dizzy woozy

heh due to my latest diet plan, i was in a state of dizziness yesterday but totally clueless as to why...thought the world was coming to an end or something...until my mother realised and then it hit me too! aha lack of carbo... oops. anyways, been sleeping in everyday and the weather's been perfectly accommodating! it rains every night, there's cool breeze, mm so nice to sleep. ok let me see, the last time i went shopping was sunday night, bought a pair of slippers only. i'm thinking of revamping my wardrobe. haha and i announced it to my mother over supper at maxwell market on sunday night, and sought her utmost support. lol. think she almost choked on her porridge... ahh once i move to yew tee, i'm gonna check out all the shopping malls in the north-south mrt line man. causeway point, junction 8, toa payoh, leave no stone unturned. lol. time to visit all the places i stayed away from when i was tucked away in my little west coast abode. hehe... well surprisingly i was just having a rather meaningful conversation with terence and it was helpful...haha. ok going to yew tee later. my library books are overdue. oops. yay lot 1 shopping mall has a library! next time do research would be very convenient. actually, moving to yew tee is good coz it's near everything. but moving out of my dear old house is heartbreaking. yeah so anyway, happy holidays!

suntec all night

today we sent my brother back to army and then my parents had a concert to attend so since i didn't want to be alone at home again, they dropped me off at suntec, where i walked the whole night until now i'm positive my feet are drawing up a lawsuit against me. sigh...but it's ok, coz i bought them new slippers! hehe :) just that these are the exact slippers that fly all over the place each time it rains. but i still like them! so i bought back the maroon/brown (egyptian) ones. which in case you didn't know, died on me as i was on my way to the post office some weeks ago. haha yeah...maybe i really shouldn't wear slippers. anyway, guess what - the suntec ebase doesn't have my size for that top anymore! whoa so fast!?! i better hurry... i shall not hesistate anymore. haha yeah right. sometimes it's fun shopping alone but sometimes it's not. it depends... oh i had roast beef for lunch and i almost died. i know what you all are gonna say but sigh, i just cannot make it when it comes to all this funny angmoh food... :p i shall stick to asia from now on. asia! asia! asia! be it fashion, food, or education. haha. sigh my poor brother in army... i don't remember it being this tough!! this was his last weekend at this house. think we're all pretty sad about it. and we DON'T want to talk about it. lol. i've been video camera-ing stuff this past week and it's been quite funny! my mum got into this whole singing and line dancing mood, like she was giving a concert every night... lol. and when my brother came back for the weekend he too was rather hilarious. so we shall await my wonderful piece of work with abated breath!! haha goodnight!

rj open house and singapore idol

dropped by rjc today to catch up with all my friends and it was pretty good! nice to see all of them again. i miss my sec 4 classroom life. and aiyah today's a rainy day lah. :( but very good to sleep too. anyway, after Bible study i was on my way to the bus stop when it started pouring! kinda like a scene out of a chinese gongfu movie. i heard the rustling of the trees, and i looked up, and the next thing i knew, it was raining cats and dogs. so i decided to forgo my pride and i broke into a clumsy jog which was disrupted by my lousy slipper. yes it slipped off my right foot again. hrrrumph. the bus stop never seemed so far away as it was today. are SLIPpers meant to be SLIPpery and cause unsuspecting people like me to SLIP??? this is the third time in my memory that it has happened to me already. why me... poor me... sniff sniff. ok on to singapore idol... i really think sylvester's good. but how come he's always in the unsafe group? poor guy... looks like i gotta whip out my handphone and start voting for him... and that'll break my record of not voting for anybody at all ever since such a thing came about. i shall wrap this up with a nice smile :) and say goodnight everybody! sleep happily on this cool rainy night... yum yum.

sky captain and the world of tomorrow

whoa lots of things happened today man.. i'm so tired now. anyway, the main thing was i met ahhihh at lido and we watched the abovementioned movie. it was quite *silly*.. sorry! heh. but the whole retro feel was quite cool lah. haha i don't know why but they gave gwyneth paltrow such silly lines! oh and i was glad we got the new seats! the last time i watched at lido my seat was rocking back and forth :( you know how it is with me and rocky chairs... i get groggy. hehe. ok then we went shopping for a while and i saw this really nice top from ebase but it's $19 so i'm still thinking about it... btw charles and keith is having a sale! you should go down now if you need shoes. lastly, i really love mangoes! heh. just ate it. we have a mango tree outside my house yeah so according to my mum, they taste the nicest when they've just landed on the ground and we immediately pick them up. so means i gotta hang around my dear old tree and wait for my lovely mangoes to drop down... sigh...

lost in freedom

wassupppp...heh. first day of freedom but i dunno, just sitting here feeling kinda lost. all the things that i said i would do AFTER THE EXAM...suddenly my mind is blank. hahaha. anyways the disastrous exam is good and gone, no it was bad but now gone, and school's ended for real now. no more miserable holidays disguised in the form of study break. i mean last week was meant for studying yet there were no classes so means holidays right? i was totally confused man. ahaha ok what am i talking about... yeah tmr i'm meeting ahhihh for shopping and movie! maybe my liberation will come then. what movie is good?

thank you God!! and i love wr!!

hey man...just gotta testify of God's goodness to me! only last night i was languishing in a pool of utter helplessness, wondering how on earth was i gonna come up with an interactive map for pulau ubin zoological gardens. lol. sigh... seemed that all hope was gone, i had no one to turn to, my deadline was friday, and i had a marketing exam to mug for... terence gave me phil 4:13 "I can do everything through Him who gives me strength." and i was like, yeah i know... but... haha o me of little faith. i even quoted joshua 1:9 back to him! "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." but yup. and my kind thai friend was "analyzing" the assignment for me, in his words. haha he was so nice, but i guess i felt that there was a limit to how much he could help me. i saw wanjun's one and wow, her stuff was flying all over the place. i was like, oh man, how am i gonna do that?! seriously, last night i was down in the dumps. then fast forward to this morning, i decided to message wr, coz somehow i had this feeling in me that she might be able to help. turns out that she's DA PRO at flash mx. yeah in fact award-winning flash mx expert. lol. praise the Lord man... she's gonna come over and help me tmr. she kept saying, don't worry, i'm the pro, very easy one, sure can. hahaha i love her man. i'll cook you lunch tmr!! hahaha kidding, kidding, still must come ah! and once again, thank you, Father, for showing me Your grace in time of my need.

Psalm 100

Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.

Worship the Lord with gladness; come before Him with joyful songs.

Know that the Lord is God.

It is He who made us, and we are His; we are His people, the sheep of His pasture.

Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise;

give thanks to Him and praise His name.

For the Lord is good and His love endures forever;

His faithfulness continues through all generations.

hi everybody!

heh. just thought i'd be friendly! :) promos are ending this week huh! that's good. too bad i can't celebrate with you guys coz of the exam on monday!! hey pumpkin squad all the best for flash and marketing!! ahahaha. i still dunno what's going on for flash btw. what are we supposed to do???

yesterday i baked brownies! pillsbury tastes better than betty crocker btw! heh oops i don't wanna cause the downfall of betty crocker. anyways, i was all ready to start baking and then i realised that i didn't have eggs! so i started off on an adventure to hunt for eggs. the all-elusive eggs. i walked to the provision shop outside, but they were selling high-class australian eggs at $4.20 for 12. walked to 7-eleven, they were out of eggs. though the guy did tell me that they were selling for $3.95. but i don't know if he meant 10 or 12 eggs. so i was thinking of taking a bus down to the market or shop n save at ginza but in the end i just bought the high-class eggs. as advised by my mother!! i don't make important decisions regarding important food products like eggs without my mother ok. haha. ANYWAYS, i gave some brownies to my brother's girlfriend, brought some over to surprise ahhihh, and later today i'm gonna take some to visit sandy and her boys. spread the love man!! hehe. last night for dinner i got to eat fried egg! like after 2 months! whoo!

hey i kinda like lin jun jie's music now! heh! his album is nice. especially 江南，豆浆油条, 子弹列车，and 美人鱼。 his voice is kinda high leh. haha sunday wr and i went late and missed his mini-concert, and we didn't have the singaporean version of his cd obviously, so couldn't get his autograph. but it's ok lah. so paiseh to like get his autograph. heh. been seeing a lot of wr yah! fri, sat, sun. after standing around for a while, we went to heeren, where i bought a dress from flowers in the attic! okok i shall lock myself up in my house from now on so that i won't spend anymore money. DON'T CALL ME TO GO OUT OK. i shall keep myself busy with flash, marketing, and moving house.

bye everybody! :)

hmm...should i go to town?

i shall decide after i'm done with this post! aha.... yup i've come home from radio. it was quite slack and so i occupied myself with stuff like walking from the radio studios to the library to borrow a stapler... hehehe yah. then i came home and guess what! my mum cooked macaroni chicken soup! like when was the last time i ate that man! hehehe that's like my all-time favourite. i can eat it for lunch, dinner, next day's lunch, next day's dinner... hahaha yah. but my mum said she paid like one and a half times the usual price for the chicken, and somemore it was a skinny chicken. haiyoh this bird flu is more serious that i thought man. the last time it came, i was so blur about the whole thing. it was only when i didn't get to eat chicken or egg for the whole of september (!!!) and even now that i realised hmm... what happened to all my chicken and egg. i've been eating a lot of pork! every day is some pork dish or some pork ribs soup... but still nice lah. :)

just now i was flipping through my classmate's copy of seventeen... my dress from gg<5 was featured inside!!! hehehe i feel so fashionable yah. :p then i saw some really nice and pretty affordable earrings that are from far east... so i'm thinking of going down... coz i also need to get a birthday present for my good friend and some other presents... hmm?? still haven't decided yet. hehe. lazy to get out of the house again...

oh! yesterday we went up to the yew tee condo to check things out. lol. ok i found many good things about moving to there! number 1, the mailbox is very wide!! this means that i'll no longer get crumpled or bent or folded copies of my dear 8 days. :-D hehehehe. number 2, there's a shopping centre just one mrt stop away, and in there, there's sembawang AND ts, which was where i bought my jj lin cd... haha yup, to prepare for this sunday's concert so that at least i'll know what's going on. :p he's having some mini-concert thing at cine, terence gave me free tix so i'm going with wr!!! yay!!! i'm obviously high today right. hahahaha. ok and number 3, it's more for my dad lah, his favourite mobil petrol station with the 5% discount on petrol is just one street away from where we're gonna live... hahahaha.

it's raining metal!!! there are workers at my neighbour's house throwing metal or something down every few seconds... it sounds like big thunder metal stuff coming down from the sky. i woke up this morning feeling quite lost. yes it's been going on the whole day! hahaha... how come so much things to throw?? i also don't know how i came to the conclusion that it's metal they're throwing down. but anyway, that's not the point. 那不是点。 hahaha.

the terminal

wow i'm in such a good mood today man. hahaha. i woke up all happy and sunshine. maybe it's got to do with the fact that today marks the first week of NO MORE CATS & IAC!!!! haha yeah, and that the proposal essay for writcomm is finally over. ahh... i've been released from all that worrying and stress of this term. it's ending... the rest of this week is really gonna be much better! coz our radio project that's due tomorrow is more or less done. terence came to record with me and all that's left on my part is the paperwork...WHICH i'm gonna be doing in chinese!! erm...

well last night was nice... i went to watch the terminal with my parents at cine! the movie wasn't that great at first but it got better by halftime. i don't know, many times i was like torn between feeling sorry for tom hanks and laughing at his, silliness? no lah but it was really really sad...his predicament. but then later he became so so cute and funny, so i was laughing whole-heartedly already. but then it got really sad again and i ended up crying lots and lots. :( anyway, gupta the cleaner was so cute! "do you have an appointment?" hahahaha... and he was so busy during the romantic dinner! doing all his circus tricks...lol. i also liked the part where tom hanks kept going to see the lady officer. did you see the way he walked?? soooo funny!! the kiasu walk. hey this is like one of those rare hollywood movies where the guy doesn't get the girl in the end right? you know when they kissed i was like, oh no, don't tell me the movie's gonna end here. :( but then haha, yay, there was more...

if you see a helpless person in the airport who doesn't know the local language and needs some kind of help, whether dialling the phone or whatever, you will help right? if you pick up a handphone anywhere, you'll return it to the owner right? if you see someone lying on the road like he's in trouble, you'll help right?

we must be more compassionate!! ok ok? :)

david tao is the best!!!

haha yes i'm listening to david tao again... he's really good you know. each time i listen to his songs i'm just so amazed at his talent. the music that he makes is great. there're so many layers to it, each time you just discover more and more. (haha i bet you people are dying already, but...wait...there's more...) i think later i'll watch his concert dvd again. hahaha... aiyah i just feel like relaxing today, it's been a tough week. i have been looking forward to this day for so so long, but i don't actually feel 100% liberated coz the writcomm essay that's due next week is lurking at the back of my head. ugh!! yeah i'm worried about that. but it's silly to just keep worrying and doing nothing about it. anyway, things at school are slowing down a bit... next week i won't have to go to school for three out of five days. after that i have a marketing exam on the 18th. and then i'm free! but like everyone's been saying, if this is not counted as busy, then i don't know what year two is gonna be like man.

may i say, NO MORE CATS AND IAC FOREVER!!! finally, after an excruciating 14 weeks, they are out of my life and will never come back again (they'd better not!!). this calls for a celebration man! haha no no. i dumped all my notes but my mum picked them up and she said i might need them for next time, and i was like, no way man!!! hahaha. yeah so on wednesday i was actually feeling quite lighthearted. plus my jap test was over. i think there'll be no more jap for me, though it's nice and my teacher is really good. but i just don't want to spend any more time in school if i don't have to. hehe. anyway, the japanese are really really creative man. the way she taught jap was so amazing. all those teaching aids she had were so good! and i don't mean like transparencies or powerpoints. i think they're already beyond that. hahaha.

on thursday i took a three-hour outing to citilink mall in a bid to use up my charles & keith coupon before it expired. but alas, NO MORE STOCK. it's always like that you know!!! don't tell me all the women in singapore has the same shoe size as me and the same good taste as me!!! :p ok i was just kidding about the last part of course. but sigh, all the way there and no 收获。haha oh but yesterday my classmate kailin and i bonded over the topic of shoes. haha i guess it's true man, that if there's anything that can get two girls to click, it must be the topic of shopping. (or maybe food, in lirong's case. hahaha.) anyway, she told me that espirit has very nice slippers and they're super comfortable and can walk long distances in them and they're cheap too! and she was so sweet, when she was shopping at the espirit in mandarin hotel yesterday evening, she saw them and called me just to tell me that i could find them there. plus she checked that they had my size! so nice right!!!

oh sorry about yesterday's post...i mean, there was no post. somehow my exact feeling at that point was just to be uncontactable. and then after that i didn't know what to write already. you know how you're so easily contactable through your handphone and msn? sometimes i just wish technology never existed. things would be much simpler then. yup, i just want a simple life!!
