeup with Ms K at 1-4pm )))))))))))): Gotta rush back home to change and take public transport (bus and/or MRT, not cab!) to OCC with Reg since our bowling balls are there, thank God (: OCC and the NAG organisers are really thoughtful la, cannot stand it! Not like A Div that time at Safra Yishun. Woot! Budden the same anal lane marshall is working there :S He's just doing his job, but he seriously can be more tactful and not be like some hawk/vulture around our lanes there. BAH.

2007-05-26T23:39:00.000+08:00

Nationals have officially ended today with the Masters Event and I'd like to say that I'm really proud of everyone (: Theyve worked their asses off this season and made our school proud (:

Clara got 2nd for Masters, in which she improved from 3rd last year (: *claps* But she was so upset that she got 2nd cos she lost only by a very small margin. And also due to the fact that Lady Luck wasnt by her side ):

Besides that there were many other disappointments that our bowlers faced which made them cry. We all feel for them because theyre that passionate about bowling. But of course, there were really amazing successes which glorified SAJC as well (: I am very proud of everyone, whatever their achievements are during Nationals (: J1s, do not be disheartened! You guys have one more year to prove what youre made of. So please train hard and bring the challenge trophy back! Haha. The General Office staff in school wanted to keep the challenge trophy forever or sth, but Ms Wong tried to explain to her that we cant. Lol it was damn cute. Hope that more good bowlers will come into SA and defend/improve our titles next year!

Rahhhh! Today's Masters Event was quite a nerve-wrecking one. Haha. So dumb right. How could it possibly be? I felt odd cos I felt like I was left alone to face all the enemies without my teammates and theyre only allowed to watch at the sidelines. Hahaha. I couldnt possibly cheer for myself. I'm the cheerer type. I'd like to cheer and high-ten my teammates after a strike/spare/miss to celebrate and vent out frustrations but I couldnt really do that today. So that may have contributed la. Luckily some of the bowlers were really nice (: Walao I'm damn dumb can!!! I threw a ball at the same lane I was bowling on after I completed a frame at that lane, when we're supposed to switch by following the arrows. KNS. Haha! But luckily it was okay cos the arrow wasnt at the lane which I threw the ball on. I am so blur la -.-"

Bowled about a 150plus avg. Blah. Haha. Oh wells. At least Ive got the experience of being in Masters (: 6th position isnt too bad after all.

Okie sleeping alr, cannot tahan alr. Will blog more soon. G'nite!

2007-05-23T22:20:00.000+08:00

What an emotionally-charged day.

More or less maintained with 164, 156 and 172 today, but definitely couldve bowled better. Currently in 6th position.

Dont have the mood to elaborate more.. Will do so after Team Event second block tmr. It's simply just too overwhelming at the moment and I hope tmr will be better.

Today almost the whole team went over to Nicholas Tong's house to hang out after our squad, including Helmi (coach) (: Haha. Think everyone didnt want to emo at home. We simply just played mahjong/pool/napped/talk cock with each other all in his big attic. Haha. It was nice just hanging out together as a team (: Especially when it was very impromptu and almost everyone could go (:

Please God, bless us Saints tmr.

2007-05-21T23:47:00.000+08:00

SILVERRRRRRR for Ribena Horlicks and Zhen Dan =D

Woot! Bowled a 150, 155, 225, 143, 177, 183 today (: 172 avg. Combined with Reg, we bowled a 166.5 avg =D Reg & I definitely expect it, but we did it =D We came with an aim to beat some American Cheesecakes and we did, plus a silver medal which added a cherry on top with rainbow sprinkles and chocolate jimmies and fudge and you get the idea. Hah. Prior to our girls' squad was the boys' squad. And something drove us to do better, which I am actually quite thankful for. Hah. That made me cheer so much harder for the guys til I almost lost my voice and felt a bit dizzy at one point. Wth right. Lol.

Being Doubles partners with Reg truly rocks man. We were nervous, bowled well, bowled bad, missed, struck, spared, laughed, encouraged, shouted, high-10ed, celebrated-ALTOGETHER today during the Doubles Event (: I guess it's the chemistry there and that we understood each other's needs while bowling. Like how to encourage each other. It was truly an experience i'll never ever forget for a long time because I think we were the cheeriest pair. Lols. We shouted like nobody's business, each time one of us were to bowl, after we struck/spare, even after we miss. Hah. Shouting really helps. You get to vent your frustration, you get to "celebrate" your strike/spare and you get to relieve yourself when you accidentally get a tyco strike/spare. Lols. Uncle Adam encourages shouting. Yay! Think it works cos it will kinda have an effect on opponents. So yea. But I feel like it mustve been unglam la. HAHA. Reg was like, "Then we must have looked like monsters right? Aiya nevermind la, monsters monsters la" and offered her hand for a high5. Lols.

I am really thankful for the people ard me. Regina, Helmi, Uncle Adam, Vincent, the teachers, the team (esp for the boys who supported and cheered for us ever so gusto-ly today! It's just heartwarming to know that your team is behind you (: ), my family's quiet but rewarding support, my classmates and other schoolmates' support as well (: YOU GUYS ALL ROCK!!! =D Cant thank them all enough (: I love you all (: <3>

I think I am damn emo. Hahaha. Heck it la.

Weiling's words were stuck in my head the whole time; You will strike everything! DING DONG DING DONG!

Lols! Yes that's her exact words. She's damn cute la. That encouraged me when the strikes werent coming. So thanks, Weiling! <3

COME ON SAINTS! THE BATTLE AINT OVER YET! TEAM EVENT TO GO! GIRLS, EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU HAVE A PART TO PLAY IN THIS TEAM (: PLEASE DONT GIVE UP! PICK UP EVERY PIN AS BEST AS YOU CAN AND I'M SURE WE'LL RISE UP, SURELY!!!

Today at Cafe Cartel I almost bought American Cheesecake :O Bought tiramisu cheesecake and aunt something's chewy chocolate cake instead. Hah. Better stay away for a while. Haha. Mummy got me a pair of brown wedges from Charles and Keith and we went Cafe Cartel for dinner to celebrate my first win in Nationals just now =D =D =D I am a happy happy girl (: She's coming down to support on Thurs! YAY! That means more strikes (: Haha.

Okay hope I survive school tomorrow!

2007-05-16T21:34:00.000+08:00

Bowled a 162.2 avg today for Singles Event. Rah. Stupid last game. 163, 172, 168, 183, 159, 128 ): Quite stagnant until the last game when I missed 3 friggin pin 10s and threw 2 gutter balls with my "new" ball, Storm Phase. Argh. Very frustrated about that. Besides the fact that stringing strikes and decent spares together didnt really happen. And the girls underperformed ): I'm sure we have more potential than what today's scores reflected. So let's see what happens in the Doubles and Team Events.

That aside, Leonard won 2nd for Singles! Woot woot! Or woof woof! Haha. Let's like, give him a can of Pedigree for a job well done. Hahaha. I think he'll kill me if he reads this haha. Anyhows, the guys are doing well, I think theyre gna have a tough fight with ACS IB. But nevertheless I'm very sure they can overtake them. I had fun (finally!) bowling with Regina (in Nationals!) (: Guess it's the "synergy" that's there, as what Uncle Adam calls it =D Haha. Helmi was a really really good morale booster. Haha. He could actually twist my name into Zhen Dan or steamed egg in Chinese -.-" And sing some Chinese song with "dan ni gu dan..." in it each time after I striked while swaying left and right with his hands in the air like a fan in a Chinese pop band concert when a ballad is played. Haha! I dunno the lyrics, and I dont think he did either, so he murmured everything except for the "dan ni gu dan..." part. Lols it was damn funny la. He joked a lot, which made the mood less tense. I appreciated that (: I think him and Uncle Adam make a great team of coaches. Haha. Of course la huh, theyre father and son after all (x And it was also very sweet of David, Steph Soh, Vic and Liz to come down to support us (: Sigh I still feel like theyve never left the team. I miss them!!

YEP. So will be training again on Saturday (final training!) to practise our lines and I will be requesting to do pin 10s as well - I just cannot take the fact that I missed 3 pin 10s in one game rah!!!

DOUBLES EVENT, HERE WE COME!!!

Ugh. So not in the mood for studies right now ):

2007-05-14T21:39:00.000+08:00

Disappointing ):

Sad to say, Minutes to Midnight lack the Linkin Park element ): It's gotten mainstream-ish, which is quite saddening actually. I was in my seat anxiously anticipating for that unique instrumental music in the background of a song or Mike Shinoda rapping along with Chester's sexaye-angst-driven voice in perfect harmony; simply the nice, usual melody which we associate with Linkin Park in Hybrid Theory and Meteora.

Now, theyve somehow become more mellow but more angsty at the same time with more "f*ck"s, making their CD one of the same as a 50 Cent/Akon CD. Yucks, putting them side by side doesnt do their music justice yes, but it provokes the same thinking. Plus, they sound more U2, even Coldplay-ish. Their music videos are getting more U2-like too-just take a look at what theyre wearing in the What I've Done video. The concept of it is so Save-The-World too. Not that it's a bad thing, but it's too copycat-ish. LP is much more creative than that! I miss your drumming skills, Rob! I want more Mike + Chester harmony!

I'm not very impressed by the mainstream rock songs because a new one with the same concept will play once and again on radio by different bands. I'm impressed by you, LP, for your use of unique instruments, your own kind of sound which we can immediately identify as LP.

I still love you, LP. I loved Hybrid Theory and Meteora. Just wish youve chucked away the new sound. Guess it mustve been quite an experience, pushing the limits or "pushed our boundaries" of your sound, as you have said. Not here to diss, nope, I love you guys. Just here to lament. I miss the old LP!!! Where's the anime drawings?! The spray cans?

-

My team (Regina, Junyi, Elis and I) were bowling in the same pair of lanes as Nicole and Jinghui. Haha we certainly had a great time supporting each other (: I'm excited, because I have such ON members! Hahaha. They will definitely make A Div a great experience too. We accomplished something today! Haha. Usually I'd go, "YEA!" when I give the bowlers in my lanes high-tens after getting a strike/spare. Junyi's, Nicole's and especially Regina's YEAs are the loudest. Elis' YEA is getting there. But Jinghui's YEA wasnt there at all during the first part of training. THENNNN, after giving her many YEAs, I think she wanted to try YEA-ing too. Haha! She said something like, "how do you all shout so high-pitched? I try". Hahaha so cute right? We were practically laughing at her cuteness. Hahaha. She tried to, and SUCCEEDED! Lols. Her YEAs are at our level now man =D Good job, Jing!! Will cheer for her if we have the opportunity to during A Div =D

Lanes were quite similar to the one of reverse oiling :S Omahgawd it's like, a returning nightmare. Cos when we were having B Div in Victor's we had to suffer that type of oiling. Couldnt find my line. A little bit off target and that's ittttt. There wasnt much area to "make mistakes". Today after 2 throws of the spare ball, the ring finger insert came out. Think it got lost at the pins deck there. Ahaha. Got quite a shock when i saw the spare ball roll back at the ball return without the finger insert. I was like, "REGINAAAA!" and pointed at it like a beyond shocked madwoman la. Haha. Grabbed it and showed it to Helmi who went to the pro shop behind we got me a new finger insert. It was $5 though. Quite ex huh. The pro shop guy (he used to coach/work in SY. I cant rmb!) and Helmi were questioning me why I didnt buy a new spare ball as the area around the finger inserts were cracking. Plus it was redrilled 3 times already. They jokingly asked if I wanted to bowl with it until it cracks into half. Haha. I said yes cos there is sentimental value to it-Evelyn Chan gave it to me in Sec 3 (: Maybe will be refilling the ball over the weekend at SY.

Argh. I so dont feel like going to school right now during season. It's just that my mind is not in the right place. Or mood to cram. Was dozing off during Econs lec and slept for a whole 20mins during Econs tut which I felt so guilty about cos I really pity Ms Wong for being so nice to us while we just.. ignore her and doze off. Really. I pity her. I'm such a disgrace to myself la. Sigh.

Mother's Day celebration was fun yesterday =D Mum and I went to Quality Hotel to have a buffet brunch. Next to our table was this girl who had gastric. Mum, being her, kinda talked to the hip mum of the girl and recommended the girl some herbal soup to relieve her stomach. The girl's name's Michelle. She's a really sweet girl, also a J2, from NYJC. She said I look like Fish Leong!! Here's some pics of Fish.

Do I really??? Haha. Gosh. This is a first.

We then headed to PS to watch 28 Weeks Later. The show is overrated-it's more like another version of Dawn of the Dead :S Not worth watching, really. 2 stars. If youre not 18 yet and think that just because it's an M18 movie so must watch, dont worry, youre not missing out on anything! Perhaps just loads amount of blood and violence. Is all. Haha. 300 IS the M18 movie to watch! Lol. Cant wait for Fantastic Four: Return of the Silver Surfer, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Will be watching Priates with the team after A Div. Yay! Cant wait for that (: Shopped around for a pair of black shorts for A Div, but couldnt find so went Tiong Bahru Plaza. Found a pair at Sportslink FOR $14.90 =D Cheapcheap! Haha. Bought a new waterbottle as well. Plus a new hairband. Plus a new belt. Basically shopping. Lols. Fun.

Less than 48hours to Singles Event this Wednesday!!!

Up, Saints!!!

2007-05-12T22:20:00.000+08:00

One more training to go;
3 more days;
Going for Gold;
Stepping down;
Saints Bowling will hold a special place in my heart (:

):

Reg, Anuaar and I were emoing at the kopitiam in Marina South about leaving Saints Bowling after Nationals. Haha. Junyi was trying her hardest to comfort us soon-to-be old birds. Haha. There are simply so much memories with the juniors, the rest of the J2s and our seniors in SAJC. Ah! I shall look forward to the last training and A Div before getting even more emo.

Bowling National Age Groups U-22 with Reggie, Trish and Elysia! (: We've decided to name ourselves '4 Steps'. Haha it kinda sounds noobish, but there's an underlying private joke in the name. HAHA. Everyone agreed to it, so we left it as that (x Hope we'll have a good time then.

Got our sexaye new bowling jerseys on Friday (: Come see during A Div! Haha. Wore the Adidas one today and everybody looked sexaye man. Haha. Bad part was it wasnt sweat-absorbant-we were left quite sticky from the dri-fit. Hopefully the white one will be more sweat-friendly. Haha.

Ooh yes. Our class raised $560.20 in total for Hospice Care Association from our Project Bake Love! sale and through donations on Friday for CIP (: (: (: The baking tai-tais are HAPPYYY. Haha. Thanks to Boon, Mat and Eugene for publicising for us! (Maybe Michelle and) I will be going up during assembly to thank the school for it -.-" Whoa paiseh sia. Haha. But will put that aside la. Dont think it's nice to push the responsibility to someone else. Hope I dont like, trip or sth la. Haha. Twas so fun baking with Deb and Krystal. Deb was panicking like crazy, and she was in a total frenzy in the kitchen when it was nearly time for dinner and we havent finish baking our peach cupcakes while the chocolate cupcakes failed twice already. Haha that was really funny! She tried to calm herself down by saying that she will need to be able to handle that bit of stress in the kitchen to be able to raise 6 kids in the future. Haha! The chocolate cupcakes' recipe wasnt right la-we just made more peach cupcakes in the end. Baked the heart-shaped pineapple tarts for mum at 11.30pm after late dinner. Omgggg. It looked nice but tastes super floury. Hah. SIGHS. What a ruined Mother's Day gift la. Haha.

Mahjonged today with Anuaar, Reg and Junyi after training =D Haha twas a really hilarious mahjong session. Best part was we played without money, so we didnt bother la. Haha. I AM ADDICTED MAN. But gotta brush up on the tactics and ARRANGING the tiles. Hahaha. Had 10 tais today can you believe it!!! My record most! HAHA. Yay I cant wait to be a tai-tai. Hahaha.

Okay. Think it's time to hit the bed. Really beat right now :S I cant wait for Nationals, National Age Group, badminton outings, study outings with the bowlers, baking&swimming&Sentosa outing with Deb and Krystal and Deb's birthday outing to Eski Bar! Hahaha. Reg and I may be going clubbing too. Ahaha. We're old, but we're a bit suaku la. Haha. Of course, there's BT2 to mug for. Gna try to balance the relaxing parts with the mugging parts. Dont wna do badly again ): BT1 was majorly screwed.

KOing already. Haha. Good night and Happy Mother's Day in advance (:

2007-05-09T22:41:00.000+08:00

During training today we bowled 3 games in total, transferring down a pair of lanes to the right after every game. Due to time constraints and the ease of bowling, we didnt change our names that we initially bowled in. So like, we ended up with another bowler's name twice after transferring lanes for the 2nd and 3rd game. We were super distracted by that la. Haha. Bowled crappily for the first two games. Yewliang assumed my name during the second game and he did really well - a 245 i think. Hahaha. Then Darryl assmed Regina's name and bowled a 200+ game too. Furthermore, Reg and I are most likely Doubles partners for Nationals already, and so are Darryl and Yewliang. Haha so we did well! Haha okay technically the boys did. During the third game when Reg and I assumed Clara and Stephanie respectively we both got 183 - haha much hope for doing well for Doubles event huh! Lol. We were happy. It gave us that little bit of confidence and mark that shows that we can win - we proved that during the NUS Open and I felt it today too. So hopefully it happens during Nationals.

Went Vivo aft trg, wanting to get my shorts from River Island. But guess what! THERE WASNT A SALE ANYMORE. ALL THE CLOTHES WERE GONE. INCLUDING MY SHORTS ): ): ): ): ): Gosh. How saddening. I dunno where I am gna find such a pair of shorts anymore. Hah. Gotta tell Deb the bad news too. The sale is gone. Haha.. Sigh. Yes my heart is aching badly from the shorts. Hahaha. That's how nice the shorts were. Seriously.

Gna bake till midnight (?) tmr at Deb's! Haha fun. We did that before Valentine's Day cos we baked Oreo Cheesecakes for the class for our Valentine's celebration ((: Gna stayover at her place and help carry the cupcakes to school. (Yep we're baking about 70 of them!) Hopefully the sale goes successfully!

Okay, gtg do GP Compre now ughh.

Less than a week left to Nationals!!!!!

2007-05-08T22:25:00.000+08:00

Haha. I was making the pineapple jam for the pineapple tarts I'm about to make for my mum and grandma for mother's day when my mum came home, walked to the kitchen and asked me what was i doing to her kitchen. LUCKILY, I managed to hide the recipe when Zoe started barking when my mum was opening the front door. I clasped it in between my fbts and my erm, hip there. Haha weird I know. Had no choice la. Just dismissed her question and said twas for CIP this Friday (my class is gna have a bake sale to raise funds for Hospice Care Association! Come support!). It turned out successful! Heh. Will be making the bottom pastry and baking it together with the pineapple jam on Thursday at Deb's (: Cant wait! Haha. Will be baking Nutella chocolate cupcakes and peach cupcakes for the CIP. Sounds tantalising huh? Come BUY! 1-3pm at the front of the cafe (:

Haha twas funny in school today. Deb was super cute. She brought a bag of 1kg worth of granulated sugar just to share it with me and Krystal. I brought maltose (mai ya tang!) for them. Haha the way Deb separated the sugar and maltose was damn funny - she went to the drink stall to get a cup and a few clear plastic bags to store them. Lol. We cut open the sugar packet and separated it into 2 plastic bags with a plastic spoon - right there at the gallery while the rest of the class were having PE. Haha. Then came the maltose. Y'know mai ya tang is da sticky gooey golden coloured thing that's spun around a disposable chopstick that one? Yeah. That was it. We had to separate the small tub into two. We had a few audiences from our class and we ended up eating some of the maltose. Lols. We all went, "WAH! SO VISCOUS!" when the maltose slowlyyyy but surelyyyy flowed into the cup. Lol. Geographers-in-the-making right there!

Haha another really hilarious and damn lame incident happened during Math period when our tutor wasnt there. Krystal was telling Luke that she was "going with Mat (to somewhere)". Then Eugene, whom I think was doing his Math tutorial, looked up and exclaimed, "Which one?!" The class just burst into laughter. HAHA. Fyi, Mat is Mathani, a classmate while mat is yeah, Malay ah bengs. Omg twas damn lame la. Haha.

Had a superfun and excited chitchat with Zhao, Mat, Yingjie and Krystal on Deb's birthday plans this coming June during Lit period as Ms K was on MC. Hahaha. Were discussing where to pub at, cos Krystal is finally legal and will be able to drink after taking her 6 months' worth of TB prevention pills. Haha then went to talk about clubbing. On the way to Math lec Mat actually imitated couples dancing when theyre clubbing, right outside the SC at the walkway there. HAHA. She was trying to show us how 2 guys will like, stand guard next to a girl so that other guys wont hit on her. Haha. Then she swayed side to side, saying that that's how the boyfriends danced while bodyguarding the girl, and her imitating that scene caused a little of a human traffic jam twas damn hilarious hahaha.

Love those siowtingtongs from A2 =D =D =D

Followed Luke, Mat and Krystal to DL's extra Human Geog tutorial, supposedly for those who are smarter in Human Geog and those hardworking types as there were some spaces available for those who wna join in. I went as it was from 3.30-4.30pm and I had to wait for Yewliang till 5.15. We ended school at 2pm, so had lotsa time to kill. Went to Cafe BB to do the H Geog tut and we saw Mr Khoo. Publicised our CIP to him and he gave us $10 to get him anything that he can keep and eat till next year when we come back to get results. LOL he's damn funny la. So nice for supporting us too! (: Okay fastforward to 5.15. Mr Lim drove us to Queensway Shopping Centre where Yewliang and I brought back our bowling jerseys as the school crests werent printed. Like, that was a major screwup cos who can forget a school crest on a school sports CCA shirt?! Thought that the service was really bad. Cos the shopowner's son was the one who tended to us the whole time. Bleah. Luckily, the shopowner was there today and he sincerely apologised to us about the screwup and said that they'll print asap by Friday latest and send it to school for us cos we made our way down especially to bring back the shirts. Okay I forgive the guy. He was very sincere and he offered to save us the hassle of going all the way to Queensway again. His wife also rushed to the counter to show us that they prepared the school crests to iron on the shirts already, which I thought was really sweet la. All forgiven!

3 more trainings to go! Please God, let us shine, let us defend our titles.

2007-05-06T11:20:00.000+08:00

I'm very frustrated with my sparing. Saturday trainings seem short even at 3 hours. Bowled 3 crappy games yesterday. Spare test wasnt that great either; we didnt have time to finish plus I couldnt bloody spare pin 2 properly ugh. How stupendifying. Nationals are in 10 days! Need to train more spares!!!

Yesterday while bowling I had a thought. I dunno if any senior realised this but it's one of the last few trainings we're gna have as a team. At least with us seniors around. I just cant believe it's.. here. ): ): ): This is happening way too fast ): I'll miss training with the juniors and the rest of the J2s, with Uncle Adam, Helmi, etc. More time for studies, for the class, but I feel like a big important chunk of me is gna be plucked out from me ): Alright this is too forward thinking already. Hah. There's still Nationals to go. (:

Just yesterday, my tutor called. Kinda to check up on how Glenn, Yewliang & I are doing with Math. I reluctantly picked up the phone call. I felt angry, upset, disappointed and defensive. He asked if we've found another tutor but I said we didnt - we'll look for another one after our season, which is end of May. He then went on to say that we cannot do that, we gotta be consistent, said we cannot keep focusing on bowling. The concoction of feelings stirred up even further and I couldnt help but pointed out that it will only be a few more weeks and bowling is our top priority now because season is here and this is probably the last year of our bowling career so we'd wna give our best. Just for May. Clearly, he didnt understood that. The mixed feelings aside, I appreciated his concern for us. But still. I simply cannot understand how he could drop Yewliang & Glenn for Physics & considered to take them back. And how he could just suddenly turn back on his very word and drop us for Math when he said countless times that he wouldnt drop us after BT1. But whatever. After he said he's quitting, I realised I'd prolly be better off without 5 hours of Math tuition each week at one sitting. If I could benefit from 2 and a half hours at one sitting twice for each week during O Levels, I dont think I cant for A's. Of course, we all know that A Levels require an "ocean" times more efforts than O's, but 5-8 hours of tuition in ONE single sitting is draining. Plus I think I may need a change in teaching style anyways. How I wish Mr Ng, my A Math tutor, teaches A Level Math ): Glenn & Yewliang are really nice guys. They take it in stride. They took the initial shock of being dropped for Physics quite calmly. No questions asked, they just went on to another Physics tutor. On the other hand, I'm so much more critical. I'm kinda embarrassed by this fact actually. But I just simply am unhappy about what our ex-tutor is doing. Guess girls feel more. Hah.

One step at a time.

2007-05-04T20:24:00.000+08:00

Went to VivoCity after school today for lunch at Thai Express with Deb & Krystal =D We shared the jade-green curry, pineapple fried rice & pad thai. Twas heavennn. Haha. After which we went to shop. Went to Forever 21, Adidas, RIVER ISLAND!, Daiso, Zinc, 37 Degrees, Six and lastly Diva. Haha yep that was our itinery for the day. OKAY I CANT HELP IT ALREADY! I'M GNA EXPLODE WITH EXCITEMENT!!! River Island had a sale!!! Haha okay I sound like an idiot but I dont care =P Tried on black skinny jeans and this superduper comfy thigh-friendly pair of black shorts and both were reallllly to die for. Haha okay in Zen's context anyways. I tried 'bowling' with the shorts and omg it felt so comfy! I think it's the most bowlable shorts I've ever tried on. Haha. But it did look a lil dressy for bowling. But I love it! Haha. Can wear out too. So I'm gna buy it and maybe wear it for A Div. Haha. Comfort! It costs $50 though, plus it's on sale -.-" Gna get the money! The 3 of us shared $9 worth of gold and black hair-ties at Diva. The gold ones are hot stuff. Haha. Krystal looked like a tai-tai in them. Deb & I planned her most tai-tai outfit - she will wear the gold hair-tie with her big hot red shoulder bag and carry her white handphone box-pouch which has some gold parts on it. HAHA. Abbbbsolutely tai-tai! I'm gna save it for A Div when we wear our white polos with the gold fonts xD Made Deb and Krystal wear them when they come down to support as well. Lol. Thanks guys! (:

Speaking of bowling! Bowled my highest score ever - a 239. 2 sets of four baggers in between a 8/ and the other one is an open frame I think. Hope I beat that record in A Div! Haha. Told my mum to come support cos I think she's my good luck charm. Whenever she watches me bowl I seem to bowl better. Lols. But she's complaining that Safra Yishun is too far. I'm persuading her though. Heh. Gna know the team line-ups tmr during training. Quite nervous about that. For me and everyone. On a brighter note, we're getting our new bowling jerseys and jackets for this year! =D Excitingg. Anuaar says that they look great. Cant wait to see them!

Oh yes, Spiderman 3 was fantastic! Heart-wrenching too. Regina was sobbing towards the end of the show when Harry died while Trish and I were laughing away at Regina trying to contain her tears. Haha. I like Spiderman when he was consumed by the 'dark side' though. Heh. He looked less geeky with the fringe and black fashion.. But not his behaviour though. Albeit that, his actions were really funny - reminded us a whole lot of Glenn when he did Hard Gay's (in)famous action one training for missing his spare. HAHA. 4 stars!

Gotta start Operation Mug On! Gotta get the drive up and running. Hope I get into the Hospitality course in NTU. NTU is collaborating with Cornell Uni (an Ivy League!) in this course. Sounds good huh. It's definitely a more practical choice financially - I highly doubt I'll get into Glion Uni anyways. It is a Uni in Switzerland specialising in Tourism and Hospitality Management and Sports and Event Management. Will probably cost nearly $200k so I think I can kinda forget it. Hah.

Gna continue bringing down those spares tmr!

The cold Chinese tea, sipped logarithmically after 5 mins until it's 9.43
when she dismissed it away forever gone.

The mug is nine-tenths empty.
Fill me, cries Candy Cane Mug.

I want to see it as a tenth filled actually.

I saw it today (:
With my two closest buddies.
Love y'all, my tai-tais (:

Been OC-crazed for the past few days. Haha. Chionged the last 10 episodes of The OC Season 3 the past 3 days and bro helped me download the fourth season from the Net. After which I'll move on to Heroes hehe xD Watched Krystal's Cinderella 3 vcd just now too. Lol. I think I wouldve enjoyed it if I were say, 10 years younger. (No offense Krystal! - Krystal's a HUGE FAN of Cinderella. She's our class' Cinderella xD)

Bowling's been neither here nor there lately. HAVE TO SPARE! Walao I dont understand how I can miss so much spares. Plus my new dull + shine balls are quite unpredictable. I'm not sure how much they'd hook yet cos theyre just about a week plus old and havent bowled much with them yet. In addition to that, the knuckle area of my index finger of my bowling hand hurts every so often ): To the point where I cant grip my pen properly to write. Luckily for my mechatecter guard my index finger is pretty much fixed at an angle. Haha. So yay. The cause for it to hurt isnt cos of excessive bowling or anything like that though - if I can recall correctly I kinda hit my hand against a wall in school accidentally and thus the injury. How dumb right. Hah.

Why is it when season nears I have to sustain weird injuries?! I cant rmb if I suffered from any injury last year but in Sec 3 and 4 nearing B Div that time I had to endure with a painful left thigh. Bleah. Lucky for me the left thigh doesnt hurt this year. Hah.

I'm really thankful for what Yewliang had said to the team last Saturday - it was a nice Team Talk. Haha. Okay we didnt reply much but it kinda straightened out some points which made me feel guilty. Of course, personally, one aims to be in first team or second team. I'd say that's natural. It also shows that you have a thirst to win and excel, which will drive you. But of course, we're all bowling for the school's overall standings at the end of the day, so being in the first/second/third team doesnt really have to matter. Just as long as EVERYONE puts in their best and see if the best 4 can determine our rank for this year's A Div. Winning Singles/Doubles/Event/Masters are just bonuses. But as a senior, I'd say that we'd naturally be inclined to have the extra want to win them as well - after all, this is probably our last year bowling a Nationals C'ship so we'd wanna squeeze the best out of it all.

And furthermore, this has pretty much been a dream for me in Sec 4 before I came here - to bowl for SA. That, tied-in with another dream which is more wishful-thinking shiat. Hah. That aside, the former dream is why my whole college life is so bowling-filled. Look at my BT1 grades. Hah! I'm lucky Mum is super understanding about it.

Okay! Safra Yishun, here we come tmr. Hopefully I can practise and conquer those spares. Grrrr. Youre going down!

Gonna catch Spiderman III with the team as well after training (: Wheeee! Movie movie.

Okay it's nearing 1am. Happy Labour Day!

Haha.
Okay randomnity.

On to the more soliddd stuff; here's what I koped from Michelle's blog!

Haha right after we watched The Number 23!
How ominous. Haha.

But we all agreed that it was quite a well-plotted show with a cool twist but it's just irritating at times when the characters feverishly start scribbling on their arms/legs/walls of numbers that will eventually end up with 23 -.-"

Aiyooo. Haha. I didnt like those parts. They seem to have that inducing effect on me. Like I'll get obsessed with the number 23 if I simply saw any more numbers. Like that my Math die already. I'd better book a ward in IMH!

3 stars!

Go watch 300. I'd give it a 5 (:

Sigh! My dog has broken my specs! Naughty girl. My left lens have broken while the right lens have teeth marks at the sides. GOSH. I cant imagine reading without my specs. Or getting ready to sleep without my specs. Or spending slack days with specs on ))))): My dad will make noise, sure thing ): SIGH. Careless me larh. Didnt realise my specs dropped to the floor ): AH I want my specs back ))):

Resolutions for Term 2: STUDY, train really hard, lose weight by engaging myself in more exercises and practice self-discipline!, not sleep in lectures/tutorials, save money, be a nicer person, be more patient and to be more DISCIPLINED!

econs was odd.
i could only remember myself nodding off to sleep while reading notes on national income online yesterday.
&sway sway today national income had to be the compulsory question -.-"
there goes 25marks.
but whattheheck. i cldnt understand it the night before anyway&didnt manage to memorise.
i had fun doing the essay question on standard of living though-spent one hour planning&writing. lol. hopefully i'll ace that question&help me pass (?)

math was okay! just that under exam conditions i couldnt rmb some nitty gritty stuff that was taught, such as finding the conjugate of the next root of the complex numbers question which was really a waste! ))):
well, hopefully i'll get a D or a pass! for once!

(i'm not looking forward to results btw ): )
BT1 is quite screwed up.

went to develop photos from the KL trip in parkway today with Reg (((:

plus some real lame ones. hahaha.
i'll post em up here as soon as Reg uploads them.
