Went to town early this morning... 11am... to collect the Female sports bag... it starts at 11am and i got there then... but the queue was already soooo long... think i queued for abt 20min or more to get the bag... and they were selling more Female there so people cld just purchase more or something just to get the bag... geez... good gimmick to sell ya? anyways, i got the red one... and it came with a free Nivea night repair cream and a Shokobutsu shower foam, sampler... not bad... feeling kinda under the weather... met Dan while he was working... his first day at IG's Heaven... pretended to be a customer... haha... and he pretended to intro stuff to me... i actually like the fridge there... this mini red fridge... costs $99 though... a bit steep... but i wld make a good buy... i can put my make-up and food in there... haha... anyways, off to bed soon... tired and sick...

chrissypoo is gone!

oh, and one more thing... Chrissypoo is out of S'pore Idols! finally!

work... italians... zeesh...

Was working today when this Italian couple came in with another guy... the lady was very nice... but the guy... geez... he ordered a cup of Expresso, single shot... and cos we're Country Manna we're not really experts in the coffee biz... when i served him his expresso, he pushed it to the edge of the table, looked at me with some kinda weird and arrogant expression and said "Zis iz not a zingle shot... a zingle shot zhld be like zis." and he points to like one quarter of the cup we gave him... when our manager said to him tht it is a single shot, he retorted arrogantly again... "Zis is definitely not a zingle shot... I am Italian I would know." Geez then Mr. Italiano, if u shld know, then u shldn't be ordering it at COuntry Manna now shld u? u shld try Starbucks or something, but then again, maybe even they cant produce a good 'zingle shot expresso'... arrogant bugger... can't stand it man...

there was this colleague of mine tht i've only met today... Patrick... his frens came by and actually msged him to ask abt me... erm, geez... then Patrick actually took a pic of me with his hp and sent to his fren... argh! but he told his fren tht i'm attached, so dun worry dear!

my long-time dream of finally eating the lasagne for free (cos it's my first 8 hr shift today!) has been fulfilled... so has my stomach... it was soooo filling... but quite nice i must say... it came along with 2 slices of garlic bread... it goes extremely well with the bolognaise sauce, i must say...

i got my pay already! abt $70... haiz... quite little... but ok lah, i've only worked for a few days so i shld be satisfied with tht... need to go cash it in tmr... put it to good use in Thailand...

going to town tmr... to Wisma, to be exact... going to redeem the free sports bag... being the kiasu S'porean, i will be there at 11am, when it opens, to be safe... haha... hope i do get one cos i like it... looks quite nice actually... my dear is working tmr... at IG's Heaven... will drop by to disturb... "Zis is not an azz-tray... I am Italian, so I know what an azz-tray lookz like." :P

cookies and pizza!

Went over to Vanessa's place just now... we had sooo much food! hahaha... haven't seen her in a while and met her in Causeway Pt...

When i was waiting for her, i saw this schoolmate of mine... she used to be in AI and she was in Oklahoma as well... she kinda has the reputation of benig promiscuous so pardon me when i make this assumption... the has this little girl with her and she didn't look like she was babysitting... so, u get the gist... i was tempted to go say hi but i think she 1) doesn't remember me and 2) will surely not like me to know if she really already has a child...

anyways, Van was abt 20 min late... nvm... u let me use ur kitchen and teach me how to make good food... i love u~ hahaha... went to coldstorage to get our ingredients... we were planning on making pizza and cookies... bought potato wedges along the way too... we are such greedy monsters, no?

went over to her place and saw April (the dog, not my friend i mentioned in my previous entry...) haven't seen her in sooooo long... she's gotten fatter... haha... well, she looked kinda aneroxic when i last saw her so... haha... anyways, she kinda kept jumping around me, sniffing everywhere... and i mean EVERYWHERE... haha... but tht's wat dogs do... she's friendlier now... she used to bark and try to bite me in the past... and wouldn't like me touching her tht much... but it's much better now... i kept playing with her... she's such a nice dog... come to think of it, she may just be nice cos i fed her some ham... hmmmm... damn...

we had wedges first... baked not fried... haha... healthy lifestyle ok! the we prepared the pizza... i had no idea it was so easy yet fun to make one... i kinda loaded a little too much toppings and it was kinda thick... but i like it! hehe... we made hawiian pizza... very nice... she said she had pineapples at her place but guess wat, turns out she didn't... so we actually took out the pineapple wedges from those canned lychees with pineapples inside them... the thought of it is quite hilarious actually... by the time we finished the pizza, we were stuffed... all thanks to the wedges... potatoes high in carbo... they bad, bad i say...

we went on to make cookies... chocolate chips... clever us didn't want to use the electric beater so had our workout of the day when we mixed the dough... i even broke her whisk... opps... sorry gal... anyways, we used 'agaration' for some of the measurements... but tht's what pros do, as Van says... okie dokie then...

made so many batches of cookies! i took home a 2L ice-cream tub full... haha... most of it will end up in Dan's tummy i guess... a little too crunchy for some reason... i dunno why... maybe 'agaration' wasn't tht good an idea after all... :P

we ended up making another pizza for dinner... ran out of pineapples so we just made do with ham and cheese... lots of cheese... kinda went overboard with the cheese... it bubbled all the way out onto the pan... opps...

pizza wasn't enuff and we had instant noodles... vegetarian... it was nice though... the soup base was tasty... and we added mushrooms, crabstick and fish balls... vegetarian no more! hehe... but i was stuffed after all that...

was watching SI while eating... it's time for Chrissypoo to go! he can't sing for goodness sake... and all those girls out there voting for him, pls open ur ears and hear him for once... HE CAN"T SING!! Tauffic shld also stop imitating the singers of the songs he's singing... my goodness, this is a singing competition, not an imitation competition... and Daphne... she must go too... i can't see why the judges can say she's good... i simply can't stand her voice... when she started singing the song, i got goosebumps... really... she's got too cute a voice... she belongs to the Mickey Mouse Club, not SI... and Sylvester... erm, the not-quite-there-rocker... pls man... u r not fooling the audience with ur jazz rendition... i dunno why Florence said tht u looked comfortable singing tht song and why Douglas said u didn't try to turn it into a rock song... ur voice just made it one... and ur sentimental look... pls, i'd rather look at April (the dog)... she looks more sincere than u...

must be wondering why i'm slamming all these contestants... it's cos after so many weeks... i really can't stand them anymore... i think SI is just a hoax and a failure... so many people whom shld have gone have stayed and so many whom shld have stayed are gone... my gosh... u r paying 50c per vote... pls dun waste them on undeserving contestants... geez... anyways, this is just a piece of my mind... anyone can think the way they want but this is truly how i think... oh, and another thing, Gurmit had the label of his shirt sticking out for most of the show... it was kinda embarrassing watching him... sheesh...

27 oct

This is a rare find... i'm actually blogging in the afternoon... haha... anyways, finished watching Full Metal Alchemist last night with Dan... very nice anime... the show's really quite clever... like the ideology in it... the things they say to explain how the world works and how they find out that the world ultimately doesn't revolve totally around equivalent trade... the ending's quite sad though... but it does set it apart from all the happy endings... it's kinda a cliff-hanger kinda thing... leave u pondering... i like it...

went back to NP training yesterday... had to make my way down after work... coach was there and we only did a few drills before playing 5 on 5 with coach and her gf... i was on their team, together with Xue Min and Jewel... it was quite fun but i was exhausted and i couldn't really do much or run much... was so breathless... anyways, coach left early and we continued to play half-court... i actually elbowed April in the face... so sorry... she was behind me when i got a rebound and i lifted my elbows up to turn around, like i usually do... and i hit her in the face... her contact lens came out! omg... i was so guilty... after a while, wei yan was behind me and i turned around, this time banging her with my shoulder... but i really didn't know she was behind me and all i did was turn around... erm... i think i shld really save all these for competitions...

but quite unsatisfied with my play yesterday... haven't played bball in months... haven't trained in months, esp... i felt so tired and breathless... and i had a lot of layups that i missed in the games... i was able to get under the basket under pressure yet i cldn't finish the play... argh... tht's always been my disadvantage... and my shooting has gotten off... i can't seem to shoot as i did before... keep losing touch of the ball... i think i need to hit the road more... as in i need to run more and train up my stamina again... really no point being breathless and unable to run in the game... i usually dunno where to stand and position myself wheni'm in a game too... so that sucks... need to work on that too... pronto... dun wanna be a bench player again for next year's IVP...

I'm off to play The Sims now... haha... actually back to playing that game... it's addictive, i tell u!

Had something really funny happen just now... i kinda made my own pasta sauce just to try something new... and i added too much salt to that... so my bro was tasting it and then after a while, he was using my dog, saying this in a French accent... "If you add too much salt, it will taste salty... if u add too much sugar, it will taste sweet... if u add both sugar and salt, it will taste bland... if u add shit, then ur pasta... did u add shit in this?" (points to my pasta) we both just started cracking up then... so freaking funny... we laughed till we were in tears man... hahaha

worked today... quite tiring... it was so busy... kept running all around... ican imagine tht tmr will be more hectic than tht... haiz... at least i'll be getting $$ for all that work... hehe...

had my one and only paper on 22nd... hehe... quite ok lah... i actually stayed up till 6am to study for an open book test... sounds like somthing a dumb blonde will do ya? hahaha... i guess i am dumb after all... hahaha... anyways, it was all right... hope i do well for it though... was too tired to do anything after that... just went home to slack... hehe...

ok, gonna try my hand at making another pasta sauce again tmr... wish me luck! hehe

tired

Wow, feeling really tired now... must be insomnia catching up with me... i hopefully can finally get some good night's rest... to think i even had a sip of Derence's coffee with 2 expresso shots... geez...

went to sch to collect my term assignment for media law and i realised it was gone... so i called ms Teo and she told me my marks... then she said that someone might have taken it away cos i got full marks... argh... and i thought i could use it as reference for the exam... geez... to whomever that took my paper... u shld have at least informed me and not stolen my paper... i would have gladly lent it to u after i have read through the comments and all... pls man, this is not good... really displeased at whomever who did it... i spent almost 15 min going thru the stack again and again and was panicking when i cldn't find it... geez...

anyways, went to Tiong Bahru to watch Danny train... had this carrot cake from one of the shops there... very nice!!! delicious man... thick and full of flavor... wish i got more of it... only a little too oily though... will get at least 2 next week when i return to TB... hehe...

my first day at work!

Had my first day of work at Country Manna Sun Plaza today... was tiring... reached there at 5pm to learn what i'm supposed to do... the people there are quite nice... there's this girl there called Rebeca... she's very nice... even helped me to sweep the floor come closing and helped us all wash our dishes after we were done eating... we also talked while on the job... haha...

it was tiring mostly because i had to stand the entire time... stood for 4 hours straight... had to clear tables, set the tables, give them their bills... haven't gotten to taking orders yet... have a test on that tmr cos i still have to learn all the abbrevations... haha... wish me luck man...

i had to help sweep the floor at closing time too... now i hate working closing... have so much more to do... argh... tmr i'll be mopping the floor... darn... had soup of the day, cream of mushroom and baked potato for dinner there... no problems with the customers today and i find it quite an enjoyment to serve them and all... quite fun to see all these people... many were with kids too... and some of them were just so cute... like there was this boy who came with his parents... i was filling his parents' glasses with water and since the boy's cup was still quite full, i wasn't planning on refilling his... but he held up his glass and asked in Mandarin "what about mine?" and i smiled and laughed at him and filled it up for him... his parents then asked him what he should say and he looked at me and said "jie jie thank you"... so cute! haha... looking forward to see the customers tmr... dun like closing though... argh... dun like dun like... haven't even settled when i'll be working next week... wonder if it's already to late to do that cos they schedule on Thurs... opps... haha...

my poor baby is sick... so poor thing... he just recovered from a fever not too long ago and now he's down with a fever again... lucky it's only a slight fever... come to think of it, BB just recovered from a fever too... and before that his grandma had one, and before that, dan had one... hmmm... and i think before that... i had one... argh... maybe i spread the disease to them?!?! uh oh...

dan was at charles' place studying yesterday... lingna came over to my place to watch the shows she asked me to tape over the past few weeks... haha... we had spaghetti... meatball sauce... and i cooked my cheese egg... i liked it alot... maybe it's cos i cooked it... anyways, i was watching Full Metal Alchemist... anime... hehe... very nice... gonna watch the entire series by this hols...

went over to lingna's place after that... went and saw her new kitten, baby... (pictures are below)... it's white with blue eyes...pretty... but it's got a cut on the side of it's face... so poor thing... and it likes to scratch and bite... reminds me of charles' kitty... haha... but this one's less aggressive as compared to kitty... not as fierce definitely... it's so fluffy and cute... hehe... tried to stroke it to sleep on my lap cos i found it lying in the laundry basket in a pile of dirty clothes... haha... so cute... but it was quite wary about me cos i'm like a stranger and it didn't wanna fal asleep on my lap cos it was worried that i might do something to it if it fell asleep... it closed it's eyes and it's head will drop but it tries not to fall asleep and shakes itself awake when it realises it's falling asleep... haha...

lingna's other 2 cats, boy boy an girl girl are now so big... no longer look like kittens even though they are only 6 months old... haha... but so poor thing they have to locked up in a cage... a huge cage tht costs $200+ that is... cos they keep running and jumping around and lingna's worried that they might jump out of the winow and door or something...

met up with Dan and Derence at Tiong Bahru Plaza... i reached there early and i went to NTUC to shop for drinks... haha... and bought Strepsils for Dan cos he was having a sore throat... poor thing... went with them to Bukit Ho Swee CC to watch the guys play... quite interesting... learnt a lot of moves from Alan and Oh Pa (dirty moves that is)... went to have desserts with them after they fininshed their games... Ah Tai sent me and Dan to Dan's place... i like Ah Tai... he's very nice haha... and he's got a very warm smile too... but he keeps reminding me that i owe him 210 sit ups... argh... okok... fine i'll return them to him someday... sooner or later... unless someone is good enough to repay it for me? hehe...

now kinda worried cos Dan's sick and it's my first day of work tmr... ahhh... hope all goes well... oh, just bought 2 polo tees for my job... only $10 each... bought from Giant... hehe...

12 oct

Was chatting online with Sonia, my good 'ol friend... haiz... really miss the secondary school days where we all just hung out and spent the days leisurely and with great enjoyment... less stress and more fun = a happier Evon... haha...

Dan and I finished up the Precious Thots puzzle... it's so pretty... spent about 3 hours completing it... Dan was slow cos he was distracted by the TV... we were watching Shi Zi Lu Kou... haha... anyways, kinda sad cos the plastic screen of the frame cracked, cos i pulled out the protective screen too fast and it now has a big and long crack down the middle... opps... still framed it up though... now's it's standing at the corner of my room on the floor... very pretty... hehe... look at the pic below... hehe...

just came back not too long ago from watching dan play a match... bukit batok against clementi... i dun like this player from clementi... no 9... i dunno why maybe it's cos he shots look damn ugly and that he's a very obnoxious looking fella... anyways, ah xiong (my ex-coach from Chong Ghee) was playing... didn't say hi to him though... shy... hehe...

batok played all right but a bit off form... like most of them haven't played in a while, which i think shld be quite true... but batok still won... even though the referees were kayu and kelong... dan got a rebound and he was turning with his elbow up, but he was turning so technically it wasn't a foul, but the referee said it was... and there was one where this guy went up for a layup... dan had his hands up but he jumped and didn't touch the guy... the guy banged his knee into dan's leg somemore... and the referee called it on dan... so pissed... but he got quite a few good baskets... happy for him...

i had no idea i liked competitions... bball competitions that is... i kinda get an adrenaline rush that i can't get from anywhere else... even watching him play in matches makes me feel like playing in a competition... this has somewhat motivated me to continue playing basketball actually... haha... but the only competitions i'll get to play might be for NP and Yuhua... if it still exists... haiz... and if they'll still send us out for competitions... but i really do miss training... those days in secondary school where we'll all train hard and go for desserts at the market after that... i wish to see that kinda bonding in NP... but it's hard... i dun even know if i'll be picked to play for next year... just have to wait and see i guess...





the puzzle that dan and i completed in 3 hours... hehe... pretty right? Posted by Hello

11 oct

Well, once again, blogging about yesterday's happenings... went to Derence's gf's place yesterday to see their new dog... a brown jack russell with a white underside... quite cute and tame, considering he's new and only a 4-month old pup... it's kinda scared of derence cos whenever he barks, Derence will scold him and he will stop... the same goes for playful biting... the dog's name is Magic... dun ask me why though... haha... but actually, it didn't look much like a jack russell... looked like some mixed breed but i dunno of what... it had long legs, something that's not so significant in jack russells... kinda awkward at his gf's place cos the first time i met her and her family was there too... we brought Magic downstairs for a walk and to the playground... he actually is quite scared of sliding down the slide... we had to push him down... haha... but he is quite dumb... he will jump over those covered drains at derence's gf's place, he tried to jump up onto the sofa from the side but he missed and fell when his stomach banged onto the armrest of the sofa... haha... he also banged his head on the table when he was running away from Derence (cos he scared him) haha...

after that dan and i went over to tiong bahru cos they were having a match there... a friendly match... xie jun and his friend went along too... went over to tiong bahru cc where they were supposed to play but the volleyball team was there so they had to change location... we then proceeded by car (someone in the team drove us there) to another court but it was crowded too... went to another and it too was crowded... we then went to another court and settled there cos there were people, but they were kids, which meant they were easy to 'chase'... sounds bad actually... haha...

they finally got to play and dan was in the starter 5... he played quite all right... he scored the first 4 points for his team... hehe... way to go... but he got tired after playing in the first quad... xie jun didn't get to play much and his friend, didn't even get to play at all... so poor thing... but i expected to see that... anyways, dan's team was a little rusty cos many haven't played bball in a while... but after a while, they got it on though still not at their best... guess they need plenty more playing time before they can actually get it on in the competitions... dan came over to my place yesterday and now he's still sleeping in my bed while i'm in my bro's room watching tv and blogging... haha... didn't do much today and slacked the whole day... hehe... so sad... i had a job that would have paid $200+ but there were some complications and i wasn't on for it anymore... haiz... but it's alright... i'm working this fri and sat at country manna... haha... my first days... hope it all goes well...

euphoria mania

Went for Euphoria yesterday at the Padang... only got home after 12 so was too tired and my internet connection was very slow at that time so i didn't blog then... once again, i'm writing about what happened yesterday... haha...

ok, met Charles, Xie Jun and Xu Yong at Plaza Sing yesterday... went to eat at the food court (Dan, XY and me) while XJ and Charles went to Mos Burger to meet Jun Hong and Joy for lunch... i had some curry chicken thingie... quite nice... hehe... dan had beef soup with rice and he regretted it... haha... but the ckicken's really nice...

went down to meet the others at Mos when we were finished and i had minestrone soup... and shared a vanilla shake with dan (which was more like a more liquified vanilla ice-cream)... made our way to Euphoria then...

it was quite crowded by the time we got there... didn't realise that there was a queue catering to under 18s, if not could have asked another friend along... wasted one tix cos of that... anyways, we got in at 5pm and we had to sit and talk crap until about 6pm when they brought about the DJs... jean dankar and carrie chong hosted the event, with mary (u shi ma li) joining them after that... it ws quite at first cos they had these 2 DJs to spin for like 2 hours!!! we wanted to watch the concert, not party to DJs! argh... but they were good... just that i was too early to get into the mood and it was on the freaking padang so not many danced... there was this kinda big girl behind us shaking her booty like no one's biz... her boobs were so freaking big! they actually look like 2 big melons! my gosh... anyways, moving on... i sympathise with the DJs... they're from UK and i bet tht if this took place in UK, the whole place would have been shaking with people dancing and all... but in S'pore, some even just sat on the floor while others only stood up and didn't dance at all... we were just talking and joking for the 2 hours... argh... anyways, we were all so relieved when they got the second act on... it was SHinwa, some Korean band... they're kinda good... they can sing and dance well... cos they sang live and they were good... their fans were quite crazy... it was as if it was a Shinwa concert... the guys were quite good looking too... hehe...

anyways, there were these few people in front of me and they were so freaking tall and kept shaking their heads to the music that i couldn't see a thing... dan actually lifted me up several times so that i could see the stage... hehe... thanks dear... the next act was All-4-One... they're like old and fat now... but they stil can sing damn well... we left in the midst of their performance... and went to Chinatown... kinda disappointed at the whole thing... cos i thought it was an entire concert kinda thing... but the DJ thing was such a bad idea... haiz... and sad cos i didn't get to watch Shin and MLTR (which was the last act)...

went to Chinatown to eat at Dan's dad's dim sum store... quite nice... loved the chicken feet... was so thirsty after the concert i actually got 2 cans of drinks and was still thirsty after that... did something stupid after dinner and i apologise to all for that... i just act like a bitch sometimes... sorry guys...

went to the pasar malam kinda thing after that and saw quite a few nice things there... there was this snake charmer with a huge python... it was long and fat! i went over to stroke it... such a beautiful creature... so tame too... saw this shop with lots of lighters... but they're all uniquely shaped... like actual sized guns, ships, bicycles, kerosene lamp (which is quite cool cos the things lights up in blue and red too after u've lighted it) and many others... very interesting store... dan liked this CD holder with silver cover... but it's like $18...

bought a jigsaw puzzle... i wanted to pay for it but dan beat me to it cos i didn't have smallchange... argh... it's one of precious thots... so cute... bought the frame as well... we then proceeded to take the mrt home... charles was so tired he was so quiet... haha... so weird... the only time i've seen him so quiet... the guys actually took the longer route with me... thanks guys... talked in the train and when i got off, i realised that i still haven't passed dan his spects and keys... so i had to meet him at admiralty to pass them to him... haha... so bo bo... finally headed home after that...

going over to derrence's gf's home to see his new dog... hehe... and then maybe going to oh pa's shop too... they have a friendly game at tiong bahru later... going to watch... will blog again later... my bro wants to use my laptop again... argh...

8 oct written on 9 oct

I shld stop blogging one day late... haha... i always blog in the wee hours of the day... one day after that is... once again, i will relate what has happened a day before, since it is after 12am 8 Oct...

went to sch to do convex assignment... asked Han to help me hand in my electives form... hope he remembers to... pls! i choose doc pro, act direct and script writ... hope these modules complement each other well... anyways, after the project meeting, i met up with dan, ah tai and xie jun... ah tai gave us a ride to dan's place cos he had to pick up his clothes and shoes to play bball... went to NUS after that...

was kinda fun actually... met oh pa and derrence there... they played half-court with some of dan's friends while i watched on cos i wasn't dressed to play... anyways, shot a couple of balls and played ABC with ah tai... lost to him by almost a complete set cos we played a set of 2... man, he's good... still owe him 200 sit-ups for that... hahaha... die man... anyways, after that played with ah tai and derrence... this time play push ups... one position back = 5 push ups... ah tai was leading most of the time... derrence shot an air-ball and had to start from one again... hahaha... then in the end ah tai and me were at the last shot... the 3 pt shot... and i shot it in before he did!!! hahaha... so in the end ah tai had to repay me 5 push ups while poor derrence had to give me 60! hahaha so surprised when i got the shot in... haha... if u know me well, i'm not really a 3-pt shooter... haha...

had a lot of fun playing with them... oh, the ball kept getting stuck in the net and i could actually jump and release the ball! but it was quite tiring jumping and sometimes i couldn't reach it so tht was quite embarrassing... hehe...

the guys then went on to play full-court with some other guys while i practised shooting at the other court... shot in 100 shots... 50 from free throw and 50 from 45 degree... hehe... quite proud of myself for having done so evenr though i got so tired i felt like giving up halfway... but i stuck with it! hahaha... so glad... but i took damn long... the ball got stuck in the net a few times and once a guy had to come rescue me haha... but after tht i got a chair and jumped off it to get the ball instead... haha... quite fun... but also tiring...

after shooting my 100, went to join the guys once again... oh, derrence had to leave even before they got to play full-court cos his new dog has arrived... a jack russell... not my fav breed of dogs... too damn frisky... haha... i like big and quiet dogs like huksies! and also lap dogs... hehe... but i dun mind seeing his new puppy... 4 months old... someday maybe... hehe

talked with ah tai... he asked me if i can cook and told him tht i can oly cook maggi mee and eggs... haha... then he asked if dan really can't catch any fish with me around... and abt fishing, shopping and all sorts of things... he's really quite nice and chatty... hehe... enjoyed talking to him... then chatted with xie jun also... haha... went back to danny's place after tht and then proceeded to my house after tht... he's now sleeping soundly while i'm still up blogging... haha... okies, time for me to knock out too... euphoria later!!! yeah! haha

exorcist... shit scared man!

Well, had my interview at Country Manna yesterday (cos it's past 12am already...) actualy it wasn't really an interview... it was more like i was already hired on the spot and he was telling me the workings of the restaurant... i'll prob be eating more Country Manna food cos they provide lunch... hehe... shld be cool... i like their food actually... i've never really been a waitress before... but when i was young, i remember going to this huge McDonald's at City Hall and hoping to become a waitress someday... and now i can fulfil that childhood dream of mine! hahaha... what a joke man... the naivity of a child... i'm starting work next week... hope all goes well... glad i finally found a job... can finally earn some money for my savings account... time to return all the money i've withdrawn and spent quite recklessly... haiz...

Went to watch Zhao Yan, Danny, Xie Jun and Charles play bball at 140 just now... cos i was quite bored at home so i went down after my "interview"... Charles was funny as usual and their games ended up as comic relief... haha... i dunno why i went all the way down to batok also... think it was cos i missed dan... just felt like seeing him so i went there... i figured i'd better spend more time with him before i start working and have less time for him... anyways, dan's mom called him and asked him to go watch exorcist... i didn't wanna watch it at first cos i wanted to save money (for the Thailand trip) and also cos i dun like to watch horror flicks... esp since we're watching the 9.30pm show... but he said he'd pay for me (thanks dear!) and further more, the movie's quite nice too, from what i've heard... it's been quite hyped up too... so i decided to go along...

went to westmall to meet dan's mom and dad... went to G2000 cos his dad wanted to buy some clothes... the salesgirl there was new... quite blur and service was quite bad, even though she was friendly... i guess she's just new and dunno the workings in the store well enough yet... give her time yeah... i bet she'll improve... anyways, dan's dad bought 4 tops and 2 pair of pants, i think... so rich... can just shop and buy things just like that... wish i had that kinda of spending power... anyways, saw the suits there... quite tempted to try them on but didn't... always wondered how i'd look in a suit... i love suits... they're so formal and makes one look so smart... like a dominatrix... haha... anyways, dan's mom then went to Osmose to buy a skirt and top... again, such spending power... haiz... saw these belts tht were quite nice... bling bling... haha... quite ex though... was thinking of going to Thailand to find things like these and buy from there cos they're much cheaper there... hehe... hope i get lots of good buys from there...

went to Swensen's for dinner after all that shopping... zhao yan came and joined us there... we had lots of sides like rodeo wings, calamari, salad and a seafood soup... being with danny's family has given me a life that i'd probably never have if it wasn't for him... i seldom go to fancy places to dine... my family normally never spends more than $30 for a meal... but with dan's family... one meal can go up to $300... it's just amazing how different people can have such different spending powers and lives... but i'm grateful and glad that i'm able to get a peek into a rich person's life and be part of it too... i had fish & chips at Swensen's... my food came extre late so even before it came, i was already half-full, stuffing myself with the side dishes... the food was quite good actually... loved the fish & chips... and the calamari was nice too...

went to Kopi Roti after tht... kinda like an imitation Ya Kun... but it's not bad too... quite creative actually... they had ice blended Horlicks... haha... but quite tasteless cos Horlicks and ice = tasteless... haha...

went to watch Exorcist after that... entered the theatre late... but didn't miss much... it was quite a good movie... keeps u at the edge of your seat... i was at least... a couple of funny bits (esp from the devil) and a couple of scary scenes where things suddenly pop up and scare the s**t out of you... u will feel like things will be happening anytime soon and tht's what keeps u feeling scared... it's the anticipation tht keeps u focused and scared... quite interesting... oh, just a tip... dun think the way the characters in the film think for who the devil is possessing... just recall the thrillers and remember the gender of the devil... then u'll know who it is... and as usual, the devil never dies the first time, so do watch out...

i think the movie is kinda focused on religion and your faith in it... cos ultimately, that's what triumphed eventually... but as u prob already know, it's not the final time that the devil appears ( if it was, then this wldn't be the prequel now would it?)

got to go Han's home to do Convex later... haiz... last assignment for this semester... kinda happy that all these are over and done with... the headache now lies in what module to put as my first choice for next sem... haiz...

7 oct

Having my interview at Sun Plaza Country Manna later... wish me luck... finally able to have the interview... i think it's been 6 days or more since i've tried to get the job... hope it goes well...

was watching Jamie's Kitchen just now... he's really quite cute... haha... suddenly had the urge to go and borrow cookery books on making pasta... haha... or something of the likes... since sch's kinda over already, though i still have some assignments to clear up and a final exam coming up...

went to suntec s'pore yesterday for my site evaluation assignment... quite fun actually... we ealked around the convention facilities and all... entered the convention halls, the exhibition halls, the meeting rooms, the theatre, the kitchen (2nd biggest commercial kitchen in S'pore!) and even the VIP room where stars hang out before concerts (and i think tht's where Alicia Keys will be hanging out tonight before her concert tonight) and where people like Bill Gates hung out... haha... so cool right? it definitely helped that the guide, Sam, was really cute... haha... i think it's cos of the suit he was wearing as well... so smart... he's really friendly too... spent 2 hours bringing us around... so nice of him rite? (check out his pic below!! *swoon*)

ok, i think that's about it now... feeling less depressed now... i have to get overit anyway... someday somehow... might as well stop being so sad over it... life is short and we all have to move on i guess... so here i am, trying to get over it... (ps: i'll still miss u and my memories of u will linger on...)



here's our cute guide, sam... *swoon* Posted by Hello

nothing can heal the hole in my heart... i miss you...

I've finally got to ask my mom what she did with my old pillow... just as i suspected, she threw it away... and she seemed to nonchalant about it... it hurts me so that she can just throw away something so dear to me without even informing me about it... she says it's cos it's unhealthy, disgusting and dirty... but no matter what, it's my pillow and she can't just throw my items away without asking me... what happened to privacy and personal belongings, esp something as personal as my pillow... i thought i had gotten over it but i apparently haven't... i thought of locking my door from now on, everytime i leave the house or my room unattended... i'm tempted to do just that...

she asked me about this comment i made, about buying me the ikea duck and goose feathered pillow... but i dun really think this will be able to replace me old pillow and make me as contented... my bro seems glad that it's gone, but i think they all have no idea how devastated i am over this... there's just this hole i feel... something's incomplete... she may feel guilty for doing what she did, but it can't compare to how sad i feel about this... and i dun feel guilty for making her feel guilty abt this... not after what she did... i just find myself defying her even more now... i dun wanna do anything she says... i just want my pillow back... which is impossible... it's gone forever and it'll never be back... i'll just have to accept it... something which will be quite impossible to achieve... i dun care if it's for my own good or anything... i live my life the way i want and i'm old enough to know what to do... i dun need anyone to baby me anymore... u can't determine what i want or need and what's good for me or not... i'll decide all these for myself thank u very much... there's nothing to look forward to at home anymore... i just want it back...



in loving memory of leng zhen tou, also known as chou chou... i'll miss you... Posted by Hello

6 oct - the day after...

Well, had an antagonising night last night... really miss my pillow so much, esp at night... had to hug my doggie (pui pui)... luckily danny came over and stayed at my place... he knew that i was sad so he came over to console me... thanks dear...

watched What Lie Beneath on tv last night, but i was too depressed to watch the show... went to bed before it ended... couldn't fall asleep and dan had to stroke my hair while he sat by the side of my bed till i fell asleep and till he himself fell asleep beside my bed... so poor thing, but so sweet of him... i think i'm not doing enough for him... he's always doing things for me yet i take him for granted... i feel ashamed... i think i just dislike helping people, period... haiz... i'm such a bitch... haiz...

had 2 tests today... the print test was alright... we all kinda discussed ans and all, but i think mr yee knew... he just kept hush abt it... haha... and it's questions about subbing and housestyle and some general knowledge on the publications and the sch... being an editor meant we had an advantage... convex test was bad though... couldn't ans most of the questions... her standards are just so freaking high... i think the most i can get for this module will be a C... still have to go down to Suntec later to do our site evaluation assignment... it's just so taxing... i'd not recommend anyone to take this elective... i'll be taking actdir, scriptwrit and preschi next sem... all the slack modules... i wanna end my year with something simple and easy to get by, esp since massina is a bitch, according to what i've heard... oh wells...

i'm now at danny's place... he's slping like a baby now... poor thing... had to wake up so early cos of me... and he didn't even have a good night's slp last night at my place... my poor baby... well, today is the last day of sch for me cos i have no classes on thur or fri... really relieved that this semester has finally passed by... though i still have one assignment to complete, pr proposal to touch up... and one med law exam to tackle... argh...

the death of a pillow

i can't believe it! it's gone!!! my mom threw it out!!! my favourite pillow, the one i've had since i was a baby... it's gone!!! i'm so freaking sad... i can't imagine that this day would come... i just came home and when i hugged my pillow, it's not the same anymore!!! it's not my pillow anymore!!! i want my pillow!!! it's followed me through so many years and so many phases of my life... it's become a part of me... i wanted to keep it till im old or something... but now, it's gone!! and i didn't even get a last hug or anything like that... i'm so freaking depressed right now... i don't really feel like doing anything.... i just wanna get hold of my mom and ask her where my old pillow is and why she did this... she could have at least told me or something... imagine the shock i had when i realised it was gone... i searched high and low in my house and even through the dustbin but it's nowhere to be found... i know it seems silly for a 19 year old to weep over a pillow, but it's my pillow that i've had since i was a child... i even used to talk to it and hug it everywhere i went in the house... i still do hug it everywhere... i cried into it so many times... it's carried the tears of my life and it's been bashed up by me when i'm mad... been flung around, been chewed on... i've did so many things with it, it's just become a part of my life that i find hard losing... but now it's gone... and i still can't believe it... i'm thinking that it may be stashed somewhere or something... and it's not really gone... but in my heart, i know there's a sickening feeling inside that tells me that it's no longer around... i dunno... i just feel so sad... if i wasn't in the right sense, i would have tried to do something stupid just to get it back... many may say it's just a pillow, but it isn't... it's a part of my life.. a part of my childhood... something so valuable that money can't buy... there's no way any other pillow or whatever can replace it... it's irreplacable! normally when i'm feeling as shitty as this, i'll hug it and cry into... but now, i've got nothing to hug or cry into... how will i ever get used to it not being around anymore? i always turn to it for comfort and now there's nothing... i dunno how i'll get through this day... this orrid day...

Wow... haven't written in here for a couple of days already... been quite tired and busy... let me recap... went over to dan's place to stay overnight on thurs night tht's why didn't have a chance to write... let me think what happened... had no class on thurs... went to far east to watch them cut their hair... them being charles, jun hong and danny... saw pei see there as well as geraldine... haha... pei see said i changed a lot... maybe lah... then danny said it was cos of him... and i dun dispute that... it is quite true... he kinda made me more feminine... haha... although i cld have achieved it without his help too...

anyways, went to batok after that... to dan's place... played bball at the shelter court cos it was raining... jun hong very funny... he can't play bball too... but charles improving man... hehe... give him a couple more months... ;P

played against some yusoff ishak students... kinda pissed cos they won! haha... anyways, i wasn't running and neither was dan... zhao yan also played cos jun hong gave up and she subbed in... haha...

cooked spag at dan's place after that and shared it amongst dan, charles, elmer, his gf and me.. also had sparkling juice... haha... charles' idea... oh, had fries after that cos was still hungry... yummy...

the next morning, fri morn, i stayed at dan's place while he went to sch... had a super long weekend this week cos no classes from thur to tue... hahaha... anyways, waited for dan to come back... his ah ma came into the room several times cos bb was in there too, disturbing me and also fussing arnd in the room... cldn't really fall asleep after that but just laid on the bed watching tv... pretending to slp when his ah ma came in (cos pai seh lah... i dun wanna talk to her cos my hokkien isn't very good... so the best way out was to pretend to be asleep...)

dan finally came home at about 3pm... went to NUS after that to watch dan play bball there... he got kneed in the game and came out after a while... then saw some uni gals training... it's like a combined team... xue ling was there too... she's playing for NTU... next year's IVP will be tough... haiz... seeing them train, i was quite motivated to play bball but no one wanted to play when i asked yesterday... so sad... actually some are playing at yew tee now but i'm too lazy to go over... so here i am at home having gone to brendan's house to do pr... met up with ms ang at J8 to run through our presentation... she treated us to wings at cafe cartel... hehe... very nice... thanks ms ang! now our team is into the final pitch to the real clients and we're guaranteed of $300 cos only 3 teams made it to the finals... yay! more money for me! haha...

went to inquire on the job vacancy at country manna near my place cos i was on my way back and just thought i'd drop by to see if they're still hiring... bad move... haha... the guy told me to come back again tmr cos it's dinner time... hehe... guess i'll go down and check it out tmr...

oh, my resignation for trib had been successful!!! i'm a free man! yeah!!! haha... was so glad when i saw the msg... haha... ok, i'm going off to shower now... stinky like heck man... hahaha... well, not really.. but whatever... ciao
