shopping shopping!
A day to pamper...
It's X'mas eve! Well, i'm working today so i can't really do anything special... so i guess i did most of that yesterday... i bought a couple of things, including the chocolate for the gift exchange at Country Manna... also went to pluck my eye brows... wanna look good for the hols ya see... hehe... came home and was making something special for my dear when Li Sien called and asked me to go shopping with her at J8... so i said yes and met up with her at 6pm...
oh, before that, i went to develop photos and used this Kodak booth... instant photo developing for digital pics... so cool... all the photos came out in 4R and u can edit how it looks... can add words and frame the photos... a normal print is 50cents per piece... which is about the same price as the normal developing... but it's still quite ex, i think... haiz... it was fun to use though and it was quite fast... can also send pics thru bluetooth, IR and even insert ur memorycards in to print from... so cool right? haha...
Anyways, met up with Li Sien at J8 and she gave me a X'mas card and a pretty package of sweet goodies... hehe... so sweet of her... was so embarrassed cos i didn't get her anything... but i'm gonna get her a birthday cum christmas present... it's her b-day today actually! happy birthday xiao zhu zhu! hehe...
We shopped around and went for dinner at Secret Recipe... the food there was not bad but the best thing was the cheesecake! so nice! even better than the one at Lips! hehe... i think i'll be visiting there soon again to have the cheesecake... we went for more shopping after that and she bought a couple of things... went to eat more stuff later... haha... we shared this fried chicken cutlet... the XXL Taiwan one... and shared a 'mee sua'... very nice! must try! but the portion was quite small, considering it was $3... after that, we got ourselves some drinks and left for more shopping...
Went to Fox and we both bought the same jacket! haha... it was on offer, going for $15... she got the red one while i got the dark gray one... hehe... i like it! it looks so hip-hop and gym at the same time... haha... reminds me of when Sly wore that shiny sweater at SI... singing "I Swear"... haha... it also keeps me warm cos it's got like wool inside... so comfy! can't wait to wear it on Mon... hehe...
Well, i had a great day with Li Sien... and i think i'll be meeting her on Mon for tea at Tea Party again! haha... it's becomea ritual kinda thing now... haha...
Oh, saw this Ch 8 actress at City Link Adidas that day when Charles, Xie Jun, Dan and me went shopping... she's Carole Lim... if i'm not wrong... she's so thin... and she's really got a stern face when she doesn't smile...
And our AI peeps had a gathering last Sat... it was quite fun... i ate all the prawns, except for one which i gave Fazli... haha... but it was fun meeting all of them again... looking forward to the next gathering (Pulau Ubin hike ar!)

long time ago...
When was the last time i blogged?!?
Wow, i can't even remember blogging the last time... been quite some time since i've touched this thingie... haha... well, been kinda busy with sch and work... esp sch...
This guy whom i'm doing my doc pro project with kinda shoots at me for working... he asks me why i'm working and shouldn't studying be my first priority... well, when i told him i needed to work to actually earn money, he was commenting on my family situation, whether they really needed me to work... i was wondering - why did i have to explain to him? i'm only doing a project with him... my personal matters do not matter in this case... i was so pissed after talking to him over the phone... and he's so rude he just hangs up the phone abruptly... geez... personality clash i'd think... and i dislike the disgusting topics and stuff that u always seem to be talking about... pls man, i'm f***ing not interested... i'd love to stay far away from you, but unfortunately, i have to work with u on my projects, cos despite your weirdness, you are a good worker...
Anyways, i haven't been doing much except working on my projects and assignments for sch... so many lined up already... i feel like this semester's a cramped and fast one, which is true, cos it's only 15 weeks long, compared to last sem's 16...
Oh, here's the story on my bad day... I was on my way to sch on Tue and i actually fell while going up the overhead bridge... i missed a step and i slipped, but i didn't have a major fall... kinda just crumpled onto the floor and got up quickly, cos people arnd me started looking at me... i was so embarrassed i just kept walking... then in class, we were in the theatre so the chair kinda folds back up when u get off it, like those cinema chairs... i got off my chair and put something on my bag... then i tried to get back on my seat, but forgetting that the chair folds up by itself, i plopped onto the floor again... geez... on that same day, i went to SIM to eat the chicken cutlet... the guy gave me like, 2 servings! it was so humongous! couldn't finish it and thanks to that gigantic chicken, i couldn't run during training cos i felt like puking mostly...
Yesterday was quite boring... i skipped script class though cos i didn't feel like reciting my script in class... so i just hang out and had lunch with Dan and slacker gang for one hour and spent the rest of the time in the library, doing my assignments...
Christmas is in a couple of days... but somehow, it doesn't feel so festive... i guess it's cos i'll be worrying about my assignments thru the hols... and that i have to work on eve and boxing day... haiz... the trials and tribulations of a working student... maybe i have too much on my plate... geez... well, it's only for a couple of months... then i'll be out of this hell-hole i call school... but then again, i'd just be plunging into another one - the working world...
I got Dan a bag and he got me a beanbag... so the presents been settled... i actually bought the bag on a shopping trip before going to meet him at his workplace... on sat i believe... i went to town alone, thinking i'd prob be so bored shopping alone... but when i got off the bus, i was so surprised when someone familiar approached me and hugged me... haha... it was Laura and she was with Christina... we then hung out together instead... that was fun... haha...
Anyways, i still have no idea on what we'll be doing for x'mas... maybe it'll be a good day to just relax at home...

long time no blog...
Bball Fever & School Work Piling Up Already!
I haven't been blogging recently cos i've been quite busy with sch and bball... barely have the energy and time to come online... it's sch, home, bathe, eat, slp... it's been tht way for this wek esp... not to mention that i have to work on somedays after class... i'm already beginning to find it hard to cope...
Besides the mounds of work piling up, i still found time to play some bball... training on Tues was quite ok... we chose our jersey numbers... wanted to take 8 but someone wanted it too and not wanting to be the bitch i so wanted to be, i let her have it instead... freak it, i'm not someone to fight over something this insignificant... and i won't use this to replace another fight which is of a bigger cause... i won't link this to that... i'm better than that... oh, i think i'll be getting 14 instead... missing 4, 8 and 10 in order to finally have a complete set... haha...
Went down to Bukit Ho Swee yesterday to play bball with Dan and Oh Pa and gang... it was quite fun and i was playing in a relaxed form yesterday... for some reason, i think i wanted to prove to them that i can play bball and i'm not that bad a player... i wanted to prove myelf to them... i did score a few points and i had 2 amazing layups which were very lucky... haha... was quite scared while going for a layup cos Dan nearly fell down while going up for one... well, he tried to lean on Oh Pa and go for one, but knowing how fierce and 'smelly' a player he is, he didn't just let him go for an easy basket... he shifted to his left and bent down slightly, but it was more than enough... Dan lost his balance and nearly fell face forward... but luckily he regained his balance and landed on his feet...
Went to town today with Dan... haven't hung out with him for quite a while... missed him so much for the past few days... i guess it's cos the work i have... i just wanted someone's company during this hectic time... he had to work today so we went to Suntec... had potato salad, oreo cheesecake, hot chocolate for me and a chocolate milk elephancino for him, all from NYDC... it's my first time there and i kinda regretted it cos we jacked up a $26 bill for just that... i don't think i'd go there again for a long time... prefer the oreo cheesecake from Lips... it's cheaper yet nicer... we also walked around and i wanted to get him this handphone accessory from IG's Heaven that he likes... but he said he didn't want it anymore... oh wells...
Got work tmr and training after that... haiz... another busy day up ahead...

the tea party... wonderful place!
The Tea Party on 6th Ave
Li Sien brought me to this cafe on 6th Ave... called The Tea Party... wonderful place to chill out... i think that'll be where i'll hang out in the future...
Li Sien brought a friend along too... happens that he's in the same class as Dan... or at least he thinks so...
The Tea Party is such a cosy cove... we sat upstairs where it was totally private and quiet... cos no one was up there except for us... the place was furnished with sofas and coffee tables... the walls were adorned with beautiful pictures taken and on sale by the owner of the cafe...
We had Honey Pear Tea and i had Steak Mushroom Pie while Li Sien had Chicken Mushroom Pie and a scone... the pies were wonderful! and so's the tea... delicious and quite affordable, considering there's no service charge and it's such a nice place... i'm definitely going back soon!

Most of the times i see people get together and i say, "Wow, I'm happy for you two." But this time, i wish it didn't happen. I can't confirm anything at the moment and i wish that it isn't true, for your sake and hers, but my gut feeling and my source tell me that it most prob is true.
So f***ing disappointed in you... you really are such a f***ing arsehole... and as for her... f*** her too...

my first time
My First Time...
Well, it was Ah Tai's wife's birthday yesterday... went to this KTV pub near Upper Thompson Road... Oh Pa, Eh Kao, Ah Lai, Alan, Dan, Ah Tai, his wife and some of her friends were there too... it was quite fun, singing and all... sang 2 duets with Alan... quite amused to find out that he sings this song that another Alan (Bukit Batok Alan) likes to sing and listen to too... haha...
Anyways, had Martel for the first time yesterday... Dan told me that it's smooth and told me to try, so i did... later Dan told me to pour this cup and i thought we'd share it like we did for the night, then he told me that he'd be driving later so i'd have to finish the drink... gulp... so i did... haha... but i didn't get high or drunk or anything... no hangover today too... haha... he also tricked me into drinking undiluted Martel... it burned my throat man! i really felt warm after drinking only one sip of undiluted Martel... eww... remind me to never do that again... took home the 2 glass beads in the bottle... Dan told me that it was so that the liquor would pour out smoothly...
Went to JB today with Dan and Xu Yong... bought a couple of things... i bought a The Nightmare Before Christmas DVD... love that show... bought a The Nightmare Before Christmas keychain... a Revlon eyeliner, a eyebrow cum eyeshadow duo pack... a FullMetal Alchemist comic... i think that's about it... hehe... it was quite fun today.... but as usual, customs was a killer... argh...
Got to go and finish up my assignment for script... hehe... most prob going to 6th Ave to eat some chicken pie with Li Sien tmr... :P

bball results
Announcing Results of Men's Open For Sin Chong (Dan's team):
Sin Chong VS Rong Da:
Sin Chong lost by 8 pts mainly due to lack of players. Their offence was off and their defence was shabby. But they managed to play quite well at the start, and tried to pick up at the end. However, time was against them and they lost.
Sin Chong VS Tong Whye:
Sin Chong won by thirty points (98:68). The game was pretty tight in the first half with Sin Chong leading by 1 at half-time. However, Sin Chong's morale increased in the second-half and they beat Tong Whye flat out. Everything was going well for Sin Chong, esp offensive wise. Plenty of fast breaks and great plays. This was the best match for the team in this competition. Teamwork was wonderful and the players managed to score well, as well as practice good defence. The top scorer for Sin Chong was Danny Lim Kanson with 22 points. The game was rough and tough with a few elbows in the face for Tong Whye players.

something familiar has suddenly become so unfamiliar...
That Which Was So Familiar Has Become So Distant...
Standing outside the newsroom, waiting impatiently for Nicole to finish checking her email on Man's powerbook...
The once-empty three boxes displayed at the glass panels facing the corridor were adorned with plenty of decorative items... one to represent each publication... i never got to help out in completing the box...
I dragged myself to the door, reluctant to enter... i stood at the door, thinking how we had stayed over in there, busy with work yet happy in each others' company...
Suddenly a familiar voice calls out "Why u standing there? Like some stranger like that... Haha..."
Yes, at that moment, i felt so detached from the room and the people in there, i did feel like a stranger... a room that i was once authorised to enter has suddenly become off-bounds... the people whom i saw and interacted daily seem so distant and cold... ever since i've left, i've felt this tinge of guilt in my heart; i feel like i'm abandoning them... the worst thing is that they will have no replacement for me, so they'll have to complete the work of what was a 3-persons' job...
I left not because of the team... i love working with them... they're a fun and wonderful bunch and i can't think of anyone better to be in a team with... we all brought our various personalities into it and that has just lightened up the work... but i just couldn't take it anymore... i'm so sorry for having left... i miss you guys...

Suddenly a familiar voice calls out "Why u standing there? Like some stranger like that... Haha..."
Yes, at that moment, i felt so detached from the room and the people in there, i did feel like a stranger... a room that i was once authorised to enter has suddenly become off-bounds... the people whom i saw and interacted daily seem so distant and cold... ever since i've left, i've felt this tinge of guilt in my heart; i feel like i'm abandoning them... the worst thing is that they will have no replacement for me, so they'll have to complete the work of what was a 3-persons' job...
I left not because of the team... i love working with them... they're a fun and wonderful bunch and i can't think of anyone better to be in a team with... we all brought our various personalities into it and that has just lightened up the work... but i just couldn't take it anymore... i'm so sorry for having left... i miss you guys...
embrace
The Never-ending Wonderous Feeling of Love
I love being in your warm embrace,
Ever so comforting and familiar.
I love feeling your lips on mine,
The warmth emnating from yours.
I wish I could stay in your arms forever,
But i know that it is only a dream.
Cos there's no such thing as forever,
But I'll say till my last breath sustains.
Thanks my Dear for being there for me,
For loving and caring me.
I'm convinced that whilst I still have warmth in me,
You'll be there with your arms wide open for me.

X'mas Gifts... What a bother!
I still have no idea what to get my dear for X'mas... he's already got me a pressie... and it costs quite a lot... i dunno what to get him to make him happy... went to Causeway Pt to look around for this gift i initially wanted to get him... but it was sold out and i figured that it was not worth it and quite big... he'd have no room for it in his room... so i decided against it... now i'm still wondering what to get him... something he'd really like... haiz... but i'm such a loser... i actually dunno what to get him to make him happy...
Anyways, I'm glad to say that Ah Tai enjoyed the cookies too... he msged me just now to thank me for them... told me that they were good but i gave him too little... haha... Dan's lot is almost finished cos his sis' bf ate almost half of it! so poor thing my dear... apparently, they all think it's nice... even BB thinks so too... haha... i guess i'll be making more soon...
Well, Act Dir classes have been cancelled this week... quite a pity cos i was actually looking forward to it... heard frm Felicia tht it's quite fun... but nonetheless, i'm looking forward to tmr cos of Doc Pro and Script Writing... hehe... wonder who's in my class... hehe... i actually found out that i'm taking the exact same electives as Han! i checked out the mailing list of all my modules and realised that he was in all of them! what a coincidence! haha...
My dear dear! pls tell me what u want for X'mas! I dunno what to get u... i want it to be a surprise actually, but i seriously can't think of anything to surprise u with! haha... such a loser rite? Anyways, all i want for X'mas is... U! *Muacks!*

i feel pretty... oh so pretty...
I Feel Pretty, Oh So Pretty...
I've always wondered why I'm not one of those girly girls... i don't wear skirts all the time, i don't don make-up, i don't dress up very much and i don't accesorise much too... it might be all the magazines i've been reading and all the TV i've been watching, but i do wish that i can be that girly girl...
I want to be the girl who knows how to put on flawless makeup, dress up prettily and accesorise appropriately... for at least once in my life, i want to look gorgeous... i guess everyone wants to look good... this is a very superficial entry, so... haha...
Anyways, i want to have pretty clothes... i want to have nice make-up, i want nice accesories... is that too much to ask for? the thing standing in my path to all these? Money... no money = no products... haiz... the huge world of commercialism... look what it's done to me... corrupted my little mind into thinking that i need all these unneccessary items... that's the power of marketing... making something u want into something u need... businessman are so powerful...
Normally, i'm a girl who's easily satisfied... give me something to eat and make me laugh and i'll be fine... just like a little baby ya? haha... but with all the commercialism going on, who can really say that he/she is never in need of anything? we always want something... we always want more... it's a vicious cycle... the buying never stops... i guess this explains why girls have the constant urge to shop... hey, don't blame us, blame all the wonderful businessmen... the people who move us to shop... well, now u know...

our future home
Our Future Home
A simple three-room flat (not aiming too high, start simple and move on from there).
Living Room:
A nice sofa and a cabinet to store the TV and radio, VCD and DVD players... minimal decorative items (easier to clean and maintain).
Kitchen:
Minimal needs, but must have a fridge, microwave, a big oven and a sink. All food to be kept in air-tight containers, tucked safely away from the reach of disgusting pests. Spraying of insecticide every night to keep the buggers away.
Master Bed Room:
A king-sized bed, a dresser, a TV with DVD player, a big cabinet.
Extra Room:
A work area, a TV with DVD player, a sofa bed (for unexpected guests).
Only minimal needs to be catered to. No extra clusters or knick knacks. All such items will be chucked into the store room. He says to put the fishing equipment in the kitchen on a stand, but i think they suit the store better... out of sight, out of mind, no? haha...
Hamsters as first pets? Or maybe fish... or maybe both... haha...

losing game
Dan's match was quite bad... well, they lost by about 20+ points... and it happened that Jammers is taken by my ex-coach, Ng Jun Fang... oh wells... imagine my surprise...
I thought Dan's team would win cos they played quite well in the first half... there was onlya one-point deficiet at half-time... however, the third quarter was horrendous cos the opponent kept scoring again and again, bringing the deficiet up to almost 20 by then... it was horrible... pigs in a slaughterhouse, i'd say... Dan played quite well and scored a couple of points... but there was no teamwork and no offensive rebounds... no rebounds at all for that matter... be it offensive or defensive... i guess that's what led to their downfall...
I let plenty of people try my cookies... Dan, Jac, Derrence, his gf and another box to Ah Tai... feedback - not bad, quite nice... haha... i guess that's an encouragement...
It's back to waking up at dawn, even before the sun rises... got to wake at 5.45am tmr... i really wonder what IS is for... what a freaking waste of my Mon... and of all days, MON... haven't they heard of the MON BLUES? of all days to take these useless and irritating classes, MON... argh...
Got to work tmr after sch... and on Fri and Sat in the morn too... no qualms about it though... work = $$; $$ = good!!
Might be going over to JB with Dan, Zhao Yan... and who knows who else... on Sun... now i wonder if Zhao Yan even wants to go anymore... oh wells, we'll see... but the exchange rate for RM is falling... so sad...
Quite excited about the start of this semester... the last in this freaking stingy school... hah... esp excited about scriptwrit and doc pro... act dir sounds quite interesting but i'm beginning to wonder if me, someone who is quite unable to express my emotions well, is capable of doing well in a class that requires maximum expression... uh-oh... but i really miss those times in AI... acting in Oklahoma and I Want To Live... i think i'll be ok... i hope i'll be ok...

sickly me...
Well, I haven't been blogging much these few days cos i've been sick.. still am in fact... what a way to receive the new term in school... my last term in sch in fact... excited, yet sad and scared... i have no plans for what i wanna do after i graduate... i'm just taking it one at a time... geez...
Made cookies yesterday... the stupid iven of mine kept creating problems for me... it doesn't bake very well so there are some burnt batches, but nonetheless, still edible batches... haha...
Went over to Ah Tai's place for dinner (which was mentioned in my previous entry)... saw his cute little hamsters... the female had just given birth to a litter of 6... so adorable... they were only about a week old when i saw them... Ah Tai asked if i wanted to have 2 of them... as tempted as i was, i knew that there was no way i could care for them and take the nagging from my parents if i did take them back, so i reluctantly declined...
Speaking of Ah Tai's house, it's really quite a cosy cove... simply furnished, it's how i'd like my home to be in the future... simple and not cluttered, quite on the other end of what my room is like now... geez...
Managed to get off from working today... i had to work yesterday and it was such a busy day... thank goodness my two lovely colleagues swept and mopped the floor yesterday, if not, i swear i would have fainted in the midst of my job... kept screwing up and felt so sick... wasn't feeling that bad initially, but after working, i realised that it just made it worse... bleh... nursing a sore throat and a flu now... as well as an aching body...
However, thanks to the break from work, i can go watch Dan play in his match later at Clementi... a blessing in disguise u say? Haha... not exactly...
Dan's already bought my X'mas present... it's something totally unexpected... due to it's size, he had to reveal it to me... and partly due to my incessant bugging as well... but i haven't gotten him anything! i do have something in mind... going to check it out later... but not sure if i will have the time and energy to complete it before X'mas... haha...
Anyways, to my dear school mates reading this... i'll see u guys in sch tmr! haha...

...
I'm at Danny's house now and he's still sleeping like a baby while i'm already up and about...
Went over to play pool with Zhao Yan and Dan yesterday at Bukit Timah... was quite boring cos i think we all weren't in the mood to play... as they will tell you that that's why they kept missing their shots...
Went to have lunch at Al-Ameen after that and Xie Jun came over to join us... left Zhao Yan in the hands of her friends... haha... anyways, made our way down to Tiong Bahru cos he had training there... watched them play and got the good news that Taufik won... hehe... cool... but too bad i didn't get to watch him sing in the finals... not fretting though, i'm sure Ch 5 will have an encore telecast of it soon enough...
Went to have dinner at 632, bringing Dan's nephew along... met up with Zhao Yan there... went over to get the big cat from Xie Jun and then to Zhao Yan's house to play with Goofy... BB was so cute... he was so afraid to touch Goofy but so wanted to pet him... he was asking us to hold him while he petted him and hugged him... haha... so cute... and Goofy kept licking him in the face... they're almost of the same height while standing... haha... adorable man...
Going over to Ah Tai's home for dinner later... i wanna see his hamsters! haha... all right, time to bathe and go out soon...
