i was tagged

2007-04-29T18:14:00.000+08:00

EACH PLAYER OF THIS GAME STARTS OFF WITH 10 WEIRD THINGS, HABITS, OR LITTLE KNOWN FACTS ABOUT ONESELF. PEOPLE WHO GET TAGGED MUST WRITE IN THEIR BLOG 10 WEIRD THINGS, HABITS, OR FACTS, AS WELL AS STATE THIS RULE CLEARLY. AT THE END, YOU MUST CHOOSE SIX PEOPLE TO BE TAGGED AND LIST THEIR NAMES. NO TAG-BACKS!

1. when i eat vegetables, i'll get fever the next day. haha!

2. i've always wanted to be a cashier cos i like to key the buttons and hear the 'beep' sound. oh! and the whole slashing of the card and all. yeah yeah!

3. i've always knew that i'll be married before 21 years old. i don't know how i knew, but i just knew. hehe.

4. i enjoy being the housewife. i can totally stay home and do nothing but household chores everyday!

5. i'm more of the morning person than a night person. i get grouchy at night when it's past my bedtime. yes, i have a relatively sensitive inbuilt alarm clock.

6. and because of number 5, i always wake up at roughly the time i need to get up. like say i forget to set the hp alarm at 6.15am, i'll still wake up at around 6.15am, naturally! haha.

7. like my sister, i can be so freakin' lazy that no matter how urgent i am, i'll move my lips and make it known to everyone but never will i move my legs to head to the toilet. i can also be so lazy that no matter how hungry or thirsty i am, i'll just do nothing about it.

8. i can sit and watch everything on tv all day long, repeat or not. commercials or drama serials or variety shows. in english or other language. haha! anything.

9. i'm a media student that doesn't really respect and feel a need to have the macbook. the school's been so preachy about it, it's such a turn off.

10. i enjoy baby talk with my hubs. hehe. it's fun and it relives alot of stress. i love acting like a baby with him! haha.

I tag:
i don't usually get tag, so i have no idea who to tag. so just whoever that wants to do this, ok? :)

the little rabbit

2007-04-15T19:00:00.000+08:00

my younger sister likes this little rabbit alot, so here it is! for her viewing pleasure. haha!

look what i found!

2007-04-12T15:01:00.000+08:00

around the time when my maid first arrive. probably a year or so with us already. haha.

from left to right: myself, evelyn, felix and da jie

now.. where did my eyebrows go after a decade odd years??? hahaha!

sometime back

2007-04-11T14:11:00.000+08:00

haha. i found this picture while browsing through all my folders looking for pictures taken with my maid. this was taken sometime in december, when my elder sister returned during her holidays.

now, why's this picture special?

well, simply because my sister's seldom home for dinner! - muchless stay home the entire day! haha!

yes, a moment so rare.. we didn't even realised her presence until sean and i got to the dining table and was shock to see her there, seated and eating away! at around 8pm! haha!

my brother was the brilliant photographer cos he refused to be in the picture. haha! and we JUST had to have a proof to show my mother that she was home for dinner. haha!

overcome by sadness

2007-04-07T23:03:00.000+08:00

i'm a whiny, whiny girl. and i'm whining more than my younger sister. but no amount of whining will get me my way...

i don't want my maid to go home for good.

fond memories

blahs

2007-03-27T14:31:00.000+08:00

it's been almost a week since i've last started work on the mini project. currently trying to drain more brain juices but nothing seems to be coming out after working on it for the last one and half hour plus.

hmmm...

anyway, just realised that if this doesn't work out, i can write a book out of the entire thing! haha. 4 stories, one book. OR 4 stories, 4 books. lol.

yayness!

2007-03-24T18:11:00.001+08:00

today marks us being together for 2 years and 8 months.

5 days later, it'll be 1 year and 5 months after our solemnization, legally binding us together.

and 16 days from today, it'll be the 4th month since we held our customary wedding, gaining recognition as a married couple to all.

never lesser than yesterday, but definitely more tomorrow
that's how much love i have for you :)

boo!

2007-03-20T17:43:00.000+08:00

haha.

okies. little updates.

currently, i'm working on a mini project with deanie and hubs dear :) hopefully i can get my part done in 2 weeks time (i'm left with only 12-13 days!) and then deanie can start and finish her part and eventually baby's turn. what a vicious cycle! haha.

so! if i don't move, the whole project can't move. and if the whole project can't move, all our dreams will go POP!

sigh

so now i'm pushing myself, hard as i might to get it over and done with - it won't be a slipshod job k! *promise*

now, am i glad or am i glad that PP is out of sight. (ok, not quite, i have yet gotten my assessment date.)

changes

2007-03-15T16:27:00.000+08:00

i've made some changes to my blog. but i'm not sure why it's not showing. the codes are all there but somehow they are all just not showing as yet.

anyways, the tagboard has been replaced with chatango. haha. so whoever wants to talk to me will just have to wait for me to be online and logged onto chatango. if not, well.. haha. wait for me to be.

the other day when i was updating my baby, paris's blog, it took quite a long while before the new entry was shown.. hmm...

is the new blogger at work again?

i just can't let it go

2007-03-14T18:43:00.000+08:00

no matter what, this is still my blog. haha.

and no matter how harsh some people were with me blogging about my life a while back - married or not - i just can't simply give this part of my life up. not just yet, anyway.

afterall, not all people who are close to me owns a livejournal account to view my current entries there. when i read my sister's blog and realised that my mother is reading hers and all, part of me thought is she reading mine too? and if she is, what if i suddenly stop and she no longer know my inner thoughts?

some things are easier to convey through words rather than through speech.

so for those people out there, who find that me getting married to him is offensive to you and that me blogging about it is a big turn off to you, may i suggest that you continue on your future venture of blog-hopping without mine included in your itinerary? it saves both you and i the trouble.

so while i continue posting here (though i suspect it won't be as regularly esp. since it's now google version and i'm getting used to the change in the appearance) i won't be putting back the chatterbox and i still stand firm that i'm not an irresponsible blogger. afterall, i'm only blogging about my life and rants.

and not discriminating anyone of any race or religion :)

466 SAR MR Parade

2007-02-03T21:25:00.000+08:00

baby brought me to his MR Parade today! haha. well, he is not an MR yet cos he hasn't completed his reservist serving yet. he still 2 more high key operation thing to go, i think. haha. but oh wells, it was rather fun in the beginning when we just arrived! haha.

in the beginning, i had thought that all MR parades will be the same so i said, let's not take any photos until it is his MR parade. but later on, he told me that this would probably be the grandest MR parade cos his unit had been the Best NS Armour Unit for 5 years and that he will have a silent step-down as the unit he's posted to for the last 2 resevist won't have any MR anytime soon. and cos i came unprepared, we relied on my 2megapix hp camera for the many delightful pictures! haha.

and man, army sure knows how to dull up the 3 cheers of hurray. haha.

according to baby, this was the vehicle that he had moved out in several times throughout his entire NS period! haha. he told me the place he sat, what items go where and even the history of the tank! haha. so this was the only vehicle we took photos with. hehe.

we tried to take photos with the tank, camwhore style. sad to say, although i'm really good at putting ourselves into the picture, i couldn't do the same for his tank. haha.

here's the inside of the tank. baby's standing on the side where he always sits and he's always sitting nearest to the opening.

here's me and baby inside the tank, through another opening! from the top! haha. i bruised myself while getting in. in the top picture, those things on the left are like those machine gun stuff. haha. and in the lower picture, he got his campmate to help us take a picture together and it captured a really stunned old man! hehe. oh yah, when i complained so much about how dirty the tank was, but baby and his campmate said that this is a very clean tank already. omg la! haha.

top picture was taken when we were bored stiff and hiding in the shade. haha! and bottom, we joined his company at the eating area, and i was bored la! haha. oh yah, the vehicle on the left right, it's the same tank as mentioned above! haha.

still at the same spot, but with a different view. behind us is actually a running track and soccer field, where they played games and all. haha. i re took cos in the first pic, half my face was hidden behind him. my bad! haha.

here's the parade! haha. i only took photo of his company - Charlie, previously known as Cheetah. he said his company never liked the new name Charlie cos it sounds gay to them. haha. they prefer Cheetah cos it's more aggressive. haha! MEN! the second picture is blur cos i maxed out the zoom on my camera to try to capture a photo of my baby. i've circled him out! haha. proud to say that my baby stood really still throughout! while others fidgeted obviously! haha. oh yah, he also told me that he's always placed on the front for parades cos he's one of the rare few that could stand still throughout + his uniform is always neat. cool!

the 466 SAR MR Parade banners! 466 SAR 10 Years ICT (in-camp training) Excellence Unsurpassed!

the building where baby slept whenever he's in camp. haha! and the place where they wash their boots cos they can't enter any rooms with dirty boots! haha.

heading home! i was curious where the other people got this 466 SAR cap, so i asked baby and he said it was in the goodie bag that i didn't want to look at. haha! so i immediately grabbed it and wore it! haha!

mynah bird project

2007-02-02T20:32:00.000+08:00

a stupid mynah disrupted the talk my sister and i were having, while she took a photo, i took a video.

the only people around when the commotion took place, my elder sis (clara, who screamed with me), my maid (who tried desperate ways to chase the bird out - so sorry i didn't capture it!) and my younger sister (who was happily eating her dinner and watching us act like clowns, screaming and running around the living room). HAHA.

the video is very short only because i think either i press the wrong button while fleeing OR my screams hit decibles so high that the video can't take it and it turned off. i think it's the former. meanwhile, here's the photo my sister took and the video i screamed into, of the mynah perched on the thing that holds the curtains up. haha! oh btw, those are clean clothes. haha!

expression of form

2007-02-02T09:21:00.000+08:00

last night had been fun. but i am dreadfully tired and exhausted.

had stayed back after school to complete the artwork cos we refused to return and work on it again.

so audrey, ray and i (together with deanie for a little while) we worked and played until 730pm. haha! then we head over to causeway point and had dinner at pastamania before running to popular to buy some stuff. then we dragged ourselves to the interchange and headed home.

pictures will be up soon. somehow. haha. i'm too lazy and tired.

fuckit

2007-01-29T08:57:00.000+08:00

i have a jolly good reason for being anti-social.

and i don't have to explain it to anyone at all.

studio photography

2007-01-27T20:25:00.000+08:00

this week, it's all about studio photography - OUR FAVOURITE! haha. this has got to be the only module where we have the RIGHTS to CAMWHORE! haha!

i photoshopped us into a rainy situation.

here's the ultra camwhore crew. meet audrey (in black), deanie (front), myself (back), and song (the guy)

here's a super exposed shot of myself which audrey took. it's actually one of my favourite! haha.

last week's news

2007-01-27T15:41:00.000+08:00

i tend to forget some things when other more important things pop up. just remember that over the last weekend, when i had the school's slr with me, i took photos of my little paris. haha.

you can see them all here, at her blog.

haha!

just when i thought..

2007-01-26T20:35:00.000+08:00

first of all.. YAY! mr wong is booking out tonight!

he had called me around 7pm and told me that he might be booking out tonight, probably at 8pm. but then, when 30minutes pass 8pm, i thought oh fuck, he's not booking out tonight and he won't be able to contact me cos he doesn't have his hp (remember the hp had to be surrendered?)

and just when i was about to come on and start whining away about how much i miss him, he called! haha!

he's booking out! WEEE!!

the convo went something like that..

me: hello
him: hello baby, i'm booking out already. now walking towards the carpark
me: eh! can book out ar! i thought pass 8pm means cannot already!
him: why? don't want me to book out ar? then i go back lah!
me: eh! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! you come back now, now, NOW!
him: ahahaha! i knew it. ok, give me a while before i reach
me: OKOKOKOK!!

but the poor boy has to book in again tomorrow morning, but he's willing to wake up early and drive back and forth cos his darling baby, ME!, can't sleep without him around. haha!

okies. i'm acting like some secondary school kid. fuck stereotype. i'm in love.

let the pictures speak

2007-01-26T08:50:00.000+08:00

yesterday, at the journalism talk...

audrey, myself and deanie did a bit of camwhoring before it started. not that bad, we got freebies from bloomberg cos we asked questions. haha! may wong, donna cheng and hazlina hamin (don't know if i got their names spelt right) came to talk to us.

and for dinner last night...

baby checked into the army camp today and i took this early in the morning at like 6+ in the morning before we left the house. and best thing of all, he had to surrender his hp cos of the 1.3megapix camera. so the minute he books out (like don't know when), we're going to like change his hp to the one without camera that we found somewhere in our house last night. haha!

missing my baby! tonight! or tomorrow! crossing my fingers that he'll be out!

with love

2007-01-25T10:05:00.000+08:00

baby and i went to the club for dinner again because he had to go to mph and popular to look for textbooks for his school. haha! but it was fun! we feasted again!

lovely weekend

2007-01-23T19:59:00.000+08:00

this was my weekend.

friday. took photos for the Mr & Miss RP semi-finalists. and this was what went on, really. haha!

credits to AUDREYpodrey who kindly posted the photos, while i'm wayyyy too lazy to. haha!

and then on saturday, bowled for like 6 hours = 10 games, only to miss out on 3rd place by a mere 23 pinfalls. KNS. but oh wells, i did win the high game for ladies', with a pathetic 199.

overall, alvin and i enjoyed ourselves thoroughly! haha. especially since both our partners were around AND, he came in SECOND while i got all the lucky draw prizes i wanted! TOASTER! (my brother won it and gave it to me) DOUGHMAKER! (i won the 8th lucky draw prize!) SANDWICH MAKER! (high game prize + $10 shopping voucher)

Cheers!

alvin and i! (i borrowed the trophy from someone else to take photos with. HAHA!)

vin's, not mine. I WISH I HAD IT! looks so cute!

not this time

2007-01-19T13:25:00.000+08:00

the past few days/weeks, i've been getting whatever i want. and whatever i want, mr. darling wong will give.

but not this time.

and it's not even because he said no.

heard about this theatre performance from my facilitator and i was just trying my luck to see if baby was willing to go watch. surprisingly, he said let's go tonight!

BUT. there were no tickets for tonight, unless we plan to sit alone.

then he said, try tomorrow's. so i did. and the only available seats in pairs were the $50 seatings.

if the seats had been in the middle and not at the side, i would've forced him to get the tickets. but DAMNIT! the seats are dead corner. absolutely NOT WORTH the $50 that we'll have to pay if we go. i know because i've been to quite a few places to watch theatre performances and side is not the way to go, unless it's cheap beyond dollars and cents.

oh wells. i guess i should look forward to the phantom of the opera play. but damnit! phantom is not going to hilarious like this one

overload

2007-01-18T15:37:00.000+08:00

i know it's a serious overload of pics already. BUT. we just took these today and i'm proud to display them!

cam-whoring after our work was done! more was actually taken, but the damn memory card was faulty and everything was erased! damnit! we only took the poses that we remembered and then we rushed back to class! haha.

ENJOY!

the four people in the group! (actually there's one more, but she's negligible) top, deanie and i. bottom, audrey and song de.

suppose to be like those tribal tribal thinggy.

hear, speak, see no evil! o0ps.

sa-wa-di-ka!

normal pose

say cheese retards!

pigsy pout :*

the proud foursome, who's probably going to deal with the magazine together. haha!

credits to the tripod, camera and song's finger for the photos!

to shop and to feast!

2007-01-18T08:21:00.000+08:00

mr. darling wong bought me a pierre cardin card-holder like mini wallet! He say it's an early valentine's day present. Haha! LOVE IT! wee-o-weet! i love the end of the year and beginning of another, i always get surprise gifts! wahaha!

and cos yesterday was a wednesday, a day where everyone else goes about their own business and dinner is settled outside, baby suggested going to the club to eat! but in the end, we end up eating more than we expected and for some reason, we just want to keep ordering and eating! haha.

oh yes!! to celebrate hub's newfound job! yay! a good and hearty meal for a good start and fulfilling new career! (at the expense of my parents) just check out the list!

1. Western Soup of the Day
2. Seafood Platter
3. Crispy Ngoh Hiong
4. Satay Chicken (half dozen)
5. Satay Mutton (half dozen)
6. Chicken Wings (4 pieces)
7. Potato Wedges with Cheese
8. Banana Boat Ice Cream

we weren't exactly planning to order a variety of food, we had initially both wanted to just order the soup of the day and a main course, Grilled Chicken Turnover, but when we browsed through the menu, we changed our mind and went crazy ordering! haha. however, i must state clearly that we finished EVERYTHING except for the potato wedges and like 3 sticks of satay. haha.

TIME CHECK! we sat down and ordered our food at 6.40pm. and when we left, it was 5 minutes past 8pm. haha. Are we amazing eaters or what!? We had so much food, the both of us were so stuffed and sleepy. haha. goodness me! but this lifestyle is good. me likey likey! we decided that we should pig out at least once a week! hahaha! this is LIFE! (this saturday, ONE MORE TIME! with more people! please&thankyou)

the following are some age old photos which i had been meaning to put up but time and again forgot to. Haha. Oops.

New year's day dinner at mum's place. STEAMBOAT!

Random shots taken with THE DOG CALLED PARIS. Haha. Above is while sean was playing his game on xbox360 and paris accompanying him. note: hands are raised above head due to spontaneous jump and possibility of pressing of wrong buttons initiated by PARIS. haha. and below, paris and i hiding in the bedroom while other people were outside *wink* haha.

expect the unexpected

2007-01-17T15:23:00.000+08:00

please do not hit me for posting your pictures here.

today's theme : the unexpected

deanie and i went around school walking aimlessly looking for unexpecting thing to take. and ta-da! here are random people who just so happened to be the subject of my pictures. haha.

sorry for not paying royalties! :P

i like this shot but.. i just wanted to quickly snap a shot, thinking my focus was alright. immediately after this shot, the guy walked away. oops.

this shot, i tell you.. the only thing i'm unhappy about is the big glass thing at the corner, otherwise... NOW YOU KNOW WHERE GIRLS GO WHEN THEY SAY THEY'RE GOING TO THE TOILET! haha. *click to enlarge*

heart heart

2007-01-16T20:11:00.000+08:00

wedding day photos

2007-01-03T14:06:00.000+08:00

out of all the many hundreds of photos, here's a summarised 300 - which the photographer had edited and put together, but i had to resize and upload.

In Thumbnails | As a Slideshow (Auto) | As a Slideshow (Manual)

2006, it's a wrap

2007-01-01T00:00:00.000+08:00

ahh, everyone's writing about their goodbyes to 2006 and saying hello to 2007, so the cliche me is going to do the exact same thing. haha!

i'd have to say, between 2005 and 2006, i've changed a lot! haha. not only do i find myself sitting at home more often, wanting to spend more time with my family and catch up with old friends, i have also found myself to be more tolerant and understanding towards almost everything! (or at least i try to)

BUT! the highlight of this year besides getting my license and driving up to school is that everyone witness the marriage of mr darling wong and i! :)

i guess as long as i have my babe with me i shouldn't have much of a problem to deal with all the many more new year's coming up! :)

cheers ya'll!

p.s. my new year's resolution is NO RESOLUTION!

pasta la drama mama

2006-12-28T20:19:00.000+08:00

internet was a bit unstable the last few days so whatever i entered have disappeared and forgetful me has no idea what i had typed so i'll just keep it short and sweet and whatever i can remember. haha!

went to meet up with my drama peeps on wednesday evening. only 4 people turned up. while i went to meet up with them, sean went on to help me buy CDs! YAY!

heard and saw the video of her song public affair and fell in love! haha. welcome back pop music! haha.

lost this CD and decided i need it back again. the songs on this CD accompanied me to school during my first year in RP. haha.

call me a tweenie-pop-music-lover but the songs here are rather catchy and i love it.

i'm a pop-girl!

haha.

and proud of it :)

as agreed :)

2006-12-26T21:24:00.000+08:00

the eve of eve, sean and i headed to alvin's Diva's X'Mas '06 but we wanted quite a long while before the whole even started. we reached around 7.15pm and waited till past 7.30pm before deciding we should go to changi village to eat first. haha! halfway through our food, got a call from cedric that the food at the function room has been served. after our dinner, we walked back to the place and casper called to tell us the event is starting! haha. so yes, no videography or photography were allowed, and apparently i was the only one that complied to that rule because flashes from cameras and the 'click' sounds from handphones were going off throughout the time we were there. haha! see, i'm so guai. but anyways, we had to leave early because of a couple of reasons mould into one.

on christmas eve, we spent the evening over at my aunt's place in the west. i drove up just in case there's a need to check the map for the location, while sean drove home. when it comes to reading map, sean's faster. when it comes to listening and following directions, i'm faster. haha! nice pairing, eh?

anywho, i made sushi to contribute to the pot luck! haha. dinner was good, except with some really irritating aunties (from my aunt's husband's side of the family) testing my patience when i arrived.

i went to the kitchen to slice my sushi and this woman came and said,

Woman: Aiyoh, don't cut already. we all had our dinner already!
Me: oh, i'm just cutting for myself and my husband *smiles*
Woman (hand picking off the pieces of sushi i just sliced): aiyoh, don't cut too much la. later cannot finish cannot keep you know!
My Aunt: Yah, don't cut so much. there's somemore sushi outside. you never tell me you bringing sushi! haiyo!
Me: I know how to make and i wanted to eat what
My Aunt: aiyoh! my sister in law also know how to make! just say mah!
Me: I prefer to eat the ones i make for myself *smiles as real as possible*
My Aunt: aiyoh, she make one very professional one! Aiyoh, stop cutting liao la! *hands picks off my sliced sushi*
Me (tone louder than normal): You keep taking, I have to keep cutting right? If not, I eat what?? (cuts finish the rest, snatch those 'leftovers' and left)

in the end, my sushi was all finished and the so-called SIL's one (which is bought, btw) had plenty of leftovers. according to my aunt, i should have added vinegar to my sushi rice but that's the main reason why my sushi was more popular than the other - no vinegar, children-friendly :) haha.

had our dinner together with other members of our side of the family and talked and laughed. at one point, my younger cousin - evelyn, drank a whole glass of champagne without realising what she thought it was. she had thought what she drank was zapple! without fizzle! haha. she threw up twice just before we left, even though throughout the evening she was high and crazy. haha.

after dinner, before the puke-saga, the few of us, my 2 cousins (evelyn and yuting), elder sis - clara, my brother - felix, sean and myself, headed for fresh air and walked to the nearby 7-11 and spent quite a while there before heading back, sitting for a while then running home! haha.

this is the last and final time i'm going to spend christmas with that horrible side of the family. i told sean, and he agreed, that the next time they have a gathering together, we're going to have our own and see who goes to who's. haha! betcha i'll have all the cool people over at my place! haha.

Merry Christmas

2006-12-25T23:26:00.000+08:00

hello!

season's greetings!

haha. i have the wedding dinner photos already, as well as christmas celebration photos but am too busy to deal with them as yet.

will have it up soon!

promise!

long entry ahead

2006-12-23T01:15:00.000+08:00

my brother, sean and i headed to the club to play tennis again! haha. it's only our second time playing together and we're already damn pro. haha. and i think it's already a routine to end the game with the tennis ball flying out of the building and into the little "forest" beneath. this time, it was my brother who hit it out.

also, my brother killed a bug while playing tennis. one moment i saw the bug flying, next moment, when i was picking the ball my brother shot towards me and i couldn't return the shot, i saw the bug lying on the floor, with juice all spilt out. we forgot to take a picture of it. haha! but hey! tennis is so fun! especially since there are no old uncles disturbing us like they did on tuesday when we went to play badminton with my dad. haha!

after tennis, and nice long shower, we had dinner with the rest of the family! sonia, mum and dad went swimming while felix, sean and i were playing tennis. clara was watching us play tennis at the rooftop cos she had no other entertainment after her gym.

fun, fun, fun!

after dinner, clara went off to meet her friends and the rest of us head home. dad went to watch his tv, sean went to play his online game and felix, mum and i went to play mahjong! haha. and i'll sinfully say that my brother and i were bullying my mother cos she had just learnt it like yesterday. haha! so fun. and we've agreed that we shall play every single day for at least one hour! haha. finally! we have a full 4 players for mahjong. haha. last night, it was just felix, clara and myself.

mahjong freaks!! haha. soon, sonia will join us. and i'll influence sean to learn too! haha. then we can have 2 tables with dad joining us noobs! haha! oh! oh! and if my grandparents really moves into the neighbourhood (their area is being en-bloc), we'll have 3 mahjong pros (grandparents + dad) making us noobs shit in our pants!

haha! so cool!

and! sean's younger brother came over to our place to celebrate an early christmas over white wine and cocktail finger food (as he calls it) which he fried at our place. delicious! yum yum :P

friday family-bonding has never been any more fun!

note to self: tomorrow (or rather today), alvin's christmas party! sunday, family gathering (need to be extremely properly dressed - no peek-a-boo of pelvic bone!). wednesday, long awaited gathering with drama peeps :) friday, tennis again! (YAY!)

new skin

2006-12-20T02:45:00.000+08:00

with the lovely help from deanie, i was finally able to get this blog up and running!

the two of us were staring at our screens (she's at her place, and i'm at my mum's) wondering what the hell went wrong with the codes, cos the lazy me decided to take skins from blogskins.com and just copy and paste. and in the process, i came across two skins that had things that i wanted so i combined them. haha.

so after who knows how long, deanie - my darling savior of the day! - typed

sixteen.gerriedean says:
DONE!!!
found it!

THANKS, DEANIE!! i owe you one :)

so on to the reason why i decided to change my blogskin. cos i've decided to change my style of blogging! haha.

here's what i actually wanted to blog about, leading to me changing my blogskin :P

just after the car was tied down with the wedding decorations.
kinda feminized the car, right? haha!
taken on 8th dec. wedding dinner was on 9th.
wedding dinner photos to be up when i finally get them.
god knows when that'll be

taken with his new handphone!
bought him a nokia 5500 sports for christmas : )
taken yesterday! just after we got everything up and running on the hp.

notice the looooooooooong pictures. haha. that's the reason why.

from now on, as long as there are pictures, random or related, i'm putting all of them up. haha!

p.s. apologise to you sis. sorry for snapping at you when you offered to help. but at that point, i was thinking you won't understand what i'm saying since i've been helping you with your blogskin all the while (before you did it on your own) instead of you helping me. so yah. sorry :)

2006-12-19T13:44:00.000+08:00

yesterday, when sean went back to school to give out the 'N' level results i went to tampines mall to get the christmas present for him!

originally, poor lil' old me was only thinking of getting him a nokia 3250 but when they told me it was no longer in production (cos of the new music edition) i was bummed. then i decided to just heck the price and buy whatever i think suits him, since this is the same way he spends on my birthday and whatever occasions i deem gift-worthy. haha!

so in the end, i got him a nokia 5500 sport. a simple and durable phone with stainless steel covering. and since it's a sports edition phone, i suppose it should last longer than all his other phones. haha! and because it is either in stainless steel or rubber covering it means lesser scratch marks, lesser 'peeling' of covering and extremely boyish! haha. i'm really happy with the purchase : ) now to make sure he doesn't find out the price. haha. am so glad he likes it too! hehe.

after getting the christmas gift, i went on to have my hair done (omg! so freakin' tai tai) had it cut short and rebonded.

why rebond when it's already short?? cos when my hair gets too short, it tends to curl. haha.

but i like the new do. sean likes it too! he say it makes me look younger than i already am. haha. my maid thinks so too. only my mom had something a little negative to say. she said it looks flat, but i say give it a while! by friday, my hair will be divalicious! haha.

the socialite me has alvin's Divas X'mas 06 party on saturday! and sunday, family gathering+party! hehe. fun fun fun!

and the following week, wednesday gathering with my drama peeps. it's been a while :) a long long while. hehe.

can't wait!

tennis

2006-12-16T19:13:00.000+08:00

yesterday, sean and i played table tennis and tennis with my brother. and let me tell you one thing. we rock at them. HAHA.

and never ever say that i can't hit the tennis ball out of the entire area, cos that's what happened to the final shot.

i hit the ball up and over the rooftop tennis court and it vanished into god-knows-where.

haha.

fun!

we're doing it again next week and after and after!! it's our new thing now! :D

Christmas Wishlist

2006-12-12T22:59:00.000+08:00

1. My own record
(you know tampines, they have a studio where they let people record songs? yes, i wanna record my own album, but i want someone else to pay for it. HAHA!)

2. My first car
(Chevrolet Aveo *hint* this will take a while to realise but oh wells, no harm wishing!)

3. Many more nice dresses!
(a lady can never have too many clothes. AND don't buy it for me, BRING me along when you're buying it!)

4. More shoes/heels/flats!
(a lady can never have too many of any! AND REMEMBER! don't just buy it for me, BRING me along when you're buying it!)

5. More tops!
(i repeat, a lady can never have too many of any! AND NEVER, EVER FORGET!!! don't leave me at home when you're out buying it!)

-

P.S.

NO MORE ACCESSORY PARTS AS GIFTS!
(please please please, no more buying of bits and pieces here and there to add to my already warehouse size accessory parts. it's no longer a business business. it's just a hobby! i'd prefer a red packet than anymore of these!!! Look above if you have no idea what to get me.

THANKS!

A Baby.

2006-12-05T20:56:00.000+08:00

just checked my results.

and surprise surprise!

the module that i thought i would do well is just a little above average.

BUT the one that shocked me the most is Character Design!

not exactly my favourite module, but it ain't my most hated one either, yet it's one that i'm seriously doing really well in. talk about improving from one UT to another. from B to B+ to A. haha. A+ anyone??? :P

gone and no more?

2006-12-05T19:45:00.000+08:00

i just realised i lost quite a number of CDs.

:(

i want them back!

2006-12-03T23:23:00.000+08:00

today was spent walking arond town and bugis, buying loads of stuff. haha.

first, sean and i headed to meet my two cousins to shop for my male cousin's outfit to be worn on my wedding. haha. he ended up buying 2 shirts, 2 ties, a pair of pants and a belt. then he had to rush off to his school as he has a project to finish.

so it was left with sean, myself and my female cousin. just when my male cousin left, my mum called to say she's done with her swimming and foot reflexology. perfect timing! haha. so we walked from town to bugis to meet my mother. haha. yes, we walked and it was so fun! haha! we stopped by a few shops cos the forever-digressing me keeps spotting cute things along the way. we stopped by this shop to try on a few cheongsums (and i wanna get one!) and other dresses. SO WANNA GET THEM!

then, my mother called to say she has reached, so i thrust the phone to sean to get him to answer. somehow, when he says he's late, my mother would be less pissed for having to wait. haha. then my elder sister called to say that she has also reached bugis (and she came from causeway point) so we rush like mad and stopped looking at things. haha!

browsed around OG cos my mother was looking for clothes to my wedding, but she couldn't decide what to get. she only knew what she didn't want to get. haha. so she gave up and she end up buying levis for my elder sister and i. i was only getting it as a on-the-way. my elder sis was the one who wanted them. so she got 2 pairs of jeans, and i got one. skinny jeans, babe! and toys for my little cousins as christmas gifts and a tiny toy car my younger sister wanted.

then my brother and younger sister followed my dad home, while the rest of us continued shopping. haha. then we walked back to bugis, cos my sis said the dress she wanted to wear to my wedding was at GG<5. there, i saw a tube dress, very very pretty, and i went to try it own as well. my mum saw that both the dresses looked nice on us so decided to buy them both! wahaha. but sadly, my sister's dress didn't have a new piece and the one she tried on had a little tear on the zip. she's trying to get them to repair it by this friday. only if they can repair by then would they sell it. so mum only bought my tube dress.

so we shopped somemore to look for other dresses, just in case. but none caught my sister's eye. so we decided to have some snack as well as rest our feet. after that, my sister left to buy her laptop at expo, while my mum, cousin, sean and myself walked around further. then mum decided to try dorothy perkins, to see if she can find anything there. in the end, we walked out of the shop buying me a tunic dress. wahaha! my mum couldn't get anything she like. oh yah, my mum bought my cousin a top from fox too!

after that, we went to the bridal shop to try on the gowns again, as well as match the accessories with the gowns. then my cousin tried her gown as well. then we collected our wedding album and everything else before heading home on a cab.

man! we walked like 7-8 hours today?? lol. but it was fun!

Urban Landscape

2006-11-29T15:18:00.000+08:00

i meant to put these up last week, but i guess it slipped my mind. haha.

anyways! i got A for all these! :)

stuffed nose and aircon

2006-11-28T15:05:00.000+08:00

i am sick. haha.

anyway, yesterday on my way to school, a traffic police in the new wrx drove pass and stayed next to me. he was matching my speed, and lord, i have no idea how fast i was going because the speedometer is down. haha.

i just saw, at the corner of my eye, a white car with orange stripes and so i turned and looked. when i meet in the eye with the traffic police (he was wearing shades), i was scared stiff. i became red, i could feel it!

then i turned back to face the road, cos i'm not suppose to look at the side too much. i also slowed down a little bit la, just in case. haha. then i realise he was still driving next to me, so i turned again, in case he wants me to pull over. so i turned and looked at him once more, but he just looked at me (NOT SMILING. FREAKY!) and cos my exit was coming up, i cut through other lanes and left, while the traffic police sped off.

i got a feeling that when the traffic police saw my p-plate, he just had to check if i'm doing anything wrong. HAHA. TOO BAD. i'm one heck of a safety driver. haha.

wee-o-weet! my sister is coming back tonight!

speak only of the worthy, not the worthless

2006-11-18T17:57:00.000+08:00

cos that's what i learnt today

car troubled

2006-11-16T19:25:00.000+08:00

yesterday, i left my laptop on top of the car roof and drove down the spiral carpark (4 floors), onto the main road and entered the expressway. midway, a driver of an orange car horn at me and kept pointing upwards. i thought the roof was out of alignment (removable) so i just ignore him and drove away (i was going at at least 85km/hr) then he caught up with me and signal to me again, then he signal to ask me to pull over. so i pulled over to the road shoulder and was thinking of what he was gesturing at. then when i turned around to check if my items were in tact, i realised that my laptop wasn't there! i got out of the car and turned around. my laptop! goodness me! thanks to the kind hearted driver in the orange, i think, mazda2.

today, however, were road buggers. two motorcyclists were 'harassing' me when i was driving on the expressway. they saw me coming and slowed down their bikes. then they circled around me, driving from in front, back and sides of the car very near. then when i slowed down the car, they changed the lane and went past me. later on, when i saw the two bikes ahead, they slowed down their bikes and did the same thing again. this went on a few times of me slowing down etc. the whole thing. i was petrified! only when i swop lanes to exit the expressway did they disappear for good.

goodness me lah!

step up

2006-11-07T17:08:00.000+08:00

special preview tickets thanks to my aunt. and it's tonight!

just sean, myself and my brother.

mad traveling

2006-11-06T14:10:00.000+08:00

last thursday, i made my way from school all the way to a camp in lim chu kang area, way past the cemetry - like seriously end of the road end of the road kind. haha. the kind where you can't even get decent reception and gets transferred to a malaysia network. haha. to meet sean, who was having a school camp.

then on friday, i made my way from school to raffles city for the biennele thing, where sean came to meet me. haha.

and today, i have to make my way to my aunt's office near maxwell marketto collect movie preview tickets to Step Up. haha. yay!

omg la. i just hope there's enough petrol to last till i get home, boy.

the most irritating MAN alive

2006-10-22T20:02:00.000+08:00

i'm not talking about sean. i'm talking this guy from a forumn i visited.

first, i thought he was a SHE, cos of all the questions he asked - just like a girl would when purchasing an items.

then, when i refuse to have any other forms of contact besides through the forumn, he became anal and all.

after i decided to give the number, still thinking he was a SHE, i got a shock when i heard a man's voice over the phone.

what's up with calling me up every single damn day just to tell me when he's going to transfer the money or that he can't transfer at the time stated and when transfer at blah blah.

FUCK!

i already said very clearly, JUST LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU DO TRANSFER THE MONEY.

what kind of fucked up guy is this? i'm not even obliged or getting paid to buy the birkenstocks for him okay. bloody fucker. i'm so pissed off that i feel like just telling him to get someone else to buy for him. fuck.

what a freakin' pain in the ass!

Important Annoucement!

2006-10-16T23:25:00.000+08:00

Hello Everyone!

Great news!

I'll be selling my items, together with other creators from RP, at a pushcart in Vivocity from 20th-24th Oct! (Fri-Tues, 10am-11pm, I may or may not be there, but there'll be someone mending the pushcart)

For each and every item sold, a percentage of the profits would be donated to a charity organisation for children! :)

So come on down and do your bit for charity!

Cheers!

redeeming oneself

2006-10-15T17:15:00.000+08:00

i have recovered from last friday's loss and came back stronger!

bowled a series of 529 for 3 games (not very good la, but shut up) in the Changi-Simei GRC and came out tops for ladies high series :) feel so good. but damnit! the GRC couldn't afford trophies??? just vouchers. oh wells. not much to show for except a picture, which isn't with me.

anyways! that aside, i swop vouchers with my brother cos i would use his and he would use mine. haha. he won the 3rd prize in lucky draw, NTUC vouchers, and i got free bowling game vouchers.

we went for lunch at a nearby thai restaurant, Black Canyon. the food there is not too bad, not too costly as well. overall, worthy to go to and have a meal.

after lunch dad, my brother and myself went to NTUC and bought stuff! while mum and sis went to the library. haha. i bought all the necessities and more! wahaha. my dad topped up the rest. haha.

yay!

then my brother and i head over to parkway and got ourselves ice cream from Scoopz. DELICIOUS! then we walked over to meet my mum and sis (while dad continues wondering around) and i went for my first foot reflexology!

my YOUNGER sister was so calm and relaxed throughout the entire thing, while i was laughing out in both being pain and ticklish. damn! haha. that was the most torturous 40 minutes of my entire life! (so far)

and finally! after being out since 7am, i finally came home to my baby at 4.30pm! :)

now mum's preparing a feast! either to celebrate the win or she just feel like cooking. haha!

all bruised and wiped out

2006-10-14T14:05:00.000+08:00

i'm too lazy. just click to enlarge. if they are too dark, bleah - i'm too lazy!

fyi, i bowled shitty results so don't ask.

that's the time

2006-10-10T21:37:00.000+08:00

these were taken during the period when our baby paris was recovering from a scratch in the eye by a cat, thanks to an irresponsible act by another person.

really?

2006-10-08T18:16:00.000+08:00

See which Greek Goddess you are.

daydreaming

2006-10-04T15:36:00.000+08:00

songde took this as a candid shot and i like it!

and i took this for today's 'essence of RP at lunchtime'

this is also the shot that my group has submitted as an overall best shot taken :)

*click on image to enlarge!

wtf?

2006-10-03T09:40:00.000+08:00

story writing involves game crafting?

and it's the kung fu western genre?

even more wtf?

teammates, though not bad, but not very nice.

fuckit.

hi teacher

2006-09-30T22:48:00.000+08:00

today, sean told me about a tution assignment that required only female tutors and he told me to call and give it a go. and guess what! i'm now a tutor! :)

yay!

and i have had my first tuition session with my tutee already. lol.

my direction

2006-09-28T19:41:00.000+08:00

after today's class, i think i sort of know where i should be heading after i graduate.

i will try my best to get into the top percentile in rp, in order to enter a university. i will enroll myself into the degree field that offers writing.

i'm not cut out for making films, tv shows or advertisement (maybe except print adverts) i find that i enjoy and prefer very much to write instead.

i must say, although i don't really like the facilitator for my story writing module, it has to be the one module that i truly truly enjoy cos it's story writing!

oh yes, i can't drive to school for the next 2 weeks! :( sean has decided to send the car for new spray paint and necessary repairs. damn! i should be happy, but right........ hai yah.

make a story with these

2006-09-26T14:03:00.000+08:00

1. Box
2. Drawing
3. Asteroid
4. Elephant
5. Boa
6. Sheep
7. 8-612
8. Hat
9. Desert
10. Airplane

this was what i came up with

Joe was assigned for a highly secretive delivery of an asteroid that fell from the sky a few weeks ago to a hideaway laboratory for examinations and experiments. The asteroid is now placed in a box labeled Specimen B-612 and resting safe and locked away at the back cabin of the airplane.

Earlier, he was given a drawing of the route to the destination - a research and development centre in the desert - by one of the officers who had helped in removing the asteroid. Putting on his captain's hat, Joe signaled that he was ready to the officers, and took off.

Now, a few thousand feet above land and away from all possible human contact, Joe began hearing sounds that were similar to those made by an elephant calling. With the controls placed on auto-pilot, he picked up the only weapon he could find, a spanner, and walked cautiously towards the back to investigate.

He found on the passageway a trial of what appears to be a boa's shed skin. He followed the trial all the way to the back, where the asteroid was placed. Calling out loud to see if anyone's there, nobody responded. He then moved in closer, but saw nothing but a bag of sheep's wool behind the asteroid's box.

this was what my team decided on

"Win yourself a lifetime supply box filled with B-612 Asteroids! There's no other easier way to build muscles like Captain Inferno than with B-612 Asteroids! Just come down with your team of 3 to the centre groove and let's get it on!"

Elephant was at the most critical stage of his mid-life crisis; he had to win those asteroids in order to restore his youth and might, but how? He thought.

Pacing up and down impatiently, he heard a knock on his door. He was surprised to see his neighbors, Sheep and Boa, at his door.

"Will you cut it out? Your walking about is sending crazy vibrations to the entire forest!" Sheep said annoyingly, adjusting her crooked hat.

"What"s up, phant!" yelled the ever so chirpy and ignorant Boa.

Elephant contemplated before deciding to ask them for their help and the next thing they knew, they were holding a drawing of a map with a huge X that marked the spot.

Boarding the airplane bound to the site of the treasure hunt - the treacherous desert - they leave their home with hopes of finding the treasure, Elephant is very determined to get his hands on the prize, this would secure his lifetime dream of becoming strong and mighty again.

a little wish and hope

2006-09-24T21:52:00.000+08:00

i wish that my mother won't get overly worked up whenever i'm trying to have a casual yet much-needed affirmation talk with her. i wish that she would just listen to what i have to say and then respond to me accordingly. i do know life is hard, especially with 4 children, but all i had wanted were some much needed opinions and advice - not a sudden outburst. oh well.

and

i hope that i will be able to save and earn enough money to buy myself a car for my 21st birthday. don't tell me it's impossible, cos i am determined to make this happen.

shame on yourself

2006-09-20T22:39:00.000+08:00

how can one bring up a well-mannered child when you think it's okay to let your child pick on other people's food, before the person actually opened or saw the packet, without asking for permission?

and i think that is one of the most basic to be taught.

it's just so sick to know that my food has been picked on and digged through, and it doesn't matter if it's my own sister who's doing it. if i bother to ask nicely whenever i take something, i think i deserve the same respect too. sneaky sneaky shit is just fucking rude and disgusting!

it's just sick. simply sick.

argh.

books, authors and i

2006-09-15T23:14:00.000+08:00

i know this might not sit well with some of you, but when sean and i were walking around in kinokuniya (bugis) last night (after buying simply divine notebook!), i actually told him that for the rest of all the presents and gifts that he's going to buy for me in future, like birthday, christmas, anniversary etc. he should buy me a BOOK! but not any book on the shelf!

i told him to buy ONLY from the authors i like and that is my now favourite ADELE PARKS! along with Cecilia Ahern and Robyn Sisman. and he's NOT allowed to buy repeats. haha. i told him to check my drawer of novels (yes, dedicated one drawer in my wardrobe to them) to see which are the titles i already have. haha!

can you imagine that came out of my mouth?? i'm actually giving up tons of expensive gifts for ONE book!

even before we were together, he was already buying me gifts in the digits region that nobody i knew ever explored when getting a gift for me!

and i know some of you don't know me as the person who enjoys reading, but i think it comes with age. suddenly i want to buy almost every single book i've ever layed my eyes on and i'm just dying to read them all! and it's not even because i'm forced to! i just simply enjoy reading!

yesterday, i also went to buy the darling book that started my novel collection journey. it got lost when we were moving into the new home and i never found it! (not even in bookstores) until yesterday, that is! haha. oh oh, and i'm definitely going to let you all know the title of the book!

it's HUSBANDS by ADELE PARKS.

unaware and subconsciously

2006-09-14T11:52:00.000+08:00

i was blog hopping when i started to curse all the blogs that i went to for not updating because i am BORED and there's nothing to read or do. so i went to my blog, proudly thinking there's going to be a new entry for me to read, but NO. my blog is just about the same as any other blogs that i have gone to.. dead.

ha ha.

i sold my laptop a few days ago for $500. haha. i miss my laptop loads now, it has all the pictures and whatnots and everything basically that accumulated over a year and half, possibly more. it had EVERYTHING. haha. you might be thinking now that i'm stupid to not copy everything out. but i did. and i still miss my freakin' laptop. bahh.

i was moody after selling my laptop, actually in a really foul mood, cos whatever that happened after was just miserable, irritating and boring. i feel like i haven't been a good owner to my laptop and sold it away before it can prove to me its worth and value. oh heck! it's gone already.

sean tried to cheer me up that night by telling me that i'm going to get a new laptop of my choice, but things got a tad ugly when i said i wanted to get the Sony VAIO FJ78GP in Raspberry Red. many people told me that it's NOT WORTH to buy a VAIO laptop because it's just branding and everything else inside it is shit. but just look at this darling!

it's fucking stylish and chic-a-licious! every bit of it screams that! now why can't men understand that women sometimes don't go for the inside but the outside, when it comes to gadgets and the likes.

but in any case, i'm trying to compromise by getting a better and rather 'styled' + much smaller and lighter laptop (it's 12.1" inch and weighs 1.8kg with battery). sean has even offered to have it gmasked so that i can enhance it's chic-ness and one-of-a-kindness. but i think the only thing cool and brilliant about this new laptop, which is ASUS W5F by the way, would be that it would match my iPod and my mouse. they will all be in WHITE. haha.

here's a visual aid, plus link to site, as to how ASUS W5F looks like.

now the only thing i'm waiting for is have the ka-ching ka-ching loaded into my bank account and then i'll happily have sean accompany me down to buy my new laptop.

through this whole laptop thing, i have learnt how to tell a good laptop from a bad laptop. haha, thanks to sean who taught me about all the knows when it comes to looking at specs (he compared the laptops now with then and commented these are now super computers. hehe!) and that if ASUS wants to hire a designer for their laptops, they should come and find me.

p.s. i also learnt that a thing like a laptop can make a girl talk loads. haha!

2006-08-26T22:19:00.000+08:00

today has been great and fun! although really tiring and absolutely muscle tensing.

my body is aching like mad from bowling non stop from 12pm-4pm, TEN whole games worth of bowling. ohmygod. i'm seriously losing my touch and patience and passion for bowling. haha. but it was fun, just dumping the ball on the lane and not hoping for anything anymore. it was kind of relieving to know that i no longer get upset with myself, my balls and the lane should i get a low score. i'm actually thinking of quitting the team and stop bowling, only bowl when i want to. sean is hoping that i would do that too because my doctor told us that i'm only going to hurt my back further if i continue to do any sport that's overly strenous for my back.

tomorrow, i have another 6 more games to bowl. bleah. i think i'm going to be nothing but brittle bones by the end of tomorrow night.

the great and fun thing i'm talking about today has NOTHING to do with bowling. HAHA. it's DRIVING.

we went somewhere a bit further for breakfast today, so that I CAN DRIVE! haha. after breakfast, i drove us to NSRCC where i had my bowling competition. then he drove the car back while i stayed on for my competition. he came much later on at about 6pm as planned cos we were supposed to stay for some dinner that they had for us but i was so tired and so bored with the fact that the guys had another 6 more games to bowl, we left. then i drove US home! and i went onto the expressway for the first time! hehe. so fun!

the only thing i don't dare to do with his car is to PARK. haha. everything's so different! the view, the dimension, everything! it'll take a while, but for now.. i drive, he park! hehe :P oh yes, we also agreed that if we guess the traffic would be heavy, he will be the one driving. HAHA.

p.s. my mum's coming back from tibet tonight! but i can't do the driving and pick her up cos my dad said NO to me to drive his car and he wants to pick my mother up. so i guess i'll stay home and wait! haha.

YAY!!!

2006-08-26T01:26:00.000+08:00

i finally passed my driving test! to my amazement, i actually passed with only 6 points! that' 6/20 man!! haha.

i am now licensed!

HOORAY!!

after everything was done at cdc, i waited for sean to pick me up. we then headed over to TM to have dinner at SWENSEN'S! his treat and then we walked around and all.

there are 2 cute little cars i saw that i kinda want. haha. Chevrolet new Sparks and an unknown mitsubishi car! Sparks cost about $22,388 with COE included. hinted BIG time to dad by putting the brochure + price written on at where he usually put his stuff. hehe.

after walking around TM and buying my paris hilton's album, we left the place and headed home.

we dropped by the petrol kiosk and he asked me if i wanted to take over and drive. but i didn't quite dare to cos i'm not used to his car.. haha. so when we got home, he drove up to the top of the car park and let me try the car out! and it was fun! haha. i was practically laughing at everything i was doing. haha. there were like 2-3 times where i had to stop driving cos i was laughing so hard i couldn't concentrate. haha.

then he told me to drive down and park his car before heading over to my parents place. AND YAY! I CAN DRIVE!! :)

champion already LOH

2006-08-24T18:43:00.000+08:00

i remember weeks before my pet rabbit honey died, i was thinking of getting a pet dog. and then, my rabbit fell ill and died before we managed to bring it to the vet's. that was 27th may.

now, a few weeks ago, i was thinking of a new laptop and guess what?

MY LAPTOP DIED ON ME TODAY.

man.

2006-08-21T21:05:00.000+08:00

you know that feeling? i think we all do.

the stupid parcel was suppose to reach here TODAY! by the time i reach home!

but fuck. god knows wtf went wrong.

i have a dateline to meet. if it weren't for family people, i don't think i'll even bother to care.

fuckit!

2006-08-13T18:12:00.000+08:00

now i know why i bothered to.

and it's all worth it.

emotional wreck?

2006-08-11T11:50:00.000+08:00

yes, no, possibly.

i really don't want to care anymore. and i am capable of not caring for anything if i don't want to.

but i choose to. i don't even know why i bother to.

maybe i should just go fuck myself and then leave things as it is.

2006-08-09T22:08:00.000+08:00

it's been quite a while since i've last updated.

honestly, i don't know what to blog nowadays. haha.

since the last time i've updated, there had been a period where i felt like i was the luckiest girl on earth, to have sean with me.

then there was the period where i felt like i needed to be alone, and just wish everyone would go away, YET come and comfort me at the same time.

weird. i know.

today's national day. and everyone in the family has a day-off tomorrow - except me. oh wells. i'll just head to school and pray the day would pass FAST. and then! FRIDAY!

come this friday, i'll be going bowling with my beloved girlfriend and a new friend! haha! it seems like my only drive and motivation for bowling is girlfriend. haha! competitive me wants to be just as good as girlfriend, to be at national level. but that's only with girlfriend, elsewise - FORGET IT.

haha.

okay. me go eat ice cream <3

p.s. anyone wanna join project superstar or dance floor (?) with me?? for fun's sake! hahahaha!!!

she has a blog!

2006-07-23T18:12:00.000+08:00

my darling paris has a blog!

wahaha!

visit her blog here.

fucking copiers!

2006-07-20T15:55:00.000+08:00

you know how you develop a style of your own (regardless of relation to what) and you find someone gradually copying you, from one thing to another?

i know it's a free world and everyone can do anything they want. but to have someone OBVIOUSLY copying you??

even though it is just over a presentation powerpoint, it's still very pissing off. I DEVELOPED THAT STYLE, SO IT STAYS MINE!

what's up with the same person following the colors i use, following the same fonts (used in the same parts), and following the same typing style. WHAT FUCK! go find your own style and use it.

and what's up with asking us to CLEAR YOUR TRASH AND POO??

and wishful thinking on your part, thinking that we would help you do the pitch and actually pass you what we have for you to present. WHAT FUCK! who would want to use your rubbish!? haven't you noticed the pass week?

argh. justfuckoff.

today marks the 4th year since marion has passed on. it is also ex-friend (i think) jinyu's 19th birthday. and come monday, it'll be my birthday too. and one week from my birthday, it will sean and i being together for 2 years.

only this year had i realise the importance of july. it contains so many birthdays, celebrations and deaths, those that i know or have heard of. more than i know in any other months.

from the start of the month, the 1st, is not only my sister's friend's birthday but also her best buddy's death anniversary. then there's also my grand-uncle's and marion's death anniversary. but i guess there's more happy than sad la.

there are so many birthdays, first in my many years around! (if you're in my family, you would know that august is the 'birthday' month) haha. there's eliz (10th), mandie (13th), jinyu (14th), myself and this guy i used to know named edwin (17th), tingxi (19th), tessa (22nd) and weiwen (25th). there's one on either 15th or 16th, but i can't remember who. if i'm not wrong, 15th is one of my friend's sister's birthday. and 16th is celebrity ivy lee's birthday. haha.

THEN! there's the perfect 24/7 when sean and i came together! from the start, both he and i found the number really nice. haha. not only cos of the obvious but also cos his birthday date is 24th, and my birthday month is july! haha. nice nice. then there's our wedding day, 29th oct. and soon, our customery wedding, 9th dec. HAHA. so many dates, which is the actual wedding date? lol.

2006-06-18T21:23:00.000+08:00

baby and i went to marina sq to confirm with Bridal Concepts on letting them handle our photoshoots, wedding gowns and whatnots. haha.

sadly, it's TOO LATE to design my own gown! but it's ok.. when i learnt about the process to creating and designing my own gown i was like......... OFF THE RACK PLEASE! haha. it's too complicated, brain juice inducing and simply crazy!

first appointment is on 5th July, 1pm. i can't wait to pick out my gowns! hehe. altogether i get to pick out 2 wedding gowns, 2 evening gowns and 2 costumes for the photoshoot and 1 wedding gown, 1 evening gown and 1 tea dress (kua) for the actual day. hehe, so many to choose! YAY! there's like 2 wedding gowns which i've seen (in photos) that i really like.. just have to see the actual thing now.

now! baby and i are thinking of places where we can do our 2 outdoor location shoot and a night scene shoot. hehe. so exciting :)) one of the outdoor places would most likely be in tuas, where we can take photos with the la-langs and sunset! the night scene, baby said we should go between fullerton/esplanade/singapore river/benjamin sheares bridge.. etc. the other outdoor shoot, i suggested the area near changi beach club. hehe. there's the kelong walk and all the boats there.. NICE!

i can't wait!

as always

2006-06-04T16:53:00.000+08:00

in case some of you are wondering, whether or not i'm over the loss of my darling little honey, i am.

it was a short, yet sweet time we had together :)

she was with sean and i through the good and the bad. from my birthday to grandpa's death to getting married, and finally, to moving into our own place.

and guess what! we're trying to plant flowers at the area where we bury her! it'll take about 3 months before the whole thing is fully grown though. that will take quite a while, to see if it actually grows. haha. if it doesn't, i'm buying another bag of seeds to plant!! haha.

anyways, holidays are here so i'll most likely be cracking my brains into creating some more designs for earrings to put them up for sale AND the number one priority now.. to come up with a cheap alternative to help the youth squad bond, and to make this bond truly stay and stop our losing streak. damn!

will i ever find closure?

2006-05-28T19:11:00.000+08:00

my rabbit, honey, passed away yesterday.

i can't believe it, even up till now, after burying her and putting away her cage, waterbottle and bowl. i miss her a lot, and i regret not carrying her one last time, telling her that she's the most beautiful and cutest rabbit, and also that she's not fat at all... but i can't tell her that anymore, i won't be able to come home and
scream, "Honey!" anymore...

i was supposed to bring her to the doc's yesterday, but when i was washing up, sean came and knocked on the door, telling me that honey has passed away....... i should've brought her to the doctor's earlier, then maybe.. she won't have died....

goodbye honey.. i'll miss being your owner..

when it's all quiet

2006-05-08T08:51:00.000+08:00

you'll know when i'm too pissed to talk, answer or even around.

remember last semester in class? during presentation?

you'll just know it..

yes, first day again

2006-04-18T08:32:00.000+08:00

it is the ever so NOT god forsaken first day of school yesterday.

and i must say, it's kind shit and the whole day was just pure irritation to me. haha. and no, it's not because of the people in my class, nor is it cos of people who are not in my class.

i guess knowing that i'll be all alone at home last night sort of already made things bad enough for me cos sean had NCC camp, i think somewhere in ang mo kio (cos he told me he went to a coffee shop somewhere in ang mo kio with some other officers and commented that the food was not bad, haha)

others that played a part was the constantly over-crowded canteen, the everywhere-is-fully-airconditioned-at19ºC AND the last straw came from the RAIN after school!

but today was rather okay. i woke up to the alarm, lazily stayed in bed for another 20minutes (thank god i set my alarm earlier) then went straight to the showers, it was really warm and relaxing, so much so that i stayed in there for like 30minutes. haha!

after my nice long shower, i blow dry my hair (as always) and got ready for school. left the house at around 6.15am and walked to the bus stop (since sean isn't around to drive me out!) reached at around 6.27am (yes, i enjoy checking the time) waited until about 6.36am (and again) and i was on the bus! haha. reached woodlands at around 7.20am (yet again) and went to McDonald's at Causeway Point for breakfast :)

after a slow breakfast, i walked to school, enjoying the music on my ipod. reached class at 8.20am :) i can get used to this every morning. haha. not only will i feel good and actually eat before school starts but i'll also get to exercise! (yes, that little 10-15minutes walk to school)

so yay! although first day sucked the life force out of me (doesn't it always does?) but second day seem to be so far so good, until now.. i just realised that for this module, we're to stick with the same people for like 16 weeks! omg. but at least we'll get to choose the people, but.. how am i to know i won't get irritated with them half-way, like i always do!? omg...

Entertainment Competition

2006-04-02T22:51:00.000+08:00

Campus Superstar sort of got me thinking about the past competition.

Is it true that if you're female, you'll never win?

Is it also true that if you're not from Singapore, you'll never win?

Take a look at Project Superstar, Star Idol and now, Campus Superstar (forget Singapore Idol, where are those people now anyway?)

Aren't all the winners males?

Aren't all the winners of pure Singapore breed?

Worth to get your brain juice running for a thought?

it did for me.

DIY earrings

2006-04-02T20:35:00.000+08:00

today, while i was waiting for sean to be done using the gents at katong, i wondered around and found this shop selling bits and stuff. so i went in and took a look.

he came out of the gents and asked me if i wanted to try making my own earrings, i hesitated a while and then checked out everything carefully and decided to have a go. i mean, why not? haha.

so i bought a enough beads to make 2 pairs of earrings, just for starters.when i got home, i tried to copy this pair of earrings i saw on display in there, but I FAILED. haha. the beads i bought were a bit too much of the same size, so i'm going to take out everything and start all over again.

BUT! i did succeed in making one pretty pretty pair, out of beads that i just picked and choose cos i like them. and who says all the best things can't be put together!? haha! and i've christianed it Scarlet Tear haha!
