didn't go to the shop today after all but sandy and her two boys still came to my place and it was enough, ENOUGH exercise to last me for a week just handling them. hehehe. joel's 4 and jeremy's 1. ahhh cute but hard to handle. joel locked himself in the room hehehe. scared himself for a minute but thank goodness we found the ancient key to open the door. as you all know we've been in this ancient house for a good old 16 years so our entire key system is rather, well, ancient. anyway, jeremy's face looked quite battered from all the falls that he has had and also i guess coz his brother can be quite rough at times. hehehe. joel was so full of energy and kept wanting to climb the mountain (our staircase) with his belt (the hula hoop). erm. haha. ahh but he speaks really good english for a kid his age. i'm such a bad influence in fact. hahaha. i smell of jeremy now! :)

had bak kut teh for lunch! wahh so nice. gonna have it for dinner again later. hahaha abit overdone but never mind. sigh by the looks of it, term 2's gonna be a lot tougher. :( when i've moved to the new place i'll start going to the gym. i bought a tuorqoise pleated skirt and a dress this week. i think crystal jade is overpriced. i trimmed my hair! it was a good haircut this time. ok this has been the random paragraph. out.

term break's almost over. i don't really know what i did last week...not much i think. hmm but i expanded my little cd collection further with jay chou's 七里香 and FIR's 同名专辑...yeah yeah, another of those $9.90 deals. but from TS this time. :) then i went to wr's house on sunday to hang out and she lent me jason mraz and the beatles. so cool! jason mraz is good. heh. hmm what else... visited sandy and her two boys -so cute!-... played for chinese service... helped out at the spanish lady's shop outside my house. ate so many croissants! do you know how much butter goes into these things?!?! oh my... while i was horrified, they were still too good to resist. heh. oh, last week was quite sad coz of li jiawei's losses. poor girl... and why do people keep talking about the money?? it's not about the money!! she worked hard and she deserved to win. did you see how sad she was after her match. that picture of her crying was so so heartbreaking. sigh...

this week... oh i lost my handphone! ugh (for the person who took it). sigh (for everything else). went to the airport on monday morning... early morning, like 5 am... to send my brother off. while he was checking in and stuff, i went to one of those seats and tried to sleep. then later mum called us to go and...i guess i left my handphone on the seat! i was too sleepy to notice anything, until we were like halfway home. sighhhhh..... not that i can't live without a handphone. just that... the money... so wasted. and all my contacts and messages inside... why? why? if you picked up a handphone, you would return it, right? why wasn't that person like that too? but i'm ok lah. got the sim card from singtel. i just don't want my parents to spend anymore money on a new handphone.

oh, went to watch stepford wives with my mum on wednesday. it wasn't that good...even my mum said so. such a pity! and i don't know why, i was actually quite freaked at one point. must have been the robots lah. heh. that part was very disturbing...

last night i missed singapore idol coz i was at the shop again. how was it? anyway, the people at the shop were learning how to cook some kind of spanish food called paella. the chicken and fish were very nice but essentially....hehe...i'm a chinese food kind of person. oh well sigh... paiseh!! then she gave me a bowl of cold tomato and pepper soup. i almost died but don't tell her. heh. going back again tomorrow, kids baking birthday cakes. haha should be fun lah.

haha hey. wasn't actually planning to blog today but changed my mind after seeing mingen's tag. heh. yeah RONALD SUSILO...absolutely fantastic. he won again today! beat that german guy. now he's into the top 8. oh man this is so exciting. but i hope nothing bad happens!! sigh. tomorrow he plays the thai guy am i right? not sure. oh man hope he wins... i think he can. he's really good. haha yeah mingen what happened to wang nan eh? now it's "my thorpey"...haha :p the last time the olympics happened was when we were sec 2. hehe so fun then.

i didn't watch the match today coz i went to the library to get inspiration for my essay. haha. the jurong east community library is so nice! :p just renovated eh. nice nice. i chose third culture kids as my topic. hope it's ok... i think it's very interesting. heh. actually i woke up today not having the slightest idea as to what my topic should be, but thank God it all worked out in the end.

today was a good day, except that my stomach was really giving me a lot of problems. ok it was a good day coz when i reached home with four books in tow, i found out that ronald susilo won :-D, and david tao was on tv!! hahaha. but this was back in the old days, when he looked a bit plump and the hair was bad. :p so my brother was dissing him like mad. ugh. but his girlfriend and my mum didn't dare to say anything. UNTIL...i went upstairs, then as i was coming down again, i heard my mum say, "yeah how come he so fat ah"... hahaha. she was in big trouble after that. hahahaha. no lah. but so funny. thought she was safe. :p

just finished sending out a friend's pw survey to some friends. so touched that they all said ok so willingly! ahh. :)

hey! this is so cool! i just downloaded the post-it software notes thing...you can leave notes on your desktop! hahaha very good. i'm gonna write down all my holiday homework so that i'll be constantly reminded of them and not have a happy holiday. :p

accompanied my friend to her casting for modelling jobs today. hmm. my first encounter with this industry... it was... i dunno. ok first we went to somewhere in outram. all those old *revamped* shophouses where the arty farty people do their stuff. then we went to somewhere near maxwell market. had to climb this very old staircase to get to the 3rd floor. i don't think i'm gonna describe what happened in detail lah... i'm going to talk about the weather. haha yes. it was HOT man! next i'm going to talk about lunch. we ate at maxwell market. :) but the famous chicken rice stall wasn't open. :( so in the end i ate fishball mee sua soup and the peanut ji zhou thing (sweet potato balls with peanuts?). and i ordered chin chow which came sealed in those bubble tea cups and with a handle! haha so innovative.

now we're hosts to two asean scholars, one from the phillipines (girl) and another from thailand (boy). i haven't met the boy yet but we brought the girl to a guitar concert at ucc last night.

ALMOST forgot to add - RONALD SUSILO WON!!!
haha ok, you must be thinking he won the olympics gold medal or something. he didn't, but he's close. he beat lin dan of china, who's like the world no. 1. i can't believe i missed that match man! it was last night. i didn't know! then i woke up this morning to yi lin's sms...what a great thing to wake up to! :D caught a bit of the match on tv mobile just now. think it'll be the highlight of the highlights later. yup.... haha. he's gonna get an olympic medal! ahh that's so cool.

wanna go watch dim sum dollies...... haha. [update: but it's over! argh. just checked - run ended on saturday. haiyoh.]

listening to jay chou's yeh hui mei now. it's so nice! hehehe. another good deal from sembawang! :) now i have david tao, mayday and jay chou in my comp. plus the temptations and michael w. smith. good stuff. really happy... after such a tiring day. glad to be back at home. glad it's the hols.

after grammer test (which went ok), took a bus to orchard with fel, deb and sam. was pretty high at first coz i hadn't been on serious town retail therapy for seven weeks! haha. no lah, felt happy coz no more school. though not exactly, but still... ate lunch at scotts. wow the last time i ate there was dunno when man haha. debbie and i liked the strings of little christmas lights hanging down from the ceiling. they reminded her of paris. haha... they reminded me of, aiyah, christmas lah. haha. fel ordered some super spicy soup thing, almost killed her nose. haha. and sam ordered some mushroom dish even though she doesn't eat mushrooms. just like how she doesn't eat the prawns in prawn mee. or the chicken in chicken rice. sigh this girl is one of a kind man. hahaha.

then we went to far east level one. couldn't really remember how to wear a belt (ha.) so deb had to help me. bought two coz i needed a belt and two for $10 was the deal. after shopping for about three (?) hours, they left, and i carried on at wisma/taka. saw a ch 8 actor. and the famous amos cookies were really calling out to me man haha. but i was strong. then i took a train to citilink coz i just couldn't wait anymore for my charles & keith slippers... the first time i laid my eyes on them was eons ago. they didn't have my size then, and the next time i checked, there was no stock. today the wisma outlet didn't have my size again, and i thought, i have to buy them!! grr. haha. so i went to the other outlet in citilink. and got them! haha so happy. they're black, so can match with a lot of things. plus, they were at a reasonable price. oh well, don't know why, but all the clothes and stuff didn't really interest me today. there were soooo many different designs! how to choose like that? hehe. plus, if i had to compare prices, i would just go crazy. so i decided to save my money instead. in the end i only bought the cd, belts and slippers. all good deals ok!! heh.

wanna watch fahrenheit 9/11........

today's officially the last day of term one! but it's so anti-climax coz we have a big grammer test tomorrow so i don't actually feel much joy in me right now. hehe sigh...anyway, WOW i survived my first term in poly. hehehe ok. it's been a pretty good first term. we get the next 2 weeks off but seriously, since when are holidays really holidays? the only times you get them for real are after your PSLE, O levels, A levels... haha. means you don't actually have holidays for most part of your schooling life. well we went to serangoon during lunchtime today coz debbie had to go home to get her laptop and print notes. oh man almost died in the pumpkin!! heh. the journey was seriously a bit too much for me to take. :p (but i still appreciate ter lah.) later we went to KAP for lunch. wow macs had never tasted this good. i even ate my fries plain! hahaha... oh, saw a cute little boy there. 小圆圆。haha! so round.

who watched the swearing-in last night? i felt so nervous watching it, coz lee hsien loong looked so nervous! heh. but you know, i kinda realised that last night's ceremony was a BIG thing for singapore. kinda like a momentous occasion yeah, changing our prime minister. it's just that, i was at home watching it alone, so the atmosphere wasn't really there. anyway, what was fann wong doing there?! haha i was quite shocked. but good to know that my dear zoe tay was invited too. hehe. saw their pic in the papers today. eh what's this about a girl who asked to be invited? and this rjc boy who also asked to be invited? i want to ask to be invited too! but it's over already lah. haha. but i didn't know you could do such a thing...sigh. haha today sam and i were bemoaning the fact that our dearest pm goh has stepped down. she's from marine parade, haha, so she's even more on than me. we love pm goh! right, sam? hahaha... this afternoon when my socpsych teacher said something like "our ex-prime minister goh...", i was like "no! no! we love pm goh!" hahahaha. :p aiyah but of course i'll support our new pm lee too. :)

maybe you know by now that every friday there'll be some funny story from marketing. haha well today i got fooled! big time. argh. i can't even describe how i got fooled coz it's a long story and i'm still seething from it. haha no lah but it was a good one man. my teacher is the ultimate. then he drove past me as i was walking out of school and he gave me one of his funny looks. ahh what a way to end my term. haha. "mental kid"...

hey singapore idol was surprisingly entertaining! haha...really not as cheesy as i feared it would be. in fact, it was so funny that i couldn't eat my papaya properly. hehehe... ok, every wednesday, 8:30 pm, right? must watch. :) the judges were ok...no fake american accents! haha...makes the show watchable. hey gurmit singh can sing! he should join the competition too, if he wasn't the host. ahh the contestants were so funny... the lemon tree guy, the guy who sang SO SOFTLY but just didn't let the judges off (i remember his number - 5569!)... but the stripper was horrible! ugh. :p anyway, there were some pretty good singers... so hope it gets better each week. :) is it mean to laugh at them? but i don't mean any harm... :( oh dear.

ndp isn't enjoyable if you aren't where the action is. :p and the only time i was at the national stadium was when i was p5, like everybody else. heh. and we got lost after that. but anyway, wah, what's with the music this year man. they made the national songs so hip-hop and pop and stuff...haha it was kinda weird. my aunties were like...huh? haha. anyway, i'm sooo sad that pm goh is stepping down. i like him very much! he is very fatherly. hehe. more fatherly than father lee. haha! did you get that? aiyah my brother was being very nonsense throughout the entire parade. :p and i overate again... :( national day weekend is as bad as chinese new year man. all that steamboat and muah chee, longan, durian, cake... haiyoh.

haha...osama bin tay tay...terence!!! :p

haha what nonsense is this man...on msn now with my classmates. they say siew sounds mongolian. and lim sounds like a terrorist (?!). and tan sounds like an orange. i'm cracking up...

oh, happy national day! :) haha it's tomorrow lah. tonight my mum's family is coming over for steamboat. it's gonna be so so fun! haha yeah my mum's family is very funky one. heh. eh not fair, the school people get tues off as well. how come we don't? we're students also what. sigh but nvm, my hols are next week! :-D i'm trying to convince my mum to change our holiday venue from yewtee to johor bahru. just shop there for a day lah...better than going to a condo 20 mins away from home right. hehehe.

last month we baked brownies, so we decided to cook something this time round. and ashley joined us, and even offered her kitchen, and even offered to pay for everything...but of course we had issues with that last one. heh. btw her parents are funky!! ok anyway before that, i took the mrt - and the last time i took a train was like more than a month ago coz i was happily using bus concession last month...but now i've decided it isn't very worth it. i dunno, still experimenting - to chua chu kang and decided to visit lot 1 shoppers' mall. wah! within like less than an hour, i bought a pair of black pants and a mayday cd. super good deals. very proud of myself. hahaha... been needing the black pants for a long time already. bossini is having a very good sale over there! how come i don't get such things in clementi. that's why moving to yew tee sounds much better to my ears now. :) but i can get giordano jeans at $19 in clementi. ahh... haha. ok so anyway, we made a whole mess of ashley's kitchen but somehow managed to come up with some palatable food by 8 pm. then we dug into ice-cream and dissed the bachelor bob. what kind of show is that?! haha my marketing teacher's favourite show..."we made a connection..." hahaha. yeah right. but seriously, you should have seen us. we were in utter disbelief at the fakeness of the show. i was just so annoyed that i kept eating the ice-cream.



please don't tell me you all are gonna cook dinner for me tonight...


oh yes we are...see - we went to ntuc already!


i'm gonna film this so that if i die tomorrow of food poisoning, the whole world will know why.


oh come on, it's fine!...(the potato chips are really nice!)


just look at that! (the water's just there...you won't be needing it.)


yeah yeah and we're all one big happy family. :)

is the weekend really here? gosh i waited like so long for it to come...bad week! ugh. heh...ok now going to ash's house for some culinary session :) wish us strong stomachs! cya.

ugh...when was the last time i cried man. now i'm feeling so blue. :( i just watched tonight's episode of double happiness. yeah, the happy fish show on ch 8. i mean my mum taped it and we watched it together later. tonight, jiaqi (edmund chen), who had gone to afghanistan to do volunteery medical work, was found dead in an accident. and to see how his whole family grieved...but then they still tried to keep the news from their mother... oh man my tears just flowed. i used up three pieces of tissue paper! now i feel so tired. really, to see all of them so sad...i was so sad too. we gotta love and cherish our families man. heh. oh well it may have just been a tv show, but still. the message is very true. ahh, the government will be very happy if they read this. :) family matters! hahaha. eek i always cry when i watch such things. that's why i stay away from those movies that i know will make me cry. like windstruck and brotherhood. (there's something about korean movies...haha ok never mind.) but that means i'm also missing out on the good stuff. haha sigh. i would watch them in the comfort of my own home, i guess...but i'm not a pirate, and i'm not rich either. in other words, i won't download stuff but i won't spend money buying them too. people like me just spoil the market huh? haha.

lastly, just a little observation here: pokka's ice lemon tea is much nicer than seasons'. :)

i did it!!!


that's ahhihh, sahra and fehuih. ahhihh's supposed to kill us but only fehuih looks the part (well, kinda) coz i got tired waiting for the pic to be taken and so i dropped the act. :D it's true!


this is manu. she does yoga...


...or so we thought.


nothing better to do.


we are tall and we have a problem with your shoes.


the moon and us!


self-explanatory...

wild night at eve's! haha had sooo much fun tonight. went crazy seeing all my old friends and we took a whole lot of pics with crazy poses which i'll try to upload later. ashley has a hilarious video of us. must get a copy from her!!! i was laughing so hard till my sides ached. i ate lots of chocolate fondue also. i think that's what it's called. at first i was like making sure i was 10 feet away from it but in the end i succumbed to temptation and ate a whole lot of it. ugh i kinda feel sick now heh. i ate it with strawberries at first but later there were bananas and i liked that one better. :) haven't seen my friends in ages!!! we made soooo much noise at the clubhouse haha. then of course there was an attempt at the traditional dunking but it didn't work out so never mind. i was kinda feeling scared for ahhihh. heh. only because she was wearing a skirt that cost (a whole lot of money). :p kidding. miss my friends sooo much. all that craziness that we had back in school...WE REALLY DID A LOT OF CRAZY STUFF. if not for them i wouldn't have gotten through sec 4!!! thought maybe we'd play mafia tonight but don't think we did. haha they got eve a present from blush! trust them to do something like that. hahaha. yeah i think ahhihh's real proud of her idea hehe. whatever dear. tonight was basically eve's farewell party but i don't think we did a very good job of it hehe. well hopefully we can all go down to the airport. mingen, yi lin and i were trying to shoot some pics that had us and the moon. but it's like if you off the flash you can see the moon and not us. and if you turn it on you can't see the moon. so finally mingen came up with a pretty good idea to take the pics by some lamps but she made me squat here, bend there, ahh so many awkward poses haha. you can see the results later. what else did we do ah. think we basically took a lot of pics the whole night hahaha. i also got to catch up a bit with the3ofthem. sorry guys, didn't spend that much time with you all. next time ok? then i went home with ahhihh. we had so much to talk about but the journey was just too short heh. came home and ate an ang ku kueh. bad idea!!! now i feel like eating instant noodles. argh. well i really really missed my friends. :D thank God for tonight!
