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...

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.

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!

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!!

officially sick of mooncake!!!

hehehe yup stuffed myself silly with mooncake yesterday and today... mooncake is officially out-of-bounds for me man... haha that's actually not too great a problem, since there's not much left, since i've practically eaten up everything... awwww. last night my relatives came over for dinner. lots of food man!! plus my favourite hockchew fishball soup!!! :-D then i took a ride on my cousin's bike, but it was my uncle who rode it lah. it felt so good! the wind blowing through my hair... so breezy! (haha yes i wasn't wearing a helmet.) but too bad my mum doesn't allow me to ride with my cousin like, for real, yeah. too dangerous. if not he could send me to school coz we go to the same school!! well my parents had an accident like one week before their wedding last time. yeah so the reality of it is pretty scary lah. but haha the first time i rode on a bike actually, was when i was in thailand. i was carrying so many things behind, and each time we made a turn, i was like so stiff! haha. but now i'm fine yeah. ^__^ i just don't know how to get down from a bike gracefully yet. hahaha :p i will master this art one day. and i'm also wondering, if i should ever get the chance to ride for real... how to wear the helmet ah? and how to take it off without messing up my hair? hehe... i need motorbike for dummies.

the moon wasn't very bright or round last night huh... the sky was rather cloudy. i didn't do much except to eat (what else) and watch TV... wanted to watch the beautiful mind vcd but my relatives were talking too loudly hehehe. that's my family. all of them talk so loudly that whoever wants to be heard has to talk louder than everyone else, so in the end... well you can guess yeah. hahaha. my cousins had like DORAMON lanterns!! i was like HUH?!? haha wow... gone are those lanterns with just flowers on them or something. and i finally found my snowskin lotus seed paste mooncakes, but with egg :( so i just dumped the egg :p heehee. apparently people pay more for the egg. but why???? hahaha. saw some weird mooncakes, like pandan, black bean, and durian. i almost died when i ate the durian one today but nvm. i like durian, but it should just stick to being a fruit don't you agree!!! haha. last week i ate durian wrapped in crepes. what is the world coming to...

Our hope is in the Lord!! :)

God hath not promised skies always blue,
Flower-strewn pathways all our lives through.
God hath not promised sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow, peace without pain.

But God hath promised strength for the day
Rest for the labour, light for the way
Grace for the trials, help from above
Unfailing kindness, undying love.

God hath not promised we shall not know,
Toils and temptations, trouble and woes;
He hath not told us we shall not bear
Many a burden, many a care.

But God hath promised strength for the day
Rest for the labour, light for the way
Grace for the trials, help from above
Unfailing kindness, undying love.

God hath not promised smooth roads and wide
Swift, easy travel, needing no guide;
Never a mountain, rocky and steep,
Never a river, turbid and deep.

tuesday, aka adventure day, was one big rainy lunchtime man. lots and lots of rain. and maybe you don't know this, i mean, of course you don't, coz you've never seen me doing it, but I'M REALLY BAD WITH UMBRELLAS. haha yeah, just like how i'm really bad at crossing roads. i can't hold on to an umbrella for nuts man. so anyway, we started off with a search for clementi avenue 5 since terence's really bad with the roads in clementi and i have a bad memory ok i admit that. had no idea how to get to fel's nice doctor's clinic. but don't worry we got there safe and sound in the end. then it started pouring. :( poor pumpkin was flooded with mud and fallen leaves. went to ginza for lunch. wah! so many cars lining up to enter the carpark. it was a dreary day... but hey fel, sam, deb, lirong (err, and terence??), i look forward to coming to school everyday because of you. :)

Saturday, September 18, 2004

OKAY OKAY... haha :)

so the horror week came and left. got through the writcomm essay, socpsych test, etc... felt so liberated after that. this week was not as bad. heh ok actually, it was, but nvm, coz it's over. creation of alumni website, jap test, radio stereo project, marketing quiz... all over! :) we had like 5-6 hr breaks on monday and tuesday and we spent all of that time stuck in the school library or the alumni cafe doing work (sort of). couldn't go out for lunch in the pumpkin - not that i missed the pumpkin, i just missed the lunch ok - until yesterday. yesterday was so funny!! hahaha. really really nice. :) had the marketing quiz. it wasn't that bad after all, in fact i did quite well. (not to boast!!) but so happy!! coz like i'm so not used to getting good grades. hehe really!! and somemore i couldn't finish studying...and i was stressed about the template...but God carried me through... :) marketing teacher was of course being funny as usual, wanted to call sam coz she was late for class. he was like, "so where's the troubled one." hahaha. i was so afraid she'd roll down the slope if she picked up his call. hehe. but she was too blur to realised her phone was ringing. hahaha classic sam!! practised all those lines to suan him back but when the time came, speechless! hahaha. :p had prawn mee at adam road, then ice-cream at venezia gutherie house. so nice! i ate tartufo. then later at socpsych, we had to do role-play about assertiveness. haha very funny. had a great time.

later i'm going for hcjc's mid-autumn festival. 中秋节 is here!! i'm so happy. i lurve mooncakes. hehe. i like the bing pi (snowskin) kind, without egg, lotus seed paste. hahaha. like placing an order now like that. eh nowadays got so many weird variations, what PANDAN, GINSENG, LONGAN, huh?? mooncake is mooncake!!! heh.

my dad was out of town for most of this week so everyday we would come back and report how many times we had thought of him during the day. hahaha! sounds crazy right? haha just kidding lah. anyway, he's so cute. my mum missed all his nonsense. we didn't really lah. hahaha. she taped all the episodes of 三十风雨路 for him you know. so funny... she'd be so kan cheong, like "ehh!! start already!! press record!! press record!!" lol. oh last night the ah pa died!!! SO SAD. BUT!!! i didn't cry ok!! heh. i was calm and collected. haha yeah right. i was bawling my eyes out. haha NO LAH... so anyway, this week i've had the luxury of getting fetched around...really grateful!!! to my mum and my brother lah. heh. but i can take public transport ok! i am independent! hehehe. i love 151... going to school and coming home hasn't been this convenient. next time in yew tee or even blue horizon, it won't be the same anymore. sigh sigh sigh.

i long... to travel... all those budget airlines are really calling out to me man!

Wednesday, September 08, 2004

ok updating... :) i have decided to take leave from cats. :) not that i'm proud of it, but cats is really, sigh, it's really one module that is so worth ponning. anyway, i'm now at home trying to get the great big essay on third culture kids done. it was supposed to be due yesterday but thank God it got extended to friday. yesterday night i almost had a panic attack when i looked at my calendar and realised how much work i have. it's gonna be one tough month man...sigh. siannn. haha. that's like the most often word we use on msn nowadays. mingen's away in australia now...my editor is happily in japan...and i am going to yew tee in two months' time. hehehe. oh well. i'm still going to school later for jap though. there's a reading test next week. oh, surprisingly, though i thought i had really killed myself (and my partner) at the last test (oral), i actually did quite well! i still don't know why, but nevermind, still thank God. :)

friday was a busy busy day. had school till 3, then Bible study, then went to watch my cousin and his SCDF combo band, then went to the airport to send sarah off. tried to see if the lost and found office had my handphone but too bad they didn't. then left the airport at about 11 pm... then my brother picked me up halfway. my cousin's band was not bad, they played all those nice songs like this love, smooth, angel, ... i don't know what was the occasion, but the police band also played. think it's some kind of army/government thing. it was near wheelock place. on the way to the concert actually, my auntie was telling me the story about zhang wuji. you know the ch 8 show on weekends? okay even though this is like the fourth version of zhang wuji so far (according to her), i still have no idea what the story is about what. hehe. i was just concerned about who he ends up with. coz you know how many girls like him now?!?!?! yeah but i was disappointed to find out that he ends up with zhao min. eee... why... haha. :p

on monday, we had a 3hr break so lirong and i came home for lunch. it was a good time just relaxing and talking...laughed quite a bit too, as usual. :) but the poor girl has craters in her mouth. ouch!! very scary. the ulcers are so deep! can imagine the kind of pain she's going through. paiseh to make terence send us home, then after that still ask him to pick us up to go back to school... but actually, since lirong wasn't feeling good, then if he can give us a lift also good lor. but in the end we took a cab back coz too late already and they were still at jurong lib so i didn't want them to be even later if they came to pick us up. heard that jlo (marketing teacher) asked them why they were late, the car too slow ah? hahaha.

then had lunch at jurong point on tuesday. i like the foodcourt there. the claypot chicken rice was good. :) after eating, lirong and i walked around, and of course i couldn't resist checking out sembawang and TS again, just in case they had more good deals. hehehe. actually, they do. TS has lin junjie and nan quan mama for $9.90. but it's not like i really really like them. i just heard they're good, that's all. but if i walk past the shop a few more times, i think i'll really buy. haha. jurong point is like the place to be at man. it has ALL the fast food restaurants (macs, kfc, burger king, pizza hut, long john's silver), plus delifrance, famous amos, liberty market, seoul garden, espirit, bum equipment, this fashion, bossini, giordano, popular, SEMBAWANG, TS, music junction, coffee bean, levi's, and many more. and the post office and the cinema. hahaha. but it's in boon lay. and next time when i'm in yew tee i'll be closest to lot 1 shoppers' mall, which is also not bad at all. :) coz it has SEMBAWANG. hahaha. :p

last night i got into some sort of meh lang mood and my poor friend kena-ed all the caps from me online. hehe. all terence's fault. oh well. my brother's going to army at the end of the month. i seriously think that army is the saddest time of a singaporean boy's life. they become psychologically scarred. heh. ok lah not really lah. but it would be the MOST TRAGIC time of a girl's life if they ever make us go army too. :p

san shi feng yu lu is the saddest show ever. there's rarely a happy incident in an episode, not to mention a totally happy episode. i cry almost every night. such a depressing show... sigh. but now huang biren is going to have a new show on weekends so that means we have to see her all seven days of the week?! and the new show is a weepy one also. OH NOOOOOOOOOO... haha. back to the essay. end of update.

of all times, i'm blogging now! i was all ready to go to bed already. but the inspiration came so i thought that i should not waste it. but now i think it has left me. thanks a lot ah. haha.

well anyway, seems like there's a trend... tuesday lunches are always such big adventures! very reality tv material. haha the week before school closed, fel got intoxicated right in the middle of clementi central. what an experience. she went into the dreamy stage for about one hour in mcdonald's, declared that their water was toilet water, but good thing she didn't fall into their toilet bowl. next up she started laughing in the pumpkin for no reason at all. then she ran up the stairs to the classroom with sam chasing after her. and finally she woke up halfway through writcomm tut with no idea what she had done. :) this week was abit scarier. had to find a doctor during lunchtime for her, and terence punctured his tyre in his haste. haha he was so comical, valiantly trying to change his tyre... his clothes got so greasy and his hands...oh my... finally managed to get a kind doc from clementi, thanks to my youth pastor. haha think up till now terence still has no idea what was wrong with fel... :p but she's better now, right? heh. really thank auntie lee luang for her help. and thank God too! i was praying so hard that there would be a doctor available... really thank You for answering my prayers. :)

just realised that i haven't exactly eaten chicken or eggs for many meals now. by the way, is it too much chicken makes the teeth become yellow? i mean like, too much chicken and no vegetables? hehehe. i feel like setting aside one meal a day dedicated to vegetables. think it's time i started introducing veggies to my body. hey, meet kailan... and kangkong... hahaha.

ronald susilo popped the question to li jiawei and she agreed! he's getting married!!!

wednesdays are the most excruciating days ever!! why do we have to go through stuff like cats and iac... creativity can't be taught!

okok shall sleep now. tomorrow morning i gotta churn out my essay outline.

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.
